manipulate the other parents life? What I mean is an ex who would tell the child they have no responsibility while the other parent is trying to instill a sense of self-worth and self respect by having the child (age 10) do little things to care for him/herself such as keep their room clean, shower regularly, and slight chores around the house in which they get an allowance for as well as making sure their school assignments are done. Pretty much what ever the main custodial parent tries to accomplish the ex contradicts, even if what the main custodial parent is doing might be good for the child. This also includes scouting, the ex tells the child that it is no good for them and now the child doesn't enjoy going anymore.
