How long have you been divorced ?

I don't see the point in delibrately trying to anatgonize each other.....still.

Seems to me if dad was actually worried about where ds was....he would have called him/woken him up. Sounds like dad was more interested in telling CJ she was wrong.

That said......CJ, you were wrong ! Why not call the ex and tell him where ds is and check the plan with him ? When you KNOW the ex is looking for stuff to use against you.....why give him more ?

It might look to you now like you are winning the fight for your son's affection, but you don't know the long term effects of how he will process the manipulative games that BOTH you and your ex play.

My husband and I are trying to 'play nice' with this whole process, but both of my kids have still talked about issues with their observations.....comments to me meant to hurt my feelings and my husband has gotten the same. Older kids especially will notice many things....their anger is bound to come out. I'm dealing with my os who is entering his senior year of high school. I've been an SAT tutor and worked helping students perfect their college entrance essays, etc. Right now, my opinion on college matters is automatically discounted or insulted. I believe os has it figured that sucking up to dad who controls most of the money is the way to go (my f-i-l is also making BIG contributions to his college fund each year) Obvious signs of picking sides even though most of the time my husband and I try to present a united front.

I wouldn't purposefully give a teenager, who's bound to act out in some way as part of growing up, any amunition by trying to show up the other parent.....tempting though that option may be.

I think you should be making a mental note to call dad next time something like this happens, not rejoicing in the fact that you irked dad and he had the nerve to be upset.
