To think if you're invited to spend the day with your children

[Mosman]

At your ex wife's house you shouldn't spend the day text fucking twats you've met on plenty of fish especially since that's the site you conducted all your seedy affairs from and pushes my buttons.
Merry fucking Christmas

The texter is the twat, not the textee.

Nah they are both twats

Make a promise to yourself and don't invite him again.

Then smile because you will never have to go through it again.

Yanbu, this is my worry this year. Exdp asked to stay over even though he could have easily driven over this morning. If he plans to spend the day texting someone who has already got their own family then he can bloody well leave .

OP your ex'D'P never fails to amaze.

Have a and make him do all the clearing up - will keep his hands busy.

Love it ... Great idea ... I already said very discretely and quietly in his shell like if that's what he's going to do he can piss off and then he responds so picking a fight making sure all the kids hear to try and make me look bad.

Like another poster said, smile sweetly, this is the last time. He can't suddenly stop being a twat and you can remind yourself you are well out of it.

Neither should you be a nasty impatient twat that shouts and bitches every time the kids make noise or do something a bit loud and are not perfectly behaved. But doesn't stop some. Grrrrrrr

It's once a year ... Pass the wine lol

Not enough wine on the planet. Or perhaps it's best to pass the wine to him - then when he passes out or falls asleep it'll be quiet.

To quote the not often seen now Hully Gully .... ' Kill Him '

mind his phone doesn't get dropped in the washing up bowl full of hot soapy water.... ooops

or get chucked out with the wrapping paper.... the phone or him!!

Life is too short for putting up with this nonsense, tell him he isn't welcome today and kick him out.

You are not going to turn a twat in to a good Dad and all round reasonable person in one day. Christmas miracles only happen in films that I have been watching on a loop since the Christmas channels started up again, not real life.

God last time I calmly asked him to leave all hell broke loose.
He loudly makes a scene and upsets the kids who then think I've started it all, it's really difficult tbh.

Right there with you Mosman. Maybe you should've come here instead. LOL

Get the kids to hide it in the giftwrap mountain. Its a game. A million points if they put it on silen before they hide it.

ask yourself, why did i set myself up for pain? and don't do it again.

god knows why I was stupid enough to agree to it - maybe because the DCs really wanted him here. I just know I won't be repeating it.

Same Trig

nicename great idea!

Ended up kicking him out at 10.30 at night he slept on her sofa ... God knows where he's sleeping tonight but it sure as hell won't be my house

The benefit of someone being an ex is that you no longer have to put up with their crap on christmas day (or any day).
