This may turn into an ex bashing but I'm just in utter shock at how someone who has given birth, created a beautiful child, nursed her and loved her can then be so damn horrid towards her. It really is beyond my comprehension.
Last night was the girls contact with their mother. First of all she's late picking them up as she had to get changed (the girls refuse to go back to her house as the boyfriend is there) So as soon as the girls get into the car they are shouted at for being "pathetic little girls". They need to "grow up and get over it because it's just fucking ridiculous now"
When the girls return home, youngest who is 9, is withdrawn and quiet. MrKB and I ask what is wrong and she tell us mum has been taking the mickey out of her. Youngest has a mole on her left forearm. It's raised, about the size of a £1 coin and has dark hairs coming out of it. Apparently mum was repeatedly telling her that she needs to "shave that fucking ugly mole" When youngest said no, I've told her not to shave it and I refuse to shave it, there is nothing wrong with having a mole etc, mum replied "what does that mug know. Aren't you worried about people looking at you and going errrrr!" Youngest ignored her and went to play with her sister and cousin.
Then over dinner mum was taking the mickey out of youngest's teeth. She's 9 years old FFS. She has baby teeth and adult teeth. They aren't perfect and they aren't straight but she's still growing. Mum was calling her jaws and gappy.
WTF?!
MrKB was beyond furious and tried calling ex to have it out with her but surprise surprise she didn't answer her phone. This woman sees her children for 11 hours a month and this is is how she treats them. The eldest was furious too and really wanted to say something but is scared she'll get into trouble.
Oh and apparently they are nasty little children for not buying their brother (her son with boyfriend) an Easter egg. This woman (and I use the term lightly) hasn't even bought them an Easter egg.
Honestly!
