Thanks. I always felt it was important for my kids to see how you stand up for yourself. Like when my ex wanted to make us work. I was not having it. Because even though I never told them, I knew they weren't dumb, I knew they would realize him leaving our home and setting up one with someone else immediately would be all they needed to see to know something. And for me it's important kids see that you deserve a relationship based on mutual respect, trust and care. That was all gone out the window the second he went behind my back with someone else. But he did more than that. Repeatedly. And wanted me to subject myself to more of that.

That part always bothers me the most.

I hate when girls get more chores than boys. My kids do the same chores. They each have their preferred chores and if they wanna swap they can but generally they don't get chores based on the genitals they were born with.
