Because your children's school uniform is not my responsibility!

Grrr... sorry just having a moan. He'll get moaned at by the ex for not doing it but that doesn't mean I am his PA. He's also forgotten to make sure they have their homework..

Please don't fall into the trap of starting to remind him to prevent his strops. He needs to learn to remember things for himself.

definitely not ever going to do that. I'm busy enough as it is remembering what I need to remember. He's just had a ranty text. Deservedly so.

Men! I had this once "why didn't you remind me they'd need a packed lunch for school" ermm because they are not my children and I am not here to think about every single thing for you and them. My son has school dinners so packed lunches wasn't even on my radar!

@CowsAreNotGreen crazy isn't it. I soon put him straight and now he makes sure we have the food they want. Some men want to just let the woman deal with all that, but I refuse to "parent" his two. I have my own 2 and ones a 15 month d and I work 4 days. No way! Lol

I'm similar, have DC and work of my own to sort out.

He's asked me to post the homework.. I have given him a stamp and told him to sort it himself. I don't want the DSC to "suffer" but it does them no good to see their dad delegate things to me.
