Enough - time to move on

"In the "I know what I am talking about and you dont" way."

First off, I never said you didn't know what you were doing. I asked if you had talked to someone about it. And specifically, that situation.

"In the "I am smarter and wiser than you" way. In the "Anybody who thinks like you is a fool" way."

Where in the world did you get that from? I'll be the first to admit that I don't have all the answers and that's just being plain honest. I seem to have struck some kind of nerve with you about your situation.

"In the "you are not educated and need to read a book" way. in the "Your counselor doesn't know what he is talking about" way."

Um I definitely don't know where you got this from. I just asked if you talked to your C specifically about how to approach this with your kids. But hey, their your kids not mine.

"But mostly in the arrogant "If you don't agree with me, you are wrong" way."

Again, I have to laugh about this. I never said you had to agree with me and I never say that I'm right and you're wrong. The last time there was a guy who was perfect, he could walk on water. Last time I checked, you and I aren't him.

Look, I get it. I have two kids of my own when my W was going through her sitch. She had an A with her boss whom she saw every day. Was I p*ssed and wanted to say something to the kids? Of course I did. But then I realized in the long run it wouldn't have done the kids any good. So I went to my C and my kids' C and asked how to approach it. And I'm glad my kids came out of the experience fine with no resentments and no judgements on their mom. And my W thanked me for not getting the kids involved.

You're angry, resentful, had your pride hurt, etc. I get it. But you taking it out on someone who just had your kids' well being in mind (again, I want to stress that I'm sure you do too), isn't doing them or you any good.

But of course that's my two cents. They're your kids not mine. I'm not the one that's going to have to deal with them when they grow up and their relationships. That's not being condescending, that's just the truth.

How you choose to raise your kids is up to you. Always will and always has been.
