'reasonable' in the context of what is best for the child. :)

I've sent blokeychap off for a nap because I've worn him out already and it's also handily keeping him out of the way of my DD while we celebrate her results and wait for her dad to pick her up at 1pm. She went for a handy sleepover last night - she has met him briefly a couple of times but there's been no mega formal intro or getting to know each other or anything like that. I have to say I like it that way. I think DD does too.

Snape i totally agree with your soapbox! Not only can I get a bit soapbox about that, but also about teen parents and teen single parents too - so many people are quick to judge that it's a bad thing, but I was 16 when I had her and I wouldn't have anything any other way, I think I've actually done quite a stunning job even her dad admits it at last and my DD is a wonderful example for teen and single parents that it soooo doesn't mean any of the sterotypes/judgey nonsense applies.

I had no idea about the olympians! I will refer to that in my next soapbox rant whenever it occurs :o

Am I right in thinking that prostitution itself isn't actually illegal but kerb crawling/hiring a prostitute is or have I got hold of the wrong end of the stick?

mercury7 · 23/08/2012 12:40

it's def not illegal to buy or sell sex
afaik running a brothel is illegal (ie more than one sex worker using the same premises)

MyLittleMiracles · 23/08/2012 12:45

I thought prostitution was illegal full stop, that you werent allowed to see your body.

And thank you girls. dont feel so bad now. lol

My ex i know is an unreasonable manipulative evil bastard which is why we have no relationship at all and he doesnt see DS! But that was his choice.

lubeybooby · 23/08/2012 12:51

Oh... a mini question. Not worth a thread in itself...

I bought a hotel chocolat slab, that was meant to be for both of us to share later on...

I opened it and showed him and he mistook it for a gift just for him, said oh bless thank you etc gave me a big kiss and a hug and put it in his bag. He was really chuffed! Argh

Erm, so.. would you

A) fess up it's actual purpose

B) grab it out of his bag later and just nonchalantly share it out

C) other??

ChaoticismyLife · 23/08/2012 12:51

Thanks mercury It was a question on OKC, that was asking if prostitution should be made legal. It provoked a vague memory of something I'd read.

snapespeare · 23/08/2012 12:54

lubey I'd leave it but hope he got the chocolate out later and shared wouldnt count as a big thing with me. :)

watchoutforthatsnail · 23/08/2012 12:54

Fess up, laughing about it.

Grin I would buy myself a bar of whole nut.

Reminds me of the time I baked one of those giant cupcakes. The ex showed it to his dad and he dad promptly took it and went home. DD was so looking forward to getting stuck into it too Grin

watchoutforthatsnail · 23/08/2012 13:06

Snape, did he reply yet?

OP posts:
ChaoticismyLife · 23/08/2012 13:06

Fess up. I would not be deprived of my chocolate Grin

hatesponge · 23/08/2012 13:10

Can I have some views pls?

I logged onto POF last night, quite late, and replied to a few messages I'd had.

I just checked it (it's a bit hit & miss on my phone, sometimes I can log in but mostly not) and I had a message from Mr Overalls, sent about 10 mins after I'd gone to bed at 1ish (so v v late by his standards as he is normally in bed early).

Msg just said 'hope it's going well' (no kiss or anything which is significant because every text or msg he's ever sent me, even his initial one, has at least 2 xxs on)

Confused
snapespeare · 23/08/2012 13:16

No he did NOT sodding well reply yet!

auuuuuuuuuuuuugggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

damn you hormones!! DAMN YOU!

hatesponge · 23/08/2012 13:18

well this just gets weirder.

He just sent me a text saying 'you're obviously a player, please don't text me again'

WTAF?! Shock

snapespeare · 23/08/2012 13:19

sponge hmm. well.

I'm inclined to not read too much into an 'x', but this does not seem to bode well. At least you're on his mind.... have you replied?

watchoutforthatsnail · 23/08/2012 13:19

I don't hold any Weight with xx's.
I never use them. Mrl doesn't. Some people do, but sometimes forget..

What might be more telling of the situation, is that you both logged into a dating site, minutes after ending your date..... I don't think thats ever a good sign ( sorry)

OP posts:
snapespeare · 23/08/2012 13:21

sponge wtaf?

'I'm sorry if you think i'm a 'player', I assure you that this is not the case.'

that said, he sounds loopy and you didn't really like him that much, did you? he sounds like hard work tbh, i'd bin and move on.

watchoutforthatsnail · 23/08/2012 13:22

Is it because he's seen you on the dating site alot?
It's never good to log in immediately after a date ( I think I did this a lot, we think we are being casual but men might read this as not interested)

You can ask him why he thinks that, but tbh, if thats what he thinks of you, wrongly, you wouldn't want to date him!

OP posts:
TimeForMeAndDD · 23/08/2012 13:23

Sponge I agree with Watch, I think it's because he saw you logged into the site, but there again so was he. Double standards, much. I would have to reply to that text though, I wouldn't like the accusation of being a player. I think he must have really liked you to respond this way.

watchoutforthatsnail · 23/08/2012 13:29

I think he really liked you, assumed one date meant exclusive relationship...
And now is in a huff Because in his eyes you have ' cheated'

You can either do a lengthy reply, explaining he was online too, no second date was arranged, obe date does not a committment make.
Or
You can think hes an absolute loon and bin him

OP posts:
hatesponge · 23/08/2012 13:34

Sorry - this was last night, so the night AFTER the date.

To be honest I mainly went online because I hadn't heard from him and thought he might bin me off.

He has now replied again. I think he thought we were in a relationship. I've sent something back but I rather think I've blown it.

FFS.

ChaoticismyLife · 23/08/2012 13:35

He has double standards and is leaping to conclusions Hmm Doesn't sound too good.

Oh, fuck, just realised the time, got to go...

watchoutforthatsnail · 23/08/2012 13:36

Sponge, you could be honest and explain.... What did he say?

OP posts:
snapespeare · 23/08/2012 13:38

men! (@sponge clearly no news here.>
