Can't decide if I am annoyed or pleased that XP is going to get his flat furnished for free

His mum has found out about it and basically told him to make a list of what he needs, cooker, bed, washer etc and they will buy it, money no object.

I am pleased for the kids sake because it means when they visit him they can do so in comfort and have a proper meal etc, but FGS if I need anything new like that I have to scrimp and save or go without.

He won't get the stuff completely without consequence though as his mum will think that buying him stuff gives her permission to visit whenever she likes.

Wonder if she will decide that my kids exist again now.

I wonder if she will buy me and dd1 new matresses, mine is only about 15 years old and dd's erm 9 years and about as thick as a cheap sponge LOL.

Actually, i'd not have a thing off that woman if my life depended on it so maybe not.

one day his mother will cut the apron string and then he will have to fend for himself, just wait and see

Nutty, thats SAD. What a pathetic excuse or a twunt he is. And he knows it.
Similar to my xp, when he left I put £1400 in his bank. His mum sent him down money, I dont know how much, and he didnt return it. So he had 2 grands wages, and £1400 and he said thanks to his mum for sending down more.
Twunts.

Nutcracker, I might be preaching to the converted here, so apologies, but have you thought about joining your local Freecycle group ?

I see loads of newish, or even brand new, stuff advertised on there all the time - including beds and mattresses.

In the meantime, try to look upon this as him being looked after by his "mummy" .... pathetic, useless lump that he is. You, though, are looking after yourself and your children. I had a relationship years ago (thankfully no children) with a complete mummy's boy .... she (the MIL from hell) was happy to see us struggling (not that I'd have expected anything from her) while we were together, yet as soon as we split she couldn't fall over herself fast enough to help her poor little boy. If he was any sort of man he'd thank his mum and then arrange to repay her back.
