Just had to vent this somewhere. Had my exH round earlier this evening (picking up one of the children to take him to his house) - that's after I had helped him out by taking the children back this morning although it was supposed to be his weekend so he could go to watch football with a friend.
The other two children did not want to go as they were playing on their computers.
Anyway, he said terribly snidely that he had been round to a friend's house (the one he went to football with) and HIS children were not allowed computer games so they were sitting reading books. The implication, of course, being that my parenting skills are crap. He is a master of the deniable dig.
This is the man who cheated throughout our marriage, is currently living with a Russian woman and her baby and is desperate to marry her and have more children with her, who was the one who introduced video and computer games into our family and uses them as his main activity when he has the children and who NEVER EVER READS A BOOK.
I wanted to hit him with a frying pan but I settled for suggesting that he might do a better job of bringing up his second family then.
Small fry in the context of everything else he has done, but what a shitty way to reward a favour.
