[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't owe this lady anything. If you don't want to meet her you don't have to if the court doesn't say so. It's not like she's going to be able to know if you're a safe person to be around her daughter based on a 5 minute meet and greet so that's not what it's actually about. She just wants to maintain as much control as she can. The dad is just as much a parent as she is and assessed you to be fit, and that would be good enough for any judge if you were wondering.

That said, you might think about extending some kind of goodwill [b]so the narrative can't be spun that you're not being cooperative. [/b]You can have firm boundaries but also do some of the inconsequential things that she wants with a smile (like saying hi at pickup). Don't be stubborn for the principle of the thing. You're not losing any self-respect by doing that. [/quote]

That's not so much a narrative, as exactly what OP is describing about her own behavior.  Refusing to open and read text messages, refusing to say hello at drop off - OP is not being cooperative at all.  That's not a narrative, it's reality and very childish.[/quote]
