to think that having 8 DC by 3 different fathers may well have a detrimental impact on the DCs?

Especially as the first two fathers are not in the picture anymore so the 3rd husband is bringing up someone else's 6 DC and then a further 2 have been added to the household Hmm.

The mother is effectively a single parent anyway as the latest DH is away a lot in the military. The oldest 3 are in boarding school though so there is only 5 DC full time at home. This is a middle class family btw not a family of 'benefit scroungers'. The mother states that 'her kids have a decent dad and will all be fine'. AIBU in thinking that it's terrible?

Why wouldn't it happen?

Why would it?

Moominsarescary · 25/01/2013 19:19
Hmm
HillaryClitoris · 25/01/2013 19:20

Usual intelligent input there Moom.

Moominsarescary · 25/01/2013 19:20

Well you'd think if all these women are having dc with disposable fathers they wouldn't bother giving them the fathers name

Callmedoe · 25/01/2013 19:21

Hilary are you talking to yourself dear? Its all getting a bit confusing I'm afraid and whos Miss Camel Toe?

Moominsarescary · 25/01/2013 19:22

I think callme was joking, but as you keep contradicting yourself I wouldn't expect you to understand what anyone else is talking about.

HillaryClitoris · 25/01/2013 19:24

No 'dear'

but as you referred to my username and trying to link that to my child's surname then I took the liberty in your idiocy attempting the mispronunciation of your name as CAMEL TOE, you don't see it? light hearted n' all.

rhondajean · 25/01/2013 19:25

I'm not head tilting here, but are you all right Hilary?

Moominsarescary · 25/01/2013 19:26

I'm head tilting

HillaryClitoris · 25/01/2013 19:27

My argument is relatively simple,

Parents that go on to have multiple children with multiple fathers are in many cases thoughtless, selfish and are often tryind to recreate the 'dream'.

I accept that this is not always the case, but for fucks sake, 8 kids, 3 fathers...

HillaryClitoris · 25/01/2013 19:29

Moom, glad you are love, you've had fuck all worth saying.

Callmedoe · 25/01/2013 19:29

My sincerest apologies Hilary. I'm quite new to Mum's net and find all these names quite confusing. I tried to make my name very clear by simply telling people what I like to be called, Doe, its short for Doris if you must know and I have a sister called Doreen which does get confusing sometimes. Anyway what was I saying, well I'm very sorry if I offended you and I think that we should all go and have a cup of tea and a biscuit [bbiscuit], I do love these little pictures

Moominsarescary · 25/01/2013 19:29

You miss read, you didn't do it on purpose.

Don't be such an idiot noone was trying to link your user name to your child's last name. It was obviously a joke.

Are you this defensive, rude and pa in rl

Callmedoe · 25/01/2013 19:30

Language Hilary! I was head tilting but felt a bit dizzy so decided to put my head upright again, I suggest that anyone else in the same position does the same. Its terribly difficult to drink tea at that angle

Callmedoe · 25/01/2013 19:31

and don't even get me started on dunking biscuits

HillaryClitoris · 25/01/2013 19:32

I'm relatively new too Callme,

I was being defensive.

Moominsarescary · 25/01/2013 19:33

Your one to talk! You can't even decide what you want to say!

You're rude and you make no sense what so ever, you should step away from the computer. I hope you don't act like this towards people in front of your dd

LittleMissStupid · 25/01/2013 19:34

I have one DC, we both have my DHs surname. I have seen many threads on here of people moaning about their DCs having different names from them/siblings/new partner.

If they didnt keep having children by different men it wouldnt happen.

Just a thought - you're flaming women who have children by different men, but does the same flame go for the men who have children by multiple women too? Surely the coin should flip to two sides??

As I have said, I have 3 dc with two men - I'm in no way feckless thank you very much.

Callmedoe · 25/01/2013 19:37

Oh no need to be defensive dear, I just came to chat about tea and biscuits and the like. I said Hello to you on another what do you call it, thread, its all very exciting! Just a quick question Hils, can I call you that, are you a man or a woman. Just because I know Hilary can be a uni-sex name as it were, but then again it is Mum's net isn't it.

rhondajean · 25/01/2013 19:37

Right Hilary that's enough. Go and read the chat rules please.
