Marie,

He actually is a drunk and abusive to the kids in a variety of ways.

He's had supervised visits and my illustrious state believes giving abusers chance after chance to damage their kids makes sense.

Child protective services has investigated him but not found his abuse of the kids to meet the legal level of neglect - this includes having driven drunk w them and being caught doing so.

So my concern is thathis carelessness about things like sleep and food and not having blankets for them to cover up with to sleep with (they slept in their coats) is just the tip of the iceberg

And downtime is also fine and good but so is being able to do their regularly scheduled events and go to bday parties or playdates. He sees "his time" as his that and doesn't care a bit about the kids wants or needs and it sucks.
