My thread is a bit further down www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/1644093-To-think-this-is-not-ok-to-say-and-i-shoudnt-let-it-go

He has dropped over some presents for the kids along with this present for me and an apology

I'm torn. do I keep, give back, give away or exchange?

He is your ex. Make up your mind what sort of relationship you are going to have and stick to it, you will confuse your children as well as most of MN.
I'd give it back with a polite thanks but no thanks.

Well at least it wasn't a beard trimmer.

Keep it as long as you resolutely won't feel obliged to be nice to him because of it

Sparkling :o lmao

Are you likely to hear "But I bought you a kindle..." every time you say or do something he doesn't like, or if you say no to getting back together?

The muff comment was revolting. And he is your ex. He sounds a bit of a dick, to be honest. Do you want to be with him?

Tricky. I'd be tempted to keep the Kindle though. Drop him a note saying how much you and your manky hairy muff will enjoy downloading a bit of erotica on it on the grounds that it's so much nicer than bad sex with a gobshite. Don't forget to wish him a nice life!

Sorry, couldn't resist. I would be tempted to keep it as an apology for stupid comment and say you are evens.

No chance of getting back together. Not from my side anyway.
Sparklingbrook now that would be taking the piss

forgot to put the

Give it back otherwise you will never hear the end of how he gave you a kindle and all he got in return was your hairy muff.

Too many

exchange it for an epilator.

and next time, insist he brings you electrical goods before you do the deed. then you can work out what you want to offer.

Agree, a shag for a kindle is pricing yourself low.
Not even a kindle Fire?

Keep it! I would any way.

I see it more as offensive stupid comment=Kindle Nebulous. It is an apology gift for being an arse.

Oh yes It's a fire. Only the best for this hairy muff dahling!

Don't manipulative abusers do this? Create upset and hurt, then give a present and an apology? Every time?

You are giving him mix messages. Give it back and say last night was a mistake i was drunk and do not want a relationship with you.

You are just being crule.

You need to set and stick with boundries

Boundaries need to be set!

In all seriousness - I personally would give it back. You don't want him, then don't lead him on by accepting gifts!

Ex's don't give ex's gifts without a reason!

If you do keep the kindle make sure you download some suitable books. There are lots and lots to choose from.

So the OP can have sex with him, insult his mother and still be seen as the victim?

Ah but she didn't insult his mother, she insulted her cooking. Totally different
