Is it normal?

[JLeeAmor]

Hi
Iv recently become a lone parent and trying to sort out arrangements for our 1&ahalf year old son.. so far he goes to his Dad's Saturday nights...
anyhow is it normal to not know what he does, who he sees? Ect when he's with him because I send his dad photos and letting him know how he is ect but when he's with him I don't hear a peep & it makes me sad..
Is this normal or shall I just accept the fact he's with his dad and he's safe and I don't need to know what he's p too?
It's horrible from a mothers point of view so just needing someone to reassure me?
Thank you so much xx

I think it's normal. I wouldn't want to have to keep the other parent updated when I was with my own child.

I suppose you could start telling your ex what you were doing and he might start doing the same.

I don't have any experience of that exact situation as DH and I are together but I went away for the weekend and DH didn't particularly update me on their day. Only if I asked. It was a bit strange as I'm a sahm but then I don't update my DH all day with our activities. Same when DS spends the day with grandparents. I find out when I get home what they've been doing. It does feel strange that they took him to see aunty x and to tesco etc but I think it's better than being constantly phoned and texted.
