...who's ex is a decent guy and a good father. I read post all the time about dead-beat fathers who dont pay their child support and blow off their responsibilities to their kids.. Am I the only one with a decent ex?
He pays CS, sees his son every chance he gets, we get along really well and have even hung out together with our child on occasion (we both took him for his Santa pictures last year!) I mean, he is a good guy, just not the guy for me.
I know there are others out there!!
No, you are not the only one, but it seems that way on this site doesn't it? My sons father is still like one of my best friends. He pays CS and sees our son every other weekend and on Wednesdays. He actually sees him when ever he wants cause he is always welcome at my house. He volunteers at his school and never missed a soccer practice. He helps me whenever our son needs something. Also none of this was done through the court. He is a good guy but not for me, as I would kill him.
I hear a lot about how someones kids father is a looser and an asshole. I'm thinking didn't you realize that before you had a kid with him? Now I know that is not true in all cases but you can't tell me 100% of single moms, who have a dead beat dad for their kid/s, did not know the guy was a loser before sleeping with him.
Well I am still with my childrens father, but I had to reply with my story. When my parents divorced, my mom and dad stayed good friends. Dad always took care of everything us kids needed, and even helped mom out with things around the house. When dad got remarried mom even went to his wedding! Even today 13 years later, mom still goes to dads house for holidays and birthdays. I know by my parents example that it is possible for parents to be friends after a divorce.
I am one of those moms... My children's father and I get along great as do my soon-to-be husband and him.. I do not fear my children's safety when they are with him and tehy love him dearly so why not get along. We are both in it for the best interest of our children and them seeing us arguing or not getting along is not setting a agood example for them in the future. Why hate one another- the only ones hurting from that are the children and if you care about them enough- you eat crow or whatever and let bygones be bygones.

I totally agree, in fact part of the reason I left him was because I thought having kids with him would be a mistake- he wasnt a great father to his first born-- then BAM! pregnant--- but I told him straight up he was going to be 100% a Father or not one at all-- so he stepped up. It was too late for us, but not for our baby-boy.
My ex takes care of our dd I mean he dont have to pay cs but when he did he was never late but now we have shared parenting and he has her aother week .... we get along for our dd and have even done thing together and also gets long with my hubby so I dont have any problems with my dd dad ..he also buys her outfits for over @ my house and when she grows out fo her stuff he sends them over for my younger too ....hes a good guy just wasnt in love with him and we didnt really work better of as friends
