Single Parents General Chatter - Dec 2007-Jan 2008

[Madissun]

Hi ladies,

Just found this thread! Divvy your a legend for starting it!

I've been a single parent right from the word go. I was overseas when i found out i was pg so came home earlier than planned...with one extra present for everybody! I dont get child support as "the Australian government dont agree with the Jamaican government" and therefore wont collect child support from there.

DS father has never met his son. He says he is coming over at the end of July but i haven't heard from him since February... He has sent a total of $600 in the past 20 months, the last being in November last year. Im not expecting him to be in the picture for much longer TBH. His loss...he doesn't know what he is missing and how beautiful his son is.

Lulu2 whats the closed parenting section?

Its nice to have somewhere to chat, especially about dating and things like that. I too have been wondering how on earth its ever gonna happen??

Go to the memberships section, you have to apply for access and wait to be granted.

Prolly wont take long...

Good on you Barb for having some! I'm jealous! Mind you Lulu2's party was well, ahem, interesting....

Nothing happening in Div land at the moment - back in court on 23 July and will let you all know. I'm sick of being kicked out of my house two nights a week! ARGH! At least the kids are home safe and with my Dad as well as XH...

Div hun sorry to hear about the crap with the Ex. At lease supervised visits give you some pieve of mind. And as for Mr X not working out, well most men are stupid....

Lulu, nice to see you in here. I'm still not sure i should post in here, i've been with my new partner for 2 1/2 years now, but we only moved in together a few months ago.

Good to see everyone else around, as usual, crazy busy at the moment so will stop buy again soon!

'interesting party' .... do tell !!

The guy the other week was the kinda 'Jock' type, all that was missing was a letterman jacket. Physically stunning, but a bit shallow otherwise.

Going out with the girls again this Saturday - it used to be once every two months, then once a month, now it's only been two weeks ! It used to be harder to co-ordinate a night when we were all child free.

[Lulu]

Ahhh, yes - the AO party. He he he!

Hey Barbie, there was an article in yesterdays Herald Sun regarding the effect that parents constantly re partnering can have on the children and how its best to work on building a relationship before introducing the kids etc. Want me to cut it out so you can send it to your GF??
Whoa Nelly, she seems to be going a bit fast doesn't she??

[Lilly-Pilly]

Lulu, sounds like DD"s stupid dad should read that.
He's moved in with his new GF, one DD had never met and she has a 3 year old daughter.
He honestly thinks im going to let DD go and stay with him, his strange GF, in a strange house, with a feral (and i say that cause i met her) 3 year old who hits, pinches, scratches and pushes her mother while her mother says nothing.

Why can't he do things the normal way and let DD get to know them before moving in together ??
Idiot.
