Ex is a highly educated, neurotypical adult with a good career. Generally a great dad. We do 50/50 and mostly co-parent really well.
However........
He took DS (8) to sports training tonight and told me by text afterwards that DS was a sweaty mess when it finished. I then asked if DS had had a shower and Ex responded no, it hadn't occurred to him to shower the sweaty 8 year old and it was now too late as he's in bed.
DS has swimming tomorrow so will be going with tonight's footy sweat on him. He's only 8 so not yet whiffy but still, it's just so bizarre to me that it didn't occur to him to clean the sweaty child?
Before anyone says it was odd for me to ask about the showering, it's an ongoing issue where if I don't remind/pester/nag he won't do it. If I didn't it would be max once a week at his house.
His own hygiene is questionable (since we split and especially since covid/wfh). His partner deals with laundry (🙄) so kids are always in clean uniform and definitely do not smell. They shower every day they're at mine.
Eurgh. Not normal is it?
This is the same Ex who left a 13 year old with waist length, super thick hair to apply her OWN nit lotion and then wondered why it didn't work.
GIVE ME STRENGTH. And wine.
