As for how it would happen if DH and I were to split, I have no idea. Hopefully I'll never have to answer that question.

we go together, doesn't matter what we think of each other, ds comes first.

as a teacher - the idea of a whole bunch of extra appointments just thrills me. I personally wouldn't do it. If they don't want to come together they should take turns in going. Although, i'd happily post out two sets of reports as that doesn't take much extra time.

friend of ds's mum and dad (separated) go separately

and they both insist on each having their own set of letters from the school so once a week, the school collects duplicates of everything and hands him his own set

I think they only talk to each other through lawyers!

My xp never used to bother coming to parent's evening when we were officially together, now he makes the effort, to show what a committed absent parent he is. We go together but my jaw generally aches with teeth gritting irritation by the end of the evening.
Not really on the subject, but reminded by it - what happened to your dry humping fornicating couple in the playground Cod? Any developments?

HowwwlidayMumsPukefest · 17/10/2006 17:08

But there are situations when the child lives equally with 2 parents. Shared care. I'm not talking about absent parents here talking about very involved hands on ones.

cece · 17/10/2006 17:13

As a teacher parents who live apart either:

come together

only one comes

or

in extreme cases they make separate appointments ( this has only happened to me twice in 14 years though)

HowwwlidayMumsPukefest · 17/10/2006 17:14

We're the exceptions then! dh's exp is certainly unique in the way she acts though!

cece · 17/10/2006 17:15

Onre couple even came on separate nights and then they both spent a lot of time trying to say any problems were due to their ex They really didn't get on

HowwwlidayMumsPukefest · 17/10/2006 17:21

Trouble is its never productive if they go together, sd had a problem with the alphabet and dh mentioned it. Exp just denied any problems and said he was making it up turned into a row rather than sorting out a simple prob for sd. Since then he's gone solo.

When my parents split up I think they had seperate appointments at first, but then once my mum moved out, she stopped going to them anyway.

My dd's have got parents meetings on thursday and the school decided that I could be in 2 places at once and gave both dd's the same time slot, so I am going to dd2's and xp is going to dd1's. TBH though next time i probably won't even tell him.

nutcracker · 17/10/2006 17:32

Was very embarrasing for me at secondary school, having to get 2 seperate lots of appointments.

lilibet · 17/10/2006 17:35

Not read all of this thread but when exh and I had our absolute but not our nisi we were still living in the same house and he refused to go to appointments if I was going

He would go if I wouldn't and I wouldn't not go so he missed out!

Surfermummystomb · 17/10/2006 19:19

Dh has never been with his x, he always makes a separate appointment. She was horrified when he suggested that they stood together at sports day, and told him that she would stand on the opposite side to see who dsd would run to , so after that he's just done his own thing with the school. It's better that way as it's always so difficult to raise any worries with his x, she's extremely sensitive and see any concerns as dh criticising her parenting skills.

She's never told dh anything about what dsd does at school, and certainly wouldn't pass on stuff from a parents evening. She thinks that when dsd is with her it's nothing to do with dh.
