That has occurred to me and my hubby yes. When her and my stepson started planning to have a child he told her it would be a big responsibility and that if she wanted to return to work they would have to arrange for childcare. I work part time and my hubby full time people cant just give up work for an indulgent air head we have pensions we have to pay into as well as her.
Hello!!!!!!!
Are you really so self-absorbed that you can't see how truly vile your attitude is towards her?
Leave it to your stepson and husband to help her, you shouldn't open your mouth or go near her.0 -
If she has possible mental health problems then your stepson needs to contact her GP rather than the two of you. Tell him to do this.
This ^ - it's the only advice.
If the woman has a problem, you can't solve it, your OH can't solve it, her OH can't solve it - she needs to see a doctor.0 -

Because in another thread you allege she rushed him into having a child too soon - which doesn't sound like planning at all.
I hope this poor woman goes to her GP and gets whatever help she may need.
It might just enable her to see what lack of support she has around her from the people who should really be more supportive to her.0 -

I've worked it out... I think
Your husband is having an affair with her and she is using these stories as an excuse to get him to go around there to be with her, without you being none the wiser. He then plays on your thoughts about her having a mental health condition to dupe you so he is free to have an affair.This is a system account and does not represent a real person.

Generally yes, my DD1 was out of nappies at 22 months.. however DD2 has some serious nappy changing issues (sorry I make light of it because shes an absolute monster) and refuses to have nappies off. So im hoping she will be out of them by the age of 3 but im unsure..
But what played in my mind is that a 3 year old will TELL you if something is happening. my 2 year old often grasses on her sister for pushing/hitting etc..0 -

Oh very funny Spinkz. One when he does go round its only for very short periods of time and his son is mostly there. And he is 54 im 37 therefore 17 years his junior and I look about 30 and im a size 12 and well groomed. She is 32 but looks nearer mid 40s is over 20 stone (wears size 30 clothes) and always wears tracksuits (even to work) hair scraped back and never wears makeup. My hub thinks she looks common so he would not even go there. She is Vicky pollard type whereas im more pippa middleton if that helps.
I'm really hoping you're just a troll and not this revolting in real life!0 -

You only have his word for the son being there and these stories sound too unconvincing to be true. He is going around there a lot and you are thinking she is "nutty" the only impressions you are getting that she is "nutty" is based on what he is telling you because you aren't going around there. Is it not possible he is lying to cover up the affair?This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0
