Husbands say the darndest things!
So SD had a great time on Saturday despite not wanting to attend my parent's fall party originally. She spent the night and we BBQed yesterday with our friends and their daughter (SD's new friend). It wasn't DH's weekend so we get SD 3 weeks in a row.. Yay!
As we're finishing up dinner DH tells SD that BM will pick her up in about 10 minutes. DH made ribs and they're SD's favorite so I packed 2 for her lunch and some pumpkin pie (her other favorite). I tell him that SD is all set (because I don't want BM hanging around our friends with her two-faced self) and my H seriously looks at me and says "I told BM I'd send a plate for them"- meaning BM and her baby daddy.
I look him straight in the eye (company is still over) and say "I need to take lunch tomorrow". He knows we are on a limited budget. He says again, except a little agitated, that he said he's sending a plate. I sit down and say "ok,dear, I'll let you deal with that".
He calls for SD who still can't pack her own lunch at 12 years old thinking she'll make BM a plate. We've shown her many times how to make a to-go plate but you can lead a horse to water but can't make it drink. Guess what? SD said all she needed was her leftovers for lunch and her pie. Bwahaha! Silly husband. Why even offer BM food when they've more than likely had dinner by 8:30pm? Neither he nor SD cared to make a plate so why should I? Besides, BM sure hasn't ever been concerned about providing her leftovers for our house.

Your husband offered food
Your husband offered food from your table to his ex wife and her new man?
Yes! I guess for letting him
Yes! I guess for letting him have SD on her weekend- of course she doesn't mind giving up her time to still receive CS. The best part is he wasn't willing to make the plate himself and SD is probably the laziest kid I know.
Yeah, that's a bit much,
Yeah, that's a bit much, offering to make her a plate. If my DH ever said that to me - in front of company no less - I'm not sure what I would do. I commend you for keeping your cool.
That's hilarious!
That's hilarious!
So he not only wanted to give
So he not only wanted to give his ex and her boyfriend food from your party, but he wanted you to make the plate? I hope you had a "come to Jesus" with him after everyone left.
I think he felt stupid after
I think he felt stupid after the fact that it came down to him or SD doing the work and no one cared enough to execute it.
Oh, I'd make her a
Oh, I'd make her a plate....let the dog luck it. Dropped ribs in the yellow spot of the grass. Perhaps some soap under the pie to get things moving....
you forgot to add a bit of
you forgot to add a bit of rat poison, not enough to kill just to make her feel uncomfortable lol....
How would I handle that? How
How would I handle that? How would anyone? Ok dear, its my pleasure to fix up a plate for BM and her boyfriend. Next year we should just invite them. Then proceed with the above plans with rat poisoning (only enough to induce vomiting)
Seriously, I would be pissed.
I would've brought it up
I would've brought it up later but he knows I don't hate anybody but I hate BM completely with every ounce of my being. I prepared SD's lunch which I didn't have to do. I didn't tell BM I'd send food and my lazy husband wasn't willing to do it so too bad, so sad. The leftovers were great! Plus, I think he was a bit embarrassed at the request because he probably realized BM would never consider feeding us if the tables were turned.
Maybe he wanted to show off his cooking because SD says dad's ribs are better than the boyfriend's.. I don't know. BM hardly eats anyway so she'd probably have just thrown them away. I can't tell you how many leftovers we've sent with SD only to learn that BM threw them out. Don't get me started on dishes. I sent SD with my purple Rachel Ray bowl that my mom got me for Xmas only to never see the dang thing again. DH asked BM about it but she "couldn't find it".
Ummmm no. No. No. No. That's
Ummmm no. No. No. No. That's really all... Like seriously. It's your EX. Communication should only be based solely on the Skids And even then it really should only be when absolutely necessary out of respect for your WIFE. Mine has similar issues with division... I don't get why they don't see it... Good luck. I'm sorry he's being a brat about this...
I've gotten onto him before
I've gotten onto him before for "too much information" exchanged. Not because I'm controlling, but because it's completely unnecessary and gives BM a false sense of friendship. When the work wound up on him or the kid, BM suddenly didn't need a plate. I would've given him a piece of my mind if we didn't have company.
You're a bigger person than
You're a bigger person than me bc if my SO told me to prepare the EXW a plate of food I would have laughed in his face in front of any one in the area.
Oh my friend has a BM like
Oh my friend has a BM like mine and she just gave me that look when I sat back down and told him to deal with it. DH decided BM didn't need a plate after all.
