    It's the type of thing my KH would do. He would ask when they were free and I'd say anytime but not Wednesday, then he'd say Wednesday was the only day he could have them and make me out to be some b1tch from hell banning him from seeing the boys. In reality he had no intention of taking them out at all, and just liked to get me annoyed :mad:

    I gave him the list of school holidays up to them going back to school in September and said I've no plans other than the second week of summer 2 of the girls are away with church for 4 days so it might be nice for him to take the boys that week and for him to let meknow ASAP when he wans them and I still get 'told' less than 48 hours before.. what am I supposed to do never make plans on the off chance he can be bothered? I never told him about my plans because he would have done the same Becles said that was the only time he could have them! I did say we could drop the girls with him Wednesday about 4:30 so they could have tea and he said he wouldn't be back with the boys then so he does actually mean leave my girls with his gf from first thing in the morning until quite late! Cheeky git!

    And so are KH's.. gggrr

    Apparently I am 'unreasonable' and 'a b!tch' because I have planned something with the children on Tuesday (BBQ) and my family is coming round an OH's family are doing 100 mile drive to come! and Wednesday (taking girls ice skating) and he wants them to spend the day with his girlfriend Wednesday.. not just a couple of hours ALL day.. How very dare I plan things for my children when he was given a list of the holiday dates 3 weeks ago and decided today he wants them Wednesday.. He can bog off.. I want more notice. He has been told he can have them anytime between Friday and next Tuesday now (he can't have them Thursday like he usually would as he has other far more important plans!) Let's see if he actually bothers...

    He is having the boys overnight Tuesday to take them paintballing Wednesday but picking them up at 8pm Tuesday (by which time the girls will be in bed!) then leaving early.. and I am unpleasant things because I said no to the girls going.. if he was spending the day with them then I'd possibly reschedule the skating until Thursday.. but he isn't and I don't see why I should alter my plans so some randomer can spend a whole day with my girls.. if she wants children she should have had her own (juvenile moment lol) I can imagine what he would say if I said 'they are spending a whole day just with OH'.. He'd have a right tantrum!!

    Anyhoo.. he is supposed to be ringing me later.. I might not answer the phone lol

    Do they all come out with crap like this or am I just really lucky?!

    No mine does it too :( Well not exactly that lol but equally annoying stuff.

    There's a reason why they are exes :rotfl:

    We've had a BBQ it was very nice :D

    Mines an ex because he is nothing but a nasty bully who couldn't keep his c0ck in his pants! I know exactly why he is an ex.. I didn't think he would ever be a tool about seeing the children or that he hated them as much as he obviously does! :(

    I started "accidentally" telling him the wrong day we were busy. He'd ask what days he could have them and I'd say any time but not Tuesday. He'd then ring and ask if he could have them on Tuesday and I'd say it was fine. He'd then say "are you sure, because I thought they were going to a party" and I'd say "that's on Thursday. Did I say Tuesday to you? Oh how silly of me" ;)

    He stopped playing that game as it meant he either had to have them, or he would have to ring back and cancel. Usually the latter.

    Morning

    Hope you manage to get some nappies today. I think all the shops are open as normal today.

    Off to my parents for the day. Brother and family are visiting.

    We made a simnel cake last night to take but it needs the marzipan on. Chartotte has asked me about twenty seven times now if it's time to put the marzipan balls on yet :rotfl:

    Hope everyone has a good day xx

    I'm sure people have been talking about one coming up soon but there's generally not anything in it that I want so I haven't paid attention. Possibly in a week or two?
