Basically, I have a 7yo DS with my ex. We split up when DS was a little baby.
My ex has always had a spending problem and a bit of a hoarder which is only one of the many reasons we broke up.
He always buys DS things that he likes himself (my ex is very childlish) rather than what DS actually needs and likes. He treats Christmas, birthdays etc as a competition which is laughable considering he has him once a week for a few hours.
He’s always bought DS so many presents over the years. Half of which DS wasn’t interested in as he had autism and very specific interests. Luckily he’s kept most of it over his dads as I haven’t got room for it all here with all the stuff we have.
His Dad is moving in with his girlfriend and their baby and ever since they got he house he’s been bringing more and more stuff over at drop off time. I try and say no but DS is keen to bring it in and dump it somewhere and never look at it again 😬😬 he gets upset if I say no.
Tonight, he brought in a massive bag of clothes that he bought for DS over the years (all stuff I wouldn’t pick myself). Asked me to sort through it and anything too small I could donate to a charity shop. I looked through it and it’s all ridiculously too small!! So why couldn’t he bloody donate it to a charity shop? It’s not like I ever bought these clothes or would miss them. Like I haven’t got enough to do looking after a child with additional needs and a toddler during the summer holidays! 🙄
The other day they brought over a massive toy he already has. So now I have two of the same!
I feel like they are off loading on us because they are moving and it’s driving me crazy!
If he gives us anymore crap, I’m gonna go mad! 😂
