different parenting

[Mother2many]

Until this past year, I basically didn't have any serious issues with how my X parents the children. They are now 8 & 6 yrs old. They are growing up and I wonder how you dealt with things as they matured?

In my house, I don't like guns/shooting... My x does...

My X lets the children play "Call of Duty" and those kind of graffic, violent, bloody, zombie type games, they play "with him"... actually they watch him.... Meanwhile I HATE those games and I end up with 2 kids that have nightmares.... when I tried to talk to my X, he asked which one had the nightmares... like... WTF?? doesn't matter WHO!?!

My X lets the children stay up late and watch movies together...dear dad has fallen asleep again and kids put themselves to bed... THEN I end up with very tired and grumpy children for a few days...

I am sure things will get more challenging as they get older... I dread that.

Kids tell me their stepbrother who is 14yrs is allowed beer with his dad... EIIIK

What did you experience? How did you deal with it?

Hi Mother2many,

Sorry to hear that, I have a friend who's ex does sort of similar stuff to their kid when she goes for a weeknd. She couldn't deal with and she kept saying she din wanna report him coz she still loves him(what???) Its kinda stupid(excuse my lan) to protect such an idiot at the expence of innocent children, think about how you want your kids to be in the future? This kind of memories stays in their mind and one day they might think why you didn't do anything to stop their dad messing up with their upbringing.
Speak to your GP about, lie that its even affecting esp when you leave your lovely kids with him in the sence that, you do know what the gna be doing. Its a fact that some kids grow up to practise these "games" in real life and mess themselves up. Then I suppose your doc can get you a social worker, your kids could even testify about their nightmares, your ex will be warned about all these stuff! Its easy, as a parent you have a say in what your kids can be exposed to, and in this case its affecting them, just put it to aSTOP soonest possible.

Goodluck honey. All will be well.
