Anyone else feel like they got all the crap while the ex gets to play? mydarkdreams: I think I am pretty tired of the ex being able to come and go on a whim.. having no real responsibility while I am very limited. Now there's not a whole lot to do around here, but it would be nice to just pick up and go.
I am going to a concert next weekend, so i have arranged for my older two kids to go with my aunt and told the ex that he would have my 4 year old as I really needed a break and he agreed. So yesterday, I remind him (for the zillionth time) that next Friday he has Draven and I will not be around as I will be going to a concert. His reply is Friday?! I say yes, I told you weeks ago and have reminded you since.. He says Friday is my night off!! EVERY night is your night off, moron, so this is MY TURN!
I said what do you need me to find another arrangement for our son because you feel its your night off? He said no, he is his son and he'll take care of it.
Definately rubbed me wrong though. Our WHOLE relationship he has gone out EVERY SINGLE FRIDAY NIGHT.. whle I sit home with the kids and responsibility - it's high time he help with his son so I can do other things. He chose to leave! (while it is best, it was HIS choice, and he can deal with taking his son one night so I can go do something!)
Re:Anyone else feel like they got all the crap while the ex gets to play? SrABlue: Oh yes, Im sitting here with the kids as the past weekends, while my other half goes out till 0400 partying. Her response is always "youre not doing anything, they are your children"...Last time time I checked it took 2 people to make babies. >:(

I am *SO* with you.. and in getting left with the kids you get left with all the bills etc too. Fun *groan*. Though, honestly, I don't WANT him to take my son and he WILL NOT.. but it's just really unfair he gets off completely scott free - and always has. Bah.
*mutteR*
It'd even be nice if I had someone to just come watch a movie with me at home. Pfft.
Re:Anyone else feel like they got all the crap while the ex gets to play? twobeautifulkids: Ahhh yes. I feel this way. Actually I told him pretty much that I was left with all the responsibilities and he gets to do as he pleases except for an hour or two a week and every other weekend. He's loving life, while I'm trying to figure out how to juggle all my additional responsibilities. He gets to be the "fun dad" while I'm the boring, disciplinarian mom. >:(
Re:Anyone else feel like they got all the crap while the ex gets to play? sacoderisa: well, isn't this my post...I was about to write it! She left me with all the bills, she borrowed me money when we were still togheter because she needed to pay for repairs to her car, so i took a loan and told her to pay for it.......3 months she didn't pay, i told her i was going to pay cuz it was going against my credit, and that she should pay me as soon as she got paid........SHE QUIT HER JOB!!!. Now i am so screwed, i have my student loans, credit card bills, phone. you name it, I have to pay it. And to end it all. Tonight while I am here in front of the computer, when all my family is enjoying a nice day, I am here with my daughter, and although is nice to have her here, it pisses me off that x is out tonight partying. It just blows, like the famous philosopher Chris Rock said, " If you don't feel like commiting murder, you haven been inlove".
