My ex cancelled on our kids for Christmas grrrrr

[JayhawkGirl]

I’m so sorry. What a shitty dad.

[flamingeaux]

I'm so sorry for them. What a fucknut.

[Deleted]

What a dickhole, but I am glad you'll have that extra time with them.

I would definitely treat them to something fun like a movie on Xmas day.

[yourmother]

Holy crap. What a piece of shit.

How old are your kids?

Silver lining you get your kids for Christmas. Hopefully y’all can do something super special together.

[nextbigthing]

I'm so sorry.

My sorry XH bailed too. I told him exactly what I thought of him.

I'm glad to have DS for Christmas but I hate the disappointment I have to prep for as he gets older.

I hope you guys are able to have fun and have a wonderful Christmas!

[Deleted]

I'm sorry My exH is a huge dicknut too. Silver lining and all that, but at least now you get to spend extra time with your kids for the holiday. It still sucks for them though, breaks my heart.

[newnamesameperson]

I am sorry you are having to deal with this. What a jerk. .

[shamrockshake]

Omg i want to punch him for his reply to you 😡 what a fucking dick

[sapphireblue]

That's terrible. When was he planning to tell them/you?

I am so sorry.

[amandakisser]

OMG, the whole, "they understand" comment is actually causing me heart palpitations. They understand, alright. They understand that their dad would rather spend time with anyone else other than them on fucking Christmas. I'm so sorry for your kids.

[imojoebunny]

You deserve a box of chocolates, a masseuse, and a good bottle of wine for not coming through the phone and biting his ear off, like Mike Tyson, when he made this comment after your kind offer. "The kids understand. No need for you to try to invent alternative plans."

I am sorry he is letting his kids down. Wishing you, and the kids, the Merriest of Christmases with good friends and family.

[skidunks]

That’s horrible, I’m so sorry. I hope you have a great Christmas with your kids!

[blondemoment123]

How awful. Those poor kids

[icedcoffee]

What a dick. I'm sorry. I hope you and your kids can do something fun together.

[lilac05]

I'm sorry. That's awful.

[jeaniebueller]

I am sorry. What a fucking asshole

[ThirdandLong]

I'm so sorry, OP. My ex SIL pulls this crap. All we can do is comfort the kids, come up with little special things to try to soothe their feelings - lots of extra hugs, cocoa with marshmallows, cooking together, family games, snuggle up reading stories. But sooner or later, they have to know their crappy parent's true colors. It's painful to witness, but the kiddos know who loves them and is there for them always and who is not.

[BaliHai]

I'm so sorry.

[killercupcake]

“The kids understand” sent me from angry into a full on rage.

Fuck. That. Guy.

[fivechickens]

What a complete fucking piece of shit dickhole.

[clippy]

what a dick-wad! I'm so sorry.

[mrssandro]

Sounds like my dad.

Fuck him. Sooner or later the kids will figure it out. It took me and my bro a long time to realize what a loser our father is. We are so over his shit.

[readyin07]

Ditto to all the other comments. Fuck him. I hope he gets diarrhea for Christmas. One awesome parent is enough. I promise you. But someone should punch him in the face.

[sweetchix]

What an ass. I’m sorry. I hate that your kids are hurting because of their asshat of a father.

[jennistarr1]

I'm steamy about my BIL choosing his other family...I'll check my privileged ass at the door and join everyone in their rage against your ex. I honestly don't know how you make this better for you kids other than being the great mom that you are.

[textbookcase]

Ugh, I'm sorry. That's so shitty.

[1confused1]

I'm so sorry.

[bex1973]

Invent alternative plan?!?!? Fuck him. I'm sorry he's such an ass. I'm pissed off for you!

[esdreturns]

Ugh I am so pissed for you so I can only imagine how you feel. I'm so sorry your kids were hurt by this asshole.

[zitiqueen]

Did he actually tell them he wasn't coming or did he make you do it? What an asshole.
