To think since he does the pick up every single fucking thursday

[fluffythevampirestabber]

then he should know what time it is?

(And disclaimer even if you all tell me IABU I'm going to say I'm not so you can all fuck the fuck off before you even start your YABU okay?? )

ExH picks DD2 up every Thursday since I have uni classes til 5.15 and it takes me til 6.30 to get to his to pick her up. He also gives her her tea, isn't he fantastic and father of the fucking year?

Anyway, I digress, every single fucking Thursday morning since uni went back (this is the 4th week) I get a text "What time is DD2 pick up today?"

Usually I tell him (since I have a fucking calendar and write down who does what when and I am interested in my kids and ask them about their days).

Today I replied "I have no idea. You do Thursday pick up. When do you usually get her?"

And he replied "Isn't it 4 like every other week?"

Me "How would I know? Thursday pick ups are your responsibility. Suggest you phone the school"

So, AIBU? And didn't I do well not to tell him to fuck off and get organised?

It can be a bit like dependency - as you do it he relies on you to do it - stop doing it and he may flounder for a week or two but then will have to take on the responsibilty himself.

Exactly what the toyboyfuckbuddy said Ivy

I think you should beg to have him back

You are missing out

are you thick or what ?

Sorry

Exactly what the friend said

Obviously AF I am thick as mince.

Please do feel free to express your opinion on my other thread (the link is up a bit)

yanbu.

(BTW AF I think hope you're joking as that's how I've taken it )

AF wants you to take him back so that she can then tell you to leave him - isn't that the plot?

ivy, you got me

fluffy, YABFU to have dumped him already

< spoiling my fun >

[hgrin]

He honestly doesn't get it you know. And I lived so long with it I got sucked into his perception and ended up thinking it was me was wrong. All. The. Time.

Well, I'm sorry that I already left The Bastard so you all couldn't shout

Leave the Bastard.

fluffy - mine takes my dc to swimming on the saturday he has her - I then pick up from swimming afterwards - simple plan. On a saturday he takes her to the same pool each time and it has never been at another pool (dc does swim at other times at other venues but he never ever takes dc)

One saturday dc planned for her dad to pick her up from swimming. At the time she finished (so she needs to get showered and changed now takes about 10-15 minutes) the ex phones dead on the dot of her finishing her session and asks if he is at the correct pool

Does get complicated doesn't it..?

Ivy

The thing that scares me about these blokes is that they are now free to be 'caught' by some unsuspecting female - they should have their foreheads tattooed...

what is scarey

Is he doesn't even realise how stupid a question it is...? On two counts

dd1 says

never underestimate the stupidity of some people....

Oh but Fluffy, I want to know if he mentioned anything about the parents' evening.

Hearing about him and his ineptitude just makes me appreciate my DP, even after I've been fuming about something he's done.

Not a bloody word TheGhostOfMrsWembley

Typical, bloody typical! I wanted to know how he planned to twist the situation so he didn't look as stupid as he must know he did.

Or does he?

Men! Hmph!
