[quote=Anonymous]Yup, it sucks.  You have to understand that you have little to no control over things while LO is with his father.  He doesn't have to respond to your calls or texts.

This will start getting much easier (it will never be easy).  As your child gets a bit older, you will worry less about the little things as your kid will be able to advocate for himself a little bit.  Until then, just relax as much as you can.

It is really a good thing for your child to have his father in his life.  Although it makes your job harder and more complicated in some respects, you have to think of it as a gift that you are giving your child.  He will grow up feeling loved by two parents.

It sounds like you are a bit on the anxious side and maybe a bit controlling (aren't we all?).  Try to take a step back and let your ex do things his way on his time.  If he comments on your parenting, just take it with a grain of salt.  Ask yourself if you have also been critical of him.

Maybe try to get things off on a better foot.  Complement your ex on the things he does well.  Try to be less confrontational.  You never know...it might help.  In any circumstance, it is unlikely to make things worse.[/quote]
