[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Self-centered are the parents who divorced while expecting that they won’t shoulder any of the inconvenience. A lot of these so-called parents could use a dose of shut up.  That’s not being a martyr. That’s an adult child sick of listening to their parents’ childish whining.[/quote]
Yes, because it certainly is not an inconvenience for the parents to go through the huge changes that divorce brings into their lives (who you live with, where you live, the finances etc etc + divorces tend to be emotionally difficult even when they're 'easy'). That is NOTHING compared to you having to visit two households during Christmas![/quote]

DP here. I’m not visiting twice as many people on the holidays. If you choose to divorce, you get half as much time. That’s how it works. I will rotate but I will not twist my family into a pretzel. And I don’t feel guilty - this is what you chose.[/quote]

So they're gonna get half as much eldercare from you too?  Half-manage their medical care when they're too old to do it?  You're gonna half-sell their house, half-find them an assisted living?  [/quote]

Actually, yes! I can only do so much, and I'm not taking away from my husband and kids an unreasonable amount to do the above things. Choices have consequences. [/quote]
