The drama probably isn't over yet. He'll make a farking Tiktok video about it or something. Or he'll commit self-harm after watching a farking Tiktok video. Social media has created a new level of demented.
And if he does something like that, the daughter will be horrified.
From her post-action report at the scene of the breakup, he didn't realise how much he was hurting her, cried a bit, and they parted friends. Hopefully that means she talked him down enough to realise that the world isn't ending.
I remember being cheated on and I thought the world was going to end. At least I had alcohol to try and prove it.
Who knows wtf they'll do. My step daughter live streams herself making breakfast. These kids really are the canary in the coal mines and us parents have zero points of reference. This is completely uncharted territory.
This generation have no concept of boundaries. I'm reminded of that girl Sophie in Dunners who posted her every thought on FB for everyone to see and read (including her narcissistic ex). Then he killed her. Sometimes it is good to keep some things to yourself
And need instant and constant gratification. Not good.

@majorrage you'll get plenty of practice before she is an actual teenager!

yeah instant, I mean god forbid they look at the message and someone doesnt reply straight away, and yet when you text the little feckers they take an age to reply.

"I didn't see the notification"
And
"I had my phone on silent because I was doing something important!"

I think they're just ignoring it
Which is fine. I can ignore their requests to get a lift or whatever as well

Polish bitches assemble. Ms 5 starts school next week. What should we expect lol? I know any change in routine will have ripples, but any advice on how it has been navigated in other households would be welcome.
Doesn't help Mr 2 is being weaned against his wishes lol. He is well and truly making his displeasure known... during the day, at 2am, 4am, sometimes we even get a 5am titty tantrum! -

and if necessary some underhanded manipulation.
I have a shovel, a chainsaw, and a working knowledge of all State Forests within an hour of my house.
Invest in a wood chipper or get yourself some pigs. Graves in forests are too easily found.

If she is a daycare baby it will be smooth because they are used to long days. Otherwise wanting to sleep early is a nice benefit. No in class drop offs in NZ primary schools I don't think, or maybe they make an exception for year 1?

Nah you're allowed to go into class to support your child's learning under red, you just can't act as a volunteer unless you're vaxxed, boosted by march. It's not level lockdowns.
Our kids were kindy kids so school was no issue, just the next step

Our school won't allow parents on the grounds as I understand it. Which is great because I prefer to keep the motor running

That's a good point, after the intro/onsite days. Drop the kid, and go. Let the teacher deal with the tantrums/tears, if any. Within seconds of parents going they're fine, 99% of the time. Staying around just prolongs it
