Ok...I think it is wrong for any parent to abandon their children, but for instance, if a husband and wife get divorced, usually the children go with their mother. No one thinks badly of the dad for only being a part time parent so to speak. He usually isn't the one that does all the major care of the child, but still see them on birthdays and holidays and for a few weeks during the summer etc. No one I know thinks bad of men that are in that type of parental situation. Now, if the tables were

turned and the woman was the one that didn't want to be the custodial parent and the kids went to live full time with the father, why is she so bad. What makes her so different?? I do think that just up and leaving because you hate being a mom is wrong, but sometimes relationships don't work out and parents get divorced...and kids most generally have to deal with 1 full time parent and 1 that is still there, but is in more of a part time parent role. Please tell me how this is wrong?

This woman allows us Japanese to say, "Look at these stupid Americans, yes they kill us with A Bombs... but no A bombs are necessary for them. They will destroy themselves from within. These people can abandon their blood, and in their delirious delusions proclaim that it is a perfectly acceptable life choice." We will use her while she is devoted to us (while she has drunken herself in the false pretenses of gratifying her ego). In the end she will be like a dried plum... a useless prune that

No doubt you have the freedom to decide what you're going to do, but what this woman fails to realize is how when you bring someone else into the mix--i.e., a child--you take on certain responsibilities -and waive your "right" to have it all your way. Sometimes there are many things I'd like to do other comforting a sick child who's vomiting on me at 3am, but I asked for all of this, and I bear the responsibility. Life is about more than whatever I happen to want at any given moment; there are

other people who are affected by my decisions. She obviously cared little about her children or their anguish, she's just a supremely peurile, self-obsessed person. Failing to grasp the truism that life is about more than us is why she has aged so gracelessly and become a rather plain middle aged woman when she was a rather beautiful young woman. There are consequences for actions.

I am totally supportive of people who don't want to have kids and of families where the father is the primary caregiver. But once you pop out babies, it is not okay to abandon them for years at a time (a few-month fellowship is fine). I would feel the same way about fathers abandoning their kids. My brothers' bio mom abandoned them, and while they seem "normal" because my dad gave them a good life, they have underlying abandonment issues, as well as other emotional issues...in the same way my friends

who had their fathers abandon them.
