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.

This is neither a FML or YDI...because it isn't about you, OP! It's about YOUR parents marriage. Which you're not a part of. Sorry, truth hurts.

No it doesn't. I don't care about their marriage because I was a year old when it ended.

I'm I the only one who got the idea that the dad was cheating on the mom and told about the fun times he had with the other women?

you deserve it for listening to your dad trying to get your mom to stay with him... you shouldn't even have been there!

Dad got the right idea. Though, nice moments should also happen at home, not just on holidays. Indeed, kids are a byproduct of a relationship, NOT part of it. So OP, suck it up and pray they stay together!

And I am ashamed about that Sekococo! You were so candid with me about VCH piercings. I don't learn something new every day, but that day I did! ;)

Think of it like this, you dad is trying to get your mom to stay with him. She is still going to be part of your life rather she stays with your father or not. So of course he is trying to get her to remember the good times between them, their relationship is on the line not yours and either of thiers.
