i'm a single mother. my ex-husband refuses to take any responsibility in my son's upbringing. he's a fantasy dad. every time my son comes home from his dad's house, i have to re-program him. my son also acts up before he goes to his dad's house because he knows that i can't enforce discipline on the weekend when he's with his dad. it is very difficult to raise my son when i have his dad undermining my every move. there is just no consistantcy in his life. i'm at a total loss as how to raise my son with his dad in the equation, messing it all up.

as a parenting councellor i have to give you the following suggestion . you have to sit down and camly talk to your ex-husband about the issue . meet at yours or his house as such linien should not be washed in public . even if your ex-husband dosen't keep his cool you should . you should begin with a discussion of 'our son' after all respect the fact that he is the boys father . i often get mums who tell mr 'i gave birth to him , he was in my stomach for nine months erc ' let me emphasise that it is all crap. the boy has a father and both you and he should respect that . removing or completely cutting ties with his dad is thus not the solution ! alk to your son on the day he gets back on one of the stay over occasions and see what he and his dad do together . ask what he enjoyed and what they talked about . remember you are not being a gossip or an evesdrop . you are merely enquiring about it . tell your ex-husband in a tactful and concise way of whats going wrong . shell some problems that you face parenting and tell him to talk to your son on these issues . don't give up believe that every problem has a solution and i wish you all the best .
