My mum is dying and my ex is still hassling me.

[southernharp]

My mum is dying on the other side of the world. I am catching a plane in a few hours. The hospital says that they hope she will wait for me. I have a 38 hour journey ahead of me. My kids need some new uniform items and I was planning to get these next week. Now I can't so I said to my ex could he sort these. Within 5 mins of ordering them on line, he was asking me for $300 for my share. And then he put it up to $500 so he could 'sort out shoes,'. (Shoes not needed). I asked to see the breakdown of costs and he argued and argued and called me all sorts. Eventually he sent me his receipts for $330 IN TOTAL.. he is a tosspot isn't he?!

Just tell him if he can't manage to pay for them to just keep them off school til you return.
He will find the cash!!
Fingers crossed you make it in time op.

Much worse than a tosspot. Really sorry about your mum and hope that you get to see her.

So sorry to hear about your mum. Ignore the idiot focus on what is really important right now. I really hope you get their big hugs for you

So not only was he trying to get you to pay for all the uniform costs, he was also hoping to make $170 from you when your mum is dying. And calling you names. I can see why he is your ex.

Sorry about your mum

He is. Ignore him completely. He can sort it out.

I wish you a pleasant flight and I hope you get to your mum safely. Sending you a hug. (And do talk to the cabin crew if you feel like it - I'm crew, and we often get people travelling for similar reasons. We're always there with an ear and a cup of tea if you're feeling upset..).

Ignore him and sort it out when you get back. So sorry about your mum
