Fucking ex. He doesn't get to me at all these days but I'm 
and and the fucking cheek of him tonight.
Some months ago, for reasons known only to DD's fuckwit dad, he decided to tell her he would be taking her on holiday next year. Why he felt the need to tell her this I've no idea. He went into some detail with her, describing how he'd been to gran canaria when he was a boy, the things he did etc. and DD has repeated this to me a few times, telling me her dad is taking her on holiday next year etc. and how she wants to do what her dad did when he was a boy etc. He took her on holiday to Turkey 2 years ago free kids place and she loved it. So, him telling her about another holiday has got her little mind ticking over thinking about it even though it's over a year away.
So, he texted me a few days ago to say he was thinking of taking her to Egypt instead. I queried this as DD has been talking about gran canaria etc. and said he'd need to talk to her about it. Then tonight, he's texted to say he's now going to egypt alone, as he's visiting friends and they are 'party people' so DD not welcome. I politely point out that he's told DD he's taking her on holiday so he's built her hopes up only to change his mind when he gets a better offer so in future could he simply not tell her about possible holidays if he has no intention of taking her leaving her disappointed. Queue a rant from him about how he deserves this holiday as 2 fucking years ago he had DD 24/7 for 1 week. This is the point were I lost the plot 
. 1 week out of 52 2 fucking years ago is the sum total of his effort in spending time with DD. He sees her infrequently, can't even remember when she last saw him tbh. She loves spending time with him but he simply can't be arsed most of the time. And most of the time I just leave him to it as he's not worth my energy.
But, telling me how he deserves a holiday without his DD because he had her 24/7 2 fucking years ago ignoring the fact he put her into the kids club every day and expects sympathy from me? Me who has responsibility for DD 24/7 every fucking day? Oh, apart from 1 week 2 fucking years ago.
I honestly don't know where he gets the gall to come out with this shite. I couldn't give a tiny shiny shit about what he does, where he goes and why he thinks he needs a holiday. I simply don't want him fillling DD's head with shite when he has no intention of actually taking her anywhere. It's not fair on her to be led to believe she's going on another holiday with her dad, which she would just love, for him to then decide he's going on holiday only not with her. It's fucking cruel, especially as she has been told this ages ago, and talks about it frequently.
So, my usual zen-like couldn't-give-a-fuck veneer cracked slightly, and I wasn't as polite as I usually am when dealing with him. Useless twat. Normal service will resume shortly but by fuck I let him know exactly what I thought of his fucking oh-so-deserved holiday. And I don't regret it either.
