Daddy Has His Priorities

[Blind Gossip] This film star was at the Emmy Awards. He was not nominated for anything. He was there to support his girlfriend, whose project was up for one or more awards.

It’s great that he is such a supportive boyfriend. If only he was that supportive of his actual family.

A few weeks ago be promised his [child] that he would be there for their first day of school, but he skipped it to go on vacation with his girlfriend instead. [His Wife] was really mad when he said he wasn’t going to make it.

His priorities are puzzling. Even Prince William somehow found the time to accompany his child to his first day of school!

    Clearly Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner.
    First day of school is important. He has been looking bad in pictures. Bloated. Shadows around his eyes. For a man in a new relationship, he should look much better. Putting a girlfriend or boyfriend before your children is a very bad thing. The kids come first. Sadly, I think he is way off the wagon and this will be one more of many disappointments for the 3 kids. I really hope she has them in some type of therapy. Art therapy worked wonders for my…

    Ben Affleck – his girlfriend Lindsay Shookus is a producer on SNL. Not sure what this has to do with Prince William though.

    That loser Ben Affleck.
    Makes me wonder why someone like Garner would ever put up with him. He definitely cheated throughout their marriage.

    If he has promised the child he will attend and then broken that promise (to go on holiday, surely he can go on holiday whenever he wants!) then, yeah, it’s a big deal. Clearly his children are not his priority which is a damn shame. I’d be angry too it I was Jen.

    Ben was there with his concubine, I mean girlfriend. I can so see him missing his child’s first day of school, and not caring about it one bit. I think it’s a big deal because he put his adultery partner ahead of his own flesh and blood. He’s a creep and a jerk, imo.

  11. KatarinaJ says

    Ben Affleck was there with his new squeeze and I can see him promising Jen and kid and reneging. Ben, you are a total tool!

    Not cool that he told child he would go and missed it.

    Ben Affleck supporting his GF Lindsay Shookus for the SNL nominations.

    Wife is Jennifer Garner since they haven’t divorced yet.

    Crappy to let his kids down. He’s lucky JG is such a good coparent, but his kids will eventually lose respect for him if he doesn’t keep his promises.

  23. TeacherKat says

    Oh, Ben. Those poor kids. At least they have a mom that adores them.

    Optional: big deal. I teach, and kids can get really sensitive about things like this.

    If he promised his child and then bailed to hang out with his new jump off, that makes him a real POS. Prince William appears to be 10000 times the father Ben is.
    I don’t feel sorry for Jennifer, she knew what she was getting. I do, however, feel bad for their three children.

  27. melrose71 says

    Must be Ben Affleck and his SNL girlfriend. Not sure if he’ll ever have his priorities right. He seems very self involved and I feel bad for his kids. For the love of Pete, aren’t he and Jennifer divorced yet? I hope she finds a great man who’s also a great dad to her kids a la Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. Maybe then Ben might aprreciate his kids more if another man is in the picture and there’s competition.

    [Optional]: Big deal. It would be different if either 1) he hadn’t promised his child he’d be there or 2) if the reason he missed it was work-related or an emergency. Breaking a promise to your child for your current gf = lousy parenting.

  34. Ihatenate says

    Oh Lord. Ben and Lindsey. Im so over both of them. He looks awful. And they seem so fake to me.
    His kids are lucky to have Jennifer Garner. Love or hate her, she seems like a great Mom.

  41. Bubbiek says

    Ben Affleck was there with the new girlfriend. Jennifer Garner is probably pissed he wasn’t there for their kid. Not cool of him.

  42. Kerzep says

    Ben Affleck and his girlfriend who won an Emmy for writing SNL.

    If it’s a big deal to the child, then it’s a big deal.

    As a teacher, I can tell you from firsthand experience this was a very big deal to the child. Kids hurt terribly when parents promise to be there for the first day of school and then don’t show up.

    It’s definitely a big deal if he promised he would be with his daughter and let her down.

  59. Baileygirl says

    Actor: Ben Affleck
    Wife: Jennifer Garner
    Very BIG DEAL. His kid will be on psychiatrist’s couch talking about this. Really illustrates why Jennifer Garner finally threw in the towel. He is an alcoholic who has tied himself to an enabler who could care less if this jerk lives or dies. He could stop drinking if he wanted but he doesn’t and so his wife ( soon to be Ex) and children will pay for his selfishness for the rest of their lives. I won’t see anything Affleck is in.

  60. calumsmom says

    I don’t know who this is, but I do think it’s a big deal to skip his child’s first day. How many first days will his daughter have (that she wants him to accompany her to, at least)? 7 or 8 at most? What a jerk.

    • katheryn says

      Yes seems to be him and so many tend to think Jennifer Garner is some kind of saint but why would you have one child let alone 3 with such a man? That’s messed up. It’s not like she does not have her own money etc. She is also to blame for the situation she has put her children in with this playboy, he is and always will be a playboy.

    Missing the first day of school is not a big deal – breaking a promise to be there is. He didn’t have to make the promise, but when he did he made it a big deal

    It is a big deal imo, his child will soon not expect anything from him anymore

    Ben Affleck

    Jennifer Garner

    It’s a big deal to his child, I’m assuming his son, so that’s a pretty messed up thing to do. It’s been clear he isn’t particularly interested in the family life or his kids much. Jennifer shouldn’t be upset, she’ll just have to continue what she’s been doing for years, be both parents to her children. Hopefully she’ll find someone who can appreciate and support her in the future.

    [Optional] Big deal or no big deal that he missed it? Big Deal! You don’t make promises and then break them. Especially to your child! She’s going to find out too since he’s photographed wherever he goes. How sad for her! He’s pathetic. So is his gf whose right there with him neglecting her very young child.

  76. DM1225 says

    Sounds like Ben Affleck.

    Big deal if he promised his kid he’d be there and then flaked. Even bigger deal if this happens often.

    [Optional] Big deal or no big deal that he missed it? So lame he missed it.

    BEN AFFLECK
    JENNIFER GARNER

    you can see everytime he’s photographed he’s bloated, red and pre or post-bender….at a certain point, some addicts can’t be saved. His new gf appears to be an enabler.

  87. TeaDrinker says

    Ben Affleck and Lindsay Shookus
    Jennifer Garner
    Optional: If he’s putting his GF over his kids, that is a big deal that he missed his kid’s event. Just sad, really.

    • TeaDrinker says

      Wow, just re-read and it wasn’t just an event for his kid…it was their first day of school! Shame, shame. Vacation with the new gf should NEVER come before something like that. He has enough money and resources that he could’ve left the vacay to attend the first day of school then flew back to re-join his gf…or he could’ve just put off the vacation for another time. No excuses!

  90. TheSalmon says

    This is Ben Affleck, who was at the Emmys with Lindsay Shookus b/c SNL was up for several awards.
    Wife is of course Jennifer Garner.
    I doubt anyone is even surprised at his priorities any more.

  94. libra123 says

    Ben Affleck. Wife Jen Garner. Not surprising because Ben is a tool. It’s a big deal, kid’s remember those slights for the rest of their lives.

  96. FiyahHotFlashy says

    Bennifer…Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner
    BIG DEAL…Don’t break promises to your children. They will ALWAYS REMEMBER! He couldn’t find a few hours to be with his children before going on vacay with the GF…SHAMEFUL!

  97. copssister says

    Actor: Ben Affleck

    His Wife: Jen Garner

    [Optional] Big deal or no big deal that he missed it? It’s typical addict behavior – selfish. Surely not the first time he’s disappointed a child, likely won’t be his last.

  100. Realistic says

    Ben “Bloated” Affleck
    Jennifer Garner

    Wouldn’t have been a big deal if 1. he hadn’t promised to go and 2. didn’t opt to go on vacation with his girlfriend instead. Piece of work, that guy is.

    • KatarinaJ says

      I know this may be unfair to say but WHAT is up with the Affleck boys? Terrible swirling rumors about their behavior, attitude, priorities. Casey too has some serious accusations flying. I know celebs are fodder for gossip but you don’t see these sticking to just everyone.
