Like all parents, I made mistakes but was always there for my children, home cooked meals, no housekeeper and made time for them every evening. When they were in 1st grade, were at a 6th grade reading level. Sometimes quality time is better than quantity time. Most of my SAHM friends only served pizza & burgers to their families, houses were messy and they spent most of their days at the mall with their kids.

Now that was an exceptional ending. She said she loved her kids, however she's thinking about her rights rather than what was right and moral for the whole bunch. Her rights were not right expressed in front of her children. If marriage wasn't exceptable, than living together should not have been exceptable morally either. Do what is right all around. Never allow your children to be exposed to what you believe is right for you, when there not old enough to decide what is acceptable to them. To choose wrongly is to choose wrongly for your children. I think her boyfriend should have considered the girls also when deciding to move in. Do what's morally right everytime always and all goes well everytime. And if the mother wasn't selfish she would not have put her girls to war against the dad, or expose them to the court system. Swallow our pride and concentrate on others-centered, not self centeredness.😊🤔

It is a better example for the kids to not just shack up with someone, BUT that's Not to be used as an Excuse to try to take Children away. Glad all ended well.

The dad was not heartless, because he agreed to her keeping the kids if she married her live-in lover. For that same reason, neither was he vindictive.

Unpopular opinion: If you’re living with a man, why don’t you just marry him? What is the point of playing house, and you’re not ready to make that type of commitment? You don’t believe in marriage, yet you’re playing like you are and risking losing your children, in the process? I, myself do not desire marriage. I absolutely don’t want to share a space with a man. I don’t see the point in living with a man, who wants to marry you, if your goal isn’t marriage. Take your kids and move out. The father is not wrong for not wanting his kids to be involved with her antics. He’s not driven by jealousy, when he clearly asked her to just marry the man she’s living with. I’m not saying she’s wrong for moving how she wants…but what is the point? 😒
