Sit with him during bed time ritual and supervise the teeth thing. Yeah pricey if you don't. I bet he is having social issues because he is not brushing his teeth, kids won't want to be around the stinky breath.
We supervise morning and night at our house. It's not optional. He is left to his own devices at his house. No supervision whatsoever so no one to tell him to brush. We call him at night and try to remind him but sometimes we forget. We don't do it in the am. Honestly, we shouldn't have to parent over the phone because she is too lazy to. So frustrating.
That would totally p!ss me off. Ridiculous that she can't be bothered to ensure he brushes his teeth. She is about the worst mother ever - next to yours. No offense.

You are correct. On both accounts. Mine was worse. But yes, it's so frustrating. It totally pisses me off. Kids don't learn to brush their teeth on their own. They have to be taught. And it's not that hard. You start when they are babies. Right along with washing your hands and wiping your butt. Oh yeah, she didn't teach him to wipe either. Last summer I kept him all summer and I'd have to wash all his crappy underwear. I tried everything. It was when DH was gone all summer. I finally called him in one day, at the age of nine, showed him three pairs of crappy underwear and basically spanked him so he would remember it. I told him that every time I had to wash a pair of those underwear I was going to spank him again. Never had another problem. SS is just THERE. He's not actually being RAISED. He just exists.

You know what? I took bitching for WEEKS because I posted too much, too early, too this, too that. I got nasty pm's. I'm still getting them. You have been on the internet to know that typing in all caps is considered to be SCREAMING and is also considered to be RUDE. Lily calls out everyone else's posts. She bitches about ed constantly. I say one damn thing about the constant caps you crawl up my ass. I have every right to voice my opinion just like she has the right to voice hers. Why is it somehow okay for people to chew me out and you never once stood up for ME but now you're the message board police? Yeah, I get it.
NJN. The title is not in all caps. Only the word daily.
Thats for emphasis. Not screaming.

Typing in all capital letters is frowned upon; it's the equivalent of screaming. It's considered an aggressive way to post and it doesn't come off as being very friendly.
I put specific words in CAPS for emphasis all the time. One word in caps does not equal screaming.
I didn't even think about what was said about the caps till this morning when looking for the daily and noticed this one was not all caps.
I think NJN was just having a rough day. No biggie.
I do wish we could use the different fonts in the thread titles. Colors to.

This is so sad. How neglectful. She should be ashamed of herself.

It's annoying to the point that parenting is supposed to be a team. She is supposed to be instilling things in him and we are supposed to be supporting her. We simply can't parent over the phone. It's next to impossible. We are responsible for all his homework getting done, all his healthcare, all his everything. And yet he is with her M-F. Frustrating.

The Spotlight threads must be really annoying to people.
No kidding. All that screaming you do.
It's like the silent movies, having to read the words are deafening.
