Just started seeing this guy - dating but slowly.
He has 2 DDs 15 and 19.
I have DS 13 and DD 6.
He has his girls one night on average a week.
I have mine all the time - no support - they don't see their dads.

He starts spouting off how magical and precious time with your kids is and how amazing they are and you are there whole world its your job to give them the best of yourself blah blah blah to which I said yeah it must feel different when you do get breathing space (not that my kids arnt magical or my world but its different when your overwhelemed and dont have any time away from them right?) and that sometimes kids are very annoying and sometimes they just act like idiots - kids for you (this sort of joking comment) to which he sent me a 6 minute voice note going on about the above.... he then also made a comment that i share too much on instagram (wtf) and maybe i should keep it to myself (wtf) - so basically questioned my parenting/slated my parenting and said i over share (i can confirm i do not) - he very clearly upset me.... then the following day chatting like nothing had happened!

Totally got the ick about it now - told him will speak to him about it this evening....

just needed to vent

The best bit was when he said I was womensplaining to him and mansplaining is just a big thing made up by a bunch of lesbians.... WOW

@Theneverendingcycle You are wasting brain power on this. You met this guy once. You are absolutely incompatible, so stop thinking about him.

Sanctimonious prick, he barely does any parenting and he thinks can mansplain to you about your life.

Throw him back.

Good summary.

@Lougle don't worry I'm not however didn't want to ignore the people who have replied on this thread.

I'm actually proud of myself for calling this out with him, and seeing the flags and not ignoring them - finally I'm gaining some awareness of flags and addressing them haha

And he's clearly had sex with a woman at least twice. What a world. Anything is possible if we open our minds.
