This is totally irrelevant to the OP's question.
OP, the most important thing you can do here is get a lawyer and go back to court and get a more specific visitation schedule. That way you and your ex will both know when to expect him for visitation, you can make arrangements in advance and you don't have to cancel plans. Also, the NCP will have guaranteed visitation dates which he and the children can look forward to.
well that naked picture thing is a little sketchy, i dont think i would be too happy about that either.
but the other things as far as their safety it all sounds minor, they are boys and they will get hurt. My two year old (girl) just took her first tumble down a few steps and had to go to the ER, both myself and her father were there with her when it happened.
i know you feel like you are being walked all over but you arent. these are his children too and you have to try to put yourself in his shoes.

Heh, the other day while I was trying to referee an argument between my oldest son and stepdaughter, my 18 month old figured out how to open the sliding glass door, walk out into the backyard and climb up into the clubhouse. When I found him, he was sitting in a chair up there acting as though this is exactly where I should have expected him to be.

casa said:*whew* my 5 yr old would be devastated to learn that my Cal King bed is not...a trampoline afterall.
LOL We have pretty low ceilings, and my bed is one of those that's VERY tall - I'm 5'7" and my feet don't even come close to touching the floor when I'm sitting on the edge of it - my 5 year old learned very quickly that the bed is not a trampoline when she nearly put her head through the ceiling.
Of course, that's why her bed is simply a mattress/springs on the floor instead of on a bedframe, I got VERY tired of reassembling the bed every night.

In the picture his package was very viewable as were the boys. They were all standing up with the bubbles over their head. I'm sure his wife knows he sent the picture as she must have taken it. I also know his mother knows as well as she said she thought it was cute. Now that is wierd. It did make me laugh when I saw the picture (it was the first picture in the photo album). I thought what was he trying to do. Make me think I was missing something. Definitely not the case. There is plenty of that out there. I do have this with all my case items just in case he ever tries to take me to court.
As for children getting hurt. Yes this does happen. It has happened in my care as well. However, I let them know what is appropriate and what is not. Jumping up and down on a Cal king bed is one thing but jumping from the top of a bunk bed to the floor is another. At my house, when they touch electrical plugs they go to time out. I do not take a picture of it or allow them to plug everything in the house. His response to everything is, "Oh I thought you let them do that." I thought yeah I'm going to let my sons stick their fingers into an electrical socket and I'm going to let them belly flop from the top of a bunk bed on to the floor so they can break a few bones. The boys also know that I do not allow them in the car with out getting into their carseats. By the way in our state, it is a LAW until they are 5 years old and 60 lbs they have to be in a carseat. His mom has a set of carseats at her house for his use. He also gets into at fault car accidents a minimum of twice a year. In fact, his driver's license has been suspended several times.
I hear what everyone is saying though. I am definitely not trying to control him cause I could care less what he does. But I guess maybe I am being overprotected of the boys. Which is funny because everyone says I am too laid back with them.
