What do I do?!
My ex and I co parent (me being the main caregiver) he sees our son one night a week only just after not being able to see him for a year… I’m the gentle parent and he’s the hot head…hence why we broke up, his dad can be very agressive. now he’s just messaged me saying that my sons cousins were throwing things at him last night (my son is 8, his cousins are both 10 this year) and I’ve said our son.l just needs to stay calm and ask them politely to stop because he gets upset quite easy and they find this funny and carry on to upset him more, I’m not sure why the parents are telling their kids to stop bullying him but that’s not for me to comment on as they aren’t my family, but he’s said he’s told our son to smack them both!!!! Wtf! No, I said I do not agree with him hitting anyone! Especially not family members and ever more so they are both girls! I don’t think it’s okay at all for him to be saying this to him! More pics in the comments I’m absolutely god smacked
I can see both your sides to be honest if someone's bullying my kids I tell them tell them to stop or tell someone and if it continues and they don't listen make sure you stick up for yourself and defend your self. Cause if things don't change and they can't stick up for them self the bully will just keep on bugging them. But ya try telling them to stop first but if that doesn't work you have to stick up for yourself. Gentle parenting doesn't mean let your kid get picked on. Yes it's hard cause they are both girls so hitting probably might not be the best but if you ex sees them being mean maybe that's when he should step in cause they are girls.
