Is it unreasonable to ask the other parent or their spouse to provide addresses and phone numbers of where they will be taking your child on vacation, for a week, out of the state?
Of course you probably can assume by reading this I do NOT think it's unreasonable. I have been told that it is, because I'm presenting a fear that I will not be able to get in contact with them despite that a cell number has been provided. I was told even further that the cell number is ALL they HAVE to give me. can someone please help me find the words to nicely put wifey and EC in their place in regards to this matter? I really want to throw down and say because I'm the head mom in charge and I said so!!!!!! but that's not my style.

No matter what request you have wifey will most likely find you unreasonable. You have every right to know where your child is staying. Considering this has to do with your child, this shouldn't even be an issue. You have the right to know, period.

It's your way or no way! I wouldn't accept no address as an answer.

You are right
A phone # is maybe not avilable, that I might get.
But you know where you are going, tell me!

OW - DEFINITELY! You deserve to know where YOUR child is every MINUTE that another person has her.
I would just ask them to write down the exact details for your peace of mind. I'd say it is you right to know that information.
You could say, something to the effect of
"Being a Parent yourself, I'm sure you would like to know the exact location of your boys if it was them on holidays. Please allow me the same courtesy and write down the details for me for my own peace of mind"
That might be a little too sappy, but I hope it helps.
oh... and I'm glad you are back on thoughts.

TOTALLY REASONABLE REQUEST!
I would say something like:
"I appreciate that you gave me the cell phone number and will absolutely use it to get into contact with you, if need be. I only worry that if something were to happen to me I would like a solid landline number and/or address where someone could reach you and Minime."
Something like that maybe?
glad your back!

Glad you are blogging again. You of course need to know where Minime is at all times. It is your right at the mother. I don't understand why they don't understand. Cell phones fail as do other phones. I don't think I would be able to let Jordan go, if she were a young child. I agree with jaded.

I would put it this way, you don't feel comfortable with them taking her out of state without you being there. You would feel better with the situation if you knew the name of the hotel and the number just in case, you were unable to reach them or something happened.

Yes, I would say..
In the future should I take minime out of state, I would be happy to supply you the location/hotel name and number so you could reach us should our cell phone die or not have a tower. I expect the same courtesy from you. Thank you very much..
peace :) shemelts

You have every right to know exactly where your child(ren) is. Whether they like it or not, I would say, no address, then they aren't going
