It annoys me when people refer to the father of their child as "the sperm donor" as they rant. Even assuming the guy is a total douche....you once loved them enough to have a child with them, and I think that earns them just a tiny bit of respect. Plus, it just makes YOU look bad, IMO. I would hope if anything ever happened with the relationship between DH and I, that we would at least respect each other, especially on a public forum, where your child may one day see it. Thoughts?
Re: FB annoyance...
My mom never said this about my dad, but she should have. I think some people say it when they really shouldn't, but my father is not in my life at all so he really is like a sperm donor. Long story short, but he personally does not deserve any respect by anyone or anything.
ETA: I know what you mean though, some people just make themselves look loose by saying it.
Mine too. My bio father sent me an email in early June saying
"happy birthday.
Paul ______"
Really? lol. My birthday is in August, but um, thanks.
I consider my step-dad to be my actual dad.
Marie are we the same girl? My sperm donor didn't say anything to me on my birthday in August and his name is Paul.
