[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When the father has minimal custody (like over the summer or a few times per year or less) and doesn't really help financially. Otherwise you are a coparent. Hell, "single parenting" 50% of the time sounds like a freakin' vacation compared to my life. I fantasize about it often. [/quote]

You have a full other human in your house and you think she has it easier?

Let me guess “mental load”?

Too controlling?
Go to the gym girl and work that out the kids will be fine alone with dad.

Queue the bemoaning … but they won’t get veggies with dinner trooe.[/quote]

Yeah actually having 3-4 days completely off from parenting would be much easier than being the primary parent all the time.  [/quote]

Some people like their kids. [/quote]
Nobody said they didn't like their kids. It would simply be EASIER. I love my kids. a LOT! But if you think lugging a diaper bag and two children under 5 to the grocery store is easier than going by myself you are wrong. [/quote]

I think it would be harder to be separated from my kids. But I guess some errands would be easier, yay?[/quote]

Mom with 80/20 custody here. Being away from your kids regularly, especially for holidays, birthdays, etc. is by far worse than having to drag both kids to the grocery store FFS. PP sounds like an ungrateful a$$hole.[/quote]

I don’t really understand this.  DH and I both work in healthcare and have spent alternate Christmases away from our kids.  IMO, I would much rather be the parent at work than the parent at home solo making a nice holiday for everyone or going to the trampoline park with twelve 6 year olds.  
Is it that your ex isn’t making a good holiday/birthday for your kids and you are sad for them?  Or that this isn’t the way you had imagined spending the holiday?  
I’m sure it’s just jealousy, but of I knew my kids were well taken care of and no one would miss me, I would love to have a holiday off and just hang out and drink wine, eat Chinese food, and watch Hallmark movies with my mom and sister.  [/quote]
