To think ex dp is a waste of space

[beesy0]

My son has a party to go to today. It's a bus ride away which i don't mind, but with is being Sunday buses are not regular and it's raining. So asked ex dp if he minds dropping us to save our two children waiting around for the bus in the rain. His response was: sounds beggy to me asking me to take you. I replied 'ill catch the bus, I wasn't asking for me it was more for our children'. Im so mad. It's not like he's doing anything.

He’s a twat.

Hmm I wouldn't have asked tbh are there no taxis then ?

What's beggy? Like you're begging him for something?

What a twattish way to respond. Good thing he's an ex.

Why not? If he's local and has a car and it wouldn't take him very long , it's really sad that you can't ask the other parenting your child to give you hand on a child related task. If he had plans and was busy fair enough but his response was dickish.

Even if he had a great reason that he wasn’t able to give his child a lift, that’s an extremely twatty reply

Save that text.
What a twat.

I wouldn't ask as they obviously dont have a great relationship for him to respond like that so I wouldn't ask for favours and yes its a favour if it isn't his day regardless of if being for the child.

The Op didn;'t actually say they don't have a great relationship. Oddly some people do manage to co-parent quite well. I agree that if it's not amicable then no- no point setting yourself up for a knock-back but its really sad that a grown man (or woman) can't just put themselves out a little to help out.

I'm basing it on his response.

He sounds like a bratty teen ☹️.

Did he at least offer to take his child alone?
