    :mad: Care to tell me whats funny about watching someone die of cancer?


    From your other posts you didn't watch. You posted in January that your Dad had cancer and was going into a hospice. You said then that you hadn't seen him for 6 years. You also said you didn't have the bus fare to go and see him, and apparently didn't manage to raise it before he died 6 months later. I would have walked if I had had to.

    Now I am not looking to upset you Fred/David and I am sure like all of us whose parents have died you were very upset but you mustn't be trying to make people feel guilty.

    You were en route to getting a sympathy vote from me until your last few words.

    I generally find aggression doesn't help much either.

    Goodnight.

    I wasnt being aggresive to anyone I was just saying there was no need for the post by dmg24 and vicktory. My apologies if any offence was caused.
    Have you got a job yet? :think:

    NO? Then :shhh:

    thing is the bit about your father dying was not in the post when viktory quoted it and said 'have fun'. You edited later to add it.

    You do have a very good point Kriss Kross about the 6 years and in general, this poster seems always to want sympathy all the time and when this is not given is prone become rude and agressive and to argue for the sake of it.

    No one was laughing at watching someone dying of cancer. However, from your previous posts, you didn't watch him die, as you didn't visit him.

    As discussed in the previous thread on this topic, there is no excuse for missing three medicals. The whole purpose of medicals is to assess how ill you are, how do you expect them to do that if you don't turn up? (Rhetorical question, no need to answer). That was the reason for my comment.
    Gone ... or have I?

    Seems there are 2 kinds of parents in the world. The 'material girls' who will go out to work at all costs even if it means moving away from their children and the 'nature nurtures' who would always put their family before anything else. I'm proud to say I am the latter.
    Oh get up the road you cheeky mare!
    I am not a material girl, and everything i do in my life is for my family - my son.
    Just because i dont choose to stay at home, instead going to work doesn't make me any less a parent than someone who chooses to stay at home.
    I have spent the last 3 years and 4 months bringing my son up alone like many other people out there, i was on benefits until my son was 2 and then chose to go out to work.
    I'm not saying it was easy putting my son into childcare, but he is at a nursery he absolutely adores, i wake up with him every morniing, have dinner with him every evening, play with him after nursery and the other 3 days he's at home and every night i bath him, read him a story and tuck him up in bed, he is my world and i love him more than life, and you know what? I'm proud of it too.

    When you know the full facts then you can comment. But dmg24's post and viktorys are much ruder than the one questioning why you didnt plan for when you finished work.
