My ds's dad who, in the last 18 months has spent:

Around £10 on ds for each Christmas and possibly about the same for his birthday.

He pays me no maintenance at all. He recently bought (I say bought, he didnt buy it..he gave ds his gf's lad's old mobile phone) as her 5 year old got a new and improved one. I was thinking of getting ds one this year anyway as he will be moving up to senior school. I said that as it was his dad's idea, he could put the credit on it. Ds is really sensible with it surprisingly and hardly uses it. He started off with about £3 and the next week he asked his dad to top it up, which he did, with a fiver.

Two weeks later he had used his fiver and asked his dad to top it up. His gf butted in and said ds had a fiver on it the week before. No love, he didnt, it was 2 weeks before.

I pay for everything food, clothes, uniform, birthday parties, christmas etc. He has spent approx. £40 on ds in 18 months! Grrrrrrr. There's gonna be trouble if he doesn't top this ruddy phone up this weekend, how mean can one be?

Cant take him to CSA, he doesn't work anymore. (long story, he was ill, lost his job but actually he didn't lose it because he was ill, he lost it for gobbing off at the boss, seen it a dozen times before).

His gf does {cough} "voluntary" work.

My arse.

The worst father award goes to my ex. Wanker. He owes me £140 so far in maintenance since we split, he doesn't even bother to text or phone to ask how she is and even when we were together it was me that bought everything food wipes nappies milk clothes toys.

I bought her a ball yesterday from disney store and she loves it, her face lights up when I get it out for her to play with. Today I bought her some toddler pens to draw with and she spent ages scribbling and got upset when I put them away.

Its not like I'm asking for a million pounds from him, I bought her 2 things costing literally a fiver that have made her so happy and he can't even be bothered to spare a minute of his time to send a text asking how she is

I quite like tittyfucking twatfiddler - is that lowering the tone too far?

Anyway. Ex's sins extend far beyond what I can be arsed to post.

They include refusing to pay maintenance as he is a "free spirit" (Yes, thats a direct quote), forgetting her birthday last year (and sending her an Easter egg as a present), and failing to tell dd or myself that his gf was having a baby until the day before she gave birth (and that was only because he couldn't come and pick dd up as arranged).

I just may win this.
Ds' father has not seen him since just before his 1st birthday. He'll be 6 in 12 days.
No maintenance, no presents, no cards, nothing.
It's like Ds doesn't exist for him anymore.

His fucking loss. Cock bandit.

Dh's father to dh, the day before dh was due to have chemotherapy

'Have a nice day tomorrow'

Yeh! Nice one. The same man who, in the year after dh was diagnosed with testicular cancer phoned him 3 times. Never saw him.
