[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to talk to your ex and say Larlo needs to eat at 7 PM.  Dad isn't really a Dad and just a favorite uncle and this is an issue when he's only a visitor in Dad's home vs. a parent.  Maybe you should "allow" Dad to be a real parent.  It sounds like you are restricting time with Dad and then acting upset that Dad isn't a Dad.  That's on you.  Dad doesn't do "child care" because you restrict his access.  Its one night a week.  Dad offers, your kid is a brat and prefers video games, says no and knows you will feed him later.  So, other option is to say eat at Dad's or no dinner when you get home.[/quote]

I don't restrict anything, there is no set custody and child is free to be at Dad's whenever they both want it. Dad doesn't want to have him overnight because he "only has one bed and would have to sleep on the couch". It's a different story of how dad doesn't care to parent. [/quote]

Would you like to have dinner with the person you described?  What if you were forced?  Hungry yet?[/quote]

Kids should have relationships with their parents.  When one parent speaks poorly, kids here it and behave to please the parent they live with.  Dad can get kid an air mattress.  Kid is too busy with video games.  That is normal at that age.  [/quote]
