[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your kids are tweens and are refusing to go with him.  Do you have a temporary custody order?  I would not force them to go at all.  Your job is to validate their feelings.  Is your ex prepared to force them into his car?  Let him take care of his relationship or lack of relationship with his own kids.  You just make them available, not force.  This is what I did.  In my situation, when ex showed up at events, they refused to talk to him.  When he approached them, they told him to go away.  They are in therapy; let the therapist work with them on voicing their needs and wants and setting boundaries.

Sounds like you encouraged the behavior and set him up to fail as a parent.  You give them consequences for treating their dad that way. It’s unacceptable to tell him to go away.  You need parenting help for your poor parenting.  What kind of parent does that and allows their kids to behave that way?   You are the one hurting them.  [/quote]
You seem to be unaware that children can in fact form their own opinions independently of their parents.  [/quote]

It’s rarely independent and they want to please what ever parent they live with. [/quote]
