Just feeling a bit sorry for myself :-(

[froggies]

I have just dropped DD's at ExP's, dd2 (3) didn't want to say goodbye, and said 'just go away mum I don't want to give you a kiss' which is hurtful in itself, but I know she is knackered and 5 mins before she didn't want to go to ExP's at all, so I can totally get over that.
But what really hurt was ExP laughing and then shutting the door on me and turning the outside light off (he lives very rural, there are no street lights it is pitch black tonight) I did have my torch as i walk from his drive to my house, but it was in my pocket... But what a way to behave in front of DD's! Every time he drops off at mine i stand with the door open even when it is bloody freezing to make sure the girls get to say good bye properly and don't close it until they have gone inside or he has started to leave. Athough i have closed it in on him when they haven't been there and he has been ranting about things at me on more than one occasion.
I know I shouldn't be suprised or upset by his behaviour towards me, but I am upset that he thinks nothing of treating me like this in front of them :-(

He sounds like an idiot! Sorry to hear you are upset, it's Saturday night, run yourself a nice bath & relax. I am also a lone parent my DD is 1 year & 4 days old & I split from her Dad 1 year & 1 day ago! We don't ever see him, he wants nothing to do with DD, which is probably easier as he would act like you ex, total numpty.

I have to do taxi duties to the bus stop for DS's friends in an hour, and I am anticipating a bracing walk home as I don't think I'm going to get the car all the way back up the hill in the snow.
Maybe a bath will be well and truly needed after that!

Enjoy your walk, your bath and rejoice in the fact that the twat is an Ex. And DD probably won't remember and will be totally made up to see you tomorrow (if that's when she gets back) .

You've got snow?!? Where about's are you? Hope you are home now & nice & warm.

Phew just got home, 20mins wheel spinning in first gear up the hill. I have never been so glad to have snow tyres! Yep, it is snowing again, I am on the north east coast of Scotland, about 50 miles from John o' groats.
Think the adrenalin has overcome the upset, now have to deal with teenage love angst.
DS (15) has had his gf, her friend and a couple of his friends over for the day, gf lives miles away and goes to different school so he doesn't see her often, he really peed off that she hardly spoke to him all day, and did't say good bye, now she on the bus and texting him... (I am seriously glad the bus turned up, anticipated her and her pal having to stay over and another scary trip to the village for me) poor lad.
I will get that bath :-)

I am still up stairs with my baby, trying to get her to sleep. Been here for 2 1/2 hours now. I did attempt CC but only lasted about 5 minutes.

Your poor DS, perhaps the gf is just very shy? Nice that he can talk to you about it.

:-( poor you, and poor baby! Hope she drops off soon.
DS has now gone off to kill things on the xbox. I suspect gf isn't going to be a gf for much longer, I am sooo glad those teenage days are behind me, agonising to watch him go through it, but nice to see he isn't a thoughtless git with only one objective. He'll get there :-)
AmIThatBad, thank you :-) yes, they get back tomorrow night, and at this rate we might get a snow day on Monday :-)
