[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fighting with your children is in no way comparable with job trouble. Everyone knows that you can’t criticize someone’s parenting or their children. You are asking your BF to weigh in on the situation seems awfully close. I don’t believe for a minute that you were prepared if the comments were negative.

Also - does he even have kids? Have they faced any challenges that he has dealt with? I kind of hate when people with no kids or perfect kids weigh in. Seems to me that holding back showed good judgment and restraint.[/quote]

But the boyfriend can talk to her about his mom problems? That can be a total landmine and OP handled it by being supportive of him and listening, just like for any other problem in life.

OP, straight up DTMF.  He was both rude and insensitive about a major area of life when you opened the door on it meaningfully for the first time or one of the first time. His responses to this topic would have started to allow you to feel comfortable with introducing your child more and more. I assume that is what he is avoiding AND he is a jerk. A nice person could have been supportive and found a mature and kind way to communicate concerns about meeting your kid. [/quote]

Some people have unreasonable emotional expectations of others. You and OP are two of those people.

Since OP did not really discuss her children previously, he did the right thing by NOT commenting on such a sensitive topic. I fully believe OP is an emotional baby which is why she was so hurt that the BF rightly pointed out that this isn’t his domain. She also acted like a baby when she shut down the conversation rather than voicing her feelings. But I guess in your world and OP’s it’s okay that she had the wrong emotional reaction (shutting down), but no one else may be permitted to do so.
