So today was the toddlers birthday. Yesterday dp knew I wanted to get the house clean top to bottom as we had company today, blow up the toddlers inflatable present,wrap his gifts and blow up balloons. All this after getting 4 children into bed. So he says he is just nipping out and comes back nearly three hours later when it is mostly done.

Today he lay on the chair with his eyes closed leaving me to entertain ds and prep all the food for the family (both sides) he laid there for over an hour then offered to take dc for a nap. He stayed with him for another 2 and a half hours.

Then he went to pick up his friends, knowing that 20+ people would be arriving and waiting for him to put the bbq on he still took over an hour to do a ten min round trip.

Then he had bought the wrong type of coal, left them out in the rain and lost the firelighters. So he spent the next hour making a fire out of wood to hopefully put the coals on to cook the food on. I don't know what he was burning but the smell was atrocious so I took a deep breath and cooked the food on the grill. By the time he came in to see what was happening most people had been fed.

He then proceeded to sit outside with his friend while my sister and friend checked everyone was fed, passed out food to all the kids and I cooked. He did nothing.

Then he offered to help clean up, when he had dropped his friends back off, another ten min round trip which again took over an hour.

Am I being unreasonable or should I kick the self centred man child out.

Oh I asked him to put the tiddler to bed half an hour ago. He is still having a grand old town in his new ball pool!

Squids he will ho back to his mums regardless of how much notice I give him and then she will take on responsibility for him, do his house work, do the finances, arrange contact with his daughter (my dsd) and all he will have to do is arrange contact with our son (I won't deal with his mum).

He went from having ni responsibilities for himself at his mums and expected me to step into her place. Well I expected to have a relationship with a grown up. Who'd have thought it!

Thanks Smile

oh my poor lovely, I was there in your situation for far too long. Get rid, you can be so much better on your own than dragging this useless luggage. Do it for your own and your kids health and sanity. Onwards and upwards x
