[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why did you guys have kids with such monumental fuck ups?[/quote]

Fuckups don't generally wear a sign. And "FYI, I'm going to suck at that thing you'd like to do someday" isn't a conversation most of them will have with you while dating.

Clearly you, being perfect, found an equally perfect spouse to play glass house with. [/quote]

I'm not perfect, nor is my spouse. It's just amazing to me that these men could be *this shitty* and nobody noticed until kids were already here. Generally, when people suck you can tell before you procreate with them. I get that these women regret these are their kids' dad but pointing out all the ways in which these men are basically incompetent at life really makes you wonder how anyone thought them a good candidate for parenting with.

My ex isn't incompetent at everything. He excels with charming people, especially small children and women with low self esteem. He knows exactly what people want to hear so he makes just the right promises and, for a long time, just the right excuses. He just can't follow through. He's going through a second divorce right now and his estranged wife actually called me to apologize for some things that she said and did to me and DC based on what he'd told her. I told her that it's not uncommon for new gfs and second wives to believe the best of their partner and assume it was all the ex-wife's fault. Unfortunately, because she never would have believed me, I never told her my side of the story. She had to experience his worst traits herself. She's grateful that they were unsuccessful in getting pregnant and I'm happy for her in that. In less than a year, she will be free of him forever. I will share grandkids with him and probably worry pretty steadily for the next 30 years about my minor DC and their minor DC dealing with his emotional abuse and lack of adulting.[/quote]
