How does this sound for starters?

How does this type of idea sound for starters?

you can take my car to dads even on transition days and use it as your own if you want to during the week. If you want to stay over any time you can use the car to come here.. For example if you work a late shift at work or an early one the next day or if you have 600 am practice at school. Just let us know. You should have a discussion with dad about this.

Little transitional changes

I'm going to wait a week at least before talking to my daughters about the whole car thing. I want to make sure I'm saying the right things and things that are helpful and I want to think about it beforehandĀ 

I think that I just want to let them know that they're getting older and deserve more freedom especially now that they have their license.. As to what choices they can make... As far as coming and going. If they want to stay the odd night here or there just text. And to have a discussion with their dad if needed etc. And just tell them they can use my car mostly as their own

Separate question... Driving my son here

Im also thinking on my week with the kids. Usually my ex provides some drives. I don't want to be dependant on him considering his controlling tendencies so I am considering just telling him that I will drive my son back and forth from school to my house every day. Usually I helped on his weeks and he helped on mine.

Rapunzel(s) not allowed to leave daddy's house or make decisions?

So it became very apparent last night that my ex is not allowing the kids to drive his new beater car over and that he is forcing the kids to not come over Tuesdays on his week like they had been. (last post). Because all of the sudden he allowed my daughter to use this car on the Tues only so she could drive back to his house after and not stay over

I read some old texts. Winterglow was 100 percent right. The text from him said if I didn't want to split on a car to use between our houses he would buy them a car for use at his place only....... So there you have itĀ 

Another thing that popped up that proves the theory?

The kids have not been allowed to drive the car (that was supposed to help and save drives) over to my house. It's gone so far that they have not been allowed to drive this car even to school and back from his house on his week. He would drive them to the mall and make them take a city bus and then pick them up. I guess so they couldnt come here or do anything else after school it seems

Have I hit the nail on the head? Dad trying to block kids from coming over on his week

To me it seems like my kids father is trying to block my kids from coming to my house during his week.. By telling them they can't have the car overnight or in the evenings. I think... He wants them strictly week on week off with no varianceĀ 

I posted previously about my 17 yo daughter getting her license. Her dad seemingly buying them a car to use. Him saying it's going to be a game changer for our driving problems.. Save some drives. The girls thought the car was mostly for them.

Daughter is driving... . Now what??

I took a (tiny) break on here and now I'm back. I was feeling a lot of stress and anxiety over my husbands ex and my own ex.

My husband was calling me on my chemo day over anxiety with nasty messages bio moms sending him. I ended up having anxiety attacks and essentially "freeze mode" from feeling so much stress. I had to tell him I won't discuss this.

Now.. My daughter (17) has her driver's license. My ex husband bought a car essentially for their use. A small beater car. He already had a brand new giant truck he drives.
