it depends who it is
if it is someone whose opinion i actually respect, then i take a deep breath, let it settle, and talk to them. if it's a fucktard, then either ignore them, or tell them: YOU'RE A FUCKTARD.

My ex has fucking annoyed me. Wants to wake micro early from her nap just so she can go shopping.
Apparently I'm wrong to want my daughter to rest while she can in this heat. FFS.
( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Wed 17 Jul 2013, 14:51, Reply)

that's really annoying
she should either leave micro with you and go shopping in peace (who the fuck wants to take a toddler shopping?) or wait.

however, she is the one who will have to deal with a tired and grumpy toddler, if she wakes her up. make your point, let her realise the error of her ways, i say. she won't do it again!

No I'm supposed to have micro this afternoon whilst she goes shopping. I've told her to let micro sleep. Why should the kid suffer so she can shop?

( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Wed 17 Jul 2013, 14:54, Reply)

for the life of me i can't understand why she wants to take the kid shopping
kids ruin shopping. and they hate it. fact.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Wed 17 Jul 2013, 14:57, Reply)

No. Micro will be with me. Except I have to wait until she wakes up, apparently this leaves my ex with insufficient time to go to ikea.

( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Wed 17 Jul 2013, 14:59, Reply)

and she can't go to ikea and then collect micro on her way home because........?
i'm guessing you've tried this logic.

Hahaha yeah, use logic when arguing with his wife about what is best for the kid

i just can't understand why anyone would want to shop at ikea

The Ikea in the centre of Coventry is possibly the most hideous tin abomination.
Yet I am also slightly pleased that it is there, as it means I never have to set foot inside one ever again.

i've been in a pie shop in wigan (technically it was closed because we were selling it, so no pies)
and a kebab shop in stockport. they came close.

I had to venture down to the Furrock branch a few months back. Worked out what it was I needed online. Went in via the warehouse doors, found what I wanted in the warehouse and OUT.
10 minutes, tops. I was in my old local in Chelmsford by 11.

You can't win these ones.
It's hard enough when you're still with the mother and she insists on being wrong about these things.
Your daughter won't suffer in the long term if you just grit your teeth and let your ex have her way.
If you can avoid a big argument today, you may be able to reason with her afterwards and perhaps she'll see your point of view.
