This is not true! It would be stressful to see your ex have a baby... and another... The effect on your children would be difficult to handle as well. This applies to everything else about about splitting up, but not new siblings for your children! |
Not if you’re a mature adult. You’re divorced. That guy is free to live his life. |
Don't we all agree it's obviously up to her DH!
I really don't understand why any guy would want more kids if he has 2 or 3. Too many guys believe a woman takes her BC everyday. Some forget, skip days or simply want to have a child. Why would a man want to support 2 families? Huge mess. OP can at least see how he feels about it, either way it's his call. |
Actually it happens a lot from what I've seen. Some guys think they've met their dream, she wants to have a child and he wants a do over. The first kids are angry and resentful, hate the new step. Every visit is a nightmare whereby they become less and less. Dad starts taking wife and new kids on vacation when his are in school etc. etc. The first kids making their new life miserable isn't worth it. |
Oh, now there's a plot twist lol |
That's an oxymoron if there ever was one |
Yep. Once my youngest turns 18, I will care less about what her dad does because she will be free. We already know he won’t help with college. He spends as little time with her as possible without lowering his CS under MD’s formula. She might see him once or twice a year once she is out of HS. He can have twenty more kids then. |
I bet she ends up cutting him off. Even now there's no way to force her to see him at her age, I think you both are done with him. |
That doesn’t mean you can’t feel stress or other emotions about him having other children, you moron. This would be normal and a big difference from thinking you can control him. |
Wait what? Being a mature adult means you don’t care about things that impact your children’s lives? |
Then congratulations! You’ve married and had a child with a man who will ditch his children when he doesn’t like their behavior. Pay attention because he will treat your child the same way when he tires of you. |
I think having a loving and supportive stepfather really showed her that her so-called real dad is purposefully doing the minimum. Her sense is that he doesn’t value her more than his lifestyle stuff, including weed, and women. She’s certainly done having her heart broken for the guy who chose to get high and laid rather than spend the day with his daughter on the eve of going to jail. |
College students *are* adults. |
This is some immoral, self centered & self serving bullshit.
What kind of person does this? I can't imagine you're very stable if your controlling ways have driven you to contemplate this. Oh & for those who keep mentioning that the OP is just worried about her kids inheritance, nowhere in her post did the OP mention that. One of the first few people to respond to the original post mentioned that, but not the OP herself. NOWHERE did she mention her kids. She sounds like she's WAY more concerned with him having a happier life with someone younger, which screams bitterness & jealousy, not concern. |
If you get stressed out about what happens under someone else’s roof that is pretty normal - having a family - you are the problem. If in your mind you’ve reduced your ex to an ATM for your kids, you are the problem. |
