As a recently divorced father, the original poster (OP) is still adjusting to his new way of life. The child's best interests will always come f…

Child support wouldn't cover everything

There is nothing more important in life than family. Nothing compares to the value of family, whether it comes from your birth family or your marriage family.

What's the most drastic thing you'd change to appease your bride-to-be friend ? Would you dye or cut your hair? How about covering up your favorite tattoos? Hopefully, your friends wouldn't ask you to change any of these things about yourself, since it's a bit impolite. It implies that the way you dress or act isn't appropriate for a wedding, as u/sinkydoodles found out when their friend tried to do just that. Why bridezillas always think that people will steal their thunder is a mystery to me.…
