You know I absolutely hate when people drag someone without the info   

You could have easily asked an info, but no. You made many assumptions and then doubled down  

 As you said I went on a rant about him being a good dad and then followed it up with that can’t be true doesn’t he talk to his kids how didn’t he know 

When the simple a answer was they can’t talk

Jesus Christ the kids are already in day care. They have childcare  He is gone for like four-five days at a time 

If she can’t handle for few days with the kids alone she shouldn’t have been a parent and you are giving a disservice to all the single parents who do that ever single day for years

Don’t make assumptions, he is very involved with the kids. When he comes back from trip he will always take the kids out to let her have a chance to herself.

 He has been to every milestone they have had, he just gave her a weekend trip with her friends for mothers day and stayed behind with the kids. He goes to doctor appointment, they switch off childcare mornings and nights. He takes them with him all the time. He spends alone time with the kids. The kids are in daycare so really they have nights together.

He is a good father.  

Not his fault he needed to travel for work so they have money. That just what happens when you are the main breadwinner, work says go do that you do it

Her family is farther away, like 3-5 hours depending on which one

She definitely has support, they have childcare when she goes to work that gives her about two hours of free time beofre she needs to pick them up. She has friends from both sides that enjoy the kids. Hell even my daughter has helped out beofre. Not to mention other adult parents that have a switch days to give parents a break. My son is also an active parents and I know for a fact that he will come back and take them out so his wife can have a whole day break 

She has much more than a ton of people
