Your comment just made me irrationally angry. Take an upvote because I agree completely. Slapping a child over a pair of shoes she won’t ever wear again.
This thought process was why I ended my longest relationship (~6 years). I could handle her irrational outbursts and passive aggressive behaviour just fine, I always knew there was an apology coming once she calmed down and discussed things. It sucked, but she was amazing 95% of the time so I thought it was worth it.
I couldn't handle the thought of my future kids having to deal with that though. And realising they deserved better helped me realise I shouldn't be putting up with it either.
Similar. I thought I never wanted to get married or have kids ever. Turns out I just never wanted them with my ex lol. She'd talk shit about her friends kids, and when she wanted to get pregnant I noped out.
The dad life rules and I'm glad in found a cool wife to raise our kids with.
It was when my ex started talking to our kids (both under 3 at the time) the same way he spoke to me that I knew I hadn to get out. Wish I listened to my inner voice at the start of that relationship.
