I'm Not That Guy

So I am hearing this a lot, hence the topic change. Also probably the truth ...

We were talking about his daughter today, apparently he suffers from the stereotypical baby mama drama (child support not spent on daughter, laxx mothering, etc). His daughter is not quite 16 and has some health issues relating to obesity and diabetes and of course typical teenage laziness and not caring.

His "I'm not that guy" was about offering his daughter a home if her mom makes her get a job at 16 and makes her pay rent. His reasoning was, he offered her a place to stay in the past and she didn't accept it. He proceeds to tell me he is set in his ways at 40 and he will not put anyone before himself, including his kids. He says his mama taught him that.

Seriously?! I am not that woman, mother, or lady.

Based on earlier conversations about his mom, I don't think that is the truth. I mention it and he says well that's how he is, accept it. That's not how I am ... uhoh Shaggy, trouble in paradise.
