Neutral Response to a Unilateral School Decision
Educational decisions are typically joint under most parenting plans. When a co-parent makes a unilateral decision about schooling, a neutral but clear response is warranted.
"I enrolled [child] in [school]. They start next week."
"School enrollment is a joint decision under our parenting plan. I wasn't consulted on this and I have concerns. Can we schedule a call this week to discuss before anything is finalized? I want to make sure we're both informed and in agreement."
Why This Response Works
This response is neutral in tone but firm in principle. It references the parenting plan, states the issue without attacking, and proposes a constructive next step.
What to Avoid
Don't say "you can't do that" in an accusatory way. Instead, redirect to the process: "our parenting plan requires we both agree."
