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

[StuckForAUserName]

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 .

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?

With respect,

could anyone decipher that last post from Callme?

Again, you have failed to contribute anything worthwhile to this thread.

Says you.

My children don't have the same father so you have already speculated on how I behave in rl. You just don't like it when someone does the same to you

Look, it's really bad if I am the sensible one. Trust me.

I'd like to sincerely apologise to users of Mum's net and The World Wide Web as a whole for my previous post. I'm glad that you were unable to understand it Hilary because I am ashamed of it. For one thing the grammer and spelling are appalling, I apologise to my old English teachers, Mrs Pettifor, Mr Clethorpes and Mrs Jones. Secondly I am sorry that you all (not the english teachers they're dead) had to see it get so heated between Hilary and I and in fact all of you. This is not what I intended when I first joined this honourable group, I will go back and read the talk guidelines and think about my actions.

I have tried to contribute the fact that developing new relationships can bring many problems, especially as the 'honeymoon' love can lose all sense of perspective in a new relationship, within which it is easy to forget about the children's feelings.

A mother/father that goes on to have subsequent children with a new partner rarely considers the emotional impact that the new relationship will have upon the children, I feel happy so they do.

Whether I am male or female shouldn't matter.

callme Hillary has told me to fuck off on numerous occasions throughout this thread not to mention telling other people the same thing.

I'm not going to apologise for asking her if she's having q fucking laugh

Callme,

don't apologise,

I'm half way through a bottle of brandy with flu, and I am now wondering about my own sexuality due to your posts!

I actually think it is unreasonable to have 8 children fullstop, whether they are with the same or different fathers. The world is over-populated enough as it is.

Moomin,

Don't be so dramatic, I would love to talk to you but I was answering questions one after another, surely you can take as you gave?

I'm going to sing a song to make up for my actions, I have chosen a Scottish classic as its Burns night

You canae shove your granny off a bus
no you canae shove your granny off a bus
no you canae shove your granny
and I'll be in Scotland a for you
on the bonnie bonnie banks of loch lommand

I think we should all sing, I think a sing-song would lighten the mood considerably, Hilary, Moomin care to share a song, preferably Scottish with us?

You're pissed now CamelToe?

I don't think you can take what you give, that is why you've been getting so defensive.

I am no such thing Hilary, the very thought! I'm not even Scottish, my husband is in fact Welsh

I lived and studied in Glasgow for five years, I miss it

The internet, easist place to piss off people you don't even know.

I don't think I know that Scottish song Moomin, no the lyrics aren't familiar

How interesting Hilary, are you a fan of the Irn Bru, do you know any traditional Glaswegian songs you could entertain us with?

Only if we can sing loch lomond over and over again

oh, and by the way...

of course i'm a man, I've just been through absolute hell to get my little girl back, does it make any difference.

I'm still staying single

Some people need to drink less

no, no it doesn't matter Hils, Auld lyne sayne is of course a Scottish song but I don't know the words and its not really the occasion

Some need to drink more Sock

Welcome Pixie, we're having a sing-along, its so much nicer than some of the unpleasantness that took place earlier, I'm ashamed to say I was involved. Do you know any Scottish songs Pixie?
