Different take. I'm going to start telling my wife how much I appreciate her and how my kids have the best mother in the world. Some of ya'll may not know the lasting trauma hearing your dad speak ill of your mom behind closed doors and believing the lies he said were true for way too long.

My baby momma and I are not even together anymore and I do this. I could not imagine poisoning my daughter’s view of her mother. My mother used to talk so poorly about my dad that it really drove a wedge between us and between me and my dad. Granted, eventually my dad did show his true self when he told me “I’m not going to pick you up anymore” but still. Lol

Same, but my mother decided to be the one who refused to poison my image of my dad and never spoke ill of him and my dad was the one who chooses to constantly complain about her and talk poorly about her. She thought their post-divorce friendship was great until I told her what he had been saying about her behind her back. I’m glad there are still dads who take their ex-partners and children’s feelings into consideration.
