to think this is not on?

[sjm123]

I had a bit of a nasty split with the ex, he's not my children's father, but in the 3 and a half years (of the 5 that we were together) that he knew them they did grow quite close and he still sees them regularly.

Apparently the other day when my children were at his (mum's) house, the subject of drugs was brought up by my youngest as she's learned a little about the subject in PSHE at school.

After talking with them for a little while my ex apparently said "I do lots of cocaine, only on a Tuesday though as I have you two on a Wednesday".

I'm just really peed off and concerned that if it's stuck with dd enough for her to repeat it to me that she might go to school and repeat it. I've had to tell him on multiple occasions in the past about keeping his jokes appropriate, he's predictable in his idiocy.

Am I being unreasonable?

How old are the kids? Could they not tell he was joking?

10 and 12. Honestly I don't know if they know it's a joke or not.

I'm just getting really sick of having to tell him to moderate his behaviour around my children. Dd really does like to talk, and repeat stuff especially if she thinks it's likely to get a reaction. It's only a matter of time before she repeats some of this kind of stuff to someone at school, and then I have even more hassle to deal with because of him.

Just tell them he was joking and that he has an odd sense of humour....I don't see the problem really. They have to learn that people's humour is different.

It would be mostly worrying if your children believed him, didn't mention it to you (so you couldn't explain it was a joke) and then grew up thinking that drug taking every week was normal and acceptable because their sort of step dad person said so.
