Funny that when things get bad there is always something else waiting to kick you in the teeth.  Big hugs Miss D.

Not sure really ...he has cancelled his maintainence payments for The Brat because he feels he has 'done enough' now  noooo: . Oh but the killer, the absolute corker , was that he wanted to voice his parental concern that I was neglecting her and she was spending too much time on her own !  How has he come to this conclusion ......apparently it is what he believes ...what a complete ****** !

My Eldest Daughter had similar with her first husband.... My advice was to send the child to live with him on the grounds that she had brought her up thus far and now it was his turn. The mere threat was enough to ensure reinstatement of maintenance. It certainly worked better than the threats to return to Court/CSA etc. that she had made during the rows over it.
Risky strategy perhaps but it might work. Good luck anyway.

I detect the words of another wummun behind him. That was the case with Eldest Daughter's ex.

But if he thinks, as he claims, that you haven't made a good job of bringing her up then turn the tables and suggest he tries to do better. Put up or shut up is the line to take.

The thing is she is nearly 16 , he knows there is no way in hell she will stay with him . He rang her on Friday night when I was out at the theatre. He asked madam if I was coming home at all that night  eeek:. Like I don't come home most nights  noooo: noooo: noooo: 

It really does make my blood boil. How the hell he thinks I am accountable to him for what my plans are I really don't know. Much of this stems from me asking him to look after madam whilst I went to Turkey for 6 days. Honestly the amount of aggro from both of them - her because she didn't want to stay with him and him because it was affecting his 'on call' shifts at work. I am soooooooooo sorry for any inconvenience caused. 6 days in a whole frickin year !!

I often dream of 'freedom' in the sense that I can make choices and not consider the needs of any other individual. But I accept my responsibilities and my duties  and know that I don't want to wish my time away with madam as it will all be too soon before she has left home.

What I really crave is not to have to any dealings , discussions or parenting lectures from some bloke who sees her now every 3 weeks or so for a Sunday afternoon , that thinks he has all the answers and that deserves some father of the feckin year award because he has managed to maintain contact with his daughter and has paid some maintenance up to this point. "I am better than most fathers in this situation " he says. Glad that he feels he has "done enough now "

Still seething ...sorry  redface:

No munny = No access and no say in matters. Point that out to him.







Oh! And tell her he no longer cares.

What Snoops said. It prolly is his other half that is behind it. Certainly was in my case. They wanted a family, your ex's partner was pregnant.  From mine, they could not possibly pay for his first two children as they had a child of their own to bring up.

Take time to cool down, try and put aside the hurt and decide your course of action.  There will be one. Carefully thought out by you, that will give him the biggest kick in the bollocks that he deserves.

Keep The Brat informed. Oh and  happy100 happy100

Today I will mostly be trying to remove dried in pasta and tomato sauce from the carpet and a chair. After that I have to deal with the still wet tomato bits and pair of wet tomatoey  trousers in the shower.  This following Mr C's major incident during the course of supper last night. He has gone out leaving me to deal with the mess.
I then have to deal with one of my plastic clog things that I was wearing in the garden yesterday, that which I thought was soggy grass clipping was in fact a huge slug.  I did not have my trusty Slugpoon to hand. I may be gone a while.evil:

Snoopy and Miss C have the right of it. His new woman is driving here.

If you want to send them a DS "Slurry Surprise" I will do it for 20% off under the circumstances.
