AIO my baby father intentionally tries to make my life harder
Context: I am living with my daughter’s dad until I get back on my feet and I swear he tries to make my life more difficult on purpose. My daughter is on her phone way too much (she is 10) and especially at night, so starting about 2 nights ago I (finally) implemented a “no phone after 10” rule and now I take her phone and IPAD at 10 every school night and she has been sleeping SO much better and not napping after school anymore. She used to nap for like 4/5 hours because she was staying up late on her phone. And if you’re wondering why I didn’t implement this rule sooner, it’s because her dad doesn’t agree. He literally thinks that she can “take care of herself” and “knows how much sleep she needs” and “if she’s getting enough sleep all together even if that means taking 5 hour naps after school, that’s fine” which is f*%ing insane to me. Like hello?
Okay well, I have an interview tomorrow for a job that I might be working at past 10 on weekdays and I asked for him to please make sure she doesn’t have her phone or iPad after 10 on school nights as she has been doing great with this schedule so far. She also does volleyball so it is very important she is getting enough sleep at night not only in general, but for school and volleyball too.
He basically told me he’ll make sure she’s asleep by 10:30 but not 10. ???????? I don’t understand why he can’t just stick to the schedule we’ve been sticking to… it’s 30 minutes earlier and it has been working very well for her.
He also does nothing but eat and watch anime from like 8-12 so there is NO reason he can’t make sure she is asleep with no electronics by 10.
