In preparation to saying no

I haven't seen my little girl's daddy for over a week (we have been
separated for 3 months) and I offered to bring her by tomorrow.

He told me I could stop at the grocery store and pick up a turkey, potatoes, broth etc. to make a Thanksgiving dinner (Canadian Thanksgiving that is).
Really??? I told him I'd think about it but the more I think about it the more annoyed/angry I get.

We can't live with him cause he using dope. Sure he is still paying some of our bills but No way I am making a turkey at his place and no way I can tell him where we live so if we have turkey it'll be without him. And seeing him once a week is more than enough so even if I do make a turkey he won't get any.

Not only it's a lot of work but he'd be spending way too much time alone with our daughter while I prepare the potatoes and gravy or while I cut up the turkey after we eat. At this point in time I don't want to leave her with him longer than it takes for me to pee. How sad.

I can't believe he even asked really. What a selfish jerk.

Just wanted to add, I am considering cutting him off completely but he is saying he is going into detox next week (I have no idea that he will) so I figured I'd wait and see if he does before smashing my cell phone to bits.

"No" is a complete sentence.

"No because..." opens the door to negotiation and manipulation. Don't go there.
