[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean in any situation, if you're comparing a thing vs the absolute worse case as a baseline (horrible ex), then whatever that other thing is will be better.[/quote]

Even a nice ex typically doesn’t consent to the other parent moving the kids abroad. SMBC gets 100% autonomy in how she raises her kids and where, without having someone else’s view to consider. She has exponentially more freedom than a married or divorced mother.[/quote]

Um she should consider the kids once in awhile don't you think? [/quote]

Yes she did and does. She will not have to split her attention the kids are way better off.[/quote]

This freedom comes at a steep cost. No other person will be as interested in the kids as a loving father, the kids will never have a chance to know their father. Also hope SMBC doesn't get breast or colon cancer, or in the case of a dear friend, glioblastoma and leave her kids orphaned. There are tradeoffs and I'm not buying this perfect picture you painting of a fairy tale SMBC life. Being the sole supporter with no backup sounds terrible.[/quote]

That's the risk. My friend became a default parent for her SMBC sister-in-law's kids when her SIL died early due to cancer.  My friend had just finished raising her kids, and she's taken on this role begrudgingly because no one else was willing to step up.   Prior to knowing her situation, I romanticized the SMBC option because I make plenty of money and I'm a bit controlling and love my freedom.  [/quote]
