[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When the father has minimal custody (like over the summer or a few times per year or less) and doesn't really help financially. Otherwise you are a coparent. Hell, "single parenting" 50% of the time sounds like a freakin' vacation compared to my life. I fantasize about it often. [/quote] You have a full other human in your house and you think she has it easier? Let me guess “mental load”? Too controlling? Go to the gym girl and work that out the kids will be fine alone with dad. Queue the bemoaning … but they won’t get veggies with dinner trooe.[/quote] Yeah actually having 3-4 days completely off from parenting would be much easier than being the primary parent all the time. [/quote] Some people like their kids. [/quote] Nobody said they didn't like their kids. It would simply be EASIER. I love my kids. a LOT! But if you think lugging a diaper bag and two children under 5 to the grocery store is easier than going by myself you are wrong. [/quote] And you think going alone while worrying about whether or not your kids are being properly cared for or are going to come home okay and on time is going to be magically easier? You think having to deal with your ex for dropoff, pickup, and coordinating visits makes things less complicated? You think your ex's new partner is going to be the babysitter you could've hired for your stupid self if/when you needed a break? You're not thinking this through.[/quote]
