never get taken to the doctor or the dentist? This chic's daughter has been walking around for months with an absess on her gum that is oozing puss and her son needs medication for ADHD and she will not tkae them to the doctor. Her exhusband does not have insurance available to him at a reasonable cost so the kids are on medical assistance through the state the father lives in. The mother only lives an hour from the state where the kids have insurance coverage. It would cost her $0 to bring them to the doctor and/or dentist. She moved out of state 2 years ago. Since then she will not bring them an hour away to get medical care, but threatens constantly to take the dad to court over everything. She comes to the state to party, shop and for her medical appointments, but not her kids. She spends money on her cosmetic surgery yet her kids are suffering. The exhusband has a new family and other children he's obligated to support. The exwife also makes more money & owns a business. Opinions?

God bless you all for taking the time to answer this and give me your opinions. I needed to know whether or not I was overreacting.

This was just get opinions. If I were trying to make anyone look bad I would have posted who I was talking about. This is not a case of jealousy whatsoever and I am certainly not a busy body. If I had time to do things for these kids myself I would, but I am too busy making sure my children are taken care of and healthy. This is a case of me not putting this woman's name and business out among people that actually know her and that is why I came to this forum. That is what it is here for. I care about these kids and that is why I asked.

Firstly, the children come first no matter what! So yes, I think it's wrong to spend money on cosmetic surgery when the children are in need. Secondly, not taking children to the doctor or dentist is tantamount to child abuse!

Maybe they are with the wrong parent. Sounds to me like the mother doesn't care for what should be the most important thing in her life, THE CHILDREN!!! How can any woman call herself a mother when she puts her own needs before her kids' needs. I am a mom and my son comes first no matter what. I would walk through fire for him. He has made my life worth living. Every day is a happy day because of him. This woman doesn't deserve children!

Even though the ex has a new family and other children that he is obligated to they are still his children...If those children are being medically declined the attention they need, he needs to step up and be a man and take that mother to court and prove so.. He helped make the children just because he moved on he still needs to protect them...if he sits back and does nothing he is no better than she is..

Her children should be taken away. It is sad how many self obsessed people are parents. They THINK they love their children. They SAY they love their children, but their actions speak far louder than their words. They love only themselves. Saddest of all is that this generation of unwanted children will soon be raising the next generation. It is truly the end of the world as we know it and unfortunately we here in the USA seem to be leading the march into hell. I deal with people like this all the time and all they do is complain about their children. Truth is their children don't stand much of a chance because their parents aren't fit to raise dogs. All I know to do is be kind to the children and help them in all ways possible. Stay as far away as possible from the mother. I hate to even use the word mother in describing people like this, they don't deserve it.

She is wrong ... wrong...wrong!!!! If you know the dad personally .. you need to notify him of her abuse...cause that is what is ....abuse!!!! Abuse is not just physical or verbal.... what she is doing by not taking care of her childrens well being is wrong....all children need good health and dental care while they are still growing. Try talking to her if she is your friend....and if she still puts herself before her children...try contacting the father and notifying him of the situation. Apparently this woman has no mother skills at all and she does not care for her children like she should. Sounds to me like she is using the kids as a pawn towards the father being that he has a new family. Friend or no friend...kids come first and I would report her to CPS if all else fails.

That's medical neglect and selfish. This just goes to show any female can give birth and be a mother. A real woman gives birth, takes care of her kids and earns the title of MOMMY!

No it is not right.If it is that important to you,you may want to talk to the father to find out is there any action that can be taken ageist her.But if they are together,he should be telling her about what she is doing.If not,he may want to contact the proper authorities to Lodge a complaint.

she is for sure, self centered and WRONG!! those poor children that makes me so sad. it would be different if they were provided for in every aspect of their little lives.:( I hope you tell her your opinion of things, even if it costs your friendship ( if you have one)
the children are much more important.
