to think I shouldn't need to remind my ex that it's bonfire night this weekend?

[workshy]

his weekend to have the kids and he's had a go at me that I didn't remind him that it's bonfire night this weekend

because Leeds city council is a bit strange, the council bonfire was tonight and he's missed it

queue two upset children and apparently it's all my fault

-because it's not been on the radio for weeks or anything???
and I'm oviously supposed to know what he has planned for his weekends???

ffs

Men!! YANBU to not remind him, but YA obviously BU to think he has a brain and can think for himself!

It's not for you to remind a grown man.

Don't let him palm off responsibility for your DCs being upset onto you, not that you sound like you're going to

It can creep up on you a bit quicker every year, but the relative concept of time passing can hardly be laid at your door

hehe love your MN name uglymush

Well, do you know he's a bit dumb like that? If you knew it was something that your children would have enjoyed, then you should have told him beforehand. I know I would have.

YANBU. I am imagining a certain type of man - takes no responsibility for things, blames others for his mistakes, generally sad excuse for an adult. Am I a million miles away??

Thanks agent

Why the fuck have they had it on the 4th though when the 5th is a Saturday??

I must admit I'd be a bit peeved as well if I missed it, it's hardly a logical date.

But it's the blaming it on you he's BU about.

Apparently the council don't want to have to pay double time for staff working at the event.... There is one at Alwoodley and one in Wakefield on Saturday that he could take them to Fireworks

And YANBU. What a dick!

council event at weekends means council staff get paid time and a half!

I have suggested events that they might like to go to before and been told to but out -it's his weekend so nothing to do with me

he took them last year with no prompting

how would I know if he was going or not?

Don't be forgetting to remind him what date Christmas Day's on this year worky

Maybe not, he'll only be accusing you of micromanaging him

well that happens to fall on my weekend so no need lol
