Ex sends pics of herself and child

[hellfyre]

This is my first time being with a guy who has a child and a good coparenting relationship with his ex so I take it day by day. They speak daily which is something I'm learning to deal with but I still find it odd that she thinks it's okay to include herself in pics she sends him of their child. To me it's seems unnecessary that she be included if the point is to just share pics of their child but I'm wondering if I'm overreacting out of insecurity. Is it okay to share pics of yourself with your child to your ex who has a long-term girlfriend or are boundaries being overstepped?

I honestly think you are overeating.. .

 

Are you calling her fat?

 

Does your boyfriend have Facebook? Perhaps he could send a not so subtle message by cropping out the ex or blurring her face and then posting the kid's pic on his page. It's possible she is sending the same photo to lots of people so it's not a big deal she is in the pics.

Definitely overreacting.

 

I wouldn't ask him to try to send a message about it either because it would be petty in any case and if they are coparenting and maintaining a good relationship (often includes friendship), seeming to have a problem with that is not going to go your way at all.

Overreacting.

 

My parents separated over 20 years ago and my mom is still my dad's first phone call when he's not well (for instance).

They decided to take coparenting really seriously and, if my step dad had objected to anything (like my dad having dinner with us every day, for instance), I'm sure things would not have gone well for him.

 

My dad is a big presence in our lives and step dad just learned to deal with it (he's been around for over 20 years as well) and they've always been quite friendly, which may not have been easy, but it made everyone's life better in the long run
