It brought a smile to my face when the Queen Mother was still alive and I was lucky enough to be invited to Buckhingham Palace. It was during the last weeks of her life and she whispered to me of how kind and considerate her family were and how she was being so well looked after as she faded away. She handed me a copy of 'The Royal Windsor Daily Planet' to read as I boarded my train home from London. I smiled as I daisily viewed the British countryside and thought 'What kind and wonderful hands she is in'. I got to the end of the magazine and saw the advertising pages headed "For sale - one golf cart with short clubs and a set of yellow false teeth!"

Remember, you had a failed romance once already that resulted in a child. Maybe this is the guys first. So maybe the judge sees it as you screwing up twice and him screwing up once, and maybe, just maybe, the judge thinks something is wrong with you rather then every man you tend to date and it resulting in pregantcies and desertions. You may disagree with this view, but I can tell you, that's probably what the judge thinks, and you have to defend yourself better, I'm sure that's the argument the father put up and the judge beleived it looking at the physical evidence and past history. You need a counter.
If baby was older it wouldn't be an issue. I would welcome the break. He works here and resides here and I don't know why a judge would seem it necessary to remove her from town for three days with ultimately strangers. I would be all for the man seeing her every day if that's what he wanted. This is only to hurt me. Not for her best interests. This man nev ...[text shortened]... thought to their children. It's malicous and cruel to those who it affects the most, the kids.

There is nothing wrong with me.
Originally posted by UmalakasA counter is completely of irrelevence here. The issue at the forefront of this is the best interest of the child. What happens between parents is irrelevent to a child of this age. Nor is it relevent to argue misdemeanours against each other in a court of law which is dealing with the child's needs only. Parental guardianship is very difficult to have removed unless one parent is proven to be fully unfit to cater for the child on a single basis, or is proven unfit to cater for themselves either for physical or medical reasons. Enough said. Any further legal advice can be sought from me by Ms privately. However, it will stand purely in an English C.O.L only and will be reference only.

"Oscar inspired an Apple Macintosh hack written by Eric Shapiro and shown at the 1989 MacHack conference, featuring a singing animated Oscar that appeared from the trash can whenever a file was thrown away. The hack was so popular that some parents lost the entire contents of their hard disks to preschoolers wanting to see more of Oscar. (Late Nights with MacHack, p. 27)"

OH NO!!! Drunk with my buddy Shav!!!? 😲
You're both in danger!
He is a really really nice guy, I'm glad I invited him. Very talkative when drunk though 😉
Anyway, he's on his way back. I'm sure he'll be amusing you all with witty posts this evening 😉

My kids like being picked up by the ankles and dangled upside down. My youngest daughter, Jessica, is 9, and really is a heavy load. So after struggling with her, I went to haul up my 5 year old son, who has recently been learning opposites at school. Very earnestly, he says to me:
"I'm much lighter than Jessica, hey Dad?"
"Yes, Gareth."
"Jessica is much darker..."

Originally posted by fiestaI have stated many times that I'm in no way opposed to him seeing his daughter and highly encourage contact. It's not in her best interests to be removed from town when he lives here and can easily undertake his visitations here. He's not considering what this will do to her. She has never been apart from me a day in her life. She is still strongly dependant on breastfeeding as of yet. If she was fully weened and better to communicate her needs it wouldn't be a concern for me. I would welcome the break. Even my two older children who have always been very involved with their dad never were taken overnight at this age. My only concern is the best interst of our daughter. I realize many people get caught up in the emotional aspect of a seperation but this has been over for a long time. I only wish he gets the help he so des[erately needs in order to be a more positive role model to our little girl. My heart goes out to anybody who has had to be in this situation, it is simply tragic for all people involved. I thank god every day for having always had the support and friendship of the father of my older girls. Never have I been more grateful for that. So I guess out of every bad in life God provides some good. It's the good that I choose to focus on right now. It's the happiness and joy that life offers us all that I choose to think of and lean on for support right now. I know that every life has ups and downs. We all struggle through the painfull moments and sometimes never see the light at the end. I know there will be light and I know that in the end life will always go on weather we hurt or not.
