Sorry to be the bearer of bad news regarding MrsC.

Sorry folks - I'm bearing bad news.

MrsC aka TheFormidableMrsC has decided to go get a job and build herself a fantabulous career - at the grand old age of 40 something. Just like that - 'cos it's that easy, innit!

MrsC has told her eldest (not yet 18) to go find somewhere to live on her apprenticeship wage and put her little one into a children's home all because she wants to live an independent, self-respecting life: free of state-benefits, child/spousal maintenance (as if they are freely forthcoming), vomit, bed-time routines, homework, preparing school-uniform, laundry and cooking for hungry children and school opening/closing times. Not to mention the fact that there's only ever one shoe in the right place and she's dog-tired trying to determine the place of t'other one.

So she's given up parenting. As of now.

Just in case, you're not fathoming this, here's a depiction:

Also, she's decided to 'pimp out' her daughter to ensure that her elderly care home fees can be paid when the time comes, just in case her career doesn't take off and she can't build up a pension for herself like every other person does.

If you didn't laugh about responsibility, you'd cry.

And having a 50 page form to fill in to justify a carer's allowance of £34 a week for her son, who is not adapting well to moving schools, she's just about ready for all alternatives.

BREAKING NEWS: Father of child has decided mother of child must not know whether or not he turns up to collect child from school for his two hour contact session.

So she sits by phone waiting for school to call.

If you didn't laugh. You'd cry.

Totaltosser of the first degree.
One can only hope he gets his comeuppance by the bucketful very, very soon.

Thank goodness your children have such a brilliant mum.

Joke OP or not, what it parodies is exactly what these appalling men not really men do when they walk away from their families. "Oh woe is me," they wail. "My life is not the same. There's no time for Meeeeeeeee"

The OP simply reversed genders & roles:
MrsC has told her eldest (not yet 18) to go find somewhere to live on her apprenticeship wage and put her little one into a children's home all because she wants to live an independent, self-respecting life: free of state-benefits, child/spousal maintenance (as if they are freely forthcoming), vomit, bed-time routines, homework, preparing school-uniform, laundry and cooking for hungry children and school opening/closing times

It makes the inhuman behaviour and deeply selfish thinking of these men crystal clear.

Good luck Mrs C Flowers

TheFormidableMrsC · 03/10/2015 22:15

Everybody, absolutely everybody, thank you so much for such lovely and supportive posts! I know that the OP was probably lost on some and for good reason who the hell is MrsC but those of you who know my backstory have clearly appreciated WWK's intended to be humorous post and have responded accordingly.

I have stepped away from my threads, my husband (and OW) clearly need the oxygen getting off on them. I haven't posted all the recent twattish behaviour he has exhibited but I will tell you about one thing he's done which is send a link to my threads to the head teacher at DS's new school because I mentioned my meeting with the school welfare officer. This is fine. He clearly failed to realise that there is no way that those party to that information are NOT going to read the whole story. Massive own goal in my opinion.

Today he brought DS back nearly 40 minutes late, clearly wanting a reaction. He won't get one. If I am very concerned, I will call the Police and they can deal with it. DS was fine when he returned and despite normal post-contact behaviour, has finally settled to bed.

So, life goes on, I am divorced as most of you know, I just wish exH would accept that fact as I have no idea why he is so invested in what I am doing....silly arse Smile

Catzpyjamas · 03/10/2015 22:21

Hey MrsC, I see the fuckwitticism continues Hmm
KOKO

Lweji · 03/10/2015 22:21

He is probably so used to it that he can't function any other way.

BackInTheRealWorld · 03/10/2015 22:24

Fucking HELL what a crass thread title. Sorry I'm not on the in joke or the back story or what ever the hell this is but that thread title really sounded like a poster had died.
Big laughs for all of you in the know I'm sure but fucksake!

TheFormidableMrsC · 03/10/2015 22:34

BackInTheRealWorld...please don't take offence..none was intended and I didnt know about this until I saw it trending! WWK is a close and valued friend and her humour is not lost on those in the know. We're both long term MN'ers with "you couldn't make it up" threads...no intention to offend or upset...although I do get you...thanks for stopping by nonetheless Flowers

BoldFox · 03/10/2015 22:40

jeez relax!Brew saul goodman I like TheFMC, and it didn't occur to me that she was, you know, departed. I just clicked to see what was up.

ScrambledSmegs · 03/10/2015 23:20

He sent your threads to the HT? Grin

Bless him and his er, interesting choice of life partner. They really don't know how normal people would react to reading about their horrific behaviour to you and your family over these threads, do they?

Proof, if ever we needed any, that they are FUBAR.

TheFormidableMrsC · 03/10/2015 23:42

Bold...funny...thank you, it's just "what's up" as ever..Smile Wine.

Scrambled...no clearly not, can you imagine? They don't get it at all. I am absolutely sure it will make the staff room more exciting though [hmm. FUBAR indeed...Flowers

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 04/10/2015 01:20

Back - no laughs, actually because MrsC's situation is not a joke. Far far from it. But yes, those of us who do know her back story would not have jumped to the conclusion that she'd died, merely that the fuckwit ex had done something even more horrific than usual.

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 04/10/2015 01:21

And MrsC - I cannot believe that the wankstain thought it was a good idea to send a link for the history of his fuckwittery to the HT!! Beyond ridiculous. But yes, FUBAR and a massive own goal - hope it really is another nail in his coffin.

pointythings · 04/10/2015 13:38

Well, it was very helpful of him to inform the HT to fully and comprehensively as to what kind of parent he was going to be - I'm sure the school will now know exactly what they are dealing with. Really, Mr WT is to be commended for his supportive attitude, if only all parents were so open and honest with their DC's schools.

As you were.

RandomMess · 04/10/2015 13:47

Ah well some people never change do they! I too am fascinated to know why they are so hung up on what MrsC gets up to. The mind boggles as to why they care so much...

AcrossthePond55 · 04/10/2015 14:17

Why does he do it? Simples, he looks around himself and sees that his wonderful, shagtastical, perfect new life is ashes in his mouth. Then he looks at you and sees a beautiful, magical phoenix rising triumphantly from the ashes of the shitstorm of a life he created for you. How can this be? he thinks, followed by his puny penis brain saying 'I cannot allow this, she is supposed to be devastated and paralysed!'. And so he must try to make your life match the hell that is now his own life. What a sorry, sorry, little man!
