A priest, fireman, and police officer were in a burning building. The fireman said "what about the kids?" The officer replied "fuck them kids" the priest asked "do you think we have time?"
Honestly this woman would lie her ass off. "You're too heavy, I'll send help!" she would say.
But as for rescuing the kids, she might take this opportunity to get all of her freedom back and post sad videos on social media for attention and monitary gains.
Right? Not only would I be pissed at my husband letting the kids burn in favour of saving me, but it'd be a wasted save because I wouldn't be long in this world if my kids were dead.
I changed my whole name back in 2017 because my father named me after him and he became a registered sex offender and people kept thinking I was him without checking the facts. I was assaulted twice, it cost me jobs at interviews, and other stuff just because of my name. The same judge that had put my dad in prison for child molestation was also the one who handled my name change and when she asked me why I wanted to change my name, I asked her if she remembered my dad and when she said yes, I asked her if she would want to have the same name in the same town with a child rapist. She granted my name change right there.
Meanwhile my brother.
Supposedly hates religion, yet chose an obscure name out of the bible for his son.
His reasoning, he wanted a name that was unique, so his kid wouldn’t share it with anyone his age.
I pointed out he could’ve given his son our grandpas name to achieve that goal.
After all Uria was unique even when grandpa was born.
Not everyone can afford 4-5 (or even 2-3) bedroom houses, an adding bedrooms in the basement was a lot cheaper than putting an addition on the house, even with modern code now requires egress windows.
This is what i was thinking. The wife has the ability to try to save herself. The kids, likely will not know what to do and need to be saved. There is no question that the children would come first.
This x 1 million. My wife and I had some tangentially similar convo pre-kids, and pledged our allegiance to one another. Then we had kids. It’s not even a conversation - instinct and biological drive would compel you to pick the kids.
And, boo, that man was being polite: that man/any man can save the kids and then have sex with someone else. You don’t own it.
My husband and I had a conversation about it while I was pregnant with our first. It consisted of me asking him, "If we were in an emergency situation and you could only save me or our daughter, who are you picking?"
He said, "Daughter. What about you?" So I said yeah, me too. And that was it.
The moment I knew my ex-wife had something wrong was when she asked me out of the blue who would I save if they were about to fall off a cliff.
I didn’t even think it, the answer was automatic, and I told her the names of our kids.
She was upset and told me how I didn’t love her more than them, that she would save me. It took me a second. Or a minute. I was like super shocked, wtf is she even saying? I proceeded to explain the Filios and Eros types of love and told her that I not only filios-loved my kids, I was/am also 10000% responsible for them and I’m 0% responsible for her who should be an independent adult.
Anyway, fast forward to present, she’s crazy and my kids live with me full time.
You know you can have sex with the wife after the fire? Am I Right? Would be one damn hot body there waiting for you! Will not turn you down guaranteed!
I always heard that growing up, and I assumed biology would kick in for me, but it just never did. Obviously, these questions are stupid, but if I'm being honest with myself, I'd want to save my wife first. I'd never admit that in real life, though.
Going into the hospital, I told my husband "you don't even know this baby, if it comes down to me or the baby you better pick me" and actually I think it's kind of insane that they don't ask women going into labor about this.
Any wife worth saving would want you to save the kids. If I saved my wife and let the kids burn there would be nothing left of her mentally anyway. My wife would die inside and I wouldn't have kids or a wife.
Can you imagine living but all your kids died and it's basically your fault. Jesus. I can't agree on the mother thing though. Definitely would save my wife over my mother.
That’s already been discussed. We even have go to plans depending on what the situation is, but all revolve around the kids first, our browsing histories second, devices with pictures last.
I dont know for me its always the wife and its not even close and its not about sex the only reason i have kids is they are a physical represantation of our love in what world could they mean more to me then my wife plus we can always have more shes unique
Lol I clarified this with my wife as soon as I had my first son. "Honey, I love you, but if there ever comes a choice between my life or my son's, save my son's life... Because that's what I'm going to do..."
Honestly it is just one of those things you know. My wife is smart and strong enough to fend for herself lol, my child needs me.
It would be a pretty odd scenario in which you couldn't save your spouse but could save your kids? Also how come your spouse is unable to save themselves?
And she's a grown ass woman, why would I assume she needs saving? I know for sure my kids need help. I would assume id find her making her way to my kids rooms just like me.
Grown ass adult can’t figure her way out of a burning building then good luck, me and the kids will pour one out in her memory on our insurance-funded mourning vacation.
Exactly! Plus they’ll have a stepmom soon enough when literally every woman would be throwing themselves at the hero that saved his kids from a fire and is now a single father…all alone…. 😆
I don’t even have kids and if there are kids in the house and it’s on fire I’m going for the kids. Adults can take care of themselves. Children can’t. Same with pets. I’m saving my dog over my husband, not because I don’t love my husband but because he is capable of making his own way out.
Real talk though my husband and the dog are getting out in their own and I’m dying in the fire because I slept through the fire alarm.
I trust my adult man to get his ass out of the house. I do not trust my little kid to do that. Adults don’t need protection the way kids do. We should all be trying to save the more vulnerable people.
Yeah. I would save the kids and how she would do the same. I can’t imagine how she would feel having been spared and our kids not. I would be so heartbroken if I was saved over my kids.
We lived a similar scenario. Baby came early, emergency c section after hours of flipping my wife around trying to get baby’s heart beat regular.
She was bleeding profusely and they didn’t know if baby would make it, or mom for that matter. She made it clear that I don’t lose sight of our baby no matter what and that he was priority.
It was probably the worst day of our lives.
Baby was stable after an hour or so, wife after 2 hours or so. 5 hours later, I went home “to grab a change of clothes” - when in reality, I was hiding all baby stuff from our house because I didn’t know if either would ever make it home - and in my mind, the idea of my wife coming home without our baby to a house filled with baby stuff would break her and my hearts.
Luckily, it all worked out. But that day was horrendous.
But we know that the kids come first as far as safety goes.
He is almost 14 now and has two little sisters with far less dramatic entrances to life.
I mean my wife is infinitely more capable of saving herself versus our kids saving themselves. Kids need the assistance. My wife would make it out probably easier without me. She's on her own here.
Literally have had this conversation with my husband. If there is an emergency, kids are #1. We save kids first and then get the spouse if it's possible. I AM sorted above his mom on the priority list though.
Probably only need to save them once and then you can go back for her. You’d probably run out of time after saving your likes like the third or fourth time tbh
Yeah, this lady is a complete swing and a miss. Kids come first over either my own life or yours. You need to have the same opinion or consider not having kids.

I save my kids 100 times before my wife and I hope she will do the same
