Whilst just about being civil to each other over split arrangements he then said " oh and I would be grateful if you wouldn't throw out any of the good baby clothes for any future children I may have" I was then . I said you're having a laugh aren't you you really think I would let another woman have my babies' clothes? Meaning, another woman of his as opposed to any other woman (I regularly give outgrown clothes to charity shops). He said with a sarcastic smile there you go again being selfish and posessive".
Wouldn't you feel pretty p*ed off at that?

Another second family here and I wouldn't want the wicked stepmothers his exes cast offs either!

She has a son who is six weeks older than Tink and offered us his cot. TD was all for it but I asked what was wrong with it, after all he could have only been 10/12 weeks and this was a cot not a moses.

"Nothing, it just doesn't have different heights and he's too heavy for her to lift out"

"Well a. I don't want or need her cast offs, b.I have a perfectly good moses ^^ c. there is no way I can get even a tiny baby out of a cot that's on the floor with my back and d. did I mention I DON'T WANT HER CAST OFFS?"

Personally I know that I (or my Mum) bought most of what Tink wears, TD is so busy paying her over the odds and their wedding loan that he isn't able to help me out much, so I wouldn't be impressed and wouldn't want him taking it all to give to someone else. I'm getting annoyed with my SIL who wants me to give Tink's cast offs to her SIL. My SIL has a DD 9 months older than Tink and hasn't given me any of hers, odd cardigan when we've been there late. I spent a lot of money getting her clothes and often from Ebay, so I don't see why I should pass them on.

I like the idea of passing on EVERYTHING and not waiting till they have their own. They'll be shocked how much there is!

I definetly think it's being nasty and showing off he got some idiot someone 20 years younger who has childmaking years left.

I did it and you were right. During another of his 'talks'(he was asking what I thought of someone else moving in when I move out)I handed him a bundle of baby clothes.
"I don't want these" he said
" oh, I thought you said you did though I can't imagine why any self-respecting woman would want her dp's ex's baby stuff?"

"oh I said it to wind you up"

Hey, just seen this Citronella. Sooooo pleased you did it, well done!! However, what a complete arse! Can't believe he has such little dignity that he would actually admit to winding you up in such a way. Says alot about his state of mind.

I hope it was satisfying though

paros · 21/05/2008 22:34

I do believe you had the lST Laugh . Well done you .

minouminou · 22/05/2008 15:05

good on ya
what a spiteful cunt
the 26-year-old has got quite a catch, eh?

madamez · 22/05/2008 15:14

Well it had to be either an attempt to wind you up (and well done for handing over the stuff with a smile) or a way of steering round to mention that he's got someone else PG. But he does sound a prize dick.

sitdownpleasegeorge · 22/05/2008 15:20

I'd now wait until you get him and his 26 yr old together and hand over another batch.

If he says again "I was winding you up", say that you thought he wasn't serious as no-one could be that spiteful could they ?.

TinkerbellesMum · 22/05/2008 16:03

Why are you moving out? Surely as you are going to be the resident parent you should keep the house?

TinkerbellesMum · 22/05/2008 16:04

Oh and well done. I like the idea of offering in front of his new girlfriend.
