While your friends may have good intentions of showing you support, remember they aren't living your life, they just get to watch and enjoy the drama.

Your kid will benefit most of his/her parents aren't embroiled in conflict all the time, especially over things that are perfectly normal for other parents.

Some perspective...

My husband and I have a one-year-old together.

We would have no issues with our daughter having a sleep over at our friends' house. Our friends have a one-year-old of their own, we trust them. Does that mean our kid should be taken off us?

I would have no issue with my daughter staying with her grandparents while her dad and I work. Does that mean our kid should be taken off us?

I don't insist on her dad telling me everything they did together while I was out, does that mean I shouldn't have care of my kid?

Forget the orders. Parent like normal parents do. Normal parents trust each other, they accept that the other has a unique, but important relationship with the kids, that their contribution of unique parenting style is beneficial to them.

You don't have to like your ex, but you do have to be civil for yours kids' sake.

You seem to be desperately seeking/finding a way to remove Dad from the kids life (2 threads on really petty stuff) I suggest you take a good look in the mirror and live and let live without being so controlling
