Going to the school to see my girls

662 replies

Pisssssedofff · 07/12/2016 13:50

DD2 and DD3 ... The school have told me that they will have to inform ex I am going because they are aware the girls have been staying with him. Despite me having the court order to say they live with me. He's not even on their bloody birth certificates !
That can't be right surely ?
If he's there I'm just going to say hi and walk off ...

I still need to wake up to him though if he wants a wee or a drink which he invariably does most nights.

LIZS · 08/12/2016 12:00

At 6 he can take himself for a wee or fetch a drink. He needs to be in his own bed, but I suspect this is more about your comfort than his. I assume you plan to avoid yet another professional piece of advice re. Pills.

Newbrummie · 08/12/2016 12:04

He's upstairs I'm downstairs, I don't think it's a great idea i'm out for the count when i'm the only on;y person in the house do you ? I have picked up the script and I will pop em tomorrow when he's at school and get a few hours then.

myoriginal3 · 08/12/2016 12:05

How do you co sleep with one upstairs and one downstairs? Grin

LIZS · 08/12/2016 12:05

What about dd 1 , isn't she in the same house?

HoopsandEverything · 08/12/2016 12:06

Taking sleeping tablets during the day is not going to help. You need to take them at night, to encourage you to get into good sleep hygiene habits.

Sleep at night is far more advantageous to a human being than sleeping during the day.

HoridHenryrules · 08/12/2016 12:07

None of my children would dare wake me up for me to take them to the toilet or a drink. The only time I will ever wake up is if they were sick all over the floor. They very rarely make it to the toilet.

HoridHenryrules · 08/12/2016 12:10

What about tablets for your mood. You don't have to take antidepressants you can buy natural drugs like St Johns Wort which is a herbal substitute.

PeteSwotatoes · 08/12/2016 12:10

The pills don't drug you, they just help you get off to sleep. It's no different to being normally asleep.

HoridHenryrules · 08/12/2016 12:11

Taking sleeping tablets in the day is not a good idea. They are meant for night time sleep.

HoopsandEverything · 08/12/2016 12:24

Is the early intervention service for mental health?

Offred · 08/12/2016 12:30

You told him you didn't want the children anymore. If my ex had told me that I sure as hell wouldn't have just sent them back, even without all the rest of the issues you clearly have, I would be concerned for their safety.

You are saying he is abusive and harmful to the children but you told him to take them away and that you didn't want them. I'm struggling to understand just how the things you have mentioned previously have caused you such distress that you would call an abuser to take your kids from you?!

This whole situation is a mess, which is at least 50% of your own making.

Offred · 08/12/2016 12:46

And I just want to say re this *Yesterday 18:02 Pisssssedofff

Those kids have had the best of everything since the day they were born and he's treated all of us like crsp for years. Got his mother to babysit them so he could fuck some tart in a hotel room.
They'll either work it out for themselves or not I guess*

You appear to have 'given' your children a lot of things and in return expected them to be exactly what you want them to be. You don't appear to have given them much love and you come across as deeply resenting them.

That is an appalling life for a child.

FourToTheFloor · 08/12/2016 13:08

I was reading your post yesterday thinking you sound like the poster Mosman however you sounded a little more calmer, even keeled as her.

You sound now ike you need help OP. With your dc, with your relationships and with how you treat life. You hated Aus, I remember because as an Aussie desperate to get back home at the time I read your posts and took offence to some of them. Now you want to return? You can't ping pong, it's not fair on your dc.

You also have numerous threads about kicking your 16 year old out and making her live in a flat on her own.

For the sake of your kids please get professional help for your mental health.

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/relationships/2546981-Ex-had-the-kids-for-two-weeks-daughter-ended-up-in-hospital?pg=1

Her daughter was sent to hospital nothing serious. Her DD was in the care of her father for 2 weeks. This has been an on going battle and her DD does want her father but he doesn't seem stable to look after a child.

HoridHenryrules · 08/12/2016 13:32

I wonder if ss are still involved?

HoridHenryrules · 08/12/2016 13:32

MN may have blocked her account now for returning back to the thread.

Manumission · 08/12/2016 13:37

For having multiple accounts horid? Is that what you mean?

TupsNSups · 08/12/2016 13:41

HoridHenryrules

Also on that thread her dd wanted to stay with her dad after op told her she was going to send her to live with him anyway but the op conveniently 'forgot' saying that to her.

She went on holiday for 2 weeks with her new boyfriend and sent the dc to her ex.

She even accuses the ex of lying about his girlfriend dying ffs.

She needs serious intervention, unfortunately it seems that no matter what advice she gets on these threads she takes none of it, its almost like she is addicted to the drama and quite happily will drag the kids along too for a ride on the drama train.

HoopsandEverything · 08/12/2016 13:51

horidhenry How do you know MN have blocked?

HoridHenryrules · 08/12/2016 13:55

That could be it Manumission. I got blocked it weren't my fault and I got questioned about why I had 2 accounts. I could only sign back to one of them.

I have to ask myself why does she want to be with her dad so much. Her son is to young to do anything about it. Her oldest dd has no choice but to live with her. What a sad state of affairs.

HoridHenryrules · 08/12/2016 13:56

She is not back is she and if they blocked her pisssssedofff account then they will block all her other accounts. It happened to me once.
