Well duh he won't say kids! If he's using good memories and your mum still doesn't stay, that shows she doesn't care about those memories. Really wanna be one of the memories she doesn't care about?

:D shhh children shouldn't be reading that

haha that sucks

Unless you're very young, that's extremely self-centered. Raising children is a labor of love and a challenge which requires the sacrifice of all your time, money and energy. While they are worth every bit of that effort, I would not consider them to be a "reminder of good times," as your dad seemed to be trying to recall to her. I think he was more in mind of their personal relationship, which is separate from the kids. You never know: your mom could have found raising you difficult and full of sacrifices she made out of necessity and not free-will. Not to say that she doesn't love you and wouldn't do it all over again, but, hey: She's a person and a woman first, a wife and mother second.

heehee! Ajjas. :D

Sorry, but I"m on your dad's side here. I've heard it said many times by several people that while being a parent is extremely rewarding and you'll enjoy it, the best time of your life is AFTER the kids are gone. Kids, despite how much fun they are and how much you love them, cause problems, and can often create more friction in a troubled relationship. When you're trying to save your relationship, it's the times you as a couple have had that 'make' the relationship; not the kids.

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.

Us kids haven't been on a vacation with them in over a decade, sorry.

Op, you're dad's a ...a...mother ******` loser. O_O? DAMMIT, no he's a ******* jerk, but yeah...he's...he's horrible. slap him . for me. & your mom. [:

I do not see how this is a problem. I went through the same problems as a child of eleven. My father and mother worked on their relationship while my sister and I went to stay with my grandmother. They built their relationship outside us so they could be strong together. Children leave but parents stay together or they don't. They will always be your parents but you must stop being such a little brat. Their marriage is not about you. And if it was, then it would not be healthy.
