    My wife is reading this thread, we are dealing with the situation. To those who have offered sincere sensible advise we thank you. Nothing more to be said really.

    Good luck with sorting things out.

  • Let me assure you that I'm not a troll (unlike some of the comments that have been posted, which I consider to be at the least borderline trolling), neither am I stupid thank you very much.

    Time for you (all) to put your pitchforks away. Some of you have taken what I've posted and completely run with it haven't you. Lets just say 1 + 1 does not equal 99.

    Good luck. I sincerely hope you are able to put this behind you.

    Errrm, not sure I appreciate the pitchfork comment. We ran with what you gave us. You could have redirected us had you chosen to.

    Actually i am a person who never just assumed that her child was right and if i wasnt there at the time and something happened between my two children and one was saying it was him and the other one was saying it was him then no i cannot tell any of them off i would just say to make up and play nice so to speak.

    As in the judiciary system they do get to see all sides dont they? and yes if i saw something happening that i thought was wrong i would report it to the police as i have done in the past. The police are a completely different matter to family arent they its there job is to intervene? Mediation and counselling all get to see two sides of the story dont they? all i was saying is that if I had heard the wifes point of view then maybe i would of had a different opinion.

    No, by your criteria, by dint of them not being there, they don't get to see all sides.

    You have heard the wife's point of view. It was dismissed as secondhand. And even if she did appear to say something, you're irrelevant by your criteria, as you weren't there.

    It was suppose to sound light hearted :)

    Yes, it's just a way of whiling away a few hours. There is nothing useful we can offer the OP. You've decided we can't know anything, as we weren't there. So attempts to explain scenarios are dismissed with no attempt at understanding and laughed off. Their efforts are just wasted.

    I never said that other peoples opinions are just wasted, my comments were not to the op but to the posters who commented on my comments, and its certainly not a laughing matter to the op who wants this problem resolved. Im sure that the op and his wife has read through all the comments and got a broad spectrum of peoples opionions.

    Oh dear, why does that still sound like you think it's she who needs to change? :eek:

    Let's hope you're right!

    OP, are you prepared to tell us whether you now understand a little more why your wife might be unhappy with the situation?
