For being "sarky"?

DP is absolutely OBSESSED with everything being 100% fair (as long as it's in his favour, anyway).

So for instance, if I buy my son a pair of trainers because he needs them, DP will buy his son some trainers just to make it fair.

If my son has a yogurt before he goes to school, DP will try and force a yogurt down his son's throat just to make it "fair".

Anyway, we were sat wrapping christmas pressies this morning and DP wanted us to wrap the same presents in the same paper. So for instance, if I wrapped an xbox game in the red snowman paper, DP would make sure he wrapped an xbox game up in the same paper etc it really was ridiculous and I was chuckling to myself about it.

However, he then started on the tags.

"Which tag did you use for that present? the reindeer or the santa? could you pass me one the same please" etc.

In the end I got so pissed off with it. He was wrapping up a present and I said to him "how many pieces of celotape have you used on that pressie? five? well I've only used four on this one so could you pass me another piece please?"

Anyway he THREW the celotape at me and called me a "sarcy little cow" and stormed off. He's still not talking to me but refuses to admit that his "fairness lark" is OTT.

Should I have just kept quiet or what?

Substitute indoor for outdoor in the above post, if you please.

It's strange how pedantic, eagle-eyed and weird he's being about htis "fairness" issue when in your other thread today you are moaning how he is dopey and never notices anything!

Why do you think is previous partner left him? Be very careful with this relationship. What if you DS is cleverer than his DS or gets more awards at school?
Your son is going to be seriously messed up by all of this and his son will never learn how to share 'fairly' and do things for himself.
I would be running screaming for the hills...sorry

I'm still laughing at puppymonkey asking what happens when your son gets a girlfriend! I have visions of your OH paying some random bird to go out with his son!!

He seriously sounds like a loon, but i'm guessing that as you are still with him, his other qualities must outshine his loonyness

Ahhhh....

What's the other post?

BalloonSlayer · 04/12/2009 17:24

Oh Gawd whatever happened to working out it's a joke thread and running with it?

Those are my favourites. This one looked as if it might be a good 'un.

how old are the boys?

ObsidianBlackbirdMcNight · 04/12/2009 18:01

Where does OP mention their ages? I honestly remember gateax posting on another thread, do not remember which but it's not the style of the mad troller. And that one had a DSD no?

Could be wrong though.

GhoulsAreLoud · 04/12/2009 18:04

Couldn't she have a 7 yr old and a 14 yr old then?

I thought I remembered Gateaux, maybe it was gateau? Some thread about doing baby signing classes and the like lurks in the very back of my mind...

MadameDefarge · 04/12/2009 18:12

Well-known troll. Ignore.
