Plans for next Saturday

My x did it again...

Even though I have stressed that taking him to, and picking him up from, airports was one perk he lost when he decided he didn't want to be married anymore, he asked... in front of daughter. It is a 2 hour drive EACH way!!!

He does that on purpose, so that she is on his side... I said "exs don't drive exs to airports", but d said, "friends drive friends". Grrrr....

I am going to a game next Saturday (Sens vs Habs) and I gave 2 tickets to a co-worker who is a huge Habs (gag!!!) fan. Maybe I'll tell x they want me to go for beer before the game.

I left it at the non-committal "we'll see..." I hate to lie, or get into it in front of d, so does anyone want to get together next Saturday so I don't have to lie????

he set you up. next time he asks you ANYTHING in front of kids, answer, can we talk about this later? and change the subject. Tell him to drive his own butt to the airport and also it's good you posted here, because essentially doing that in front of the kids is manipulation.

OMG! Where does he get his nerve! I could never ask something like that of an ex!
I don't think I could have responded at all if I were you, I would have been too shocked!

dont lie, just say no, he is being manipulative to do this in front of your daughter. tell him asap, you thought about it and no, your not doing it. call him when your daughter is not there. tell your daughter sometimes friends do do things for each other and sometimes they do not.

He's a manipulator! This is a manditory course for all stbx's. Why do you think he does this in front of your D? He knows exactly what he's doing. You need to just say no. You are not his taxi service. Get involved with something so you won't need to lie. What a total loser.

Yea manipulated here too. X came to pick up the kids and didn't know what to do with them. I said they need new shoes. He ask I'm not sure about how to do that won't you come with me. In front of the kids. I looked at him and said NO! Stupid @$$ can't even shoe shop with out me holding his hand.

Call a friend and start christmas shopping early. Then you'll have plans. Men they think they can rip our hearts out and will be friends the next day. For get that!

I would love to if I could. I agree don't lie and tell him no. He should accept it and find another way.

As it turns out, the game is afternoon, and his flight is at 4pm, so he is renting a car and driving himself.

He didn't believe me that I had tickets, and then that it was in the afternoon...
I will stress to him not to ask again, and especially not in front of our daughter.

Thanks all!!!

You should have no problem telling the truth..."Get a taxi Mister!"

...and you dont have to explain it.

Daughter will be fine. She will understand once she gives it some thought.

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
