Today, while driving my kids to school, my son said, "Why don't you find another place to live, so we can just live with daddy?" Then my daughter added, "Yeah, 'cause we LOVE Daddy." FML

It really makes me wonder why your kids would say something like that. I know they sometimes say things they don't mean because they don't know any better... But I don't know. I'm not trying to say you are a bad mother or anything, it just makes me wonder.

Reminds me of everybody loves Raymond. Raymond never scolds the kids so he's the good parent.

This is unspacific. Are you the dad or mom? (The son either talked to you as a third person or was talking about your husband (if your the woman.)) And it kind of was intended as sarcasm but you should have written, "sarcasm intended" or something.

Kids are just brutally honest. However, they're also capricious. Maybe tomorrow they'll love you...?

wow ungreatful kids. daddy didn't go through labor.

how does that work against him at all? =p

the kids sound pretty young still. Don't worry, their father probably does what my mom calls "the DisneyLand Dad" thing. See my parents got divorced when i was 4, and our father then became the disneyland dad, treating us to ice cream, buying us toys, and yes even took us to disneyland in California (we live in Canada). He always told us when we turned 12 we could choose to live with him if we wanted. My brother loved that idea. Any way, your ex probably told that to the kids that if you moved else where they could spend all their time with him getting spoiled. In reality if they did live with him and not you, then the spoiling would stop, and a big reason he wants them is to hurt you. So don't take it so hard, your the better parent I'll bet. You can't spoil them as much as your ex, but try to get out with them more, even taking them to the park or the public swimming pool can do wonders. Driving them to school every day isn't something they appreciate it's something they expect. Go do something fun with them. camping, bike rides, picnics, then that will help to even the score until they are a bit older. which reminds me, keep talking to your ex and tell him how you feel, or else he may be spoiling them as teens as well and you'll have two bratty teens who hate you. if need be threaten to have visitation reduced, you may be apart but you still have to try and parent as one, that is; if you don't want your kids to turn into terrible people. good luck.

Or he could just be a good dad and OP is just a total **** like all ex-wives.

It definitely sounds like OP is still married to their father, though, so he's probably not doing that. My guess is OP has to be the bad cop and her husband is the good cop. That's how a lot of parents are. Hell, that's how my parents are.

Well the way it sounds it looks like you're the better of the two parents, if your children hate you, you're doing a good job, unlike the father.
