    grr at my KH

    had kids yesterday and clealry spent the ENTIRE day ranting about ME and my shortcomings because DD is hardly talking to me and DS let rip big time when he finally brought them home at 10pm

    !!!!!!

    I REALLY do not get why he cannot let go because he should have moved on, given that he is living with someone else...and had had two steady GFs one of whom he lived with, before this one...
    Goodness only knows what poison he has been spouting. I really hope he is not going down the 'all women are unfaithful and slags because my my mum was an unfaithful slag' route again (she was - but I don't tar all men with the same brush - they're NOT all g1ts!) - that was actually one of his reasons for accusing ME of having an affair. Which I wasn't.
    HE apparently, has NEVER let his kids down (yes he has but they've forgotten). Must be great to be perfect.

    Hello all newbies.
    Right i should go make a start.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Morning all

    Just waiting for DH to bring my second cuppa of the morning :). Plan today is a quiet day, just the two of us, though we may meet a friend for a drink tonight. Short stroll, lunch out and turkey soup for dinner. I also want to get all our new things put away today. We go away first thing tomorrow to my family so want to pack tonight. WM is on as I type.

  • Morning all. Hope you all had the type of xmas you wanted. (have'nt kept up with the previous thread, far to many posts to keep up) Mine was extremely quiet, which suited me fine, watched lots of weepy tv and didn't even get dressed on xmas day.:T
    Cats have climbed the xmas tree so many times it is now looking extremely sad and battered, just wondering how I can take it down earlier without causing a riot.:cool:

    Thanks to Pigpen, Toots and Soapie

    Here's my listy, have deleted all that are done/don't exist, no left overs as was very ms and only bought what was needed.:money:

    In my experience the kids make their own minds up when they're older. No matter what poison they've been fed. They see through it all in the end!;)

    I've never said a bad thing about my first or second husband to 'their' respective children. And I refuse point blank to be drawn into a row or use the kids as a weapon. Being like that has diffused many a situation and spared the kids the 'tug of war' scenario.

    Bit your tongue, fly like mad and I'm here if you want to rant!!;)
