AIBU to tell DH to remove my email address from school list!

DSC started secondary last year, my husband has a habit of using my email address for things as he rarely checks his own whereas I use mine most days for things like work (self employed).

Anyway, he thought it appropriate without telling me to put my email address down for DSCs school communications and now, as well as getting bombarded with emails from our own kids childcare / school, I'm also getting emails left right and centre from DSCs school too. Their mum gets them as well I think.

Basically shit hit the fan recently as we all missed an email about a school trip and DSC couldn't go in the end because it was too late.

I'm fed up of having to go through these bloody newsletters and everything, AIBU to tell DH to remove my email address and either check his own or get their mum to sort it out.

Over emailing more like.
If neither of them are reading emails from their child's School, why in the name of fuck would the be watching for missives from OP?
So she would have to verbally inform, if not the ex then at least her DH. But then, having a penis he's not to be trusted to pass the message on to the parent in charge. So maybe she needs to stick a note through the door of the ex, too. Send a pigeon. Smoke signals.
Anything, ANYTHING, other than expect the parents of the child to read and take appropriate action on their own bloody emails.

I know ridiculous isn't it. He should be embarrassed he's outsourced this to OP.

I mean if he wasn't going to check the emails himself he should have just been honest with ex wife and then she would know she 100% has to keep on top of it herself.

Hahah my ex tried this with me so I said that's fine I will do 100% of admins re DD but you have to pay my going rate.

Funnily enough he found time to look and be on any important emails as much as me.

But as stated before I'm incredibly stubborn and refuse to be my ex's or my DH admin person for free.

OP, you landed some prizes there....two parents and neither can bother their arses keeping up with emails for their child.🙄

If you feel like a complete mug, ..........its because you are one.

You are being used.

So Mum AND Dad missed the email but somehow the shit hit the fan for you 🙄. Absolutely remove your email.

Blondeshavemorefun · 07/08/2022 21:55

You think the mum gets them

check with school that they send to her and then take your email off and add Dh email

be a third /emergency contact by phone if they can’t get hold of mum or dad and child is ill

but that’s it
