Ive just posted this in parenting but thought I would post here too. Do you have issues like this? Do you address it or ignore it? -

My ex thinks its hilarious to call our 7 and 5yo dd a moron. When I asked him not to it did it right in front of me. Its not malicious its in jest but I really dont think its appropriate.

He also encourages them to fight which now seems to include punching in the face.

What can I do? I have spoken to the children and told them its wrong but this is obviously confusing them. Asking him to stop seems to make him do it more. Help!

Agree with cestlavielife - would even phone your local social work team immediately - safeguarding your children is your priority.
