[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of men don't understand all of the work that goes into any of the minutia with being the primary caregiver or default parent for a child. And they have not learned how to sacrifice continually for a demanding and thankless child that is learning. For a lot of men, when this responsibility falls on them, it is a rude awakening. [/quote] I feel like if my XH had weekends with my kids, he wouldn't realize anything because he'd let them stay up late, eat whatever, buy them whatever, etc. figuring the actual work of raising productive, healthy kids and setting limits would just be left to me.[/quote] That's exactly what my XH does on his every other weekend (or every third or fourth, whenever he actually bothers to take them). It's all x-box all day, all treats and snacks, so much fun at Daddy's house!!!! One kid got sick once and he was calling me every 10 minutes to ask what to do.[/quote] NP - I would never call my XW about anything while in my custody. In fact, when we were married she wasn't the one juggling all the kids as she couldn't deal with them when they talked back! Want to guess what house the kids like to hang? Control your kids when they are younger, you will live to regret it later.[/quote] One of the divorced wives who posted here, and I absolutely agree, it's not always the mom.who is the responsible party![/quote]
