What a bloody timewaster.

Poor NADM must have spent ages typing up all her wonderful advice - just for it to be deleted!

I don't think she was a goat muncher so much as someone who didn't really give the full and fair picture shall we say. A lot of people gave a great deal of time and good advice to the OP and were a bit miffed when she was found to have been a bit disengenuous

I agree that she was (scarily) real. Just a liar and deluded. I feel for the children and their mum. She will have to fight ( yes fight) tooth and nail to keep her babies

yes, I think the situation was real, but she was being inconsistent and lying about details to try to prop up her exceedingly tenuous position. I feel awful for the kids' mum. I hope karma sorts it out in the end.

I'd say!!! She really wasn't getting it or listening to sound advice...
I would personally say I moved in too soon with my DP without fully understanding the impact of step parenting and living with children even part-time, however that may be as I don't have kids of my own whereas that Pirate did have a child...
My advice to anyone would be don't move in or give up your independent accommodation until you are really used to and "happy" with the situation...
It's getting much better now 2 years down the line, but the amount of times I wanted to leave because of the kids' behaviour or DP's disney parenting was untrue!!!
