Ok, I have to conduct the transfer of my step daughter to her mother every other weekend. My husband has primary custody. We have to meet half way between our homes in a parking lot as per her request. She has started dropping her off without shoes. (She is 4 by the way) Apparently, she does not want us to have the shoes she has bought for her for whatever reason. My husband and I disagree with this, we believe that shoes are basic and she should not be dropped off in a parking lot with bare feet. I suggested that we buy a pair of shoes and ask her to keep them in her car for transfers if she doesn't want us to have her shoes. Do you think we are over reacting to expect the child to have shoes on?
PS. I am asking this question for my husband, and because of the valuable resource we believe answers can be from others personal experience. Often I hear, "You are not her mom, you need to stay out of it." Please don't bother to answer if thats your outlook. I care about the child.
