[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is everybody jumping all over the new girlfriend who posted FB pics of taking the kids out? It's the husband that looks bad for being such a non-involved dick during the marriage and then doing dad-stuff with the new girlfriend, but maybe the new girlfriend doesn't know how he behaved in his marriage. Maybe in her mind she's just trying to be active in the kids' lives and do activities with them when they're with her and the dad. The ex definitely comes off looking bad in that scenario, but the new girlfriend, although she unintentionally hurt the wife's feelings with the pictures, seems like she was just trying to be involved with the kids.

I know it's painful to see your children with your ex's new girlfriend or wife, but I always wonder, would you prefer the alternative of having the new woman hate them and resent their presence and never do anything with them? Your ex will eventually move on, so if it's with someone who appears to give even a tiny shit about the kids, I still think that's way better than the new girlfriend or wife who would rather pretend they don't exist.

I am the poster who had this happen to me.  I have had the same thoughts about it that you articulate here.  Putting myself in her shoes, I could see me doing this - before.  Now that I have lived this, I hope I have learned NOT to do this - not to post pics of some other woman's babies all over FB.  Granted she had the permission of their other parent.  But knowing now how painful it was, I would not do the same in that situation.  I'd wait until at least I had a relationship with the kids and/or ask the mom, if civility is possible.  [/quote]
