Meet Single Parents - i Heart Single Parents Social Network

An online community for single parents to meet, chat and find support!

What is one of the most challenging contentions or issues you have with your Ex?

Could be about anything - child care, child support, visitation, taking clothes or toys from one house to the other, discipline, religion, in-laws?

I'm lucky - so far my Ex and I have had very few issues. I stay out of his business, he stays out of mine. But we ask about each other's lives - I like to think we're friends, and can say that I do trust him. But my son is only two! I'm sure "issues" will surface eventually.

Anyway - thought this could be a fun venting discussion so have at it...who better to help solve this stuff than other single moms and dads. iHeart is unique because we have a fair share of both.

Let me pour myself a drink before I get started:

I don't like that my ex-wife tries to tell me how do run my life when she is the one who left.
I don't like that she waited for 12 years to tell me she is a lesbian.
I don't like that she left me for a woman.
I don't like how I didn't see it coming.
I don't like my kids so far away.
I don't like her.

I do like rum.

I think I'll have some.

OK, so I'm going to take a stab at this (don't read into that, purely coincidental and metaphorical):

1. My thoughts/feelings about the kids have zero weight...been like that since day one.
2. If I disagree with something she say's it's WW3...it's her way or hell to pay.
3. I give her whatever she wants...I get maybe a fraction in return and it usually comes at some cost (eg. argument) to me.
4. Communication, communication, communication - a lack thereof...'nuff said on that subject.
5. ...gonna' leave it at that. There's not enough bandwidth here to continue this rant - I might shutdown the super-information highway and then I'd have Al Gore beating down my door all pissed off like. Nah, for sure I'm cool. I'm such a laid back guy that que sera-sera...life's much too short and when you dwell in that negative you only nurture that misery, karma's gonna' getcha....now where's that Cap'n hiding???

I don't even know what to say... Just read randy's and reverse it... Co-parenting is very hard no matter what!

Ok try this one!
My ex lived about 4 blocks away for awhile, (by the way I lived here first!). We stayed out of each others biz and that was fine. This allowed me to see more of my daughter. It also made it easier for me to give my 16 yr old rides to the mall or friends houses as all 16 yr olds will do!
However! in the last 6 months she moved about a 1/2 hr away making the drives to the mall and back a 1 hr trip for me! My daughter, asks my ex for rides and the response she gets is ask your father!
Now in comes the problem!
When she was blocks away it worked! But at $4.00/per gal now this is becoming expensive! and taxing my budget! I have to assume that this is not just something I have to deal with these days so am looking for an amicable solution! (just so you know my ex and I are not on very good terms, espically since my son moved out!) This should make a good thread!

Me in Washington.

My kids in New Mexico

I wish I could drive a 1/2 hour to see my kids.

I guess my comment was more economic than distance Scott, I am sorry for your situation and just hope mine never gets that bad. My kids are my life as I am sure you want yours in your life.
I was just reading the other comments posted on here and see that there are dads out there who pretend to care and really dont! You dont appear to be one of those but well those guys give the rest of us a bad rap! Unfortunately!

Yeah they do.

I apologize for being so brash Paul. I just miss my kids a lot. I haven't seen them since Christmas.
