So, I just had my first heart to heart with my kids’ new step-dad. Granted, it was at our swap at a neutral locale, and it was his first time. It did not go how I thought it would. How does a cordial conversation lead to threatening to call the police? More to follow.

F that guy

Ex just had a newborn on Friday and C-section. She never says what the plan is. He shows up over 15 late, to the point I had to take kids to the bathroom. I have to communicate thru my ex because he’s never wanted to talk to me and she also refuses to let me have his number. I tell the kids to stay in the car as step dad and I need to chat first. I say, congrats on the newborn they just had, as it’s his first at 53; never married. I then explain how my ex/his wife never would let my wife/step-mom pick up or drop off alone and that’s where things so south. “I don’t know your history,” “can we just swap the kids,” “that’s between you and her.” I say well how would you feel if you were on the other side and he says, “should I call the police?” I’m still totally cordial and composed and say, “to do what? They’re my kids and you’re not a custodian. Why is that even your thought?” And he continues to say “please just put it paper,” “that’s between you and her or your PC (who I pay 100% for),” and “I don’t know your history.” He then calls my ex who tries to get me on the phone. I get the kids and put them in their car and say goodbye. He just gives me a thumbs up and leaves. I’ll never do this exchange with him again as it’s obvious I can’t trust him. Like you’re welcome btw.
