Oh Jesus fuck. Take some personal responsibility.

Read a parenting book. Make an effort.

I had to remind my ex to give our daughter antibiotics. If I didn't, he'd forget and she'd get even sicker. One day I picked her up and she had a 105 fever. She was sweating buckets and dizzy. He didn't notice. Should I have let him keep her 100% of the time so he could get better at his responsibilities? The kid is the priority. Not your damned ego. You want to be a good parent, then try. Don't blame other people for actually giving a crap and doing the work. [/quote]

this is so typical women response... i do EVERYTHING right, and he does NOTHING right. your attitude is probably why your marriage didn't work out. [/quote]

Alternatively, maybe the fact that the Dad isn't a responsible parent is the reason the marriage failed.

Sometimes the truth is just staring you right in the face. [/quote]

I'm the PP whose ex didn't even notice our child was so sick she needed to go to the emergency room.

Our marriage failed because he refused to participate in parenting in any way, refused to make up for it by letting me budget for household help, criticized me for not losing my baby weight within two weeks of birth (seriously - and I was only carrying maybe 15 pounds), made me sacrifice job advancement to be a parent after promising we would be equal, told his mother i wasn't a dedicated parent because I used to answer work emails on my blackberry while breastfeeding (really), and decided, after I got pregnant, to go back on a solemn promise not to drink more than three times per week unless we were on vacation (my father is an alcoholic and so is his).

The delicate flower who doesn't think men should be required to take their sick kids to the doctor or hear about it when they don't is pathetic. [/quote]
