I have been there, and in odd situations with my ex, but I also never forgo the really love they have for each other, and just keep on top of it. Fortunately ours is informal agreement and the kids had the say, in what I drew up a while ago. Love is the most important part, for short term situations I'd say. Though, maybe a few instructions might be OK too. The Devil tries to convince everyone he doesn't exist. The state tries to convince everyone they cannot resist. Do not go quietly into the good night. Rage Rage against the dying light! |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 4217461 Canada 01/01/2012 09:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | They were in the same clothes I sent them in. My 9 year old's hair is so tangled it may need to be cut. The 2 year old has 15 mosquito bites on her little legs and they have not brushed their teeth the whole weekend. I am furious. My 9 year old told me that they don't have to take baths until right before I come and that since I came an hour early that's why they look dirty???? Can this be grounds for supervised visits? Apparently this is his "normal" behavior? I could spit nails right now! Quoting: Pink Taco Give it a rest! So what if they wore the same clothes all weekend. I partied all night last, passed on the couch in my clothes and I'm still wearing ther same clothes. I'm starting to stink a little bit, but, other than that, I'm not experiencing any negative effects. |

Dads will never be moms, and kids don't mind getting a little dirty. They were probably doing outdoorsy things. He probably doesn't get to spend as much time with them anyway. As long as they enjoy their time with him that is the most important thing. |

I just think it's time to stop making excuses for his inadequacies and see it for what it really is. Quoting: Pink Taco Is he the same guy you met and had theses kids with? Is this some kind of shocking behavior from him? Maybe he is trying to counterbalance your overzealous parenting BTW they are children not ladies...children like to get dirty and have fun, ladies not so much.

Watch her brush her hair, brush her teeth and teach her to do this for her sister. A nine year old should be able to do this unless she is just rebellious. You can teach her to bathe the two year old as well or at least sponge her off. Tell them why it is important to keep clean and change their clothes each day even if no one makes them. And send mosquito repellent with them or whatever you think they might need when they visit their dad until you can get the situation under control. Just do the best you can do. BTW, if she won't take care of brushing her hair tell her you will just cut it short. If she wants that then cut it and if she doesn't then she will make sure her hair is brushed. Maybe this is a good time to teach personal responsibility to the oldest since her dad isn't doing anything for them. |
