Bringing this thread back up because what is actually wrong with Ben? Now he adores Jlo? He didn't adore her back when he embarrassed her by making her file first. Or closing his house on her birthday? And what's up with all the exes stories? Is he sending out signals? |
Yawn |
I think he is a good dad. All of his biological children and the step kids adore him. He's been seen out at restaurants with J-Lo's children and brought them to the premier of the newest film.
I really thought it was cute when Sam wanted expensive ($1000) sneakers, and Ben asked him how many yards he would mow for the shoes. Of course Sam will never have to mow anything but I admire Ben for not just giving Ben whatever he wants. I've also seen pictures of him giving Violet driving lessons and teaching her to pump gas. That seems really nice and normal. I know he is a moody mess as a husband, but he is doing something right with the kids. |
Grew up in the area and know many people who are friends with him. There is not to analyze. What it looks like is what it is. |
The “something right” he did was marry a woman who is an A+ mom and financially support them so she could be a fully present parent all the times that he was unable to be. Solely based on appearances, I think Jen Garner is a great mom and brings out the best in Ben affleck. |
Of course he wants to make sure Violet can drive- he needs all the designated drivers he can get! |
Jennifer held it down but I think Ben deserves credit here too since he's able to be there for Jlo's kids as well. He's a good dad and a crapy husband. |
Agreed. I don't think he's trying to be anything he's not either. |
