Kids: Mob rule

Mob rule

By --- - 06/07/2015 20:52 - Canada - Toronto

Today, during family therapy, the therapist asked if I believe I'm a good parent/husband. When I said yes, my two sons, my daughter, and even my wife very passionately disagreed. FML

What did I say, Roy?

Today, my wife said I was being difficult and unreasonable, and called my mother to talk to me about my behaviour. What did I do, you ask? I dared to share my opinion on something I happen to feel strongly about, instead of just mindlessly agreeing with her opinion like I have for the past 22 years. FML

Today, my wife screamed, cried, called me lazy and a bad parent, and threatened to leave and take our four kids. All I did was ask for an hour to myself every day for some private time. FML

Fault

Today, I went to a family counseling session because my parents are getting a divorce. I told the counselor that I feel guilty because I feel like I caused it. She says that there is no way I could have caused it, that it's my parents' problem when my mom interrupts her to say, "Yes she did." FML

Today, I went to family therapy because my mom wanted the family to be closer. When asked what her biggest disappointment was in life, she turned to me and said, "Having a gay son" then patted my hand, smiled, and said "No offense, honey." FML

Today, I got in an argument with my wife. I told her that I feel like she immediately disagrees with anything I say. She immediately disagreed and said she never does that. FML

Mask off

Today, we went to couples' counselling. After a while the therapist said to me, “Madam, since we've started, your husband has managed two full sentences without you interrupting him, and most of what you said was, frankly, childish whining.” I'm starting to realise I might be the problem. FML

A quiet place, please

By Anonymous - 12/08/2024 16:00 - United States - Richmond

Today, the TV was blaring, the kids were yelling, and my wife was blabbering on in my ear. Overwhelmed, I shouted, "EVERYONE QUIET!" I got a second of blessed silence before my kids started screaming and crying, and my wife threw a tantrum, saying, "I married a psycho!" FML

I guess now you know you have some things to work on... that's not a bad thing. It's all about communication at this point. I wish you the best though OP.

Sometimes one's perception of who you are is different to what others perceive you as. Hope OP uses this to get to learn himself better to see why others think the way they do and actively changes his behavior into a positive outcome. It's easy to feel sorry for yourself. Nothing in life is easy though, takes hard work. Good luck!

That sucks! But considering you were outvoted 4:1 you probably deserved it too...

I would have given the same response if it was my family.

That must have hurt to hear, but keep in mind that family therapy won't work unless people are honest. If you're not doing enough as a husband and father, you need to know that so you can start to work on it. Tell your family how you feel as well and you can all work through this together.

If you work and your wife stays at home, then they shouldn't be complaining.

Sure sure, no matter what. If he beats her and his children, neglects them, cheats, is an alcoholic, calls her terrible names, is a gambler, a shopaholic, treats her crudely and without respect (in public too), etc... that is just not a good reason for a stay-at-home mother to complain. Of course she should be grateful, and just ignore any of the myriad of failings he might have. And lets just not mention that couples usually make the decision to have a stay-at-home parent together, so he most likely encouraged her to stay-at-home and agreed with the situation.
