To be fuming with XH after taking out DS to a posh long lunch the day before GCSEs

[Bouledeneige]

Just that really, DS has 8 GCSEs exams this week and three tomorrow. Staying at his Dad's this weekend who decides to take him and his sister and the new girlfriend and her kids to a really famous posh London restaurant - out at midday home 4.30pm. (A man not known for his generosity!.....)

What is he thinking? Its just seems really unfair to my son. DS wouldn't have enjoyed it that much, he's quite shy and socially awkward but clearly had no say in the matter. DD who is doing A levels went too. DS refused to do any further work when he came home to mine because his Dad made him get up early to do some.

I'm fuming.

It's lunch. I'm sure he is allowed a few hours off. Also I've never heard of 3 GCSE exams in one day!

My dad always took me out for pancakes the night before exams. It’s a lovely memory I have and means far more to me than the results.

I was seaking to someone this weekend who has a child that is doing 3 exams for GCSEs in one day, and it has already been mentioned on this thread that others have it too!

OP, you sound extremely petty! Your ds will do as well as he can and no amout of cramming the day before will make a difference.

Another post where OP asks AIBU, told that she is and disagrees with everyone but the few supporting her viewpoint. Yawn.

This thread is so not about the revising or op would not have let him spend 4 days on his PS4. I’d stop debating whether or not long periods of revision the day before are helpful or not, to some they are, to some they aren’t. This is about OPs issue with her Ex.

Yes OP takes her kid out multiple times and would let him not revise for 4 days

Lol, disagree with the OP by all means but don’t make things up! The OPs son wasn’t stopped from revising by his mother. He chose not to revise. Still, why let facts get in the way of a good froth 😏

He got home before 5pm not 5am. Really don't get the issue, some dads really can never win.

Massive overreaction.

Good job the father made him do some revision on the Sunday morning then isn't it as Mum hasn't made him do any.

Maybe OP should be saying thank you to the Ex for making him do some revision instead of complaining he took him out for a few hours.
