To think that a spare £100 should be spent on you kids

rather than a big night out of the piss.

Bit of Background. Is my ex I am talking about. He "won" some money this week and went out with it on a big night out.

Arrived this morning to see dc and then asked me to lend him some cash so he could do something special with them. I said "NO!" as I knew he had had this money, turned out he spent it within 24 hours of winning it. He then told me that he wouldn't allow me to turn this into a big drama and make this situation All About ME! etc etc etc.

AIBU to think that if he wanted to give his kids a treat he probably should have kept hold of some of this money to do so instead of asking me? I am a single parent for crying out loud and yes he does pay child support but why the hell should I be lending him money, every month he comes to me when he runs short before pay day.

I am absolutely raging, I can't even be coherant when he tries to explain to me that I am the one who is being unreasonable. Help me come up with some calm, measured response to let him know what a prick he is. He always turns it around and trys to make out I am being selfish or dramatic.

Right, but he pays back one month before borrowing the next, so you're not worse off if you refuse to lend the next, surely?

As for child support - is CSA involved? Or is it a private arrangement?
