DD's are 9 and 12.
Today, for example... (I know this sounds petty but if you search you'll see there's a history)
There's an agricultural show 50 miles away from us. Today is the last day. He is at it.
So, he had discussed me taking the DD's to the show, I'd said I'll see, busy week, hasn't happened.
So, DS took the girls last night on a big brother bonding session and they stayed over at exH. (DS's idea as I'd not had a proper break with exH not keeping them an evening this week due to show and also I had to take girls last weekend)
This morning got text from exH to say that he had spoken to the girls and they wanted to go to the show so he had written them both notes to get out of school early, sent the free tickets with DD1 and I should collect them at 12 from school.
Now, first off, it's my weekend with them, how dare he? Second off, DD1 has 2 birthday parties we've not got presents for yet and a fancy dress outfit to sort. Thirdly, I didn't agree to taking them out of school. fourthly, how fucking dare he and free tickets or not it's going to cost me in fuel and food and parking.
AND I texted back and said "you should have discussed with me. Assume you have sorted presents and cards for parties then as I will not have time this evening if at show"
He texted back "No I have not sorted presents and cards. This is your weekend, your responsibility"
And of course, the DD's want to go, to see the animals and see their Dad so I will have to go.
So, gimme strategies to stop this please
(and sorry it's long)
