That must have been hard planet. Showing her you are her father with love is the main thing and you did that.
S4 has been a little like this in regards to not doing what he is told. Especially brushing teeth and washing hands etc.
It is difficult because you don't know what is going on while your not there, you are missing pieces of the puzzle. I don't know how much W is getting him to do. She is the sort of person to let him off with it if it makes life easier every now and again.
As a parent I can't let him off and at the same time I can't punish him too harshly if it's something his mother lets him do.
I decided quite recently that the kids will have certain rules while with me that will be followed through whether W does it or not. They play up from time to time but having a stable routine is important now more than ever.
If he doesn't brush his teeth he doesn't get his android tablet to play with before bed and so on.
