DH’s Ex Wife MOVING IN???

Oh. My. God.
Seriously..I don’t even know where to start.
Ok, backstory

DH’s kids moved in with us last year, as their Mum moved abroad to be with a man she met online. She’d onlyknown him 3 months.

Things are JUST starting to get good with DH’s kids, they are settled into a routine after a year and a bit, and our (SC and I) relationship is really starting to form.

Today, DSD (14) excitedly says that their Mum told them that she is MOVING IN WITH US!
Apparently things haven’t worked out with her boyfriend abroad, and she gave up her Housing Association house to move abroad, so has nowhere to return to.

Excuse me while I pour a whole bottle of wine into 1 glass.

Hahahahha. Really? Who owns the house?

catbellz · 17/07/2020 18:53

Well it's just not happening. End of! Why on earth would you entertain the idea?
Is your Dh aware of this plan. If he's in anyway supporting of it I think your marriage is over.

helpmum2003 · 17/07/2020 18:54

Oh no, it has to be a joke or is she a CF? What did DH say?

PotteringAlong · 17/07/2020 18:55

Well just say no, surely?

RedRumTheHorse · 17/07/2020 18:57

Just say "No"

I suspect your DH won't entertain it either unless he wants another ex wife...

DameHannahRelf · 17/07/2020 18:58

Moving in, or staying for a while until a rental is ready?

FelicityPike · 17/07/2020 18:58

Have you spoken to your husband?
I wouldn’t jump to conclusions without speaking to him first.

Bookaholic73 · 17/07/2020 18:58

Lol, DH and I both looked at each other like ‘what the fuck!’

So he is on the phone to his ex wife now, telling her that it’s not going to happen.
She says that he has a respond to her since she had his children.

It’s just hysterical that she thinks this is OK! Especially to tell the kids this, when they were just coming to terms with her abandoning them.

Sorry, I meant to say that she is saying my DH has a responsibility to her, since they had kids together.

Agree with all the others.

I'd have laughed out loud and said, No, she's absolutely NOT! What a daft idea!

People (and definitely ex-wives) don't get to announce - particularly via someone else - that they are moving into your house..

SunshineCake · 17/07/2020 19:00

She is going about it all wrong. Ask to move in to the spare room until she finds somewhere. Ok. But says he has to house her because he productively shagged him years ago? No.

WannabeJolie · 17/07/2020 19:02

How entitled is she? And she just went abroad and left the kids? Has she seen them within the 3 months? Absolutely mad!

@SunshineCake

The answer would still be ‘not a fucking chance’ but at least asking would be nice.

top marks for excellent thread
TBF have to admire her for her sense of entitlement .
I feel this won't be happening lol

Bookaholic73 · 17/07/2020 19:06

No. She told them at the last minute, sold everything in their house, binned all of their baby stuff, and disappeared.

She has only Skyped/video called them once apart from today.

What’s a CF?

Well I'm glad you're on the same page. At least it's just soooo very batshit that whoever she tells will laugh her out of the room too. It's not really something she can twist! Although she sounds the type to try

SunshineCake · 17/07/2020 19:08

Yes, asking okay. Not suggesting you have to or should say yes!

She isn't mum of the year is she?SadAngry.

catbellz · 17/07/2020 19:08

Cf = Cheeky Fucker

Yankathebear · 17/07/2020 19:08

She abandoned her children and now wants to move in? Er no

SunshineCake · 17/07/2020 19:08

CF - cheeky fucker.

Pebblexox · 17/07/2020 19:09

Hahahahah no. That's all I could possibly think to say.

underthesunagain · 17/07/2020 19:10

Poor children being caught up in this. What a terrible situation.

84claire84 · 17/07/2020 19:10

Dear Lord

Absolutely fucking NOT

Get a second bottle of wine OP, I've a feeling you'll need it tonight

Spartak · 17/07/2020 19:14

I never thought there would be a time when I would post this line but no is a complete sentence.

Cheeky cow.
