Hi Swirly sorry you're in a position to join us, but welcome. You'll get lots of support here, and hopefully a few laughs. We specialise in ranting and having rude nicknames for our exes, so jump on in !! Your situation sounds exhausting. What's your position as regards residency/contact with your dc?
Mysinking hi again. I know, thread 3, mad isn't it ?!
Thanks to all for the stocking ideas. Yes, maybe I should do the same for here. Their presents from me etc will be here, so it wouldn't look odd if they had stockings too. It won't be the same if he hasn't done it for xmas morning, but I have no other option.
As for the pompous ex, it does have it's advantages in my case. He makes a point of always being/bringing the dc back on time. He doesn't mess around with days and times etc. This is so he can show to me, and everyone else, what a good person/dad that he is. Rarely got back on time when I asked him to when we were together, work always too busy. Funnily enough he can do it now.
Fortunately he isn't seeing anyone. He's quite shy and doesn't do an awful lot so is unlikely to meet anyone. As for OLD, if you knew him that would make you laugh out loud.
Greencar they must be twins ! Mine is an aggressive and sometimes irresponsible driver. It's the whole pride, don't give an inch mentality again. He once swerved the passenger side of the car (I was the passenger) towards another vehicle. I said wtf are you doing ? "I'm teaching him a lesson"
I said teach him a lesson when I'm not in the car and kill yourself, not me or the kids. He's had several accidents, a couple of road rage episodes, and the kids tell him to drive slower.
Frog Best of luck today. Will be channeling Queen your way: "We are the Champions" for you and "Another one bites the dust" for your WN.
