[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Yeah really-I didn't work hard and build a nice life and home (nothing fancy but comfortable and nice) and family, just to get rid of them at 18. [/quote]

You people aren't listening.

PP, you and other PP may very well have built a nice home and family - and if that is your experience, well, aren't you lucky?

Some people didn't experience such fortune. Some people have toxic, alienating exes, who did everything they could to suck us dry. There is nothing  left, and, sadly, seeing the kids go at 18 is going to be a welcome respite.

Also, sadly, it's the only way we have of getting some leverage back over said toxic ex. She wanted it her way, with no compromise, for 12 years? Great, she can have it her way at 18. Sorry to sound like a jerk, but it's the truth.

So, ladies, you may want to think about all of that, before you start alienating your children from their fathers.[/quote]

The last child turning 18 was golden to us.[/b] [/quote]

Can you help me understand why?

So many people want to make us wrong for feeling that way...[/quote]

Why do you need to understand why?  You probably would argue differently to anything I said.[/quote]

PP here and...Oookay?

I (perhaps mistakenly?) read your post to mean that you valued them turning 18 and moving on into adulthood. We feel the same way - and it seems like people want to shame us for it. I was just looking for some inputs from someone who (I thought) had the same perception as us.
