My husband missed out on access with Mowgli yesterday because he didn’t bother organising anything or telling me what the plan was. He finally got in touch five minutes before it should have been ending and complained that he didn’t know what the plan was. Apparently I have too many rules and by talking to him I send him mixed messages. In the interests of alleviating this situation I have decided to simplify. I didn’t know that I had any rules but I did assume that since he was the one insisting on seeing his **** son fortnightly that he would know it had been a fortnight since last time and organise something. It seems I was wrong.
If I have too many rules for him to understand I will have to make less rules. Now I know I’m supposed to have rules this should be easier. So, what will my rules be?
- You will not hurt our children physically or emotionally.
- I will answer text messages about our children between 9am and 9pm.
- I will not answer text messages outside these times or about other topics.
- I will not accept phone calls from you, nor will I make phone calls to you.
- I will reassess these rules when you can show that you have been completely mentally stable for at least three months.
This is all.
