The only response here, when in person rather than point-scoring via text, is to remind him that the number to call in an emergency is 999.

This!!!

I’ve been thinking about this, and although I can see what you mean, in this case I disagree. @mummy917 hasn’t told him about the night away and as far as I can tell she will be fully contactable throughout the evening. He is just on a fishing expedition.

She has no idea where he is on his 50% and if he is contactable or not.

In an emergency they both have parental responsibility and if they can’t get hold of the other one should proceed as appropriate.

I think it is playing into his game to answer his questions.

@mummy917 I hope you are having a lovely stress-free weekend full of laughter and maybe the odd cocktail. You so deserve this!

And Twatoo cocktail sausage so deserves what he has … which is Not A Lot, and definitely not what he thought he was getting.

Incidentally, I was on holiday in Norfolk recently and drove past an emporium bearing the title ‘Mattressman’. I could barely contain my laughter!

Best thread title ever.

Agree 😁

meercat23 · 18/10/2026 22:04

Hope your weekend went well and that Twatoo didn't do anything to disrupt it.

Hats off the poster in the previous thread.
I hope you had a brilliant weekend @mummy917

He didn’t ruin my night and I completely let my hair down 😊

Delighted to hear you had a great time, uninterrupted by There We Are Then.

Well, I hope that's a harbinger of things to come. I mean, I doubt it but we can always hope.

I was thinking exactly the same, perhaps he's starting to accept the new normal. I also doubt it, but fingers crossed!

I wondered that too. Fingers crossed it continues.

This is great, I'm so glad you had a good time. I've been following since your first thread and it's amazing to see how far you've come. Did he try to quiz you any more about where you were/who you were with?!

mummy917 · 23/10/2026 15:15

I also hope it’s a sign of things to come.

I do have a funny story from this morning when he dropped the kids back off. He was going to get his tattoo touched up (same old same old 🙄) so dropped them back off after he took the oldest 2 to school and a parcel I'd ordered from Savage x Fenty was being delivered and the delivery man handed it to him as he was at the door at the same time 🤣 I wasn’t quizzed anymore about the night out I had last weekend, but did ask who I’d bought that for 🤣

I do hope you told him it was none of his businesse 😂

ItsCloudyToday · 23/10/2026 15:21

Love it! Bet he’ll be ruminating on that all weekend now 🤣

MargoisanA1arsehole · 23/10/2026 15:30

I had to google Savage x Fenty! Now I get why he was asking! (As if it’s his business…😉)

LastOnePlease · 23/10/2026 15:32

POETIC. Brilliant, OP! His face must have been a picture. It will be driving him mad that he doesn't know. Shame you were so controlling and determined to run his life for him isn't it...I am sure you have been asking him where he is when he's not the kids... not.

mummy917 · 23/10/2026 15:33

Hahaha I did have a little giggle to myself once he’d left 🤣

Jesus! It is still all about him. Well, in his mind rather than the real world!

SoftSpotForDandelions · 23/10/2026 15:59

Very funny update! I can imagine his face. Ah reading that was a little bit of brightness on this very rainy day

ItsCloudyToday · 23/10/2026 16:13

What did you actually say when he asked that question?

lessglittermoremud · 23/10/2026 16:16

Had to google it but I’m so glad he witnessed that being delivered 🤣
Did you just raise an eyebrow and continue on with the conversation and ignore the question or did you tell him to mind his own business?!

Delphiniumandlupins · 23/10/2026 16:23

Also had to Google it. What a timely delivery! Hope you bought something nice.
