My husband and I are separated and the children were with him this weekend.
Whilst there, I had an email from my daughter’s tutor (doing 11+) to say she was disrespectful and disruptive in class. I told my ex (irritated I’d brought it up on his weekend) and he obviously had words with her.
When she came home, we had a chat. She is going to apologise to the tutor next week (which she had already agreed to do with Dad). But I took it one step further and said she can’t play video games until next weekend (after her next session with tutor).
Ex is mad and thinks I’m being totally unreasonable and he had already dealt with situation and now I’m “double punishing”. Co-parenting like this is a recent thing so still finding our way.
Am I being unreasonable? We’ve never had any behavioural issues before and I’m really shocked she was disrupting the class. I feel that surely there has to be some consequence of her poor behaviour?
But am I undermining him by implementing my own punishment? He has them EOW.
Any advice would be appreciated.
