Ex-Etiquette: Make a plan to avoid outbursts in front of son
Q. My ex and I had an amicable split. After a year or so, we put together a parenting plan that worked, but we left off Father’s Day and Mother’s Day. That means our son may be scheduled to spend Father’s Day with me and visa versa. It doesn’t happen all the time, but this year, it did. In the interest of “good ex-etiquette” I offered to take our son to his father’s home (which is 30 minutes away) early Sunday so they could spend the day together. There was traffic. I texted I would be 10 minutes late. When I arrived, my ex yelled at the top of his lungs, “Get in this car! It’s my time now!” My son was in shock and started to cry and as they pulled away I could his father yelling at him for being late. I’m at a loss. What’s good ex-etiquette?
