[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here.  DH has taken time off before to take her to doctor's appointments, and stayed with her after she had tubes put in her ears so Mom didn't have to take time off even though it was during her time.  He books days off when she's with us on non-school days.

His meeting was booked well in advance.  He had been preparing for a while.[/quote]

You are fine.  Let him handle the ex. I'd move on mentally if you can. [/quote]

Thanks.  He handles all communications with his ex and 98% of what step-daughter needs.  He sucks at hair-do's and I don't.

Back to work for me.  I half suspect his ex found the thread.[/quote]

OP, you asked why there's pushback. People are trying to tell you-- it's possibly because you and your DH may have not done a good job. You can agree or disagree. But if you and your DH don't even know what a good job look like, and don't try to figure it out, then you're going to have this kind of issue ongoing.[/quote]

You are the ONLY one trying to tell her that because you have issues. The rest of us are telling her it was totally fine for dad to leave his daughter with his wife.[/quote]

It is totally fine. There is nothing wrong with that. But it's not fine if, in the big picture, he tends to dump his kid on women to the detriment of his parent-child relationship. And it's not fine if he and his wife didn't handle all of the responsibilities of having a sick kid and expect the ex-wife to deal with the administrative stuff. OP needs to wrap her head around that-- that kind of thing is the job of the parent with custody on the day. Even if you have, OMG, a meeting.[/quote]

You are making up stuff. [/quote]
