"slykitten" wrote in message ... I do agree. I've had time to reflect. I've still opted to be safe rather than sorry so I still filtered her out. This way it cuts down on the risk of any further arguments and flaming. Hmmm well don't leave her there too long you'll miss out on some good paddle humour! I wish I could use the ignore feature sometimes, then again I'm too damn curious. lol Christine |

"slykitten" wrote in message ... snip WHen I came to this group, I assumed that the parents here are responsible people who are doing the best that they can under whatever circumstances they're under and that their kids are what matters most. I believe my assumption to be almost 100% accurate, based on what I've read on here so far. I just wish I found this group a bit sooner. Ok, number one, please don't top post, it makes things hard to read etc. Number two... don't assume anything, some of the people that pop in and out of here over the years would knock your socks off. I can attest that yes the regulars that have stuck around are most definitely responsible people that put their children first... but you've been here 11 days, I've been here a tad longer so I can make that call. Perhaps the issue is we DO see people come and go that need a swift kick in the ass and Joelle calls it like she sees it. Frankly I'm too lazy atm to go and research where this all started and what you were offended at so I'll just leave it at this. Get over it. Let's talk about parenting issues, not who said what, how it hurt so and so's feelings... next. Christine |

"Joelle" wrote in message ... Hey slykitten, I don't believe you've stopped reading my posts, you just can't help yourself :-) For someone to insinuate that I wasn't really abused by my ex.... is simply wrong. for someone to insinuate that I wasn't looking out for my kids the way she did, is just plain ignorant What's ignorent is to believe everything someone says just because they say it on an ng. I don't know you. I don't know your ex. I don't know if you were abused. I think people toss the word abused around pretty readily ... and so I simply said what I knew which was that you claimed your ex was abusive. That's the truth. And what's weird is that you should get offended that a total stranger doesn't take you at your word. That's just odd. Why the hell should you care if I believe you or not? WHen I came to this group, I assumed that the parents here are responsible people who are doing the best that they can under whatever circumstances I don't assume that. What if your ex was on this group? Should we assume he's a responsible person and believe whatever he claims about you? You came on here bragging about how much better it was for you and your kid that you were shacking up with someone. I don't agree.---I think that's bad for kids, and I still think your so called partner (I say so called partner because I see no legal committment to call it a partnership) would have a better chance of fighting for your kid if the judge saw that at least you bothered to make a legal committment. Otherwise, he's just the guy you are shacked up with. If your kid is that attached to him, you owe him that. That's my opinion, not everyone agrees, but people don't usually get offended just cuz they don't agree. I'm not the angry one here, you are. You might ask yourself why. Joelle The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page - St Augustine Joelle Joelle, get out of my head. lol Oh wait, my post was after yours... damn my luck! Christine |
