OK so I would like to ask if I am being unreasonable or he is being an arse.
Christmas plans for me and my kids Christmas Dinner at my parents then a big family boxing day meal at my brothers. I asked the ex what plans he had to see the kids Christmas day asked him loads of times to let me know so I could arrange my plans around DD and DS seeing their dad and family. He never got back to me. So I made plans etc for us 3
Christmas eve comes and boxing day plans are now cancelled as my brother has covid. So quick rearrange of boxing day plans, meal moved to my parents.
Christmas day comes DD has a positive LF DS negative. Oh shit I have no plan for Christmas day food or boxing day food, my oven blew up a few days before Christmas so no cooking facilities.
The ex had planned on taking his mum to the pub for Christmas Dinner. I asked if he could take DS his reply was "why in gods name would you test on Christmas day morning. Then he followed it up by saying it was 70 per head for the meal and he had just paid over £300 for DS to be insured on his (my exs) car as his Christmas present for DS (DS turned 17 this month). DD and I offered to pay he then said it was unfair to put the pub in that position as there were time slots pre ordered food etc.....
Having worked in the hospitality trade myself I know that 1 more person wouldn't make that much of a difference I pointed this out to the ex he just said he wouldn't ask them as he didn't want to put the out.
He later admitted that they would have fitted DS in as the ex is such a loyal customer.
Is he being a dick or am I over reacting?
Ex has been off work since Xmas eve and seen DS for a few hours on Christmas day. DS present from his dad was being taken out for a drive every day. Oh and he spent £30 on a water bottle for DD
