    Sick Kid

    My son is a barter and is sick again.  He is 7.  Finally getting fluids into him and so on.  I just told his mom as she was away this weekend on a work retreat.  She says she is coming over as soon as she lands.   Well.  It is my week and I have the situation under control.  He hasn't even asked for her.   She is a great mom, but this is over stepping boundaries.  Nothing is written up legally, but I am doing fine, and my son I believe is recovering.  He is holding fluids down right now.  It is my week, and I will ask for her help when I need it.  We have been a part for a few months.

    Re: Sick Kid

    I encourage you to set boundaries.  If you are no longer living in the same home, then you have the right to set a boundary regarding when she is welcome to come over.  If you have agreed to a schedule of when you have the kids, you can enforce a boundary and tell her that is will not be taking the child with her. 

    I think you are doing this.  But I want to re-enforce that you are doing the right thing and you have every right to do it.
