I am disgusted at the Madeleine McCann/Shrek debate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bigmamie]

I have joined this site solely to remind all you thoughtless, forgetful, selfish ba#@ards that Madeleine McCann is missing!!!!!!!! I cannot understand how anyone can sit with their arms around their own children, in the comfort of a cinema whilst feeding their children popcorn and Coke that there are lots of mothers in this world who cannot do this. Their children have been taken from them and I wonder if any of you had the money or the resources available to them, I wonder if you would have campaigned this long or this hard for their daughters return. I wish the McCanns every success and only wish I could physically find their daughter for them. I am taking my 6 kids to see Shrek tomorrow and I hope my cinema is still showing the Madeleine film. I hope the publicity generated stays in your faces for a long time to come. Tell me, if she passed in front of you down at the shops or at the park could any of you be bothered to actually tell someone. Or are you all just to happy in the knowledge that its not one of your children. There but for the grace of God............

Again and again ive said that i dont have a problem with those parents who have told their kids about MMC or any other story in the news. Its those who want their kids to beleive that lfe is actually a bed of roses that i have an issue with.

Exactly NKF - there is being discreetly upset, and there is crying in front of the children.

By all means cry in front of the children when it directly affects you/them such as the death of a family member. But for someone you have never met? Way too much!

So you are saying you agree with those that have told their children like you have, and you have a problem with those that do differently than you. And then you get cross when you cannot change everyones pov to yours....

ok

ui want my kids to belive life is good, what is wrong with that?

get over yiourself.

You all may not have seen as this was on my local news, but the school that Madeline was supposed to have attended this year had the kids line up to spell out some some sort of message and wearing yellow ribbons etc.
I'd have been so furious if my dd went to that school. If she'd been an existing pupil I could have seen the point because they would have known her, but the new kiddies starting school were doing it, they didn't know her and I feel that was wrong of the school to do.

Though I bet the kids were excited about the helicopter flying over their heads!

My kids are not affected by my emotions! That is exactly the point i was able to talk it through with them and they can understand why i would be upset.
HIPPIPOTOMI, absolutely kids are more concerned with matters that are relevent to them. My kids would remember the film not the 2minute ad before the film. So why such an uproar about it?
I agree the wording should be changed but that is all.

Life is good, but there is a dark side! I dont go on about the dark side i simply show it exists, which i think some parents dont do.

and is that really your concern?

haychee, it appears you are railing against a position no-one on the thread is holding to anyway.

So what? What's it to ye. I look after my child, you'll never have too so piss off and look after your own.

er, hmmm yes i think it might be. Not to sure though because im beginning to believe that im actually thick, stupid, a troll, and whatever else name i have been labelled with here.

I learnt about the dark side when my dad took me to see star wars

I find this notion of getting so upset over a child you've never met that you had to tell your children odd tbh. Similarly I found the outpouring of emotion over Dianna odd.

Yes it's upsetting, and on more than one occasion I felt sad thinking about someone taking a sleeping child from her bed and how horrible that must be, but crying in front of one's children? hmm.

Misdee, you are you again! Must say, your cakeyness was making me hungry!

Haychee - there is a tiny tiny tiny darkside. Not as big as you make out. You need to stop dwelling on the dark side and start to live a little. A life full of regret is no life at all. (or something like that)

Anyroad, you are contradicting yourself, you said that you had to tell your dc about MMC because they could see you were upset. Now you say your children are not aware of you being upset.
Which was it?

to not too in last post

SUE
Ive seen it here and if youve been following the posts you would see it too. I dont want to have to trawl through the posts to proove it.

Yes, keep believing that, you're on the right track now

Wannabe - the diana thing was also way over the top and uncomfortably strange. So much grief for someone people did not know....

They are aware of me being upset and i explained to them why. Is that wrong?

hippi,. i am me again for a day or two as saturday is the start of transplant week. just been on phone to newspaper to run an article next week. press releases went out this morning.

will be back to cakey names soon

bugger, nork has truly slipped from my clasp

haychee, I've been following the posts and I've even said that I shelter my children to a very great extent. You have interpreted that to mean we have told them that the world is made of gingerbread just because they know nothing of MMC

So you were so visibly upset over a child you had never met, a family you did not know, that your children had to ask you what was wrong?
And you don't see anything wrong with that??

Have you seen the news that all the cinemas have now decided against screening the Maddy clip pre kiddy films?

And to add, me and my kids live ALOT! And i want that to continue. I want them to have the knowledge to be able to play unsupervised with their friends out in the street safely. We do not sit around being totally focused on th edarker side of life questioning every person who speaks to us motives. Its just an awareness of the world around them and that it isnt as safe as we would like it to be.
