My dad may not have told me I was beautiful every day or encouraged stimulating games that promoted reality instead of luck, but at least he was there for me every day, not every other weekend. At least he took care of me when I was a baby and didn’t practically abandon my mother while she was pregnant/when I was an infant. As a young woman I pray never to meet a man like you- one that loves his kids for two days once every two weeks (sometimes for a few hours on weekdays!) and creates a post titled “I wanted to kill my first born” that brags about what a good father he is.
While you get pegged as the fun dad, think about your ex, who’s probably thought of as Mommie Dearest because she makes her kids do homework and attend school on a regular basis, God forbid. What an ass. Thank goodness not every guy in America’s like you. The young women of my generation aka future mothers would be in trouble.

I was an accident. My mom was on birth control when I was conceived. And then my dad wouldn’t let her have an abortion. They got divorced (obviously). I really enjoyed your post. Very honest. I’m sure my parents post would be pretty similar haha. Might not be a bad thing you missed large parts of your kids lives. If you weren’t capable of being a good father than probably a good thing you weren’t there. Doesn’t mean you’re a bad father either.

What deeply fulfills a woman is NOT what fulfills a man. If a wife is fulfilled, then why not a husband. Why sanction men to women’s desires? If this is an ex-wife, and she had a child that you didn’t wish to have, that speaks volumes for the dissolution of the relationship based on divergent needs. Nice to hear someone being honest. No judgement here. I’m glad for your eldest’s mother-daughter connection. May you foster and keep your own connections with your daughter over the days you both have left.

Ditto agree. But clearly he went on to enjoy being a parent once he got over himself, as many people do. Someone mentioned unplanned pregnancies – probably there are more unplanned pregnancies in history than planned ones, some have ended in abortion (from time immemorial) and others have gone on to produce babies, some of whom – probably most – are loved, in some cases by adoptive parents. But before that, when they first discovered the pregnancy, probably most of those parents – fathers and mothers both – went “Aaaaggg shit!”

Pretty sure James isn’t your father. Maybe you should call him and address whatever issue is really bothering you. Or you could call people names on the internet for having the audacity to admit the less than sparkling thoughts and habits they live with. I’m not usually one to cluck at the pointless activities people choose on the internet, but c’mon! You’re mad at someone for admitting they have selfish impulses? You’re pathetic. What austere “reality” of yours is he threatening?

With all these blog entries, and all these comments, you’ll probably never see this but I laughed out loud at your retort! Ha!! Touche’.
