That my son's new expensive bday present which mysterrrrrriously went missing after a certain person babysat(nobody else been in the house) is going to mysterrriously reappear (probably somewhere we have already looked for it) after sat when somebody can get back into the house without me being there.

Somebody (who didn't get ds a birthday pressie) is then going to call and casually ask if ds has found his bday pressie and tell me I have a bad character and I treat him sooooooo unfairly.....Hmm

Some days I just really don't like men [sad}

I'll be back on sat to tell you if i was right. (He has got previous form btw)

Wouldn't it be great if you could rig your house with CCTV and catch him doing it?

Er - so this person is going to pass off the present as being from them?

ValiumSandwichTime · 09/02/2011 18:45

Did he want to play with it himself?

Even when it reappears, tell him it never showed up. That'll confuse him.

I think I would be pleased/relieved if it did turn up, rather than it never turned up. Why do you think he would take the expensive present?? My first thought was has he sold it.

I have a bet running on whether DS will return back from his dad's with the one item he took with him.

Something from my house is left there every single time. Sometimes glasses or medication, sometimes a toy. He is currently denying a toy being at his (I KNOW it is there) and DS keeps asking me to buy him a new one.

Sigh. Ex's are a PITA Grin

No I think he's going to put it back, deny taking it and tell me off! He's taken other stuff and admitted it despite knowing I've told him not to.

Valium that is so funny Im going to have to do it supposing its ever returned. Grin

Basically its definitely not in the flat, we've turned it upside down, nobody else has been in here so its not rocket science where it went.....

Aboard I couldn't agree more Wink

is it a last generation ds, ps or similar by any chance?

AboardtheAxiom · 10/02/2011 07:49

I too like valium's idea of pretending you still can't find it.

Do you think he does it just to mess with your head? This is why I think my ex does these things, it's his only chance to wind me up - pretty pathetic really (doesn't get chance to take thigns though as he is no longer allowed over the doorstep).

Its a brand new gaming system with footie games on and he's football mad.

And yes he definitely does it to mess with my head,exactly the same happened with something else a few weeks ago which is why I would put it down in writing beforehand Wink

I'm just Sad for ds who showed him it so proudly Angry

Awww....i really feel for your ds. :-((

And my God, i thought i was the only one who had this problem. and am too afraid to mention it to anyone in RL. As they may think im mad!

But to hear other ladies who also have the same problem, helps to reassure me that im not.

Im 100% sure that its just a tactic to mess with our heads and to make us unsure of ourselves and what we know or think.

Its not just my ex who does it but his sis aswell, she has been known to take stuff which takes her fancy, only never to return it!!

When my ex first started doing this i would wonder where the hell things were dissappearing to?? and that too from our house, where noone else had come in. And from where nothing had EVER gone astray.

Sometimes things woud turn up where i had already looked a million times already, sometimes they wouldnt.

Sometimes perfectly fine posessions of mine e.g. mp3 players, mobiles, sunglasses etc would be broken! :-(

That would hurt!!!

Well I was wrong. No psp, no contact at all and as it;s gone and nobody else in the house not much doubt in my mind. He's also taken a laptop, admitted it, despite me telling him not to take it and hes refusing to give it back. So for that reason alone he is not coming back into my house again. Sadly, it seems that he doesn't care enough to take the kids anywhere else so he's now lost his kids Sad. All for a fucking psp! I just hope it's worth it, his 2 year old son has been asking where he is every day, and I just don't know what to tell him.

Well he's going to give me money for the psp that he didn't take Hmm and the laptop that he took for my own good Hmm but he's not coming back in the house.

He's also accusing me of turning the kids against him ermm no they worked out that taking stuff sucks all by themselves Confused

Thanks everyone for all your help and support, it's not about the money at all so he's kind of missing the whole point of not ripping his own kids off!
