To not remind ex he said he would take the DC swimming

[Pantone363]

Even though they will be bloody disappointed?

He has form for promising treats (swimming, roller skating, cinema) and then not bothering or fobbing them off with another treat in the make believe future.

DC have gone to school excited that daddy is picking up from school and taking them swimming tonight (he has them tues evenings)

He hasn't text to say he's picking them up and he hasn't asked for their swming stuff. Swimming was promised in lieu of another treat which didn't happen at the weekend.

I could phone him and berate him enough that he might take them or I could leave it and let him tell them he forgot or is too busy (and then probably promise another day next week)

I text him and said kit etc wasn't my problem (he does actually have swimming kit at his). He replied and said he didn't think he could make school pick up but could take them later - but earlier than 5 if I drove them to swimming and as he hadn't arranged anything with me why hadn't I told the kids this morning they probably wouldn't be going I said no dice, he told them he would pick them up he had to pick them up. I got no reply and didn't get a phone call from the school so i'm guessing he got them!

Well done Pantone, it must have been really hard not to check.

He's an arse, especially trying to put the blame on you. I hope the kids aren't too disappointed.

Oh well done.

Well done For standing up to him and not playing ball

I have nothing useful to add, but what a monumental cock!

You handled it brilliantly IMO.
