So my ex and I currently share care 50/50 of our two boys but he has yet again applied for more.
He is terribly controlling.
The latest is...
He has a real go at me for "not answering my phone" when my 13 yo had an accident at school (minor, but he just needed checking out at A&E). Son was in my care that week but for some reason they contacted dad and not me. Totally get that they wanted to get hold of someone quickly though so that's fine.
I explained to him that I was driving at the time. I always put my mobile down upturned on the passenger chair as it obviously isn't safe to be tempted to check when driving. Even more so as I have my baby daughter in the car with me. I was on my way to collect son from school. I parked up once I had found a space (road is notoriously busy as school in central location, hence why I always leave with time to spare).
As soon as I had found a place to park in safely I checked my phone to see a voicemail from him explaining school had called him as there was an emergency and to call him urgently.
I immediately did so.
The time between his first call and my return of call was 14.58 - 3.06. Eight bloody minutes.
Am I bad mum?
