If you dislike her for personal reasons, don’t involve your child

It’s possible that you won’t like her for reasons unrelated to how she treats your child. If this becomes the case, try to avoid badmouthing her in front of your child as much as possible. For one, kids have no filter and it’s very likely that he or she will go back and repeat something that they heard. Not only will this cause unnecessary friction, but it will place your child in an uncomfortable position when they’re with their other parent. Additionally, it may cause them to feel as though they have to choose sides.
