dds (7 and 9) report that when they go visit him he routinely goes off to sleep in the afternoon, leaving them watching tv.
ok, so he there...and they old enough to entertain themselves... but this is the limited day time alternate weekend contact he has with them - and he is always complaining he doesnt see them enough?
but to cap it all, this sunday he went off to sleep leaving DD 10 supervising oldest ds 13 who has severe learning difficulties and is autistic - nothing happened this time but he could have escaped, climbed into cupboards for food etc.
and DD was bored watching thomas tank engine (he functions at much younger age) over and over - she said it played 3 times thru so was at least one hour... he "was in the bedroom lights off door closed". exP hadnt made sure she was entertained on computer or whatever - plus he had promised to take them both out and didnt in the end.
is unreasonable to expect him to make more effort? to stay awake? to actively supervise ds? (is ok for few minutes - i might say to dd "can you watch him a sec while i cook this food". but not disappear off to sleep...
