cutiepie. thank you, that's pretty much what i was trying to say... i have learned that a lot of women will SAY they want a relationship, but then when they actually get into one, they find every little thing to nitpick about. just DYING to find a reason to make him out to be a piece of doo doo. however i do not know winx. i think you should just be happy he's willing to help you with your kids! that says a lot right there! maybe he doesn't see having to be asked to help as anything wrong. i certainly don't. most people don't just jump up and offer help if they think you've got it handled.

from what I read this isn't the case.. he is rude and arrogant expects you to do it all sure some things he is willing to do.. But the things he has done to show you who he is? actions speak louder then words.. you want to be with him ..thats ok your choice ..but then don't complain.

I'd say if it's your kid then what you want goes. If you want them to wear a helmet all the time they should no matter what this guys thinks. As far as helping out...I agree. He sounds a little lazy. I don't see why guys can't help out around the house even without being asked...that's just me.


I think they should help without being asked.


that's a no sh*tter

soounds like the "git in the kitchen and get me a beer type"

I've never been a bicycle helmet advocate, but that's just me. I never wore one, and I still don't. I took my share of spills as a kid, but I never aimed for my head as the first place I would land, as apparently people these days do.



That explains alot


rofl rofl rofl rofl rofl rofl rofl


laugh neener neener neener



I dunno about the helmet thing BUT, your kid your rules and joke him if he can't take a...
well you know


EDIT: I finally read this whole thread and decided, yeah I would run his ass off and ignore some of the people who seem to think you should compromise your principles just for the sake of keeping a crappy dude in your house

I am not one to put my personal business on here. But...I'm trying to figure out this guy.

My child was sick. He stayed with my child and watched TV with them while I went to the grocery store. It was dark, cold, and raining.

I came back from the store and asked him if he would help carry the groceries into the house. I had already made a trip. Btw, I have a bunch of steps out front. He stood in the door and asked, "Well, aren't you going to help?"

I told him that while he was watching TV, I was loading the car up with groceries while holding an umbrella in the rain and cold and dark. Couldn't he help bring the groceries in? He said that when someone asks for help, that means that he's helping them and not doing it all.

Another time he was getting to broil a steak. I have a new stove and the broiler pan was dusty. He stood by the sink and as I walked into the kitchen, he asked if I would wash it. I asked him if the sink was too far from him. He washed it.

This week he watched my child while I went somewhere for an hour. I was running late. I made dinner, feed them and flew out the door. When I came back I saw that the remaining food was still on the stove. I asked him why he didn't put the food in the refrigerator. He said that I didn't ask him to do that. He then said, "Well, you ate too."

He thinks my child doesn't need to wear a bike helmet when riding the new adult sized bike they got for Christmas. Said my child didn't need it to ride on the sidewalk of my street but would need it if riding around the park. I want my child to wear it all of the time. I just put this in here to show how he thinks.

Sorry it's so long.ohwell








He's a lazy, inconsiderate, self-centered male chavanuse with no parenting skills.
Not only is he every thing I said he was, but he is setting a bad precedent for your child. He is teaching by example that a relationship is one-sided and that the woman is subservient!

I think you already know what to do you are just procrastinating. Hoping he will change.
Dont wait too long winx. He is probably set in his ways at this age.

Nope. No nitpicker here. Where I come from, a man that cares for you doesn't need to be asked to do such things. It's called being an man with manners. They were very basic things.

I don't think he should get a medal for watching TV with with my child while I'm 3 blocks away at the store.

my age has nothing to do with it. i am used to doing everything myself and don't expect someone to help me do everything. quite honestly, i'd rather just do it myself to ensure it gets done the way i want it done....


I'm used to doing everything myself too. Single parent here from day one. I do expect a man to behave considerate and caring though. I just haven't been able to figure out why he's doing these things.

If you could accept that this is the way he is, it might be easier for you to decide what to do.


Well, that's leaning towards not accepting him for the way he is.
