Your partner’s ex doesn’t get to dictate what happens at your house. No matter how big and scary they come across, no matter how convinced they are that they’re in the right and you’re in the wrong.
If the custody order doesn’t give them a say in your day-to-day life, guess what: they do not get a say in your day-to-day life. Healthy co-parenting works like a business partnership: the co-parents are equal partners in the business of raising a kid together. Neither one gets to call all the shots.
Just like co-workers, co-parents coordinate together on goals and deadlines as needed, but the specifics of how each department is run should be left entirely up to its respective department head.
In other words: your house, your rules. Their house, their rules.⠀
