Had DSS (7) today - he's filthy, as usual, hasn't been in the bath since we had him last. Also he said he had a scratch on his foot so I told him I'd put some cream on it - when I go to put it on his toenails are like talons, and curving round into his toes. I try so hard not to react to this stuff but I did ask him if his Mum cuts his nails - he said she does do older brother's (not my DH's son, and he's 13). I haven't noticed his nails before but that might be because he used to bite them off (he said) but can't reach them anymore.
And she hasn't responded to our polite letter asking her to confirm Xmas dates (which she does on purpose, knowing we have lots of family stuff to juggle).
Sigh.
