FDH and I were talking about his good friend who is in the process of divorce. He's the father of two girls (tween and teen) that he absolutely worships. Almost every Facebook post is about how wonderful his daughters are (smart, beautiful, talented, whatever). He is always making over the top comments about them. He takes them to Orlando a few times a year just because. He takes them to concerts and brings all of their friends. The always have the latest newest best electronics. He is seriously over the top and the kids are incredibly spoiled. This is all pre-divorce so I can only imagine where this is headed.

So FDH told me that he has a new girlfriend who is a personal trainer who home schools her kids. He's already worked it out that her income will offset what he has to pay in alimony and CS. Seriously? She has her own two kids to support. And I am thinking he likes that she has a little money and doesn't have to work a lot so she can cart HIS girls around to their activities after school while he works.

FDH said "It just occurred to me... what do you think his new girlfriend is going to think about how he worships his girls?"

My response "O.M.G. That poor woman. She has no idea what she's getting into with him. She is never going to think his kids are as awesome as he does and she will get sick of the doting."

I told him it's only a matter of time before there is a new person on my step-parenting site that posts "Please help. I am new here. My new boyfriend treats his children like princesses, doesn't require anything of them, worships the ground they walk on and ignores my kids!!"

We had a good laugh over it. But seriously, I feel bad for her future.
