Ever had an ex who turned simple co-parenting requests into emotional warfare? You're not alone.
Welcome back to a fresh season of Dating Daycare, where we're kicking things off with our listener-favorite "Dick of the Week" segment. This time, we're unpacking a story that perfectly captures the frustration of co-parenting with someone who views children's happiness as bargaining chips.
When growing kids need a new trampoline because they've outgrown their old one, most reasonable parents would split the cost, right? Not in this case. After spending over $25,000 on private schooling and camp fees, our host reached out to her ex with a simple request to contribute toward a $2,000 replacement trampoline. His response? "Maybe in December" – six months later, when snow would make the trampoline unusable. The kicker? This is the same man who previously held Christmas presents hostage unless his daughter visited his home, and who makes six figures with substantial bonuses while driving a luxury Range Rover.
We also dive into the wild world of prenuptial agreements, discussing an actual clause stipulating that a woman would lose $1,000 in alimony for every pound she gained over 128 pounds. This leads to a broader conversation about relationship power dynamics and how financial leverage is wielded in partnerships.
