Yeah, he's happy to pay support but she's shit with money so it may get messy. :(
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Lovely to read the support people are giving each other. Tough stuff stui for your son & his ex.
Lovely words TP
Parenting is damn hard work - Mrs WPT & I are about to enter our 39th year together. As Jack Benny once said: he & his wife Mary never once in their 40 years ever discussed separation or divorce. Murder yes but divorce no.

Mind you in this era of DV, that one probably doesn't go down so well as it may have.

As in, people who change their opinion to suit the consensus.
Be brave & have an opinion of your own.

Geez you were quick! Editing while you queried :P

Not directed at anyone in particular, just see it more & more often these days, like they're so desperate to be liked they change with the wind

Yeah, congrats, that's a real achievement, While I don't participate much on the personal stuff on this forum (just not my thing, sorry) I read with interest and goodwill the relationships of posters and the progress of the children referenced. Forty years in a marriage, with the obviously fine children you have mentioned in various posts, is a tribute to you both.

I don't know, I see it differently, mind changers are brave. Someone who sticks to a belief even when shown it's wrong, not brave.

As an aside, 2 posts on mind changers being odd, both edited! Changed your mind?! Cheers!

Others can say "Jesus is the reason for the season" which is fine by me because after all it IS Christmas!!
This is why Christmas should be banned immediately. :P
Ah, that what I was looking for! Although I thought it was s more in depth discussion!

Let's just do Allah mas instead.

Instead of giving gifts, you just have one and play pass the parcel until the music stops and it explodes.
