DP''s Ex - What Would Be An Emotionally Mature Way To Handle This?

**fionas** · March 29th, 2010, 10:00 PM

I love the fact that the emotionally mature forum has given me carte blanche to be very immature.

I could try DSD's line on her when we get telemarketers and that is to say "sorry, no English."

Now I can go away and think of lots of smartypants responses which, let's face it, is way more fun than sitting down and drafting an email explaining my feelings.

Sorry Fiona, I feel like I am crashing your thread now, and I am definately not laughing at you...but seriously Lulu

I can only give the excuse that in an hours time i am overdue and over it..is that acceptable.
She sneaks off and quietkly sits back in her corner ( I promise i won't be back in )

"is DSD there"

"yes, but I need you to help me fill out a survey first. Question one, 'are you a ****head?'

**Lulu** · March 29th, 2010, 10:07 PM

a) a partial dhead
b) a fulltime dhead
c) I'll ask my latest boyfriend

See this is much more fun!!!!!!!

Question 2

If you had not saved enough money for your daughter's airfare despite having 12 months notice, would you:

a) scrounge some off your elderly parents again, telling them a sob story about how child support has cleaned you out even though you've never paid a cent
b) get your ex to send half and refuse to sign paperwork that you'd previously agree to sign until he did so (so blackmail him basically)
c) offer your services as an erotic masseuse, then foolishly leave the computer on so your daughter can see that you're now a 52-year-old prostitute

Maybe we should move the thread...

oh geez - lemme at it, for a friend

In order to scam $$$ rather than actually getting a job do you -

a) fake a terminal illness in order to gain a holiday in QLD under the guise of "treatment".
b) race to declare your own father dead although only missing for a fortnight to claim his assets.
c) write a vitriolic letter to your ex reminding him how horrible he is for having 2 children with 2 different women, conveniently forgetting you have 3 children by 3 fathers - two of them brothers....whilst trying to claim child support even though NONE of your children are in your care.
d) all of the above

You ladies ROCK!

Great work Lulu - see after being on your therapy couch for an hour, I'm cured.

This approach works. I will just treat her as the dill she is (DP's ex, not Miss Lulu).

Question 3

An ideal, loving way to greet your Size 8-10, teenage daughter off the plane when you haven't seen her for 12 months is to:

1. Tell her she looks a little chunky
2. Ask her if she wants you to get some Proactive skin treatment as she has obviously run out
3. Ask her if she wants Maccas for lunch
