christmas presents

Unread post by santa fe » Wed Dec 04, 2013 2:33 pm

HI
My little girl is 7 and doesn't want to see me ( not my doing) and she is "Looked after"

Now I sent her a letter asking her what she wants for Christmas but since then I have had a meeting with managers of the IRO and the social worker and I asked about Christmas presents and they just written down a bog standard list. ( this was several weeks ago)
I have now e mailed then asking for then to find out what my little girl actually wants for Christmas and not the list they gave me.
Can I demand they do as I have asked?
( we do not see eye to eye as I complain and don't take NO for an answer)
Thanks

I personally don't think there is anything wrong with you asking what your daughter would like off santa. that's your right as her mum, keep asking. emails and phone calls even visit the offices if you can. Was the list a bog standard ideas for 7 year old girls? I feel for you xx

yes it was for a girl, I will make more of a fuss now, they really do hate me but I don't give a monkeys because everything I do can be backed up and proved.
even at court in the hearings my barrister said if they say jump you ask them how high and I said I will tell them to duck off I pay their salary as the are public servants and boy do they know that cos I have told them so.
Ps I am dad

:evil:
Is there any one else with thoughts on this subject as the manager at the SS is refusing to ask my little girl what she wants from father Christmas and is sticking to the you have the standard list for girls.
I am steaming but want advice before I go metal at them
Thanks

I think you should just buy what you know your child would like. Social services would be reluctant to ask your child, just in case she looks forward to having something she really wants, and the gift does not turn up. (It happens a lot, ) I'm sure whatever you send, will be cherished by her as she will know it is from you.Getting angry and distressed will not help your cause in any way.
