Yeah, but... I mean, don't answer the phone? The door? That kind of stuff is jerk-ish no? Regardless of how much of a pita they are or whatever. DD just learned this lesson recently. Someone BLATANTLY ignoring you JUST to be rude (ie: for their own selfish reasons) is just that, rude. But, you DON'T respond by being rude back. Two wrongs don't make a right and all that jazz ;)
I don't know, I guess, in dad's shoes, as custodial parent, I'd make sure the kid did his chores or whatever, within the timeframe that would ensure child would be ready to meet other parent, on time. And we went through this a lot when ex and I were going through court (his initiation) and he'd play games blah blah blah. And exSO was of the same mind.. one of the things we battled over early on. But I was [censored]/ly of the opinion that regardless how "easy" it would be and no skin off our noses to play subtle games right back? It still doesn't make it RIGHT and I wasn't going to do it. Period. Whether ex would know it, or my child would know it, **I** would know it, and I couldn't live with myself regardless of how shytty ex might be being at that moment, you know?
