Been separated for several years. We still get on well but we do have differing attitudes towards parenting. Ex still tries to control certain issues.
Such as "He's been on his DS for 20 minutes this morning so no more DS today. Or computer"
Or "Don't let him watch too much TV" - even though it's perfectly ok for ex to let him watch a long film.
Or "make sure he gets some fresh air today." When she rings up to check ask what we're doing.
Or "make sure he has a healthy lunch / tea"
Don't get me wrong - I do not let him sit for hours watching TV or playing on the computer. And we do get outside and do stuff.
But I do get pissed off with all her demands and need to control what DS does in my house. I'm just not sure how to handle this as it's exactly the same as when we lived together - her opinion was the only one that counted and my opinion mattered for fuck all. I don't want to get into an argument but how can I get her to see that's it "my house, my rules" when DS is with me?
