[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He said I didn't remind him of my childs birthday.  So I should have reminded him about that?  I should remind him that school is starting and she needs new uniforms and school supplies.  So I have to remind a grown man about what he should be aware of.  I think that is terrible and I refuse.  He failed to show up once for court on the child support hearing...I guess I should have called and reminded him about that as well huh?[/quote]

I would remind him of your child's birthday, because having your dad forget your birthday is a terrible thing for a kid and I'd want to insulate my kid from that. I would not remind him about the rest. My ex is the sort of person who believes himself to be a very engaged and involved father, but he is not involved in the day to day logistical things like school uniforms and supplies and events. I remind him about those things, usually by sending him a bill for his portion of them (we split them 50/50). I would not remind him about court, because the court needs to see that he is not engaged.

But yes, protect your children from their father's negligence.[/quote]
