After the directions hearing where my ex slated me for half an hour on how I can't possible look after my own daughter and her sister who's disabled I was thinking about doing a Parents training course or classes.
Now I can fully take care of both Girls needs and it's not a problem at all I've raised her 1st daughter who's not my own for 5 years since she was born who is also disabled and incontinent. I looked after my daughter for 4 weeks full time and took over night feeds ect and got her into a routine just before all contact was stopped.
The courts made a meal of my step daughters disability and questioned my ability to look after both girls all the way through the hearing, now don't get me wrong it is [censored] hard work as you have to change my step daughters nappy 5 times to my daughters 1 due to her incontinence and its like looking after 5 kids sometimes which I did when my ex went out drinking and was to spannered the next day to take care of them.
It also got mentioned in the court directions papers that they think I may need parental classes due to my ex saying I didn't have a clue how to look after the girls so I'd like to jump the gun and do a parental course or classes.
I was wondering if anyone knows of any courses or classes I could attend and that will be certified by the courts as I want to do everything to prove I can take care of the girls and I may learn new tips on the way.
Many thanks in advance

Ah good plan never thought of that my mum actually runs one 🙂
thanks slim just reminded me ,
I know it's a little different but it's just reminded me I wanted to do an updated first aid course I am first aider at work but I am sure when my wife was pregnant they were running courses for people with children will look it up , something like that is money well spent,

As it happens I've booked myself on a couple of sure start courses as the centre is next door to my house.........bonus! 🙂
