Blood, water, all that stuff

Today, despite the fact that he knows I need help, my recently turned 18 year-old son found an apartment and moved out, leaving me alone with my three toddlers. When I asked what I’m supposed to do for childcare, he just said, “Not my kids, not my problem. Ask their dads. Bye.” FML

Parentification is a form of abuse, if you don’t start trying to make it up to him for the right reasons now then he’s gone forever

"Dads"? As in plural? He actually sounds like a remarkably wise young man.

you need to grow up. it's not his fault you picked the wrong man or don't know what birth control is. pay for childcare or get on assistance and they'll offer lower cost childcare.

You suck for expecting your oldest to look after *your* children, especially for free. Once in a while is okay, but expecting your then minor son to watch them constantly is parentification, which is child abuse. I don't blame him at all for leaving; you're lucky he didn't call CPS. Your son owes you nothing; sue the other fathers for child support (as your son suggested), and apply for government child benefits. Also, I advise you seek professional therapy. You owe your son a huge apology.

So you literally ****** around and found out and now you're whining about it. Fantastic 'mother' material you are...

Your son is more grown up than you.

He's 18 and doesn't have children, why would he ruin his life to babysit your failure to use birth control? Your irresponsibility is your problem to deal with
