I say this with all the love and support in my heart. No two parents are the same. Even parents who are living in one household parent differently. You cannot control your co-parent, and they cannot control you. If your co-parent is not abusing or neglecting the child(ren), there is very little if anything you can do to dictate what happens in another person's home.
There is only so much I as a family law attorney can do to try to dictate how a child is raised in two different households. The law does not provide for such micromanaging and interference. At a certain point, you have to accept that this is your child(ren)'s other parent and learn to deal with it. I am NOT saying, "You chose to have kids with them, so it's your fault," but I AM saying, you can't change the reality that this is your co-parent, so you've gotta find a way to let go a bit and only focus on what you can control, which is yourself.
Anyway, as always, stay safe out there.
