is it me or is my children dad weird? I asked if he could get them the weekend so I can have a little fun.. (we’re not together and I barely go out, I’m always with my children) I said I’ll make food for them so they can have something to eat or whatever.. he tells me that I need to have clothes with them and if they don’t have clothes with them, he’s not going to get them.. ( I’m a single mother, struggling to make ends meet, I don’t get child support nor do I ask him for help because when I do, he never has it or he has something to do) when I do send clothes, I never get them back and he always say he doesn’t have them

No it is not you. i have known several friends in similar situations as you and when the kids spend time with the other parent ... clothes and items seemingly disappear and custodial parents are hesitant to send extra clothes or any  toys or items that may disappear. 

 I am not sure what answer.......... there is one friend who has other parent initial an inventory sheet of items  to say "this is what the kids left with and what they should bring home" . Lucky her ex was ok with it and became responsible to return items even "found" previous lost items.   Most exes would feel insulted by this method.
