MY HUSBAND BABY MAMA SENT ME THIS HOW SHOULD I RESPOND 🤨
I told him I can't cope it's me or them! What would u say?
I don't want to coparent with her!
Heeeey. I’ve decided to let my son and daughter come over there this weekend ,but as I told him there will be some rules. #1. Do not post my kids on social media. #2. Do not take them anywhere without getting my approval first. #3. Do not do their hair or make any changes to their appearance. Normally I handle that, but I haven’t gotten around to it this month. And I don’t allow just anyone to do it. #4 Neither of you are to discipline them not even him. If there is a problem call me and I will get them straight.
Break up?/ Stay?
