[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reality is you are realizing parenting is hard not 50/50. BFD. Your kids commute 50 minutes to school in the am and back again in the pm. Nights are sports/arts, dinner, homework, bed. Yes you have to get to their school and take them to their practices and help them with their hw It’s hard. Don’t try to blame this on “what is best for the kids” if you can’t be bothered. [/quote] Unless you're the type of parent who complains about driving them back and forth, taking them to sports or arts or whatever their activities may be, supporting social activities with friends on the weekend like birthday parties, then get out of the way and don't force them to go to your house force them to go to your house. [/quote] All those things are parenting whether it’s happening in your neighborhood or 40 minutes away.[/quote] Right, but there's a particular type of narcissist who takes the position that "MY TIME, I DECIDE," meaning when they exercise parenting time, their kids can't go to soccer practice or participate in an afterschool play. The kids must instead ride directly from school to that parent's house, which is 40 minutes away from their friends, school, and pre-existing activities. They make absurd claims about signing the kids up for activities near their house. This obviously doesn't work in practice. Kids in this situation generally prefer to spend limited time with the narcissist parent. [/quote]
