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............

snort @ "a little tear rolling down my cheek".

There is no way across this particular river.

Why would you ram it down their throats? You need to talk about this.

malteser anyone?

No, I did not shed a 'little tear' for MMC. It would be ridiculous for me to do so, as I do not know the child. Neither do I shed tears for the children in Darfur, nor for unfortunate bystanders of suicide bombs. I do comment on the sadness, and if there is any real help I can give then of course I would do so. But to 'shed a little tear' is just insulting. Really.

Save your tears for your own real tragedies. Don't turn someone elses tragedy into your own!

Come on ladies, Haychee REALLY needs us!

ah Maltersers, my fave! (reaches over to grab some)

Are you all strill on about this, you bunch of fruit loops?

Ooh, just found a bar of dairy milk in my drawer.

I shed a tear or two for Madeleine, but in bed well away from my children. I don't see what good it would do for them to see me upset about her.

My Mother in Law is dying in a Spanish hospital at the moment, having fought bravely for 18 months against cancer. DH is on standby to jump on a plane and we are in the middle of moving house. We are both obviously very upset and finding this incredibly stressful. The time will come when the children will see how upset we are. But that is so different, she is a part of our lives and it affects all of us in a way that was has happened to Madeleine just doesn't.

Yup, sorry! Have let go of my nork (which I only clasped for the first time this morning)
It is lunchtime, and it is grey and cold outside.
Nothing else to do...

poor bloody emotional wreck. I AM SO SAD FOR YOU.

someone has just told me haychee has had a breakdown is this true?

I sob like anything if I accidentally watch any of those films on Children in Need with babies being literally eaten alive by rats and so forth. But I don't do it in front of my children.

TF - is the bar of dairy milk well preserved, or has it gone all soft with the odd staple embedded in it??

Sadly ells. Come help.

It reminds me - back in the early full on days of MM furore - someone wrote: "every day on the stepper at the gym I cry silently." Which is funny in so many ways. I've never forgotten it.

Isn't there a fully qualified psychiatrist who can help?

Careful you don't trip over as you backtrack haychee - you said you were bawling uncontrollably, now it's a single tear down your cheek.

Oh but aloha, you owe it to your children to make them watch it. There's no use pretending that blah blah blah... zzzzzzz......

Why? what is wrong with shedding a tear? something awful has happened that most of us find sad. How can it possibly be insulting? I can absolutely understand that others may have terrible situations in their own lives and how to cope with that is just a nightmare. But why is it wrong to have cried about madeleine? She is so much like my daughter! Same age similar looks. It is very upsetting for me. I think its wrong not to have shed a tear or two.

No aloha, WE have to help

aloha, you are right actually, at the right time of the month a silent tear may escape. But not about MMC. Awful as it may be, her case has angered me more than anything.

You weren't crying about Madeleine. You were crying about you and what it might be like to lose your daughter who likes like Madeleine.

looks like Madeleine.
