Do you think it's easy to be a "good dad" when you only see your kids part of the time and when you do their controlling helicopter mother is telling you what to do or not do with them? Sorry, but not all men are as organized as women. That doesn't make me a bad dad. My parents never divorced but the majority of child rearing still fell to my mother. All you women patting yourselves on the back for what good moms you are in the face of deaf beat dads..do you think your kids don't pick up on the fact that you think you're the superior parent?

Stop blaming other people for your problems.  You have the relationship you earn with your kids.  In this day and age, any father who wants it can get 50/50 custody.  So, both parents are "part-time".  Guess what, not all women are "organized" either. But we can see over time that raising a kid takes a lot of organization.  So, we put in the time to learn by experience or from peers or whatever.

My kids form their judgments about their Dad based on his behavior, not what I say about him.  He repeatedly fails to show up, makes promises he can't keep, pawns them off on others and asks/knows very little about their lives, their aspirations or their fears.  There's nothing I can say that would change their opinion of him. [/quote]
