eieio
that's my goal. hope it stings
I had to see what exactly Beta had to say about dating and kids
What?
Oh, you mean because Larry's two daughters actually lived with me and I was raising them and had since they were quite young? And that I eventually gave it up and stayed out of the parenting and let their mother and father raise them as they saw fit?
Or do you mean something else?
Help a sistah out.

Mr. Beta...I gave the OP an answer based on my recent life experience and that of others I have known, through my long life. Her original question was answered on her own, before this thread jumped the shark.

Sorry, but nobody just "loses" that amount of expensive stuff, even if they do know that daddy will buy them another one. Beta's right; I don't know what she bought with the money, or what she traded that stuff for, but it didn't just "get lost."
Run like hell.
Pixie does that when she's cornered and knows she's wrong - picks out some random thread and tries to pretend it means something relevant to the topic. Typically, like this latest, it completely blows her argument out the window and makes her look like a fool. But you have to give her credit for trying.

I'll second that.
I have zero desire or tolerance to have anyone piss and moan about my kids. If you don't like them or how I raise them GFY and DIAF. :shrug:
Oh, sure, 13 (14, 15, 16, 17, etc.) can be hell on wheels. (whee!) But he's the dad, she's the kid. She may well turn out fine later, but for now - she's spoiled rotten wicked and he's letting her rule the roost. It's a dangerous combination and just wait until she's 15.
Good luck to you in whatever you decide to do!

oh you were giving good advice! but now I feel old cuz i don't think anyone has called me Mr. before
it was different, that's for sure!
Parents who let their kids do anything they want think they care, but they don't. They aren't caring AT ALL about the kind of person their kids are growing up to be, they don't care about their kids futures...they don't care about anything but the present. And this guy certainly doesn't care about anything else in his life that much, since he allows his daughter to ruin it all. I understand the concept of kid coming first, but this is taken to the extreme.
Read her post again compensating for her likely exagerations and she just described every 13 year old in the world. Differences in parenting styles will easily create friction. It is obvious that this woman is agitated and looking for reasons to make her mans life hell. She probably already succeeded there but just needed confirmation from us. Also, because of biases in the court system, men need to be much more careful than women when it comes to protecting access to their children. It doesn't mean that they should let the child run wild but custody goes away quickly when the child doesn't have a strong desire to be with you. If the shoe was on the other foot and the daughter thought daddy was a "flaming #####", the mom would only be at the courthouse a few minutes to get full custody. It doesn't work that way for the daddy's.

Right, which is why I said in another post you can still spoil your kid without them being a complete #### and raise them the right way. The kid isn't going to turn down all the crap he's giving her if he says "stop losing it or I won't replace it again til next Christmas" or whatever. You can spoil a kid rotten and still have them actually behave and be a reasonable human being.
If the kid is so spoiled that they'd rather live with their apparent loser of a mother than deal with a few rules from daddy, then maybe that'd be a better lesson in life for them anyway. You're responsible for raising your child and this guy clearly isn't doing that.

Not true. My mother would have smacked the crap out of me had I EVER back-talked or threw something at her. In fact, the very few times that I had the balls to back-talk her she did smack me senseless. And when I had the nerve to talk trash as I walked away, she smacked the crap out of the back of my head. So no, she's not every 13 year old in the world. She's this dude's spoiled little biatch of a 13 year old.

I also have to add that my girl(currently 16 on Sunday) has back talked me once in her life when she was about 10....I jacked her up on the wall about a foot, looked her in the eyes, and said "don't back talk me again"....she hasn't

I'm still waiting until the day I'm old enough to back-talk my mom.
I'm 43, have 5 mutts, and one grand mutt and still haven't done it with mine
