Today, I came home from work to find the front door wide open, the stove on, my 5 year old cutting up the curtain, and my 2 year old smearing chocolate sauce on the floor. My fiancé was nowhere to be found. Later on, I got a text from him saying that he'd gone to watch the footy. FML

Sounds like a Mr. Bean movie. Also what on earth is the footy? O.O

It doesn't really matter if they are biologically his children or not. His job was to care for them and what he did is child endangerment/neglect. A 2 year old knows no danger and could have walked out of the house and onto the street, eaten some pills, fallen down steps etc. A 5 year old isn't a good baby-sitter. OP, find a daycare provider or arrange for someone else to watch the kids while you work. Someone with common sense. If my husband did that, divorce would be eminent. You have to be a selfish moron to do what he did so I doubt the relationship is going all that well in other areas.

I think a footy is a soccer game but I'm not sure

Yeah, "footy" means soccer. In the UK, Australia, Europe, etc. soccer is called football.

I'd say you're lucky none of the neighbours noticed the kids were alone and called child protection. He could have caused both of you very serious trouble with the authorities if anybody had found out. And that's, of course, leaving aside the WTF part of him leaving a two year old and a five year old at home on their own with the door wide open and the stove on. Is he five himself?

In Europe, Australia, etc. soccer is called football. So "footy" is short for football :)

So, if you'd never "herd" of it, it must be a bunch of "bull?"

Also, you had to ask a question that's been asked (and answered) a gazillion times in this thread AGAIN?

Your lucky the kids didn't set the house on fire. They could have been killed, I would have slapped the crap outta him when he got home. And his bags would be packed.

Any person left in charge or entrusted with the welfare of a 5 and 2 year old and simply leaves them alone is guilty of child neglect. Make no mistake, this person is not a good option as a child rearing partner. This is one of those times where the relationship has to take a back seat to Op's parental responsibility to maintain a safe environment for these two children. At the very least Serious child care counseling for him is needed. Personally I believe Op needs to re-assess her priorities and put the children first. This cannot be the first indication of his lack of maturity and inability to make solid, responsible decisions. Verdict- move him out of the home until he overwhelmingly confirms through action, not promises that he has become partner material.

You can't really say all that if they've been together for 5 years and the kids are his. That would be taking the children's father away because he messed up. Wouldn't it make more sense to just make sure he's not left to watch them alone anymore instead...?

304, if he can't be trusted to watch the kids without endangering them, then what is the point of him living with them? This isn't just a small screw up, this is a huge deal.
