Does anyone else feel guilty

For who their children’s father is? I follow a single dad on Facebook and he seems like such an amazing father, like genuinely loves and adores his child, makes me so sad who I picked for my kids dad (he hasn’t seen them in 3 years) he has the child all the time and just seems to dote on him. Does anyone else struggle with feeling guilty for giving their kids a rubbish dad?

It's not you that should feel guilty, it's the waste of space father that has no interest in his kids.

Yeah thats probably true but he obviously doesn’t otherwise he would be in contact

You made a decision with the information you had at the time, your life circumstances and the you you were at the time.

I managed to have a second child with the idiot. Much more reason to feel guilty. Blush (and now reaping the whirlwind)
