My son starts school next year, and in ten days we put in our applications.Two years ago, myself and my now ex partner visited local schools and came to a decision about where we wanted to send him.Yesterday on the phone, I mentioned applications, and my son’s father responded that we needed to talk about schools as his mum wasn’t happy which one we had picked as it’s “more of a detour” if she ever needed to collect him.Now, we do rely on her for childcare maybe 1-2 times a month, nothing regularly set up, just dependent on when we are working. However, I don’t feel this is a reason to change our minds about schools.The school we picked is by far the best, both in terms of curriculum, teaching standards, and the school and grounds itself. I have also checked, and it is no further from her house than the school she wants us to pick.Am I in the wrong saying she has no right to decide where I send my son to school? If I had picked a school further away I’d understand, but they’re in the same village, within half a mile of each other.My ex won’t say anything because he’s such a mamas boy, which contributed to a lot of the problems we had when we were together, and I don’t want to cause an argument that could impact my sons relationship with his grandma.TL:DR Son’s paternal grandma has butted in about school choices, and my ex partner has changed his mind ten days before applying because of this. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2CW7b7w
