Love, Kids and Parents: Under pressure

Under pressure

By Anonymous - 18/09/2023 14:00

Today, I told my boyfriend of five months that it's time he stopped fighting for custody with his baby mama, and to start focusing more on my kids, whom he said he would take responsibility for. He responded by telling me to pack my things, saying we should all leave. FML

Today, I told my boyfriend of three years that I wanted to get married and have a child within the next five years. He responded by packing up my things and showing me the door. FML

Today, my boyfriend told me he doesn't think he should marry me, because I have kids. They're his kids. FML

Don't tempt me

Today, I made the mistake of telling my boyfriend I was taking my kids to my mother's until he has decided if he wants to carry on being a boyfriend and stepfather. While we were gone, he apparently realised how good his life could be without us, and dumped me. I fucked up. FML

Today, I told my boyfriend he has to stop paying half of his baby mama's rent or I would leave. He laughed and said I could leave. FML

Today, I broke up with my boyfriend of 4 years, telling him he needed to be more responsible, and stop relying on me for everything. When I told him to leave, he told me he needed some gas money. FML

The world's greatest dad

Today, I'd had enough of my ex-husband ignoring me and our son, so I threatened to take him to court for sole custody. He didn't even hang up the phone to his client, he just told me to go for it because our son isn't really that interesting anyway, not enough to fight to try keep him. FML

Pure evil

Today, my son got in an argument with my boyfriend, packed up his stuff, and moved in with his dad. Not five minutes later I saw my boyfriend doing his stupid happy dance. When angrily confronted, he admitted he orchestrated every argument for months until he got the result he wanted, my son gone. FML

The whole kit and caboodle

Today, I asked my husband for a divorce. He said fine, as long as I got full custody of the kids. I did an actual double take; he didn’t want shared custody, he wanted me to take the kids, no arguments or negotiating, because he doesn’t want the kids anymore. FML

Today, I asked my boyfriend to help me with groceries, since the last of my money went to last week's groceries. His response was to start a fight, then tell me it's my fault my daughter acts the way she does, which is when he finally got me to break down and cry. I'm pregnant with his kid, and I also pay 90% of our bills. FML

Save yourself

Today, I had to offer my boyfriend a no-hard-feelings opportunity to just leave. He never wanted to be a dad, but since we accidentally got pregnant and had our son, I’ve watched his mental health go downhill so fast I was afraid he’d kill himself if he kept forcing himself to stay with us. FML

Be honest with yourself, here. If he had told you to stop focussing on your own kids and concentrate on your stepkid instead, you would've been outraged too, right? There we go.

You definitely deserved that one. You displayed callous and selfish behavior. I would've done the same thing if an asshole told me to abandon my biological children. You don't deserve him one bit.

Wow... yeah you absolutely deserve that. You sound like a mooch for one, and two, five months? That's it? That's not even half a year and you expect him to give you and your (not his) kids his undivided attention? Over his own flesh and blood? How do we know his baby mama isn't as psychotic as you are? Good for him.

The YDI ratio for this one has to be a record.

You sound like my ex-bf from high school. He ran into me at a grocery store and told me as soon as I got rid of my son we could date again, because he doesn’t do kids, gave me his cell phone number and told me to call him. I “accidentally” washed his number when I popped those jeans in the laundry.
