[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] He was a bit more engaged even a few months ago and spent about twice as much time in the 3 visits. He also seems to be gaining weight rapidly, no idea what is up with that. If he's depressed or something, [b]too bad[/b], but the Disney dad path of least resistance parenting is not ok. If they act up at all he will call and say he is bringing them back. He used to manage a bit better.  [/quote]

Unfortunately, you can't just write him off like that. You need to know what is going on with him because it is affecting the girls. You don't necessarily need to be the one to talk to him about it if you think it's going to blow up, but maybe your lawyer could talk to his about you concerns. Concerns, not state of being pissed off at him, both because that's not his problem and because you said that he will do the opposite of whatever rules you lay down.

Find out what has changed and see if he can change it himself or if he needs to get help.

Also, talk to the girls about health, not weight. If they see eating well and exercising as things you do to take care of yourself and feel good, they are much more likely to do it when you're not around and when you are. Don't make their weight the goal; make their habits the goal.[/quote]
