Message for Xenia

[opinionsrus]

What I would like to ask is how exactly do you find so much spare time to chat on these boards about earning between £100k and £250k when you have five children of your own and also what seems must be a very demanding full time job?

I have just one child and a very part time job and this will be about the only 5 minutes I get to luxuriate on the internet?

lol custardo!

Don't think Xenia will be coming to the Christmas party.

When's the party? I'm not sure I'd come. I've never been very keen on socialising with women. Most of my close friends are men. Perhaps I'm really a man inside and need a sex change.

Money gives you time to spend relaxed time with children without having to do jobs at the same time. My children are all school age now and that's when life for most people gets a lot easier.

My life is obviously a lot easier than lots of people's but not perfect. In 3 years I've got divorced, my mother's died and my father's ill amongst a lot of things. Those things are difficult however much money you have.

Come Xenia, Ill talk to you

Welsh will talk to anyone. She's a club about as exclusive as the White Pages .

Apart from Americans

I refuse to talk to them

I've got British nationality as well.

So, Welsh will not be talking to me then.

The party is this Saturday at a place called Ruby's, behind Selfridges (in London obviously).

I'll talk to everyone!

Dunno why your posts are so bad Xenia, but then I couldn't be arsed reading a lot of the posts on that thread, I just chipped in with my own thoughts like I usually do!

Actually no, scrap that, I won't talk to everyone cause unless people buy me drinks I'll stand in a corner sulking.

no Uwila that was just aimed at Expat

Because she is a public transport whore

And proud of it!

He was hot, hot, hot!

Not as hot as your bus pass you pensioner

am that you are having a damn xmas meet-up so far away from xmas

I'm in London for two weeks in December as well

I'm still younger than your boyfriend, boris .

FWIW Xenia, I don't agree with most of your views, but I admire any single mother with 5 children who can hold down a well paid job.

I wonder how much more/less criticism you would get if you were in a council house and living on benefits.

You just can't seem to win if you are on your own. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. And from what you have described, I agree with you that your children are probably better off with you working and providing them with financial security than if you looked after them yourself.

Money isn't everything, but it does give you choices, which you are lucky to have.

GQM - I'm not sure that it's criticism that Xenia is getting for her lifestyle. More disbelief that she actually does have the life she purports to have....

FWIW, I have no opinion on you Xenia.

LOL at having no opinion on Xenia. Me too X.

NdP, Sorry I remember you're right. I did think of putting "If you are real" as a pre-fix.

What does everyone think she is then? A journalist looking for copy? A researcher? A troll? A 15 year old boy?

I think that would be a shame, but you may well be right.

Doh.

Xenia, I happen to think mn is a richer place for having you around. Surely any poster who starts a thread would welcome you on as it would attract at least 500 posts with a lively debate to boot.

I don't have the balls to phrase my posts the way you do nor agree with everything you have said, but I certainly welcome your cutting perspective. You are helluva thickskinned and arrogant - but I like that

If you've lived in a abusive marriage for years and been hit (not that that's the worst of it by any means) I don't think a few criticisms on line make much difference. Also if you've lived through and surivived getting 3 children through the teenage years, that's quite a process... laughing as I type. It's amazing. Suddenly they emerge at 18 as lovely normal people. I suppose that's why some people ship them off at 13 to boarding schools so they avoid the worst of it.

Saturday will be the hardest day of my year so can't do the party. I'm flying out of London for the day. I've a very very difficult thing to do which has perplexed me for weeks. I could do with some of you praying for me over it.

Oh goodness, what's on on Saturday? A business challenge? Or personal one?

Am I nosey or what?

OK you've got us (well, me) interested. What's happening on Sat?

I think its personal, maybe to do with her ex husband?

Good luck whatever it is, and if you need prayers Ill say one for you this evening
