My bastrd x

[ggglimpopo]

didn't bother to ring or send a present for ds's birthday. He rang on dd's birthday and sent a huge parcel (which turned out to be a puffa jacket - bloody odd present to send to a kid in southern France in May, when it was in the mid 20°s, but still, she had a parcel and a card and the thought that he remembered her). Ds has had nothing.

Today I had yet another no from a child invited to his party. Found out that a very popular child in his class invited the whole class, but not ds (who is shy and has a small circle of friends) and they are all going to the other party. It is too late to arrange another party.

Bosoms.

Things are not going very Brady Bunchingly well at Limpopo Chateau at the moment.

Do you think I should lie and buy something for him and pretend it is from the tosser? Ds has just turned 7 btw, and is the yummiest little boy.

Lie

Lie

Lie

Should have said that the popular kid is having a party on the same afternoon as ds - at the very grim soft play place that I point blank refused to consider when planning ds's party.

I will have to think of something then wrap it in a parcel and parcel post it so it will be like dds. Sod.

Lie your fucking head off.

Yep and hire hit man later.

Yep, and it will have to be vaguely shite present or dd will feel hard done by with her black duvet thing which is currently hanging on her bedroom door.

would it be too late to do a small family party with your ds?? Something fabulous that he would love with just immediate family??

As for the x thing, ermmm could you ring him up and remind him or something, I would't want to lie but I can't bear the thought of how your little boy will feel..... I'd ring him and practice my french on him personally.....

Have just run this past DH, and lie your fucking head off was his comment.

He reckons the size of the parcel, will not matter as long as it looks like ( the waste of sperm) knew what to buy him.

and it will also have to be a shit present otherwise you'll give the game away - the kids won't believe that he actually bought something they wanted/needed. How about books? Or better something light to post - inflatable something?

Oh and tell ex-bast'd so that he doesn't give the game away.

Thats so sad you have to lie .

Is there still time for something to arrive?

His birthday is today - habing said that, dds arrived a few days after her birthday, but he rang me several times before to tell me that there was some thing coming, and he rang on her bday. For ds, nada.

The fucking Cu*t.

Your poor little man

My dd's got a wankadad too... don't get me started - makes my blood boil

Such a shame about the other (snotty) boy having a party on the same day - family party suggestion sounds good, could you do this?

Don't know what to say about the present, I've always told dd the truth about her dad. But then she's not had a sibling who's had preferential treatment...

Think I'd lie, but it is so sad to have to

Have had a think and a talk to my dh. I am partly to blame for the current situation - I really should have thought about it and done as I did last year, witheld any presents from him and then just introduced them as and when - last year -or was it the year before - they all got presents but there was a huge discrepancy in the size of the presents (ds got three plastic fish one year whilst dd got a baby G watch....). I am going to ring him and tell him that unless he sends all the children a present for their birthdays, and the same sort of present, then I will reject any future gifts from him. Just add that to the fact that he pays no child support, has no known address (hahahhaha), has not seen the children for four years, does not ring them or write and has said that he will never make an effort to do so as long as I refuse to have him to stay (with me and dh!!) so he can see the children......

Ds still hasnt asked about a present from him. Maybe he has figured out it is not worth doing so...

Hope your ds's party is great anyway ggg
