What's a girl to do?

Hi Everyone,
I hope I am not invading where I should not, but another boardie said I should come to all of you single Mom's for advice.

What kind of "plans" is he making?
Just my two cents....I am sure the others will chime in before long...
Thanks Cat,
Yeah he is making dinner/lunch plans.
What you brought up was similar with my exGf's situation where I disagreed with her parenting of her two adult children.
I struggled with my feelings because that was between her and her children.
I have to add to my original answer and say that although I agree with how you feel, I also agree with Mark in that you can't really tell him how to parent.
Hi Mark,
Interesting stand.
I still think it is between your BF and his ex.
I hear what you are saying.
I see two sides or two issues with this.
1) I think that it is a very good thing when a dad treats his exw and kids with respect and it is a good relationship/situation.
But, with that said, I see a different issue from the Mother's Day/Holiday thing:
2) A man with little kids and an exwife with all of those problems is always going to be in that state of messiness - even when the kids grow older - is this what you really want?
Before you say anything else to him, I think you should take some time to yourself to really think about the situation - and either you support him unconditionally without questions - or you walk away. Only you can decide what you want to bring into your life.
You do have good advice and opinions so far. I do feel very sorry for those kids. That must be hard on them and their dad.
Oh, the permission thing is like if I can give them a gift or let them borrower my cell phone to text on.
I understand about not wanting unsolicited parenting advice.
