To hate when some mums say

When they say oh count your self luck (insert nonsense)
I was on a mums Facebook group and a lady who newly split up with her partner asked other single parents how there child maintenance etc was set up.
Along came a lot of helpful set ups but before long came oh count your self lucky you get that I get nothing from my ex or, I get £8 a month etx etc.
It doesn't usually bother me so much, but I commented what my set up was and I got oh ain't you lucky you get that I don't even get birthday cards for my kids. While I get that isn't fair but I should count my blessing because the person I chose to pro create with is actually providing for his child.
It's not always about maintenance either it's about everything. Your child sleeps there's doesn't IYSWIM.

I know this is over reacting but it really irritates me.

I hate it when people do that. Just ignore them.

I could ignore them Maggie, but I like to try and point out the error and smugness in their hard of thinking. And judgement.And moral superiority. Maybe their Nigel's will shit on them some day and they will be converted to the other side Grin

Yes. I'm wondering if Karma indeed exists, or it's the refuge of the frustrated (like me) who are fed up banging their heads against brick walls, and seeing exhusbands get away with far too much.Theres a reason I call my XH TeflonTrevor.... Just an extra kick to see women trotting out this shite. Grin
