NC obviously. What happens if your children do EOW with their other parent? Do you send clothes?
Are they sent back clean?

I think you have missed the point tbh…

@SleeplessInCity

No, I think you’re missing my point. If you think I don’t know what it’s like to have a frustrating ex who won’t do the basics you should be able to expect from another adult, you’re wrong.

I have simply learned that it is better for my own peace of mind to let go of the idea that I can make him play fair, because he won’t. I just do things myself, because it actually takes less mental energy and involves spending less time feeling negative than unsuccessfully trying to change him. I’m already doing 90 percent, what’s another percent or two?

Every time I do something he can’t be arsed to, I quietly congratulate myself on being a fucking great mum and a capable human being, and then move on. Try it, you might prefer it.

Thanks. And yep, every time !

Whenever my stepson comes over on a Friday after school, I always make sure his uniform is washed, dried and ironed for when he goes back home on the Sunday!
He also has his own clothes here which makes is so much easier. Whatever he comes to ours in he goes home in expect if it's uniform. His mam brings up his clothes when he comes up next that he wore home that are also washed dried and ironed
