Today, my dad tried to convince my mother to stay with him. "Think of all the great times we've had," he said and started naming off quite a few. Too bad none of them were about the three kids they had together, all were vacations. FML

Well, after my parents got married, my dad's dad convinced my dad that my mom was a gold digger and so they divorced when I was one year old and had my brothers three years later. They've lived together the past 16 years as a divorced couple and have fought constantly. My dad forced my mom to go thousands of dollars into debt because he wouldn't give her any money for a year. During that time my mom couldn't get a job anywhere and she had to buy groceries for us three and her two kids from before the failed marriage. My brothers and I live with my mom now and it's much better without him trying to control us.

she probably wants to leave because she's got such whiny-ass children who think everything should be about them. he made the right move by not pulling the "what about the children" card, he's trying to convince her THEIR RELATIONSHIP is worth saving.

Perhaps it's time to stop being self-centered and actually help your parents instead of being a whiny baby.

Because every time they mention something good in the relationship they have to include you? Hate to burst your bubble, but they had a relationship before they had you and they've had good times that didn't include you. Douche bag.

You're being selfish. You're seriously on here bitching about what he said, instead of the fact that their relationship is over? **** you.

Maybe it's because your parents' marriage doesn't involve you and she'll still be your mother whether she's married to him or not?

Perhaps because he was mentioning the great times THEY had together? You know, the two of them. Him and her....

Woman, they weren't even married for a year when they had me. They had a winter wedding and I was conceived around Valentine's day. I can do math ya'know.

^ That doesn't mean they can't have good times without the children. It doesn't matter how long they were married before you, they never went out? The three of you never stayed at friends houses? You said in one comment that you kids haven't been on a vacation with them in over a decade, I don't know about you, but my vacations are pretty fun. .. Okay, rant over. :P

Now you see why men are from Mars, and women are from Venus. Who knows, maybe you kids were "souvenirs" from those vacations.

sometimes kids strain a marriage. From the early stages from lack of sleep, to resenting the other spouse for not helping out with the kids enough. Teens being whiny, selfish and maniuplating the parents against each other. It happens.

shit like this REALLY pisses me off. YOU are not part of your parents' relationship. You WERE spawned from that relationship, but you aren't a PART of it. You and your siblings will still be there even if the relationship isn't, so it's useless to pull the "but we have children!" card.
