Rant about my ex wife

[Purple Dalek]

Chill BP, there is absolutely nothing you can do about it apart from whining so just forget about it.

The desire for control over your childrens upbringing when it is denied you is rather worrisome.

So just chill, let go, you'll feel so much better.

You're not a mate so what I should do is shut my mouth.

OK, as ever: what will be best for the kids? It is unlikely to be WW3.

Many thanks for all the messages of support above.

But expat made a really interesting point. I could have stopped my ex seeing the kids 2 years ago - I did not as I thought best for the kids.

Should I start WW3 and get the kids permanently? And the ex is scared of me - I **might** make a difference to her behaviour. It has in the past. I hate acting like a thug but will do so if it makes things better for the kids.

The kids whine alot about their mother - but sometimes we love those who mistreat us?

I think I am damned whatever I do!!

arrrggghhhhh

Have you thought that #1 son might just be pushing your buttons a tad?

Kids can be manipulative and play one parent off against another.

That doesn't mean what I think it does, does it?

It was bad enough having my ex-wife whine at my daughter after she spilt food on her clothes at a party(she is 6 years old - she spills food - what a suprise) and the kids tell me she makes them wear dirty clothes.

Now my son is a bit ill (being sick every few hours - though gradually getting better). He is off school today - and getting stressed as "Mummy will make me go to school even if I am ill".

Relations between me and the ex have been good over the last year (we merely shout at each other).

My gf wants me to say nothing and keep the peace. I suppose she is right but I am not happy. I have said if there is ANYTHING else I am going to kick off WW3.

Apologies for the rant - you can all get back to your discussions about house prices now.

BP
PS I do know how much her house is worth - I ****ing paid for it.

Just be there for the kids, do not let them see you have any anger towards your ex as she will proabably use that against you.

Sorry to hear Brillo. I would listen to the girlfriend, women know best

G/F BP is super sensible... listen to her.

That would have been far more interesting if I cared in the least.

Stop being such a gimp.

This is indeed very true.

In this case he is clearly ill - but he could be manipulating over his mother.

I know bit over clothes is true as the ex said it in front of me! Who whines about washing childrens' clothes? gggrrrrrrrrr

I don't do advice on internet message boards.

However, good luck with sorting things out.
