Dad going to Disneyland without his son

You sound like a bully. I hope he and his girlfriend have a lovely time away.

You deciding another woman is a bimbo is horrible. How would you like it if others were labelling you a bimbo behind your back.

OP he’s told you that his ex is ruining him financially - from that I deduce he must be paying as he should. He doesn’t have to like it as long as he does it, which, taken at face value seems to be the case. And yet you say in your post that he’s stingy with his ex. Both can’t be true. I think you’re making a lot of assumptions - you don’t know these people very well so you can’t know what’s actually going on in their private lives, and if he’s being fair to his kids, then where he and his girlfriend choose to go on holiday is really nobody’s business but theirs.

I'm assuming Disney Paris? Can't think of anywhere more godawful to go - did it a couple of times with children, but it's utter hell on earth so why any adult would choose to go without children is way way beyond me!

Obviously I may well be in the minority.

I’m not sure how any of it is your business to be honest? Adults are allowed to enjoy Disneyland too. Yes it would be nice to take the child but as a parent, it’s also nice to enjoy things without a kid in tow. I’d mind your own business, you haven’t come across that nice to be honest.

YABU. We’ve been the DLP 4 times, twice with the kids, twice without. We’ve also been to WDW Florida and didn’t take any of the kids. We didn’t feel guilty any of the times we didn’t take the kids 🤷‍♀️ It’s important to prioritise your relationship.

I wouldn’t be too quick to condemn either of them based on the terminology OP uses in her posts. She hardly knows any of the participants in the drama she’s created and I’d bet the farm things are anything but how they seem.

Sorry but like other posters you lost me at ‘bimbo’. You’ve been so incredibly rude and condescending about a woman you don’t know that I really can’t take the rest of your concerns seriously. It’s none of your business. If you’re not particularly close to any of them take a step back - you’re way too invested in the drama.

he wasnt a married man when they got together.

It doesn’t actually make her a bigger twat. She’s not seriously skimping on the time, effort, love and money she provides for her son. She’s not sneaking off to a child’s dream holiday and keeping it secret from her child because she can’t be arsed bringing him. She’s not flaunting a relationship with a younger woman while whining about how much her own child costs her.

Since we are declaiming grand principles, you can let the most noble of causes be wrecked by your fixating on one detail and blowing it up to bigger than everything else even though it isn’t. I do not for a moment support bimbo but I think the op would be less inclined to use the term if the man weren’t walking around with a neon sign above his head that said ‘massive selfish twat and shitty dad’. Let’s focus on that.

Yabu. Adults are people in their own right, this identity isn’t tied to their children. Totally fun to go to Disneyland as an adult and enjoy.

Man goes on holiday with girlfriend. And?

“Bimbo” is awful.

Youre correct that he's a shit dad, I don't know anyone who would go to Disneyland without their dc's. But he's made it quite clear he doesn't give a crap about his kid and resents having to pay for him so I wouldn't be so surprised.

Don't call women bimbo's - it's misogynistic.

A dad going to Disneyland and not taking his kid... he's a twat.
You referring to new girlfriend as "bimbo", "not alot brain activity going on"... makes you a bigger twat.
You can wreck the most noble of causes with your language.

I think it’s sad & selfish of the man.

These people are not even related to you so what concern is of yours how they live their life. Just say: Nice and move on.

DH and I are going to Orlando next week. We don't have kids and his are adults so it'll just be the two of us. We've done it before and love it.

She would ofcourse, but in this case the woman does look and acts like a bimbo.

This woman has blonde hair and giggles. So she is a thick bimbo.

I think you need to unpick why the f you are so invested in people you hardly know and are verbally abusive about a woman you don't know.

Odd.

Exactly right!

Bet you and the ex have both enjoyed slagging his girlfriend off haven’t you?

What the fuck's any of this got to do with you? Wind your neck in and leave people alone.

He’s entitled to a holiday without his child in the same way the mum can have a child free holiday at some point, if she wants to. A holiday as a couple vs a family holiday are two completely separate activities.
Calling his new partner a bimbo makes you sound silly. Why are you so invested?

Awful man. Why on earth are he and his girlfriend wanting to go to Disneyland, for goodness sake? It's primarily a kids' fun place. I can't think of anything worse.

He is stupid and selfish.
