[quote=Anonymous][Assuming the children are old enough to speak and OP has described the situation accurately], I'd consider the ex-husband's behavior very aggressive and threatening. "Friendly" or "normal" behavior would be to stop by, introduce himself to the babysitter, chat with the kids a tiny bit, and then excuse himself with "OK, kids, see you tomorrow! Have a nice day! Nice to meet you, Babysitter!" It is quite aggressive to behave as he did--not conversing, and not acceding to the babysitter's request to leave them alone. Creepy! +1 to suggestion that OP consult lawyer to record this episode and to see if expectations can be clarified about these sorts of situations, which are bound to occur again as long as you are living in the same neighborhood. All the more important to get things ironed out well before the children are of an age that they might go places on their own! [/quote]
