mrsshrek thats a different matter. My aunt suffers from it too, she has done some strange and nasty things in the past, her latest thing is most evil and police are involved, my grandparents in their 80's ...they don't need this at their stage in life. good luck with it all....must be difficult for you.

bloody star signs

totally agree MrsShrek there are cases where it is just not in the childs best interest to see their father. but sadly there are other cases where the birth mother just doesn't like something he has said, doesn't like the new girlfriend, and on a personal note my dh was stopped from seeing his 2 for daring to get their fringes cut

hayes · 04/05/2007 18:30

I have seen threads with ppl saying that in response to an initial post, I know I have seen it a few times in this week. will have a root about

MrsShrek · 04/05/2007 18:30

yeah hayes got to agree there. Some people have genuine reasons for this and others begger it up for the rest of us!

any thread that says along the lines of ~~ stop him from seeing the kids, they are better off not seeing him etc etc, he can start seeing them again when he does as you want him to.~~ totally unreasonable and shows women to be the bitches they can be to men when they use their kids as weapons and bargaining tools.......

can you tell how much this works me up??

MrsShrek · 04/05/2007 18:18

nightowl is that because you are on benefits or hate those that are? IM just curious!

nightowl · 04/05/2007 18:12

council housing and benefit threads, (freeloading off the state and all that innit?). tis like a red rag to a bull. Have been known to sit and cry in frustration afterwards. a sad life i lead.

Olihan · 04/05/2007 18:11

See, I told him to change my name if he ws going to start getting stroppy and he has! Time for him to join under his own name I think!

MrsShrek · 04/05/2007 18:10

anything too controversial. Im everything the perfect mother HATES!!!! but my boys love me n thats all that matters! lmao

whats aibu mean?

Boco · 04/05/2007 18:09

The 'You're all shit' and 'I don't get MN you wankers' threads. The same arguments go round in circles, I know i'd be better off doing pretty much anything, but somehow i get hooked.

bossykate · 04/05/2007 18:06

oops this one is turning into one i should stay off!

DHofOlihan · 04/05/2007 18:05

apeainapod · 04/05/2007 18:00

aibu????

bossykate · 04/05/2007 17:48

anything where the marie antoinettes come out! Gah!

MrsBadger · 04/05/2007 15:21

people who want to buy something esoteric

hours I've wasted on Google, hours.

Manictigger · 04/05/2007 15:14

aibu ones because more facts always come out as the thread gets longer, but some people only read the OP, and so then people end up arguing about things which did or didn't happen, then someone takes offence...... honestly I wish I'd never noticed that topic but I always get drawn in like a moth to a flame.

Mercy · 04/05/2007 15:10

LOL niceglasses!!
