Ex-h, DP and my DS2, her DS2 and his 2 ds's. went on holiday to Benidorm last Thursday.
A nice Villa with pool and a hire car.
So far, so good.

1 Teenager
2 Hard work youngsters
3 100 euros (to last 9 days)
4 a hire car WITH NO KEYS!!

If I read the title correctly... YABU.
You should be PMSL !

Hope the kids are enjoying the pool anyway!

Roarindrunk · 23/10/2007 17:21

on dear , never mind

Rachmumoftwo · 23/10/2007 17:25

As long as the kids are all OK laugh away- I would!

themoon66 · 23/10/2007 17:30

You'd laugh even more if I told you the weather over there is crap at the moment.

heifer · 23/10/2007 17:30

will your DS be ok with him and no money or keys etc?

I can see why it would be funny to happen to your EXH but how old is your son?

Lulumama · 23/10/2007 17:43

i am with heifer on this one

3 kids, no money and no car

however much of an arse he is/ was, that is a horrible situation

must have been some row to have that reaction

has she ended the relationship

hifi · 23/10/2007 17:45

hes old enough to figure it out himself im sure, i would have an evil laugh though.

NorthernLurker · 23/10/2007 17:46

I agree with Lulumama really. In your position I think I would feel angry with ex for having been such a moose (again) that his dp leaves him and my child's holiday is ruined.....

ManxMum · 23/10/2007 18:16

The are always arguing and making up, usually every week.

I told DS2 not to go, but stay at home and enjoy 12 days of peace.

He is 19yo, so am not unduly worried about him, he will call me or his big bruv if he needs us.

And the weathers crap? WHAT A SHAME......

Wierd thing is, she thinks it was me that caused the problems in our marriage, hopefully she has seen the light now.

I used to get my ex-h's dp come round for coffee and tell me what a knob he was being... and one of the reasons I chucked him out was cos he was knocking her off!
I used to say to her... "well you wanted him"

ManxMum · 24/10/2007 08:59

Nice one BB!

Still haven't heard from them. Don't expect a postcard somehow....

OP posts:
Beelliesebub · 24/10/2007 11:02

Can you imagine the postcard!

Villa's nice, weather's not. Please send food parcel, nanny and locksmith!
PS If you see dp tell her we're finished!

LittleMissNervoustWitch · 24/10/2007 12:22

jeez what did he do to warrant her to do that! you would think she would stick it out for the sake of the kids, her poor ds too having to be dragged home the very next day

ScaremyVile · 24/10/2007 12:28

So, is this what happens when people divorce?
You forever more take pleasure in your EXs troubles? Glad I'm not married then.

Beelliesebub · 24/10/2007 12:30

It all depends why you divorce really....

bookwormmum · 24/10/2007 12:32

I've heard of people splitting up on holiday and grinning/bearing it for the duration. I'm not sure I'd like to hear about my xp being abandoned (being soft-hearted) but don't tell my dp that! but then I don't know all the facts. Perhaps he deserved it.

Lorayn · 24/10/2007 12:44

If it was my exdp I'd find it quite funny, but at the same time be worried about the children, just cos the two younger ones arent anything to do with you doesnt mean I wouldnt worry, they are your ds brothers after all.

Presumably you've spoken to your DS as you know whats happened?

I say take comfort in the fact that he isnt your dh/p anymore and pray the chidlren are ok.

ManxMum · 25/10/2007 08:58

BBB - girl after my own heart

In divorced him for the same reasons they are rowing, thought she would have learnt by now

My DS2 is fine, younger 2 will be ok as older DSB has money, which I am sure his Dad will borrow.

Ex's gf called ds1 (not on holiday) and told him.

Yes, I do feel sorry for her son, as he really needed a holiday, but I imagine the stress caused between the 2 adults would be worse.

All in all, ex-h deserves it. he should have paid the mortgage/rent/bills instead.
