Ex partner

[ChristinaG26]

Really need help! My ex partner taken our son from last Tuesday (agreed) he was meant to be away until this coming Wednesday. But I get a text from ex partner stating. Son is giving him back chat so he’s sending him home… but also whilst he’s had my son, ex partner has been sleeping in his bed until late afternoon leaving my son to fend for himself! Son is only 8 years old and at home he’s not allowed to use electric things like a toaster kettle etc…. His dad allows him to make toast without being with him or for that matter out his bed!! Please help what can I do. I feel my son is getting a form of neglect…

I’m not sure an 8 year old using a toaster is neglect. If his partner is wake then the child will be classed as suitably supervised.

It sound like the partner is stirring things to me. I would wait until you speak to your son to find out what has been happening.

He does nothing for or with his DS all day then complains he's not behaving, doesn't take a genius to work out why.

Let him bring him home and give him lots of cuddles and do some things with him.

He'll soon realise what a tossed his DF is.

Thank you guys for the comments. To fit for forty my ex partner doesn’t have a partner so my son is left by himself to feed himself etc until his dad can be bothered to get out of bed….

BunnyRuddington… my son hates going to his dads house and I agree to the fact he wonders why my son is behaving badly. I collected my son 1 hour after I received the text to collect my boy and my son told me he went through a puddle on his scooter and his dad called him stupid for doing it and my son replied no I’m not…. I’m just stressed out my son does not want to go back to his dads now. And since being home he’s been absolutely brilliantly behaved, so polite, so helpful!!

I'm not sure I'd make him go if he didn't want to. Is there any kind Court Order in place about seeing his DF?

There was about 2 years ago but court case got closed on it…

There was about 2 years ago but court case got closed on

Not quite sure what you mean by that? What was going on two years ago?

Are you in the U.K.? If so, have either of you applied for a Child Arrangements Order?

There was a court case 2 years ago but after so long and things have been running fine, they close the case.

Yes I’m based in the UK. Not applied for child arrangements order… didn’t know about it
