...men. I hate to display some double standard cause I really hate it when women do this, we seem to be able to say anything about men, on the cover of a magazine I saw in a store the other day was a picture of a woman who had been treated badly by her ex and she simply said 'men are retarded' I am sure that if the same thing had been written about women the magazine,the editor and the person who wrote it would be sued! but getting back to the point, after chatting with my son about his weekend with his dad, he spent most of it with his grandma and they didn't even put him in a bath! he was so dirty when he got home, you wouldn't believe it! he spends every other weekend with his son and he lets his mom take care of him most of the time what is the deal with men!?! and now he has my dog too..

one good thing is I figured out how to make good coffee not great coffee but really good and as always I only buy the best so this is ok. now it's 11 in the morning and I have already had about 6 cups of coffee and I think I need to stop for a while....

    Speaking as an honorary dude because I do tend to have the mentality of a guy in most situations, and that is just the kind of thing if I was ever put in a position of responsibility of a child (something which should never ever happen) generally speaking we are just not overly concerned with minor details such as hygiene. The basic attitude is that it is just too much of a drag, who really cares if you are little dirty it won't kill ya.

    It's not just men, Helga. I think that often happens when one of the parents isn't that interested. When my husband split up with his first wife, their son went to live with her. She basically got her Mum to look after him all the time so she could go out drinking, then when her Mum died she dropped him off on my husband's doorstep with a bin liner bag with his clothes in and that was that. He didn't see her again for 5 years. We also have a neighbour whose son visits him for weekends and spends most of his time either causing chaos on the street because he's been sent outside to play by himself or in other people's houses. This man also has a child with his new wife and doesn't seem especially interested in her either. Weird. You'd think it'd be easier just not to have the child in the first place.

    Perhaps it is just while he is getting used to the situation and perhaps it will improve. He did only just move out and maybe he needs a little time to readjust, especially if he didn't take that active a role in your son's care when he was living at home. I guess you just need to keep an eye on things and if after a few months you find he's looking after the dog better than your son then you'll need to do something about it. I can understand why you're angry though. It'd make me angry too.
