And I've changed my name because I'm a chicken.

Quick background - he had the kids, organised for them to go to a sleepover at their cousin's I cannot stand his brother and wife and one of the good things from the divorce is that I never have to see them again

My DC's keep picking up verrucas. We go and get them treated and they are clear, then a few weeks later, they're back. Transpires that cousin has "loads" of verrucas - two on one foot and 3 on the other, they are huge and stick out and he can hardly walk but he doesn't go and get them treated because his mum took him and he cried so they never went back. Has had them since before Christmas. (as per DD1 who is 13)

Also, my DD's are 13 and 10 and whilst at ex-BIL's watched a 15 film (not going to name the film as that would seriously out me but horror genre).

Spoke to ex-H and he said he had no idea that child had verrucas or that they watched said film, and he isn't going to speak to them about it.

Should he?

I think he should be having a conversation about the cousin keeping socks on (he doesn't he runs about in bare feet) and also not to let DD's watch age inappropriate films.

So AIBU?

Sorry got the ages wrong. I suppose with a 10 year old I would eb slightly more bothered as that is quite a lot younger than recommended age, but really it does come down to you and ex H agreeing on your parenting choices together.
As long as they are not being upset/ badly influenced by these DVDs I would be inclined to let it go. Although I would keep an eye on it especially if they started seeing 18 ones.
