in front of the child:
i agree 100%
my daughter has never heard me bad mouth her mother eventhough she deserved it, now that my daughter is older she just knows the fact her mom is just a egg donor.
not in front of the child:
perfectly fine by me
To me, it goes further than that. A child whose parent(s) have chosen not to be involved in their lives should be told that "Your mother did the best she could do I guess . . . it wasn't good -- it wasn't near enough -- in fact, it was little to nothing . . . but it was probably all she thought she could do at the time."
A child shouldn't carry the burden of their uninvolved parent(s).
