This one really makes my blood boil...
I dont understand how people can bad mouth their exes. They were everything you wanted at one time and even though you're not together, they still are that person you fell in love with. Yes I realise there are extenuating circumstances, I'm speaking generally.
On to my point...you're the shittest kind of human if you disrespect/bad mouth your ex in front of your kid!!
When you were together you told them all the time when you praised them how they are just like their dad. It was a compliment that made both of them feel proud, felt loved!
When you're mad and putting your ex down, calling them names *he's an asshole, good for nothing idiot, fucking deadbeat* guess what your kid is thinking......
"I'm just like my dad"
There's no way in hell I'd do it or ever let anyone else talk badly about my ex, especially in front of our daughter. She is and always will be the best of both me and her dad.
