I Hate It When Parents Bad Mouth the Ex In Front of the Kids

I Think It's Sooooo Wrong!!!!!!...
[b]This is a topic with which I have abundant experience. I had two kids with my first husband before realizing that he was still a kid himself. I had seen how running the absent parent down ,really affected kids.....although my ex was a first class jerk , and never did anything for my kids, I was always very careful not to run him down in front of the kids. The only knew that they loved their father. Both of them are in their mid to late 20's and have found out about the kind of person he is all by themselves....he didn't need any help from me!![/b]

Ugh, my parents did that, and still do. I'm sorry, but I tire of hearing about how my father beat my mother (yet she gleefully tells of attempting to kill him), how he was a terrible alcoholic, blah blah blah. And I tire of hearing about how my mother hit my father, and how she is a crazy bitch when she's mad. I'm tired of hearing "How can you ever want to spend time with him/her?" I know my parent's faults all too well, having been on the receiving end of them myself, and don't wish to constantly reminded of them. I am tired of hearing the same warnings (albeit with slightly differing details) about each parent from the other. But, what to do? The words "I don't care" don't mean anything to them, they are just invitations for a later guilt trip.

Sorry for the rant.
