not a *legal* question, per se...

What is the name of your state? KY

Ky...

I have sole custody/father has visitation every weekend. I signed up my son for baseball, and he has started practicing on the weekdays. His first game of many games is coming up this weekend. Here's what I did wrong...I signed him up not thinking about the fact that the weekend games would interfere with the father's time on the weekend. I (all the while with my head up my arse) assumed that his dad wouldn't want to look like the bad guy and would allow our son to go to the games.

I know I should really talk to the father, instead of just assuming and acting like a child....so, any advice on how to ask him? Should I offer to provide transportation? I just don't want anymore friction between us than there already is.

I do realize that if the dad says no, then I have no legal leg to stand on, since I did sign him up, totally disregarding the dad's time. (I really have arrogant moments).

TIA

Well, at least you KNOW you've been an ass. That's a step in the right direction.

Call dad and admit you screwed up. Ask him if he'd like to take the child or trade days, maybe have more time in the summer or work some other trade and PROMISE on your virginity (ooops! too late) that it will never happen again.

Because, as you've realized, the only person who this will hurt is your son.

LOL Breeze!! Thanks so much for your advice...compromising is a good idea, I'll try that.

I am really trying to think about others besides myself (a practice I've been indulging in for a while, unfortuneatly). Occasionally, I have gotten this "F-you, IIII have sole custody, and you don't" attitude, and it's really unbecoming. Plus, eventually my attitude will rub off on my son, and hurt him.

Thanks again

A good practice in the real world.

In the bedroom it's every man (and woman) for themselves
