I coparent with my ex. I get most overnights bc he works nights, but he sees them every day. This has turned into him playing video games with the kids for a few hours then bringing them to me where I get to make them eat vegetables and do all of the boring nighttime routine stuff.

My son prefers his dad so fiercely that I genuinely can't take it anymore. I don't want him to come home because I get my feelings hurt every damn time. I want to give up and just let his dad figure it out full time. I tried so hard to handle it gracefully, but he's so bummed on my weekends and so stoked on his dad's. It's fully broken me. I want to cancel his (very expensive) birthday party because I just can't stomach doing super nice things for someone who makes me feel so shitty. Even if I know he's 7 and can't help it. Ugh.
