The father didn't handle the conversation well. He can't have it both ways. He talked to the kid as if he was an adult and the kid replied as an angry grown up man (I'm assuming he's a teen). This idea of upsetting our children and then calling them disrespectful when they get pissed is just ridiculous. Heck... the child was even playing the adult role by trying to explain to him him his issues with thier mum shouldn't affect thier relationship, but the pop was behaving the the teenager. So he shouldn't complain when he's addressed as one.

MansoryMX:
From what the father said, their mom isn't a peaceful person but violent and she is responsible for this show of shame! Thinking anyone gives a fvxk about her and her kids or her kids daddy. Nobody fvxking care woman! If you can't create a peaceful home, don't disturb us with your family issues. We all have ours.

Michelle55:
He ironed his dad out quite well, whatever beef the man got with his baby mama has got nothing to do with his kids, in fact he shouldn't have mentioned her in his conversation with his son.

More reason why it's best to raise my kids alone without involving their deadbeat father if that ever happens, I no get time to shalaye.
Just don't teach them to hate, they would turn out great eventually.

JasperVII:
The woman is going to end up poisoning the minds of the children against the father. It's happening already.

SeriouslySense:
Maybe i am wrong, because i do not fully understand what went on, but from my experience as a kid, i notice parents may be unable to handle their responsibility, and it helps to calm them down. when they are calm they are able to perhaps act better.

UniversalDove:
Dont blame the 13 year old boy.
He doesn't understand life yet, neither does he understand how manipulative mothers/women can be.

Once he gets older, he'll understand the true story

agabusta:
You guys did not understand the conversation.

The kid was the one that mentioned their Mum first that she'd bring them over to get the gifts.

The man then replied that he'll bring the gifts himself when he's free. He obviously does not want to see the woman because according to him, she stressed him when he contacted her to get their sizes for the gifts.

Kobojunkie:
Contrary to what many of us like to conveniently believe, children aren't stupid nor are they imbeciles. Many a times, they already know the answer. They just need you to tell it to them. So when you feed them lies and make up silly excuses,you hurt them.

SeriouslySense:
Except children are also very forgiving and remeber the good qualities of their parents, so the mother could be reinforcing some attitudes, may be unconsciously though./

Karleb:
Women need to do better when it comes to choice of husband.

They are always complaining a man is deadbeat but they have no idea how it hurts the kids.

ExAngel007:
A boy's conversation with his father about his Christmas gift has been shared online by the boy's mother and this has started a debate.

In screenshots of their chat, the boy asked his father if he got him and his siblings anything for Christmas and the father said he did.

The boy then asked his father how they can get the gift but the father said they will get it when he is "free" because their mother did "too much" and she made him "mad".

The boy hit back and asked his father why his mother making him mad should have anything to do with his kids.

The boy also told his father that it's fine if he didn't get them anything for Christmas but insisted his father shouldn't blame it on his mother.

The father then called the son and asked him to pick the call but he refused and replied to his father, "I'll call you when I'm free."

Sharing the screenshot, the boy's mother wrote: "And my son handled their deadbeat daddy very well! He think he can tell my 13 year old anything! He outspoken, not disrespectful."

Richy4:

We might share different opinion but I won't want my kids tell me such crap...
The father was not a role model no two ways about that but in a normal circumstances..
No 13yr old child of mine will tell me that he will return my call when he is free...If u see nothing wrong with it, that is perfect, but I do..and I frown at any kind of disrespect..

SeriouslySense:
You are right, if you can remember yourself as a kid, then you know you were very smart too already.
Except children are also very forgiving and remember the good qualities of their parents, so the mother could be reinforcing some attitudes, may be unconsciously though. Or The child is exposed to their business and already understands who is always dishonest.

Kobojunkie:
As a child, I remember how hurtful it was to listen to the iies my parents fed me and how disgusting it felt to watch them pretend they did no wrong by it, the same ones who told me lying was wrong!

You can't live by one standard while you preach another and think your kids don't see through it all. They aren't fools.

LadySarah:
All I got to say is that Nigerians are paying for ielts while I'm reading this mumbo Jumbo.

Our leaders have wrought wickedness on us.

Richy4:

Assuming that in the course of their conversation the father asked him to call him someday and he said that, I would have said he was being sarcastic...
His father putting a call through to him and him, ignoring the calls and makes such remarks changed the narrative in my opinion

Prettychild:

The truth is that you can’t get respect from a child whose Mum you disrespect

Panda7:
white women and their typical bitchily lifestyle, she has succeeded in turning the kids against their father not minding the father's side of the story. if you are not ready to submit to a man there is no point in trying to get pregnant for him. if the man had wills he would take away the kids from the mother and prevent them from seeing her so you can narrate the other side of the story and see the need for early family planning.

Foodqueen:
If u know how bittered single mothers are, you will know she type that shit herself.

Baddosqqi:


How do men develop the heart to leave their child with a lady? I can't. And I won't. And will never leave my child for a lady that left me because I went broke and began calling me deadbeat. Pure nonsense! REDPILLARZONE
