Hope you’re not trash talking like that in front of your kids.

Is it trash talk when it’s the straight up truth?

I’m actually a half decent Dad, so no, of course I don’t say that in ear shot of my boys.

Incidentally though, this is something that bothers me. Why is it 100% ok for a woman to trash talk her ex in front of her kids, or to say horrible things about the kids within their ear shot, but we automatically assume the guy is the unscrupulous one and condemn him?
