To think he could have at least replied?

I'm really annoyed. The kids go to their dad's house every fortnight. He doesn't take them anywhere and god forbid he spend any money on them but they go...simply because that is the 'agreement'.

Anyway last week I told him that DS1 was at a karate tournament next weekend. I invited him to come and watch and he said "kata is gay" and he "doesn't know if he'll be able to" and he "doesn't know the way" etc etc...roughly translated... "god no, I'd rather tear my own eyes out than watch him prance around in a karate suit".

So this weekend DS1 asked me "I know, since we can't go to dad's next weekend, we could go this weekend?" (as its not his usual weekend but obviously as he can't have them next weekend it makes sense to swap them around). So I phoned saturday morning...no answer. I phoned again mid morning...no answer ... I phoned again at lunch time ... no answer ....

So Saturday night DS said "well, we could just go tomorow instead" so I phoned him saturday night ... phone turned off.

I sent him an email asking if he'd like to have the kids Sunday (today) as he can't next weekend...no reply and I KNOW he's on his PC 24/7 so will have read the email.

I'm so fucking sick of him. AIBU?

MrsSnape, good on you for still making the effort, even though it may be leading you to leave teeth marks on the furniture. What a tool.

[MrsSnape]

the thing is, even if he is at home, I was phoning his mobile so it will have the number listed as having phoned more than once.

Last time he completely ignored me for days (when it was to do with the kids) and then phoned me to ask if he had any mail here no "how are the kids" or anything.

And on Friday DS received a certificate for making representing the karate association at competition level at a big presentation. When/if I tell his dad he'll just say "oh, why don't you get him into kickboxing or something? karate is gay/for girls/stupid/insert insult here". He infuriates me.

WHat does Kata is gay mean?

Don't think yabu if he has got your message but are you sure he hasn't gone away?
