ok perhaps if you specifically name who you are talking to then i wont assume you are talking to me. i mean how could i actually take it for granted that your sarcasm was aimed at me. how shallow of me. maybe there is another lovely person on here that will realise you are talking to them and answer your question.
post their names so they know who they are.0 -

at least if we were married to each other there would be no arguments about whether to spend the kids money or not

She said she would use it to buy beds for the kids. Others then said they have used their kid's money to keep the family afloat when they had no money. I am in debt but I have never not had money for the next meal. Until I have been there I won't criticise others for the difficult decisions they have had to make.0 -

You agreed it was theft - so presumably you think it is theft? That is what I am objecting to. It is not theft. It is at worst borrowing from one's kids. Not one person has suggested they would not make it up to their children later. Breaking and entering is nothing like the same thing!0 -

"your child's money"
And as for the rest of the thread *yawn*, it's getting boring.OD Girls On TourBarcelona 2008 - Dublin 20090 -
well my son isnt well so i have to go now and help him back to sleep. i thin some people should really take the time to realise that not everyone is the same and it would be a boring world if we were. people should be allowed to have different opinions without being told to leave.
night
