The reluctant dad. What hes really thinking.

[Darkesteyes]

Article in The Guardian Saw it in my twitter feed.

I get the impression that hes staying because access days will actually involve doing some childcare. He says his partner is a "nag" Wonder if this MAY be because he doesn't do a great deal

God, that's an awful read.

OMG. He's quite a catch isn't he?

God, that is awful to read. His poor son and partner having to live with someone who resents them so. One can only hope that he doesn't let it show, or that he does the decent thing and leaves.

He sounds like a massive bellend. He should have had the snip

Wow he's a real treat isn't he.

"I hoped for a termination, previous girlfriends had"

Wow just wow

Well, fortunately for them, they must have seen him for the massive prick he is and didn't want to be tied to him for life. Lucky for them, unlucky for the mother of his son.

I bet that another reason hes staying is because he wouldn't want to pay Child Support. He already admits that he is resentful "having to support them"

And if they do split (and its possible that his partner might instigate it even if he doesn't) its her that will be having to fork out to even access the new Child Maintenance Service. How is that fair

Gloria he obviously doesn't see contraception as even partly his responsibility.

He blames his partner for being "erratic" with taking her pill.

Then admits that previous girlfriends have had to have terminations. So its not as if he hasn't experienced it before.

The article whiffs of his entitlement.

I wonder how many of his 'previous girlfriends' had their abortions because he was a dick to them about the pregnancies. He really should have just had the snip. What a twat.

He sounds truly horrendous, I feel sorry for his partner but especially for his son. Sooner or later his child is going to pick up on how resentful his fathet feels towards him for existing

That piece is quite trolly. Unless he has a spectacular lack of self awareness

Sadly I have doubts that this is one guys thoughts.

Sounds far too generic to me.

It actually could have been written by my ex apart from the staying together bit. Luckily, I saw sense and left before the baby was born.

Ugh. Just ugh

I agree with Birdhouse. Feels generic and tabloidy
