I am just lost for words, part of me is mad the other part wants to laugh 😆

2 ex's, both came from loving homes but are the most selfish Men I have ever encountered.

My dad was raised partly in care, and then with his dad but still support me. My grandad worked from age 11 still supports me.

But my feckless ex's- what the hell has happened to men nowadays...

First ex, stopped contact for 9 weeks at the start of lockdown, didn't say why, just stopped. Came out it was because his dp is pregnant. Ok cool he could of still said something but not a big deal dc are teens. The October, stops contact again for 2 weeks even though I got the ds's tested for contact.

Now I said because of what is happening, plus my grandad is going through radio therapy etc contact needs to pause for two weeks. Now he's stating government guidelines and saying it's up to the boys.
My grandad, their great grandad, has been their father firgure for their whole life's, plus has done the school runs for 5 yrs. Ex on the other hand doesn't bother with anything.
See the ds's like mates. Changed CMS 4 times this year after 7 not paying.

Now my other tit of an ex, stopped CMS in July and CMS have forced payment this month and now they are going to lower it because he's struggling GrinGrin
Well what did I do the whole pandemic?...
He's worked through the whole thing, and lives alone.
He hasn't asked about his Ds either since January.

I know there are good men but damn I just don't seem to find them at all.
If it's not cock pic's it's men moaning about the mean ex's.

I've gone without food, spent a week eating beans on toast just so the dc has food and new PE kit, glasses, school trips all those bloody extras.

And my ex's can't go without beer and Only fans lol 😂

Why dont theses men and their parents not take pride in supporting their dc's?...
a therapist I saw told me ' it's because you will always do what they won't, so there is no need' but still.

My ex was raised by a single
Mum so you would think he would want to be more involved with his own children but he hasn’t seen them in 2 months, has used Covid as the excuse?! My son needed to isolate for 2 weeks As someone in his class tested positive so he said he was staying away (didn’t expect him to see my son) but the other children didn’t have to isolate but I still got “well they could have it” even though they were allowed
To go to school still Hmm that was 2 months ago, hasn’t seen them since. When I pulled him up on it and said I’m not happy that I’ve been left with 100% responsibility I got told “isn’t that the case for most single mums” Honestly I don’t know what is wrong with some of these men.

@Givemeabreak88 so they are all shit them and don't learn even from experiencing hard times with their own mother!
It's just disgusting.

That's my point when he wanted to stop contact he does but when I have to it's a issue.
