Wow this is so accurate. I was married to a very emotionally abusive covert narcissist man for 5 years. Word for word he did and said all the things you described. I'm also going through the same thing you described with the other mum at the school gates because my (now ex) has turned her against me so she now blanks me at the school gates. He's also done the same with our neighbours who also blank me. It's so upsetting. He also used to say the same thing for the reason he never took me out to a restaurant. "Who'd look after the kids?" Didn't occur to him to ask his family to babysit or to arrange a babysitter. Luckily I ended our marriage earlier this year and hoping to move out of this area and start fresh.
