DP's ex is kicking up a huge fuss over £10 this week. We are literally so broke we can't put gas in the meter so are relying on electric over/microwave and hot showers (not a huge deal I know)
We have given her £10 less than normal because we physically could not afford to giver her more. We did a carboot sale yesterday and their kids came along so she has rang dp shouting that she knows we made £130 at carboot...yes we did, towards our rent arrears. We sold stuff we did not even want to sell!
I am really really angry with her attitude because we are so accomodation with her normally. We have the kids MORE than 1/2 the week, she never feeds them before they come either (even when dropping them off at 11am they will arrive with empty tums)
Whenever she knows I am not at work she insists I collect the kids (do doesn't drive) and we spend an awful lot of money more when we have the kids at ours.
AIBU to think she is being completely out of order? We have the kids at her convenienece every single time and have cancelled plans at the last minute because she wants to go out herself or has forgotten to tell us about an extra shift etc.
I am starting to think we should lay down the law a little more, but things have been amicable (thanks to our being so accommodating) so far and I worry this could open a huge can of worms
