[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]the expectation that parents should allow their children's needs to completely supersede their own is damaging.[/quote]

Bullshit. Putting your kids needs before your own is called "being a parent" and "being an adult".[/quote]

People can have affairs without neglecting their children.[/quote]

I disagree, if you were not with your affair partner you would probably be with your family instead.  Unless you are with your partner during normal working hours, you are taking time away from your children.  [/quote]

Are you with your children seven nights a week, every week? No time out with friends, to volunteer?  And children are so needy that both parents must be home each evening?  Absence = neglect?[/quote]

Honestly yes.  Dh and I do date nights twice a month but that's it.  My friends have kids so when we hang out we do it together.  I'm sure your kids know you have an affair partner.  We always knew when my dad was cheating because he would be around less often.  It was like the elephant in the room. [/quote]

That's interesting.  Of the evenings I am away from my family, they are almost always for work or volunteering for my civic organization. You never go out with girlfriends? You don't exercise or volunteer? Are your children numerous and/or quite young?  You don't sound like you think it's a good idea to be away from children at night for any reason.[/quote]
