[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know where people are getting pedo predator from the OP.  XH doesn't sound like a prize, but an alcoholic affair-haver doesn't automatically equal pedo groomer predator.

The alcoholism/DUI would suggest he's likely not a good supervisor of children if he's solo parenting.  That would likely be enough for me to nix a sleepover.

But PPs seem to be making some major leaps.  It's enough for a guy to "just" be a crappy husband/human.[/quote]

I think when OP highlights the fact that it's "little girls" sleeping over, it implies a gender based concern. There is a couple other references in her post which highlight the gender issue ("I actually assumed it would be hard for him to even have playdates at his house as a solo dad with only daughters"), which is why people assumed she was talking about him as a possible predator.

I agree that the DUI is a legitimate concern, but 1) that's not gendered which the post definitely is and 2) no one but her knows about that. She thinks being a divorced man (emphasis on the man) is enough of a red flag to mean you wouldn't send your "little girls" (emphasis on the girls) to sleepover there. The implication is that there's something of a sexual nature that should be concerning them.[/quote]

Yes, and there's a lack of consistency with OP viewing her husband as dangerous but being willing to have him alone with her kids. Yes, it can be difficult to gain sole custody, but in her case you'd think she'd try.[/quote]
