my first day of not having to go to work on a sunday turned into a nightmare.
first my ex hammering on door, wanted to come into the house but i refused him entry, and tried to speak to him outside, but he decided to use the girls as pawns in that it was what they wanted and when they both came out he decided to get them to back him up, as i pointed out to him they were not happy with the way he spoke and treated me so he decided to say "ok girls see you when your 16 if you can be bothered to look for me", and walked off leaving me with the tears to mop up. then the phonecalls and text saying i was being stupid and pathetic and that he would go down other channels to see the girls, told him to go right ahead and do it good luck to him if he could find any court that would give him permission to see the girls in my house without my permission. he can see the girls any time he likes as long as its away from me.
i then had both my girls and 14 year old grandson deciding to make a veg plot at the side of my house, i was just given the orders of netting and canes and seeds, lol told them i didnt mind them doing this as long as it was done properly lol. i ended up with dirty footprints through the house and handprints up the walls and doorframes, but at least i got my ironing done in peace.
then my washer decided to play games and not empty, after twice doing the usual opening and letting the water out along with a penny and 5 pence piece i thought great fixed but nooo i then noticed greasy fatty deposits on the glass door, ended up being that someone accidently knocked a jug of fat i had drained from the minced beef last night, into the sink before it had gone solid, this then had solidified in the outlet pipe thereby stopping the water draining. a kettle of hotwater down the pipe solved the problem but left me with a dozen soaking wet towels and hours behind on my jobs no sunday roast just chicken and chips for tea.
ex has since decided to speak to girls and organised a trip bowling for next sunday so he is now the good guy and im the bad guy (again)

Oh Tracy sorry to hear you have had a bad day not what you want on your day off. It really is wrong of your ex to use the kids as pawns. Just hope as they grow up they will come to realises who is the good guy and who is trying to buy them!!

Sounds like you have had a terrible day Tracey, hope the rest of the week will only get better

Tracey, so sorry your day off was not what you hoped it would be, still it is only Monday and the only way is UP .Your ex was wrong to use the kids as pawns , if this continues, when they are older they will tell him what they think of him and vote with their feet. xx Doreen

I really feel for you Tracey as I have a ex that likes to try using my girls against me too. The last time it was that we were struggling with money(10 times worse at the moment than it was then) and he wanted money towards their school uniforms.Bearing in mind I still have one daughter that we have to supply clothes for anyway as she isn't his I thought he was taking the pee a bit. After about 2 dozen text messages he eventually conceded the point that we really couldn't afford to pay towards their uniforms but turned round and told me to start saving for their weddings instead.
Sometimes you just wish they'd jump off a cliff.......or that someone would give them a ruddy great shove!
Hope you've calmed down now anyway. Look after yourself

sounds like you had a terrible day.
i hope the rest of your week is better.
sending you hugs
