We were on skype to my brother last night and he said that often when he goes to pick his three year old daughter up from his ex-partners house, she is sending her out with less and less stuff.
Before, she was fully clothed (although they often looked like pyjamas!), with a coat and shoes but no overnight stuff ie definate pyjamas or toilettries! Which we thought was bad enough. But now my brother is saying she is often sent outside to him, without a coat or shoes on!
He isn't keeping her stuff, infact it's the otherway round, a few times (although he's stopped) he's had to put her in clean clothes the next day plus send her back with the dirty ones from yesterday else her mum would flip, saying he was stealing. the clean clothes of which, he never gets back.
If I were your brother, I really wouldn't want my private business about my daughter put up on a public website. As others have said, he's a grown man, it's his daughter, let him sort it.
Hi RH, it is apparently verboten to have a side conversation on someone elses thread (!) however, you are right, it is very unlike me me to have a breakdown over mollykin's threads, or even post on them. It just occurred to me today that people flog theselves out to give answers that are always poo-pooed and never thanked, which seems very rude to me, and as i have 1 nerve left today, it sort of snapped.:)
We are hearing all this second-hand...though molly says 'she is sending her out...'...we do not know if that is literally what is happening. We are just assuming that. So please don't jump on the dads case as if he is just sitting on his arse in the car,and waiting.
