Hi everyone
Just wanting to let off steam really. The boy's Dad just collected them and I had a very fraustrating passive agressive talk with him (what's new).
The history is, he didn't give them their inhalers last time he had them (weekend before last). Luckily no harm was done, but the four year old wasn't great when I picked him up on the Monday having missed 3 doses.
At the door today I said I can't afford for them to be ill Mon (I have pneumonia) so he must give them their meds.
I said it in front of the boys and made the boys repeat what their meds were and that they were responsible for taking them.
I asked him directly 3 or 4 times to give them and he replied "Mmm-mmm" to each one! Arghhhhh he's such a dick. I said "what does Mmm-mmm mean" to which he said "well yes".
So I got a grudging yes. I think if he doesn't give them this weekend it will have to be a solicitors letter. What a tool.
It's so wearing.

Yes I agree a solicitor's letter is needed if he is really not co-operating, Gem, and I am sorry to hear of your own health problems, how long will it be for you to recover or is it recurring for you?
IDT I agree record it but once again this is something for your solicitor, you need a list for things I reckon 
Thanks Louise. I've only had pneumonia a couple of times - it comes because I have chronic sinusitis. It's not a big deal just need to rest

I can see my solicitor running for the hills.....
is it a solicitors job to direct medication though?
Im not to sure, this that my son has is a controlled drug it would knock anyone out for hrs so needs careful use I feel a health professiol would be better, my ex won't listen to me.
Well yes a letter from the doctor for giving to your ex would be a good idea, IDT, but also I was thinking that if he is not administering it correctly then this is not good care of your son and is therefore a matter for your solicitor
GEM that sounds a real pain that it can creep up on you like that, hope you can manage to get some rest this weekend.
I had a similar situation with my daughters father. My daughter has meds, pumps and creams she needs daily and her father took little intrest in learning the dosages so I said visits would need to be via a contact centre where a nurse could be there to give my daughter her medical stuff as she could end up very poorly without them. My daughters father took notice as soon as I mentioned any kind of legal people or places, explaining its best for our childs health. and now he does it without fail.
i think sometimes when the other parent isnt there full time to see an attack or the child in hospital they fail to realise how serious a childs health could be
Hi good enough mum
well if its their health it comes first
I have had some(lots) of issues with simalar so will watch your thread with thread with interest not wanting to hijack I have a controlled drug, I'm only to get the medicine to pass to him, hes giving it to him at the wrong time so hes drugging him when not needed sorry
can you put it in a text? So you can record it
its very wearing
