I went out to lunch with a coworker......there were issues between "X" and their kid this morning. Apparently, he's always been a bit of a problem child.
On top of that "X" seems to be more than a bit self absorbed. Always worried about how many cars they have, that the house and yard look just as they want it, how many clothes they have, getting the best deal with their money, yadda yadda yadda.
Today at lunch "X" told me that they had a yelling match with their kid over getting him to school (kid is 14) and "X" told the kid (among other things) that he was ruining "X's" life, he was a piece of shit, and wished "X" had never had him in the first place.
How do you say that to your child?
How can you ever say that to your child. I have had so many serious problems with my oldest, and have never and would never say it. In fact I stopped communicating with my mum for, years, when she said,perhaps it would be better if he had never been born.
I speak to her now when I have to, but only as a Lapsed Catholic, I don't want the guilt of her dying and not made up on the surface at least.
Some people should never be allowed to have kids. My oldest still asks if I regret marrying his father, the violent alcoholic.My answer is always the same,How could I. if I had not, then I never would have had you.
My blood was boiling when I read that. What a selfish, self absorbed prat.!
