Okay moms - how do you feel about your shared custody situation? I am the residential parent and that means I am supposed to have her most of the time and make the decisions. But my ex is constantly butting his head in and trying to mess things up. He wants a say in everything and he wants to control her schedule. He criticizes the TV she watches, the list goes on and on. He was even says he is going to pick the soccer team she is on this summer, because he thinks he needs to come to her games. LIke I can't take her to the games! anyway, I don't like this shared custody plan, and I think it's bad for kids because it exposes them to two different houses and lifestyles instead of giving them a stable home life.

Well I see it your way but, she does need to be around her father. And he is her father so he does have a say in some things but, he shouldn't try to tell you how to do things at your house or try to make all of the decisions. You are the residential parent, keep reminding him of that. But always remember to keep problems and arguments with him away from the child.

From day one, I feel that a child needs a place that is stable...I would not agree on it. Their mom can get them any time But they have one home. I work with there mom and get along (in front of the girls). In my situation it's what the girls want. It works for my x and me.

Your daughter is lucky to have such an involved father. He has as much right as you do in having a say in what goes on in her life.
You might have issues with them but they are not her issues. Stop using your daughter to punish your ex.

i think shared custody is BS. But, my daughters daddy is a friggin meth junkie who can't show up 3 weekends in a row, so count your blessings, I guess.

umm hes the father, if you didnt want to share your kid, you shouldve gone to a sperm bank. Let him be in her life. Sure he might be annoying to deal with, but its all for your daughter, not you.

Buck it up and deal with it. You should have thought about all of this BEFORE you married him and started making babies with him. This is not about him or you it is about your daughter, Stop being so angry and start acting like a grown up.
