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

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.

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, get out of my head. lol Oh wait, my post was after yours... damn my
luck!

Oh good... 'cause I've got a full schedule this semester and won't be
in as often (probably but who knows?)

'Kate


Yeah I've decided to chill out a bit this next term and go part time for
once. Only 2 courses... if I don't get As then slap me silly.
