He put this on his facebook feed and blocked them. He really went through a lot of abuse from EW. DV and using the DC against him as weapons, false allegations (proven to be false) which is still continuing 8 years later so he did support F4J as he saw them as a force for good to help loving Dad's see their DC's but their latest campaign and public trolling of Mylene Klass has really got his back up to the point where he want nothing more to do with them.
He loves shopping in Mothercare for our DC's with me, his Mother use to shop in Mothercare and he has never been refused access to the baby changing room there or anywhere. He said if he did have that problem he'd phone head office or write a letter. He is digusted that grown men are objecting to the name Mothercare as well, sees the whole thing as ridiculous and just the usual obsession with what he call's ist's and ism's.
Personally I don't think he is BU I think he's right. He asked me to post on Dadsnet which I did but we'd also like the opinion of the Mums.
Here's his FB post:

Please Read:
I have long been a supporter of Father's 4 Justice because of what I have been through with regards to my ex witch and my twins.
However today I have removed my support for them due to the fact that they have now become a ridiculous media driven parody of what they once stood for. Their campaign to get Mothercare to change its name is ridiculous in the extreme, their public trolling of Mylene Class's private family business is a disgusting example of the bullying and abuse that any decent gentleman or Father would be wholly against.
Also their deletion of any comment on their feed by anyone who disagrees with what they are doing is not only extremely rude, undemocratic and biased but also borderline fraudulent in my opinion in the arena of the public opinion of the very people they perport to represent. i.e . Us Dad's!
If anyone wishes to share and post this comment or put it on the Father's 4 Justice page please do so because I have blocked them in light of the above.

Hmm, re Mylene Klass: the media are pretty quick to call out deadbeat Dad's who don't bother with their kids, Dwight Yorke, Liam Gallagher, Callum Best and Peter Andre have all had a kicking for it at one point or another. So I don't really care if mothers behaving badly get called out too. And Mylene does seem to have behaved absolutely horrendously and used her higher media profile to give her ex a right kicking. I find it hard to muster up much sympathy for her.

Is this how grown adults are supposed to act?

Are you referring to F4J or someone who refers to the mother of his children as a witch?

Papafran · 27/08/2017 14:30

Huh? I thought the whole Myleene Klass thing was 2 years ago? Why is he posting this now? What is F4J's latest campaign?

BoneyBackJefferson · 27/08/2017 14:30

You would have thought that if he was really that bothered he would have spelt her name correctly.

BoneyBackJefferson · 27/08/2017 14:32

Is this how grown adults are supposed to act?

You ask this when you are posting for someone who supported F4J whilst he got what he needed and is now slating them because he doesn't need them anymore.

The hypocrisy is strong with this one.

vichill · 27/08/2017 14:37

No gentleman would ever identify with such a rabble of neanderthals. I'd put money on you being ex witch II one day.

SerfTerf · 27/08/2017 14:38

Auto correct from wife to witch? Hmm..

No mine won't do it either. Not vice versa Hmm

GetOutOfMYGarden · 27/08/2017 14:38

"Ex witch"

"He asked me to post on Dadsnet which I did but we'd also like the opinion of the Mums"

"If anyone wishes to share and post this comment or put it on the Father's 4 Justice page please do so because I have blocked them"

He sounds like a proper tool OP and so do you. Pretty sure most of his FB friends have no idea he supported F4J anyway because very few people give too much of a shit about randoms on fb

SerfTerf · 27/08/2017 14:40

Here's a free tip for you OP. Your boyfriend is neither "decent" nor a "gentleman". He also sounds none-too-bright.

OutToGetYou · 27/08/2017 14:46

I don't think he can complain they are undemocratic and biased when their whole model is to BE undemocratic and biased. Their behaviour has never been sensible or "democratic" and they are clearly biased. It's a bit odd that he feels his "support" should be so important to them.

He needs to move on and ignore them.

Its a shame, really, as I think some fathers could do with some sensible support in the face of what sometimes are unfair results in family court cases, and I think to an extent the judicial system is trying to address this. But F4J have always been nasty twats and it's strange that he didn't see that.

His post is nonsensical so he should just get over himself really.

bluegrape · 27/08/2017 14:57

It does sound a teeny bit as if you imagined that he'd get a virtual pat on the back op.

blackteasplease · 27/08/2017 14:58

They are shits OP. Far more interested in the rights of adults than of children.

LemonSqueezy0 · 27/08/2017 15:02

I'd be interested to have further clarification on his comment about the 'obsession with ists and isms..' Hmm

furlinedsheepskinjacket · 27/08/2017 15:02

lol at the irony of fathersforjustice wanting mothercare to change their name

BeeFarseer · 27/08/2017 15:09

I'm loving the grand announcement, as though we weren't already aware F4J were a bunch of misogynistic twats.

Well done to him for finally realising, but posting multiple times about this does come across as though he's wanting praise.

Why can't he post himself?

Keepthebloodynoisedown · 27/08/2017 15:13

A friend of mine went to a F4J meeting once, he said it was the most pathetic thing he'd ever seen.

I don't think you can call out a group after calling the mother of your children a witch of FB tbh.

thecatfromjapan · 27/08/2017 15:18

I know that this isn't Relationships but you're here, and so am I, and I just want to say that your dp sounds really hard work and just fun-less.

It's a sunny day. You're meant to be in love. Why on earth has he got you posting inanities on MN and all wound up and involved with his ex?

And, yes, F4J have been a bunch of woman-hating bastards all along.

thecatfromjapan · 27/08/2017 15:18

LTB.

Jux · 27/08/2017 15:28

Cancel the cheque.

SophoclesTheFox · 27/08/2017 15:33

lol at the irony of fathersforjustice wanting mothercare to change their name

Arf! Mothercare's response should just be "OK. You first".

kali110 · 27/08/2017 15:36

Bloody hell, he makes a typo and is now being lynched for it instead of a sensible discussion Confused
Op, id give up.
Oh and i dont think your partner sounds awful or 'not very bright'.

Gorgosparta · 27/08/2017 15:38

Why do you keep posting this?

Why can't your DP post it himself if he is so bothered?

FrustratedTeddyLamp · 27/08/2017 15:39

Whilst ex witch isn't great are we really gonna compare that to the countless cunts we see thrown about to talk about exs

anotherAnotherUsername · 27/08/2017 15:43

You were unreasonable expecting any kind of reasoned reply on MN!

Your DH needs a lot of help with his SPAG.
