my kids are with their dad on vacation at his moms house for the week. 7 yo dd called last night crying to say that her 14 y.o. cousin told her how awful I am and that I broke her dad's heart when we got divorced. We have been divorced for over a year. he lives around the corner and we are very amicable and the kids have adjusted great. she was crying and asking me why they think I am so horrible. All of the adults were obviously sitting around bashing me at one point and they 14yo let my dd know what they were saying. i am so livid. her father and i never bad mouth each other.

wow! That hurts. Sounds like you and ex-dh have done a great job holding it together for the sake of your kids, keeping things amicable. It's really ashame that the 14yo had to get involved. I assume the 14 yo cousin is a girl? Girls at that can be a rough, nosy lot and she was probably just trying to stick up for her uncle. It still sucks for your 7 yo though. [ Reply | More

ugh, I'm sorry, that's awful. Can you talk to 7 yo about mean things that people say and how you have to be happy with yourself, or whatever- make it some kind of life lesson about mean girls and how to deal with them? A 14 yo should absolutely know better than to say something like that, but intervening with dh's family will probably only compound the problem. [ Reply | More

i sort of lost it on him bc this all went on bc they hired a 14 y.o from next door to babysit 5 kids for the night so they could all go out and drink. he is there with his sister and brother in law too. my ds is 5 and there is a pool out back and that just makes me nervous bc he can't swim very well and i dont know they babysitter at all. I told her we would talk when she got home. she is very open with feelings, and she said she just wants to be back home. we will talk tonight. [ Reply | More
