    I'm not getting into any b!tchfests! My stalker is keeping tabs on everything I do whether I comment or just bloody thank posts, just wanted to make sure I had the correct site :D

    Although I must say I'm lost on this thread :shocked: no idea what's going on. :p

    methinks I'm not

    I just think it's hilarious (but not surprising) that you are so full of your usual lines you trot out about PWC and you think that site is the dogs....

    sums it, and you, up nicely

    me neither!! hijack over. promise! :D

    i just wonder why anyone would think that a site run by pwc would be anti pwc?

    like i said, not once have i seen a pwc flamed. there's just as much help for both sides.

    difference being, there are no militant feminists over there so the advice is a lot more honest and factual than some of the sh1te you read here.

    and no slanging matches! ;)

    one would wonder why you post on here unless it is for trolling purposes

    And also an NRPP

    and there is only one thing worse than an embittered NRP - and that's their partner:p

    actually DX, the last member who got a ribbing was an nrp gloating about how he had got his csa down to 7 a week.

    I haven't read the whole thread, but it seems to me that twenty-five pr cent of ones earnings is a fair price to pay for three children. I wish it was as little as that for me and I only have the two.
    The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark

    Before I close you out, it did not say she had taken her life but taken her to the point of! As I say read what is there not what you think is there. If you read what you think is there you should work for the CSA if you don't already as they read things in that are not there!

    Good by!

    I have to agree with Blob, I read it as to the point of as well (and not that she actually had-maybe it would not have been such a grey area if it had said to the brink of).

    The reason why it doesn't "work" for many is this example:

    Income: 1400

    Outgoings:

    Rent: 500 - this is about minimum for a house/flat where NRP could have his children stay

    Bills (C tax, elec, gas, water, insurances, phone, etc) - 300

    Food - 200

    Car/Transport costs to get to work - 150

    child money (2): 280

    Total so far : 1430

    So would someone like to point out how this person is being excessive? They are £30 down a month without having a life, or any extraneous expenses! Plenty of people in this kind of position.

    Don't get me wrong I am not sure how to resolve the situation, as you should pay for your kids, but just saying rather blithely that 25% is not a lot ignores the fact that the person has to live somewhere (with suitable space if they want to have kids over to stay), and eat, travel to work etc.

    Not my scenario btw. This coming from an NRP who was paying 23% for his first child with 8 overnight stays a month. Also paying for the mortgage on the ex marital home, bills, whilst not living there for 7 months. Then ex wanting money from the house sale.
