I dropped my son off at tumbling and hurried over to CVS before his class was over. As I was speeding over to the store, I couldn't help but think about what would happen in an emergency. What if something happened to me? My mother is my emergency contact. Is that a good idea? My mother would have no idea how to get ahold of my son's dad if something happened. What if I was in an accident with Aiden? Shouldn't his father be the first contacted?
I try and keep things as separated as I can. Our lives only need to join when Aiden is involved. Still, I think it would be important for him to know first if something was to happen to me. I would have to say Aiden's fathers life would be affected the most if something was to happen to me. So should he be my emergency contact?

Is there a reason your mom doesn't have contact info for Aiden's dad? If you prefer she doesn't have it, I'd put it on a card or something in your wallet. I still think your mom should be YOUR contact – if something happens to you, you'll want her to be the one making decisions for you and your wellbeing – your son's dad won't be able to do that for you….
I think your sons dad should be an emergency contact if something was to ever happen to him and you cannot be reached. I know at my stepsons school my husband is the second contact, and he has been called by the school when they have not been able to reach the mother.
As for you, yes your son's father will be affected if something happened to you, but I agree that your own mother should be your emergency contact. At the same time though, someone should know how to contact your son's father if something did happen to you.
