HOBBIT'S BAR - still finding it hard to move on...part 4

999 replies

WellWhoKnew · 23/03/2015 00:51

If you are struggling to come to terms with the ending of your marriage, no matter how that came about, this is the place where you come to say SHIT THIS IS HARD, when you hit those times of despair.

It is the place where it is never rude to interrupt if you're having a bad day and need to vent. No matter what.

The bar, owned by Hobbit, but run by committee, is open to all as we wind our way through divorce, come to terms with our individual circumstances, or just cope with adjusting to a new life.

My name is WellWhoKnew (known here as everyone's bloody mother!). I was suddenly abandoned nearly eleven months ago. I've just had the final hearing (finished five days ago) and I am now officially an ex-wife. I now have to start making plans for a very different future than I ever imagined, which includes moving home, getting a job, and leaving the deadwood behind.

It is the place where the only thing anyone will tell you to do is keep on, keeping on.

iwas now there's a thought....Fontella and Sid in the same room. I'm booking front row seats for that hope Fontella is too busy to read this threadGrin

looks like the fuckwittery is back on ladies - wonder what has instigated this? - something to do with me moving on perhaps - email with 25 questions regarding the kids being at home on their own ranging from what did they eat, to when was the last time smoke alarms were tested - no doubt BF has had a helping hand in this cos she seems to think the kids are 4 not nearly 14 FFS!!

Izzie595 · 24/03/2015 20:10

Oh FFS Green they really are spiteful twunts, aren't they?

Not to mention time wasters.

Deal with what is really relevant. And I would suggest in my reply that he may wish to ask the Food Police to investigate whether they have been strictly adhering to the Eatwell Plate

Izzie595 · 24/03/2015 20:14

........you do realise that they will be taken into care if you have given them blue Smarties?? Oh yes, my SIL imagines knows all sorts of shit. That's his side of the family of course.

Although I have to confess that my nan did blame our general bad weather on people going to the moonGrin

greenberet · 24/03/2015 20:16

izzie its pathetic - who refers to kids of 14 as children - did i check to see whether any alcohol was missing, or my ADs - how can i be sure they stayed in the house all the time -were alone all the time - this is another case of dont do as I do do as I say. they were fine DS was still awake on xbox when i got home & DD asleep - if he wants to put the kids up for battle - he better be prepared with their answer as to who they want to live with thats all i can say!

greenberet · 24/03/2015 20:17

izzie lol - what would they have done if the dog escaped into the field - surprised he remembers we have a dog

greenberet · 24/03/2015 20:21

i think i need to also add doesnt seem like he remembers much about his own kids either TWUNT!

oh by the way ive had a lovely day Wink

bobs123 · 24/03/2015 20:22

Green do you have to answer these questions? What business is it of his as long as they are fed,warm, clothed and you don't beat them surely that is all that matters

bobs123 · 24/03/2015 20:26

So you start off with telling us about the fuckwittery, then casually slip in with saying you've had a lovely day????? Tell all Smile

Hobbitwife001 · 24/03/2015 20:34

Yes Green, you complete hussy, you can't throw that little nugget of information in the ring and not give full disclosure Grin

Do,tell!

Izzie595 · 24/03/2015 20:35

bobs exactly

Well, I started back at work when DS2 was in Yr 2. He was the last one to leave the house each morning, although I picked him up from school each afternoon. Luckily we are only a few mins walk from the primary school, and there are no roads to cross.

And one day, I realised he was the victim of an atrocious working mother. I noticed a coat hanging on the stairs. And realised that DS2 had gone to school wearing his big brother's coat because it was all he could find.

Oh, and I once rushed off to the supermarket after getting home from work. And when I returned, there was DS2 stranded in the garden. I had forgotten he was out there, and just locked the door.

DS2 was most indignant. The rest of us were mostly laughing.

Izzie595 · 24/03/2015 20:36

Ooh do we all need to check our inboxes Green?

greenberet · 24/03/2015 20:38

lol just had a coffee!

bobs123 · 24/03/2015 20:40

And... Who with.....what was he like....feel a bit like it's pulling teeth here SmileSmile

Izzie595 · 24/03/2015 20:40

Is coffee a euphemism??

greenberet · 24/03/2015 20:42

isnt it funny how they can suddenly turn into the concerned parent - didn't notice him taking heed of anything the joint counsellor said or listening to the mediator about keeping communication open and "parenting for life" - cant answer any bloody emails I send but can suddenly draft & think of all these stupid questions - err did you actually ask the kids what they thought

greenberet · 24/03/2015 20:43

off thread ladies!!!

Hobbitwife001 · 24/03/2015 20:43

I am going to get my pliers from the shed Green
You have been warned!

Izzie595 · 24/03/2015 20:44

Never mind the kids!!

Did you have a latte, decaf.....and did you accompany it with a panini or a nice gooey cake ??

Izzie595 · 24/03/2015 20:45

Wey hay......

iwashappy · 24/03/2015 20:52

Green hope you had a lovely "coffee." Waiting for the red dot on the inbox...

Regarding his email just reply that the answer to questions 1-25 inclusive is that the children are fine and well cared for which he knew anyway

Izzie595 · 24/03/2015 20:52

Well I've just googled. I never knew that was possibleGrin

greenberet · 24/03/2015 20:53

i think i must have this process wrong somewhere - I thought the idea was for everyone to be happy and everything to be fair - seems its all weighted in TWUNTS favour only!

greenberet · 24/03/2015 20:54

do you think they can tell when the P is being taken?

Izzie595 · 24/03/2015 20:57

do you think they can tell when the P is being taken?

No
