True you must deal with this on a united front, but better than getting social services involved, I think a revision of custody, or visitation, would be more effective and less intrusive on their lives. Sending kids to bed without supper is outdated, and abusive in my opinion, that must not be tolerated, but I think you've made a good case for any judge to make a few changes in your court order, as the needs of the child must be met, and who cares how much pull ups cost? They need them so get them, period. I wish you much luck communicating with that hard head of an ex.
