    Stop bashing LW!

    Please people. She wrote in for advice, and is at least perceptive enough to have reservations! Bash the neglectful boyfriend/Dad if you want, but LW is at least looking for the right answer, and bashing her will not help.

    That said, Cary is right. And, if you treat children as burdens they will become burdensome.
