She Likes To Send Her Kids Back To Her Ex-Husband’s House With Baked Treats, But Then His New Wife Send Her A Nasty Note About It
This 37-year-old woman and her 29-year-old ex-husband were married for 12 years before getting a divorce.
Together, they have a 9-year-old daughter and an 8-year-old son. Her ex-husband got remarried a couple of years ago, and his new wife brought in three children, who are all over 12, into the family.
Typically, her two kids go to stay with their dad and his new wife every other weekend. His wife’s children don’t have a consistent custody schedule, so sometimes they are there, and sometimes they are not.
One of her favorite hobbies is baking, and she absolutely loves to share baked goods with her friends and family.
Her children refer to these treats as “mommy bakes,” and they love to receive them in their school lunches and for celebrations.
She decided to start making some treats for the two of them to share over the weekends that they were at their father’s. However, things seemed a bit suspicious to her when they returned.
“Recently, I noticed when I unpack their bags the goodies are untouched. I asked them about it, and the first couple of times, they said they just weren’t hungry or that their stepmom had made them something instead,” she explained.
The last weekend that they came home from their father’s house, she noticed a note slipped inside her children’s bags along with the baked goods once again.
The note said, “Bring enough to share,” so she reached out to her ex-husband’s wife and asked her about it.

The wife replied with a long text, explaining how it was not fair that she was sending special treats for her children and did not consider doing the same for the wife’s children.
Then, his wife told her that if this behavior continued, she would just start throwing out the treats rather than sending them back home with the children.
She was honestly pretty shocked by this reaction and had no idea how she was going to respond. Contemplating how to navigate the issue, she wondered if she should just stop sending baked goods with her kids unless it was for a special occasion, and if that were the case, then send enough for everyone to share.
On the other hand, she had no idea that this would become an issue and is not sure if it should even be one.
“I never thought providing food for my kids for the weekend would cause a problem,” she said.
Do you think that she was inconsiderate in not sending enough treats for all of the kids to share? Or do you think that her ex-husband’s wife was out of line? What do you think she should do to move forward?
