"Should be fine" is not "yes". AIBU to want a concrete answer?

[Flappypants]

My narc EA STBXH is and has always been very evasive and hard to pin down. I realise thanks to you lovely MNers that it is a way to control and gaslight me more effectively and I won't have it any more.

I needed to hand DD age 2 over an hour early today as I have a hospital appointment and I dropped him a text to confirm and the attached exchange is his response. It's the second time this week that he has done this "Should be" thing and I think it's too vague.

He has tried and failed to have me declared insane, failed to convince cafcass that I am unfit, failed to use my DS as a conduit for his abuse and is now using DD (he's also stopped getting his solicitor to send me stroppy letters to frighten me) who he, for the 5th time in ten days or so, says has nappy rash. She doesn't. I took her to the doctor yesterday to make doubly sure a) I wasn't going mad and I haven't missed something and b) to check she is ok and suffice it to say there is absolutely nothing wrong with her bottom or fandango. The Twat.

Anyway, AIBU to want a simple yes or fucking no, or am I a pedant?

Your suggestions are excellent. He is an unbelievably misogynistic, passive aggressive, arrogant and self-inflated tool. The red flags were all over the place and I don't know how I didn't run a mile from him. But hey. One of my favourites was "I always get what I want in the end. Even James (Not real name) my business partner knows not to cross me" and about his ex wife "she pushed me so far I put a hole in the wall but I didn't fix it. I left it so she could see how she'd wound me up". Funnily enough there's a hole in our bedroom wall that was done three years ago. Not fixed either.
