Is this ok?

[Catbumfomo]

My partner told me today that we’re not properly celebrating MD as he doesn’t think I fully embrace being a mum. I think I do, I love my kids so much. But I also have a life outside of them. I guess this is wrong?

It's very rare something truly shocks and horrified me on here, but you have OP.

YABU op

you should not go out with friends or do anything for
yourself ever again. That’s what being a good
mother means.

blah blah bullshit

do you think anyone on here is actually gonna tell you that?

Well isn't he a pompous arse!

Does he honestly believe that 'fully embracing' being a parent means having no life away from your DC?

Is it school hols in the UK now?

Wtaf are you with this scum bag? Bb

And there lies the problem. He's jealous that you have a life outside of the home

This

Yep, same. The quality of the bullshit posted has really gone downhill. At least the made-up shit used to be funny.

Sorry, I am real. I guess I’ve just never been without him really. You’re all right though

I’m sorry that this is real. But start asking for him to stop with the shitty comments and insist on him valuing you as a mum and get him to do a md next Sunday instead.

Wow, it sounds like he’s a sanctimonious manager putting you on a PIP for not “embracing company culture” or some such shit!

Since when did being acknowledged on Mother’s Day become a reward dependent on giving up your entire life in service to your family?

Your husband is an abusive, manipulative, controlling piece of shit. What the fuck does he know about being a mum?

This is not OK. This is so far from OK that I'm stunned you have to ask.

Sounds to me like he’s just jealous you have a social life and he doesn’t

How suffocating for your kids. What's he going to do when they leave home?
It's far healthier for you to have interests outside the family.

I'd never be able to forgive that. And I'd never touch him ever again. Who does he think he is?? He knows nothing of what being a mother means. Prick.

Punishing you for having a life and not fitting his obviously very narrow idea and unrealistic idea of 'mother' ? Very off. Would be asking for an explanation and put it all back in him with questions.

That's not the definition of a great parent.

Great fathers model good relationships for their children. Even if the parents are separated, great fathers model how that's done. He's not a great father.
