To postpone Christmas day and tell my ex to fuck off?

Posted another thread last night about having norovirus and pretty much being glued to the bathroom floor. I feel absolutely terrible.

Dd's dad was out drinking last night and I asked him to come and look after her today as there's no way I could. He came and took her to nursery and picked her up at 1 - all fine. He's been in a mood with me all day because he's actually had to be a dad for a few hours and is in a mood because I said I can't cook christmas dinner on Sunday - we were supposed to be having a nice day for dd's sake. He's pissed off that I can't pick up the turkey that I ordered because how on earth can I go out in public when I'm contagious and needing the toilet every 5 mins?

He's now leaving and saying that I'm putting on crocodile tears and that I need to man up. What the actual fuck.

AIBU to tell him he's not welcome here on Sunday? I don't want him anywhere near us.

He says he doesn't have to look after dd if he doesn't want to and asked why he should do me any favours.

I'm gobsmacked.

How long have you been split up? I've done all this? They don't care or appreciate it. Limit your contact and put your shield up xxx

WTAF? This is why he is your ex,OP. Bloody men. I really wonder why we bother with them sometimes. I have seen or heard of so many examples of cunt-twat-wanker behaviour,by the male sex over the last couple of weeks,I just despair. Hope you feel better soon OP.

No I'm not looking after him. I told him to go home and his face was a picture. He definitely wanted me to mother him. Being the mug I am I felt slightly guilty but I need to change and stand up to him.

I am incredibly happy that he's caught it Smile

We've been broken up for almost 2 years. He didn't stick around long after dd was born.

Good for you Brooklyn. I hope you're feeling better and that you and your DD have a lovely day without him. It's no more than he deserves!

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I'm thrilled to hear he has caught it! Cracking. Let's hope he has a rethink about how unkind he was!

Get well soon op!

Christmasmice · 24/12/2016 18:45

Brilliant! I hope you feel much better tomorrow and he spends his whole day with his head down the loo

Thrilled this cunt has caught noro - hope it's a really based dose. He deserves it. Time to get some really good boundaries in place?

Whocansay · 24/12/2016 18:50

I do hope you told him to man up...

kittybiscuits · 24/12/2016 18:51

*bad dose

RockyBird · 24/12/2016 18:53

I don't usually wish ill on people but it is quite sweet that your wankstain ex has noro.

kittybiscuits · 24/12/2016 18:55

Me neither. I hope he shits his tonsils!

A bit of advice. Stamp on any urge to celebrate Christmas with him now whilst your dd is small. My friend started a similar arrangement with her ex and 14 years later is still stuck with hosting the cockwomble at Christmas. She tried to stop when her dd was 8 or 9 but by then the poor lass was so worried about him being "alone" if they didn't invite him round that friend stuck with it. Now her mum's elderly and she desperately wants Christmas with her but her dd feels to guilty at abandoning her dad. No win situation except for him.
