i'm a bad parent 

so, loser ex told me i was a bad parent.

(to quickly recap, this is the man who left his family, when his kids were 1 and 2 years old.  he hadn't worked in 3 years prior to leaving.  left with 1/2 of all assets, including the kids high chairs.  left us at xmas and moved in with my friend...then proceeded to loss his new job and has not paid child support in 3 years).

anyway...i digress.

so, loser ex told me i was a bad parent because i want to send my kids to the best private school i can afford and he prefers they go to public school to be, and i quote, 'with the scrappy kids'.

what are scrappy kids exactly?  what does he mean?

my kids are scrappy.  aren't they?  do they need more lessons in scrappy-ness? 

so, we have been having ongoing battles about what school to send them to.  (yes, good question..why am i involving him in this at all...don't know).

but i am.

so, i ask him 'don't you mean you don't want to pay for private school?"

he says 'it's not about the money.'

i say 'what money? you haven't given us money in 3 years.'

he says 'that's not the point.'

so, what is the point?

anyone know?

Sounds like your on a hamster wheel with him. Send them to that private school if you want. You are the parent the has the dough and brains. Tell him if he gets some income, he can buy the matching navy blue knee socks. There are good public schools and good private schools. But what they will learn from you, is ETHICS, CHARACTER, MORALS, AND INTEGRITY, that is PRICELESS. Not a school around can teach those invaluable lifeskills!   What a dork. When spouses say hurtful words like that, that is what they feel down deep inside about THEMSELVES. But will never admit it! Good luck.
