🧒 They make our child carry messages to me

Question

Accepted Answer

A child must never be made the courier for adult fights and money matters. The short answer A child only needs what concerns them, like their own schedule. Relaying the money disputes and blame between parents is not their responsibility. Scenes like this The child was made to deliver messages about child support or visit schedules. They grilled the child about what the other parent said and made them pick a side. How to tell the difference Separate information the child needs from parental conflict the child is being made to carry. When this happens, try this Keep every conversation about child support and parenting time out of the child's hands — use only an agreed text thread or a co-parenting app, directly. Reassure the child warmly: "This is a grown-up matter — none of it is yours to worry about." It helps steady them.
