Can I just rant

[Moominfan]

Ex has just rubbed in my face how he's saving for another house and should be buying in the New Year. Has got himself a new expensive hair line via surgery this year. renovated a house with his family for him to rent out. Has treat himself to multiple tattoos and designer clothes. Told me our child has lots of lovely days out with him and gets to eat out whenever he's with him.

Meanwhile pays me grand total of £80 a month in maintenance. Which is more than what Csa would enforce. Loves to remind me of that as well.

I just fucking hate the cunt. His smug little face and family. The lot of them

Now I'll go back to being the bigger person

Lol i want to rant too!! My ex guves me 180 a month and does nowt else. I supply everything for our son. He keeps asking me to supply clothes for when he has him as he has no money??? He takes him on days out now and then but then gets me to supply clothing he needs to do this, waterproofs wellies even to the point of asking for tissues when he has a cold!!! Its hard for the resident parent i feel, unless you do have an understanding ex!!

Feel for you both. Too many waste of space men out there. My ex pays nothing- he works in a field where there are always jobs and cash under table opportunities so whenever CMS catch up with him he just quits his job and starts using DD to get to me (threatening not to return after contact etc) When do kids suddenly get over Disney dads? She gets everything she wants when she's with him but equally a Nintendo switch won't keep her warm and dry all winter in the same way the boring expenses like rent, central heating and a coat will. I hate thinking about how unfair it is too much but thought you might appreciate the solidarity that it's not just you!

It's soo hard being the bigger person. But my son adores him.

Yep @Moominfan and I bet because of that, that all his family and friends think he is the most awesome dad there has ever been ever! It's very difficult

Yes! Sun shines out his arse. My child loves going to his for all the fun stuff I can't afford to do.

Patience my virtual friend...
Exh played the cash throwing super hero.
Ds's went nc at 12 +14 stating lack of parenting and boundaries..

Ugh! Hairline thing and tattoos- sounds pretty desperate.

He can't buy his way out of being a fucking arsehole though - solidarity. The feckless knob X of mine is off this weekend with his benighted ladyfriend having managed to let his own children down 6 times this month.

Knob-wangling wankstains The lot of them

@Winterdaysarehere your comment gives me lots of hope- thanks!

Thank you winterday! Need to bide my time and let it go

Wtffgs what a nob don't know how they justify it to themselves. I have mum guilt over everything

Glad to hear its not just me in this situation, i call my ex a disney dad too! Hard on us when its us doing all the boring stuff/behind the scenes, to facilitate them being able to take the kids out in clothes and shoes, and they get the fun times while we worry about the everyday things 😔

Go us 😊👍

Thank you you lot, was having a really tough morning (ex not agreeing to contact days and not paying the correct maintenance) and I just need to breathe and get one with it all. Why are they such knobs though, I don't get it, they are their babies too. Do they not see them the same way we do or what?????

Wee rant from me also! Disney dad didn't see his daughter all weekend coz too hungover to drive then complains he doesn't see her! Glad to know it's not just me. Sometimes I could do with a punchbag 🤣

Yes punch bags all round!

Just another quick rant from me, the Disney dads that "can't possibly pay the MINIMUM amount of maintenance" but every 2 weeks (on their whole DAY with them) buys them so much crap and they delivers it back with the kids so your house is even more full of crap, but of course, they claim poverty to you regarding maintenance

@ihavehobbies just laughed out loud in the train to your comment! I totally feel you! Bags and bags for life full of crap come my way waaaaaaay to often, i started leavin them for a few days then dumpin them as more times than not kids dont even look back at the stuff. He never pays any maintenance because he is always out of jobs and broke...

Hahaha a rant always helps
