As a dad of 3 myself, I can say with full responsibility that there are many wonderful things about parenting, but what is not that good about it is the absolute lack of time for things that previously seemed so ordinary to you. Well, for entertainment too…

The author of the post is a 22 Y.O. college student and his parents got divorced many years ago

It happened so that the author’s dad was caught cheating, but his mistress left him too after giving birth to twins

The guy, however, later managed to reconcile with his ex and she even helped him in raising the twins from time to time

So now meet the Original Poster (OP), a 22 Y.O. guy, whose parents have been divorced for a long time, although they managed to remain ongood terms. The thing is that one day, the OP’s dad got caughtcheatingwith a much younger woman, and when she became pregnant and gave birth to twins, she left the kids with their dad and simply left, appearing only sporadically in their lives.

And so, the moment came when the OP’s father somehow met another man and started dating him (the man was always openly bi, according to the OP). After some time, the men decided to tie the knot, and when it was time to go on a3-week honeymoon, the question arose – who will stay with the twins andtake careof them?

“I can’t say about financial relations between relatives, but it seems to me that such a long separation from the main parental figure for these kids can be quite painful for them,” says Irina Matveeva, apsychologistand certified NLP specialist, whomBored Pandaasked for a comment here. “Moreover, the author clearly states that the boys have certain specific behavior, so 3 weeks could be an overly long term for them.”

As for the commenters on the original post, the vast majority of people are simply sure that both the author and his mom did absolutely the right thing in refusing to stay with the twins for so long. “An afternoon is one thing, three weeks is a whole different ball of wax,” one of the commenters reasonably claimed.
