Just Wait Til Father's Day

[AshleyAnn]

exDH managed to make me cry on Mothers Day. Ruined an otherwise perfect day.

He texts me at 2:45 today if I had plans for DD. I tell him my plans and ask him why he wanted to know. Apparently he wants to take her to see his mother at 6. I HATE when he springs plans on me at the last minute but its mothers day and his mom hasnt see DD in at least a month so fine. He asks me to drop her off around 5:30.

I get to his moms at 5:40 and his mom invites me in to wait on him. We make ackward conversation, I havent seen them in at least a year and they know we are at each others throats. After an hour of waiting I text him. He's 'on his way' he shows up 45 minutes later (its under 15 minute drive). So then I get escorted out of the house since we dont get along with the instructions to be back before 8 to pick her up. Ok its already after 6 in a small town, WTH am I supposed to do? I ended up at target. I bought a tube of toothpaste and some allergy meds. I left target and decided it was close enough to 8 to get DD. I go to get DD and discover that exDH has taught her to make two new stupid noise and a naughty words. I ask him carry her to the car because its raining. She is 2 and fights getting strapped in her car seat. He made to meager attempts, yells at her to "STOP" then when she doesnt yell at me I should be helping and slams the door making my DD cry and storms back into the house. So I got to strap a screaming upset toddler into a car seat in the pouring rain. No "happy mothers day". No thanks for driving her across town on short notice. Nada. Typical for him but still it sucks that he cant be bothered to recognize I am raising his child.

He wants me to give him slack because hes working. Well I'm working 60 hrs a week, going to school half time, a single mom to a toddler, and I have a social life (kinda) wheres my slack buddy?

Sorry he ruined your day! I hope Karma bites him hard.

You're not his lackey.. What an immature jerk. Next time he can do pick up and drop off

[Liziz]

What a jerk. So sorry!

[OKKiddo]

You did an awesome job. Your ex MIL even did a great job from the sounds of it--she was at least appreciative. I probably would have left with my child after a visitation with her because the day was for MOMS not for a very unappreciative, rude, verbally abusive ex DH. I would not have taken him yelling at my child. And you were out of her routine (dinner, bath, bed) of course she was going to act like a 2 year old. What was his excuse?

Just re-read your post again. You mean to tell me that you arrived at his mother's home at 5:40, at 6:40 you texted him, at 7:25 he finally shows up and wants you to be back before 8? I'm serious, you are being too nice! He arrived at almost 2 hours after you did (2 hours after he asked you to be there). Inexcusable.

He is a mean man. I guess there's a reason he's your ex, and good for you.

Sorry he ruined the day.

[KrisM]

I'm sorry. What a bad situation. I too can't believe he arrived 2 hours late! How awful.

Sorry it ruined the day, but now you have a nice track record to go back on why you can say "No, that doesn't work with my day" next time...
