Being a bad BM tonight to Disney Dad

ETexasMom's picture

My ex is very immature and of course never parents and only gives our BD16 whatever she wants. He doesn't have a car so every Friday I drop her off (because he has no girlfriend because his life revolves around BD Sad ) and pick her back up Sunday. Tonight I drop her off and 30 minutes later she text me he's finding a friend to bring her back home. I start calling thinking something is wrong and she won't answer. So I text her to pick up and she does.

Apparently ex said something about her boyfriend and she got upset yelled at him and stormed off (typical teenage girl on her period behavior). Well being a Disney dad with no SM to push her off on he decides he suddenly has a friend who can transport her to my house. I'm pissed, he refuses to take the phone and so I had her put it on speaker! I told him he was not bring her back he was going to go home and parent her. If she was being a brat send her to her room!!!! I told him if I ditched her on him every time she was moody or got mad at me and her SF then she would be bouncing back and forth between me and him hourly.

How are you supposed to teach your ex not to be a disney dad?!?!? We've been divorced 12 years at this point you would think he would figure out how to send her to her room when she's moody!

"How are you supposed to teach your ex not to be a disney dad?!?!?"

If I had the answer to that question, my DH would actually parent his son. Heck, half of all women on StepTalk wouldn't even need to be here lol.

You'd be the hero to SM's and exBM's everywhere if you knew that answer Wink

The window of *teaching* your ex anything is long past. All you can do is make dd stay there during his time w/her. He sounds very immature, but luckily only has 2 years left of hands on parenting with DD. Those are gonna be some rough years!
