The title suggests it all but seriously is there something I can do about this?
Ex has basically told my daughter Santa is not real and that parents wrap presents.
My daughter is devastated by the news and I am attempting to repair the damage.
Ex also takes it upon herself to wax my daughters eyebrows even though my daughter tells her it hurts and doesn't want it and I've told her it hurts her and I don't want it.
Any advice?

Pick your battles. This isn't one worth having... At present do you have parenting orders pertaining to the child?

But seriously, this is not one worth spending money on.... Best you can do is write to mum and tell mum about your concerns... Even then, is it a fight worth starting? probably not...

Mate no child gets the childhood, their parents want for them... Sadly, all you can do is put band aids on the damage... In my experience, asking the ex to stop doing this or that only ends up with her doing it more, just to get to me.... So I don't ask and the kids don't get caught up in the debacle.
