Dad going to Disneyland without his son

My father went to Disneyland a couple of times in his 40’s- he did bring me back a Minnie Mouse fridge magnet. 😆
Now he’s 84, and although I wasn’t bought up by him after the age of 4 and he never paid maintenance, I’m still expected to look after him now he has dementia. He has put himself first his whole life.

I see no problem. I also see that it’s not your business.

It's actually funny 🤣 🤣!

So the OP claims by Bimbo she meant "an unintelligent brutish man" who is blonde and giggles a lot. What absolute rubbish.

‘ you can disagree with someone without making personal attacks’
Oh, the irony!

Take a look at any thread where the OP's husband has left her for a younger woman and you will see vile misogyny out in full force when speaking about the other woman.

Of course he can go on holiday where he likes. It doesn't make him any less of a shite parent.

Female solidarity is in calling out an appalling example of misogyny from one woman to another. And a grown man can make a decision on holidaying anywhere he likes as long as his kids are taken care of. And from the OP’s posts it sounds very much as though they are.

Typical - she’s realised her mistake after being called out and is backing up so fast she’s practically beeping. In her OP she said that this woman had very little going on in her brain - possibly more insulting than ‘Bimbo’. We all know what she meant, and a half hearted attempt at the origins of the word won’t change that.

Fucking hell, all of these holier-than-thou comments about the OP using the word bimbo.

I've seen FAR more offensive comments than 'bimbo' directed at younger models that poster's exDHs have left them for. Where is your female solidarity then?

YANBU OP. A grown man going to Disneyland and leaving his child behind is cruel. It's most children's dream holiday.

she does seem really sweet and kind but not alot brain activity going on

OP, just a point re brain activity:

• a lot (with a space) followed by of
• aggressive
• offence

Just being helpful!

You've changed your tune a bit, since getting called out 😂

You lost me at referring to a women several times as a bimbo. Who needs misogynistic men, with women with your attitude.

Plenty adults go to Disney without children. It’s not a pre requisite to take kids. I know lots of absolutely Disney obsessed adults. And not all kids like theme park rides or theme parks in general.

Personally I can't think of anything more boring than a spa hotel in the alps but, unlike you, I'm not passing judgement on you for wanting to go.

Your attitude to him and her is more concerning. Comments about bimbo, not much going on in the brain and ' how a man in his forties can enjoy Disneyland is beyond me'. Me and my ex went to Disneyland several times and i'm going next year with a current partner. So what. I'm over 40.

I’m not sure why what type of woman she is, as if you’re even in a position to accurately judge her - she’d hardly be inclined to engage you in a conversation on theoretical physics as her boyfriend makes small talk on passing, no matter what she dresses like - has anything to do with, well, anything.

Would you consider him any less of a shit dad if she was dressed down? Or in office attire?

People can go on holiday where they want, it’s not an approval situation. I just think it’s odd to go to Disneyland as an adult without children. I used to want to go there as a 6 year old, but the novelty wore off. I’d like very much to go to the alps to a fucking spa hotel, because I’m exhausted, that’s my version of Disneyland!

@ByHardyRubyEagle what holiday destinations do you approve of ?

I couldn’t agree more. Especially one being in his 40s and the other 25… old enough to be her dad though I guess

I can make judgements where I like to and I do think it odd for adults to go on holiday to something that in my view is made specifically for children, or people who have the mental age much younger than their years. Get offended all you like.

DH and I are going to Orlando on Sunday. Just the two of us, his kids are grown up. I find it more 'fucking weird' that you judge people for where they choose to holiday

What utter bilge. You know full well what the usage is.
I don't know if you're male or female but either way you know how the term is used.
You're being offensive about a woman. As has been pointed out. Many, many times.
I'm reminded of another thread and some idiot tried to argue that the N word wasn't offensive because of some usage from 1638.
Racists and misogynists always try to justify themselves.

Not really. I might privately judge them (based on nothing more than my own experience, I hasten to add) but I don't make it my business to get involved and comment on/ invite comment on their choices (excepting specific threads, such as this one, which invites opinions). Most (all) people form opinions about most (all) things inwardly that they don't go around saying.

Because it’s clear from her misogynistic post that she has no actual regard for the wellbeing or feelings of the child or ex.

I'm blonde. But I don't wear babydoll dresses and giggle hysterically non stop.

Why did you mention her being blonde then? What was the relevance?
