Should a person put their kids before their partner? Should it be that way all the time?
EveWasFramed said:Again, I will chime in and say it's about balancing everyone's needs. lol
EveWasFramed said:A childs "needs" should always come first - that's our job as a parent. I guess each parent decides how we define "need."
I subscribe to BALANCE when it comes to relationships and children.
perfanoff said:^ well if the case is choose one or the other. Hopefully that will not happen though..
Evil_Genius said:Yes - Absolutely. You are responsible for them and their primary role model. I have seen too many kids left to fend for themselves and fight for any attention, especially bad attention, because mummy or daddy have a new F%*kbuddy.
Tiina63 said:What about when the children are adults? Should they still always come ahead of their parent's partner? I once had a relationship with a man who had two adult children in their thirties and he always put them first to the extent that my needs were completely neglected and overlooked. I finished with him after a very painful and lonely time. While I can understand and agree that young children should always come first, I feel that when it comes to adult children that the partner should be treated equally as well as they are.
