Not a chance !

[Traci66]

Step son rung the other day to ask if we had any spare paint as he was moving to a new place, yesterday OH took pots of paint over and it transpires that son is moving in with his mother who has split from her partner, then last night step son rung again asking if OH would go and help him decorate, OH said he would.
OH then asked me if I would go with him, I said I wasn't going to sit there watching them decorate, I had better things to do, so OH said, maybe I could help them decorate.
Wait, you want me to go with you to your ex wife's house and decorate it for her using the paint I supplied.
He is now wondering why I saw red. What would you have done?

exactly the same traci

[mrs_overall]

You couldn't make that up!
The cheek of it did have me laughing though

[sunny-dave]

Prawns behind the bath panel job I reckon ?

[boxtops]

Nice they are still all supportive of each other, though - better than being bad feeling.

[Traci66]

Mrs O, I am still fuming, OH can see my point now though, well this did happen last night, say no more!

[excelsior-1]

hello mrs overall.

i've got the buckets (clean of course). i'll bring them to the club next weekend

[Traci66]

OH hasn't spoken to ex wife in twenty odd years.

[marval]

I would have said you go, but I would rather not. He should know why.

[tillyh345]

Bloody cheek of it, Im laughing too at the audacity of him!!!

[rockyracoon]

Men are completely thick a times.

[tonyav]

Jaysus, even I wouldn't have tried that.

[Psybbo]

Maybe he wants you to protect him?

[cazzz1975]

I would have helped out, why would you have an attitude with a woman he hasnt spoken to for 20 years? this is about helping his son.

[DTCwordfan]

Happy Fathers Day, Traci.....

[ummmm]

I don't know what I would have done. My OH doesn't have any kids..

[divegirl]

I agree with cazz. You'd have to be pretty insecure to be worried about an ex of some 20 years. do you not get on with his son either?

[Greedyfly]

I would have laughed in his face. He would never ask me this though anyways.

[divegirl]

So much for the milk of human kindness......

[missnemesis]

It would depend on 2 things for me.

1) Where exactly he wanted the help with i.e. his bedroom only.

2) What was his mother going to be doing at the time, helping or sitting watching whilst other mugs, sorry, other people decorated her house for her.

[pastafreak]

I wish my ex was nice enough to help me with some of the things I can't manage on my own.
Maybe you should just see it as a kindness-and nothing more.
