My ex husband just had the children for his summer access visit.
I picked the girls up yesterday at noon, I felt like a child at Christmas seeing them again even tho it had only been a couple of days.
At the exchange he was rather chatty.
He made a comment that his mom had told him it's ok to leave a 12 year old and a 9 year old unsupervised for short periods of time.
I was puzzled but didn't push the issue further as I'm never sure if he's itching for a fight or quite what he's doing.
Later last evening the girls and I were sitting around cuddling, my oldest daughter that had turned 12 on August 17th made a comment.
It was Daddy left us alone for 5 hours while he took his girlfriend into the city.
I was stunned!!!
He didn't ask them if he wanted to go he told them they were staying behind.
They were told to watch tv and drink pop.
Ive never left the girls unsupervised before as they have a horrible habit of fighting like crazy.
They didn't sit and watch tv however they went on the trampoline, went to the pond and caught frogs, and checked around the old barn for mice.
Nothing bad happened. Thank god!!!
Am I foolish to presume tho that during his access he should spend time with them rather than leaving them alone?
He lives in the country, his house phone has been cut off, the closest neighbor is roughly 10 minutes away.
The girls have cell phones however the service at his place is awful.
I would really love peoples opinions on this.
