Not giving kids meds
      #787323 - 06/25/12 07:47 AM

Hi all, I've been haunting the forums for a while, but this is my first post. A little background: we've been divorced for a little over 2 yrs. We have 2 kids, d7, s5. I have sole physical and we have joint legal. We are in Indiana.

Due to some things that happened during the divorce and issues my ex had, per our decree he has a 3 hr mid-week time with the kids, and 6 hrs on Saturday or Sunday. We have not been following the decree, we've been doing every other weekend along with the mid-week time for 1 1/2 yrs.

My issue is this: our daughter is diagnosed ADD, and our son is recently diagnosed ADHD. My ex is absolutely against medicating, but I have put both on meds. They are doing excellent, no side effects whatsoever. My ex conveniently "forgets" to give the kids their meds at least 75% of the time. Our s5 is also on allergy meds because he kept getting ear infections, since starting the meds he hasn't had a single one. My ex is ADHD himself but refuses to medicate, he says it's coddling the kids to put them on meds. He does not come to any of the medical appointments, refuses to speak to the doctor about the meds. He doesn't attend parent/teacher conferences.
This past weekend was his weekend, and he didn't give either kiddo a single med, not even allergy meds. He is supposed to be taking them for vacation to his gf's in Seattle WA next week. Due to the constant skipping of meds, and especially forgetting even the allergy meds, I'm not sure that is such a good idea. I know I'm upset about this and need some advice. According to him it's my fault he forgot because they shouldn't be on meds at all. Would I be going overboard by saying no to this or should I let him take them?
