Man Asks If He Was Wrong For Shouting At His Ex In Front Of His Daughters

Parenting is a journey fraught with challenges and unexpected twists, often testing our patience, wisdom, and ability to handle delicate situations. In this article, we delve into a heartfelt account that sheds light on the complexities of co-parenting and the profound impact parents' actions can have on their children. The story is about a dad having an argument with his ex, and it takes an unexpected turn.

The dad (OP) has three daughters, and their mom left them for another man. Because OP is a man, he doesn't have any knowledge about women's problems, like periods, for example. When his oldest daughter had her period, she was so confused and embarrassed that she didn't know how to handle it. Then, she called her mom to ask for advice, but her mom didn't answer. As a result, the OP searched for everything related to women's periods and shared it with his daughter. He even prepared a discussion about periods with his middle daughter, which led to a clash with his ex-partner, unleashing pent-up frustrations and hurtful accusations.

His daughters witnessed that fierce argument, and now the OP wonders whether he was wrong for shouting at his ex in front of his daughters. So, he posted his story on the r/AmItheA**hole subreddit to ask the Internet for their opinions. Scroll down to read the entire story.
