AIBU to be incensed by this DM article - reluctant 'housedad'

here

What a juvenile, petulant, pathetic, sniveling excuse for a 'man'. Am racking my brains for what his good-looking wife sees in him.

Must give up reading the DM.

only read a bit because i could stand to read any more of his self indulgent drivel, but christ, what a wanker!

oh dear. I think they're heading for the divorce courts..I wonder what on earth he expected children were going to be like? I feel sorry for his wife.

He looks as miserable as sin in every photo. The poor wife. She could do so much better.

Words fail me.

All I can say is Oh My God...

VinegarTits · 14/04/2011 13:13

i love the comment by the reader who says he should be resenting the ugly tree Grin

dearyme · 14/04/2011 13:14

he comes across as a whiny pathetic arse

cant imagine what she sees in him tbh

MrSpoc · 14/04/2011 13:15

To me it seemd that a woman wrote it taking the piss.

mashpot · 14/04/2011 13:32

Will be lovely for his second son to read that he was a crushing disappointment. What a knob.

harpsichordcarrier · 14/04/2011 13:34

It's a parody, surely? I love how he makes sweeping generalisations that his utter knobbery is 'like lots of men'.... ER, NO, twatface, it really IS just you!
I mean, how old is he? 6?????

ChaoticAngelofchocolateeggs · 14/04/2011 13:34

What a selfish, self centred idiot. What did she see in him in the first place?

whatsallthehullaballoo · 14/04/2011 13:36

He is a pathetic excuse for a parent. He strikes me as a little boy that wanted to be mothered by his wife...in fact I think he is one of those creeps that likes to have his wife dress him up in a man size nappy and breast feed him....argh. I get the feeling his life is about to get a whole lot worse after this article.

zookeeper · 14/04/2011 13:36

more fool her though for marrying someone who was clearly so disinterested in her firstborn.

EasterEggsHaveNoCalories · 14/04/2011 13:38

What a prick!

MissVerinder · 14/04/2011 13:43

Ugh. I was sick in my mouth a little bit then. And he's just so.... ugly. I'm sure if he was nicer those jowls would disappear. I say he has NPD and wifey would do well to leave him.

peeriebear · 14/04/2011 14:41

I'm amazed at how little regard he had/has for his stepdaughter. Regardless of her relationship with her bio father, he is still a role model for her- and what a model! He is a massive bellend.

nijinsky · 14/04/2011 14:48

He doesn't work, he isn't a looker, he presumably doesn't contribute financially - he would be advised to concentrate on being a great husband, father and SAHD then, because he's got nothing else going for him. What a pity that he can't see how lucky he is to have his family around him, when he has nothing else worth so much in his life, and see them as a source of what they bring to his life, rather than what they supposedly take away from it.

(and does he really think life doesn't change over time).

princessparty · 14/04/2011 14:54

he is not a nob or a prick.He is just a man wanting a bit of romance and intimacy with his wife.I think some wives are too much of a 'mother' at teh expense of being a 'wife'.the guy is brave enough to say what a lot of men feel.

GeekCool · 14/04/2011 14:54

peeriebear I noticed that too, utterly uninterested in her. What a pile of crap. Sounds like his male ego has taken a dent that she is the breadwinner.

GeekCool · 14/04/2011 14:55

princessparty it's also a very one sided acccount so who knows what really happens. I get the feeling he distorts reality to suit himself. At least two of the children must be in school.
How awful it must be for him

Psalmead · 14/04/2011 14:58

Surely it's not actually real?

princessparty · 14/04/2011 14:58

I am sure he is exaggerating to make the piece a bit more interesting
