Single Mom Vacations Milan, Kid Stuck With Dad's Disco Nights
KEY POINTS
- •Barbara Pazur, a single mom, took a three-day trip to Milan with a friend this summer.
- •Her daughter, who had struggled with sleepovers at her dad's, stayed with him during her absence.
- •This time apart allowed Pazur to recharge while helping her daughter reconnect with her father.
Barbara Pazur’s custody saga hit peak comedy gold this spring when her mom broke ribs falling off a bike (vacation, nice), leaving the ex as sole babysitter during a coveted Milan trip. Five years of no sleepovers at dad's ended thanks to this three-day escape with a friend, 20 countries’ worth of travel envy, and strict bedtime rules (10 p.m., one ice cream, max 20 minutes iPad). Daughter warmed up to disco-before-bed karaoke courtesy of dad, who barely mumbled 'Okay' when told to step up solo. Result? Mom recharged, kid happy, and a rare win over the terrible game of parental custody chess.
