FC, I like chocolate but I think its over done. But those two stories of chocolate Christmas disappointment are very sad.

Parenting is such a burden....you can give your kids all these issues without ever knowing it.;)

Interesting news Pobby.

My tuppence worth if I may be so bold.

Leave them to it where possible. Be supportive, but avoid involvement in any way. Allow them to make their own choices. I generally feel that 90-odd% of hassle is caused by other people sticking their noses in. & this can also cause greif/resentment.

Obviously there can be times where you have to get involved (eg to prevent violence)

The big word is compromise. Everyone has to do it, & avoid rubbing someones nose in it, as it is rarely helpful (though can feel good at times!)

& also acknowledge. Acknowledge both the bad (that was wrong), but also the good (it took guts to hold your hands up).

From your point of view, let your family make their own mistakes, knowing that whatever, you love them & will support them.

Great Post''I love you'' Lemon Jelly.

It's a hard one.

Had it all with my parents when I was a teen (the swinging 60's and 70;s had a lot to answer for) and we have also has all sorts of mess to mop up regularly with OH mother (who turned around to his dad after 27 years and said she wanted out)...and they did divorce. It was a really difficult time. Still is actually and the divorce was 18 years ago.

Is it something to do with regrets and lost youth??

My youth is running away really quickly now (well...has run off actually~) and I don't feel the same way at all. Wonder what's different nowadays?

I'm too mild, too polite and too sweet to be banned (and I'm also a liar :rotfl:)

Nice word - just had to pop off and look it up.

In truth, I don't know if I would but I don't have this largely, I'd generalise, testosterone fuelled drive to go over the top in battle with other posters or to spout profanities.

I enjoy being here and don't feel the need to get myself killed off by my own hand - unless it's for terminal triviality.

Trouble is .... I remember how you disposed of your first wife. How many of them have you had BTW?

Thankyou. I have a confession. I've noticed your brilliant posts and not to be outdone I spent 20 minutes writing a great post using words I looked up on google. It appears to be doing the trick

Well, I just don't know what to say .... I'm sooo flattered. :smileyhea

I was about to say it is nice we can discuss the snow on this thread and Hamish has his own but having read the last few posts I am actually thinking I might vomit - time to read Mc T's snow thread I guess....

Funny you should say that what with snow going up in Aberdeen by 9% this year. Everywhere else in the UK, snow has been coming down.
