yes but its the peeps who won't work that you should be having a pop at. not all single mothers are unemployed. its narrow minded to tar everyone with the same brush. we become lone parents for all sorts of reasons. in my case my ex was abusive, controlling, paranoid and lived in the dark ages. the best thingi did was walk away from him. if i'd stayed we'd be secure but i would have gone crazy or turned into a timid person.

you should think about what you say before you post. its annoying when people come across as "i am better than you".

yes you lose that right when you split and you have to work but its bloody annoying when the ex can live the life of luxury with no responsiblity while i have to do ALL the hard work. its not easy being a mum employed or not!

i never said all single mothers? i said single parents and there are the exceptions i do not brag i may express my opinion not liked by many but ive not insulted women i work happily with 2 im not old fashioned i believe some get divorced at the first sign of a petty problem , if anything ive been insulted more on here ive expresed a view i was in turn called illiterate when i just do not find comps that exciting makeing money treating the boys and wife excite me and doing my best for them and myself comes first but advise no matter how well meaning grates on some .
merry xmas to you all

i dont feel insulted by you. i was just expressing my views as you have. i should have said single parents not single mothers.

saying someone is lazy is hardly advice is it?. the poor woman is doing her best to get an education, be a good mother etc. if you have a rant about freeloaders you should start a seperate thread. there is nothing in the op thread to suggest she is a freeloader or a skiver.

well done for getting along with the two women you were kind enough to give jobs too!!

i'd love you to be in my shoes for a week or two and see how knackered i am working till two in the morning, travelling home. getting up to do the school run, tidy up, pay bills, run a business etc. dont want sympathy or brownie points, but help and support wouldn't go a miss now and then.

merry christmas to you and yours!

Blimey, LR I was agreeing with you about bludgers and you are still accusing me, calm down. This is in danger of getting out of hand and the thread will be closed or worse.

The grammar in your post isn't good and I had difficulty understanding your last post as a result.

Looking at both the Men and Woman threads, I feel there is a communication problem between the sexes. Hence, a lot of anger gets raised.

Obviously, abuse is another issue and isn't tolerable for either.

If both sexes could think about each other in a more caring way, rather than put them down due to a difference of opinion, marriages and the world would be a better place.

I have not read the whole thread but maybe this story is appropriate:

A man came home from work and found his three children outside, still in their pyjamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and wrappers strewn all around the front yard. The door of his wife's car was open, as was the front door to the house and there was no sign of the dog.

Proceeding into the entry, he found an even bigger mess. A lamp had been knocked over, and the throw rug was wadded against one wall. In the front room the TV was loudly blaring a cartoon channel, and the family room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing. In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, breakfast food was spilled on the counter, the fridge door was open wide, dog food was spilled on the floor, a broken glass lay under the table, and a small pile of sand was spread by the back door.

He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more piles of clothes, looking for his wife. He was worried she may be ill, or that something serious had happened. He was met with a small trickle of water as it made its way out the bath room door. As he peered inside he found wet towels, scummy soap and more toys strewn over the floor. Miles of toilet paper lay in a heap and toothpaste had been smeared over the mirror and walls.

As he rushed to the bedroom, he found his wife still curled up in the bed in her pyjamas, reading a novel. She looked up at him, smiled, and asked how his day went. He looked at her bewildered and asked, "What happened here today?"

She again smiled and answered, "You know every day when you come home from work and you ask me what in the world did I do today?"

"Yes," was his incredulous reply.

She answered, "Well, today I didn't do it."
