My ex has taken our dd who is 2 to a museum for the day. He mentioned yesterday that he was going to introduce her to the woman he is seeing.
He picked her up at 1 this afternoon and it takes roughly an hour to get there on the tube. I asked what time he'd bring her back and he answered 'dunno it closes at 5'. I checked and it closes at 5.50 so tried to guess what time they'd get back. He has form for not being able to give times when having her. So I just asked him to text me when they were on their way back.
I text him at 18:30 to ask if he knew what time they'd be back and he hasn't been online to read it which I get as he could be on the tube. I've called since then and it just says this phone is unavailable.
I'm sat here really worried as I have no idea where she is and when she'll be back. Maybe I'm being pfb please be gentle with me if you think so.
I've just been thinking how long do I leave it? And what do I do when that time comes?
He's on the birth certificate and had never not returned her before but has form for lateness.

Really hope she's back home with you now and he had a bloody good reason for keeping her out so late and not being in contact.

ValancyJane · 25/03/2016 21:40

Just read this, hoping she's back and you've just been busy getting her to sleep!

BatteryOperatedBoyfriend · 25/03/2016 21:41

I hope all is all OK OP

KenAdams · 25/03/2016 21:42

Hope she's back now OP

BumWad · 25/03/2016 21:42

Hope she's back safe

MrsWhirling · 25/03/2016 21:43

What a selfish thing to do. Hope she's back soon ((HUG))

NeedACleverNN · 25/03/2016 21:43

Is it possible she fell asleep at this new gfs house and thought I'll leave her sleep and bring her home in the morning?

No way acceptable

PennyHasNoSurname · 25/03/2016 21:43

He didnt even take a stroller?? Thats mad to expect a 2yo to walk around a Museum all afternoon without chance if a buggy to sit in.

AStreetcarNamedBob · 25/03/2016 21:44

Maybe you should phone 101 OP if you haven't already. Hand holding!

Beahun · 25/03/2016 21:45

Just hope everything is ok at your end. Very worried for your DD. Your ex doesn't sound like a responsible father.Hope she is back safe very soon.

Baconyum · 25/03/2016 21:46

Another saying my ex used to pull this crap. I stopped contact until we went to court and got a contact order. He expected it to go his way as he'd paid a lot of money for a SHL and I was on legal aid...it didn't!

Most judges recognise behaviour like this is simply a way of exerting control.

Hope all is well for now.

NFmama · 25/03/2016 21:46

Another hand holding, hope your little one is home safe and in bed. I'm sure she is absolutely fine but what a dickhead for putting you through this Hmm

FeralBeryl · 25/03/2016 21:49

Really hope you're away putting her to bed!
Glad you've told his sisters too, I'd ring his parents as well.
If by any chance she isn't back, I would certainly not hesitate to call 111.
What an absolute arsehole Angry he'll probably have rolled home all sulky because you're concerned, done the 'she's MY child too' speech, and his battery will have gone.
Take care.

Shakey15000 · 25/03/2016 21:50

What a twat. Sad

Friendlystories · 25/03/2016 21:52

Another one holding your hand OP, really hope she's home now and all is well, absolutely disgusted at your ex on your behalf Flowers

backwardpossom · 25/03/2016 21:54

Hope she's home safe and sound, OP Flowers

ForeverLivingMyArse · 25/03/2016 21:55

I'd be rethinking contact after this, what a twat!

Rezolution123 · 25/03/2016 21:55

Sorry for you. Ring police and ask if they can track his phone. Child aged 2 should not be treated in this way.

pictish · 25/03/2016 22:00

I too hope you're putting her to bed OP. He's an irresponsible idiot to worry you like this.

Babymamamama · 25/03/2016 22:01

So sorry for you op. It's certainly late now. Hope all is well and your little one is home with you now.

Moxiechick · 25/03/2016 22:03

She's back. Just getting her ready for bed and will update

NeedACleverNN · 25/03/2016 22:03

I would be furious!

It's way past most 2 year olds bed time. I bet she's exhausted

FeralBeryl · 25/03/2016 22:03

Thank goodness! Give her a hug from us lot Grin

caker · 25/03/2016 22:05

What a late night, poor wee thing. Glad you've got her safe now.

sleeplessinmybedroom · 25/03/2016 22:05

Glad she's back safe.
