Let's see.

What have I taught my children?
A couple that come to mind are:

1. What makes a good parent.
2. Don't have sex or children until you're married.
3. College, college, college.

I could go on and on because that's part of parenting- teaching your children from your own mistakes.

I was accused of eating bonbons (whatever the heck they are)....

Yeah, Wiz- 25 hours a week??? I work 25 hours a minute, NOT cause I don't want to be with my kids all the time--BUT cause I cannot have the LUXORY of getting PAID$$$$$$$ for making mistakes- or for having children by MM. Oh I bet Cheerful LOVES her life! LOL

Who is eating bonbons?????? Not me! I work 50 hours a week, keep a spotless gorgeous home, keep a six-pack of abs, cook for mine and the neighborhood kids, entertain, stay up all night on the weekends playing w/hubby, go out clubbing w/him... and my kids are dressed and clean as models... LOL.. oh, and I collect ONLY 150.00 per month from my ex for my son.. NOW these are the things one can feel smug and BRAG about because I earned that right!

And again, cheerful-- I AGREE that if your xmm has threatened his rights- he may not deserve any, ever. I ALSO agree that in our situation IF we do try for contact and H is FLAT OUT DENIED due to abandonment or xow throwing a FIT-- well, that is perfectly acknowledged and accepted by H as a possibility. He will not be able to blame anyone but himself for the reasons he has chosen NC.

Yah Right Lonely...

I tell yah something..we have full custody of my H son... and guess what... thank goodness... this little boy isn't anything like his mother! He will be taught with my children..that people shouldn't be so self centered to think that they are the only ones that live on this planet!

Dear ole dad will at least be honest in his role in the situation..he isn't blaming the OW at all. Unlike what I see with OW that arrive here..ALL soooooo typical responses...

I am the OW with the OC. XMM is reconcilling with BS. I wish them all the best and will never interfere in their life again.
XMM doesn't want OC. And I don't want support. I will not FORCE him. But I will remain open minded. If at some future date they approach me about the child, I will listen.
We all seem to be losing sight of the important thing here. THE CHILD!!!!
These babies are innocent of all wrong doing. There is never a clear right or wrong in any situation.
Children are not pawns or bargining chips. I chose not to force the support issue, because aside from the fact that I don't need it. It feels like selling my baby. Especially since MM didn't want any part of the child.
And the poor BS, (I am being sincere) I can never make amends for what she has been through.
I am not going to stir up a huge legal battle for money. What would be the point?
It isn't like it would make MM change his mind.
Anyway that is my 2 cents, don't know if it is worth that much.

Youa maze me everytime... the depths you will lower yourself..using others to pay for your life! Your sick.

In your case, I really hope for your children's sake they don't know what you are truly like... I hope they never find out the truth...

A manipulator and user. And most of all evil. Truly pity those children...

Sorry

There is never a clear right or wrong in any situation.

I disagree with this statement... there is clear right/wrong in situation like this. You just don't put yourself or your children in a position like this not to mention that you jeopardize other children and families well-being just to satisfy lust/ lonliness....

I agree, a child is a child... and all should be treated as such. So why is it then.. that adults...can act so selfishly for few moments of pleasure...

Unfortunately too many children pay the price...they lose fathers/ mothers... siblings...

Boy it sounds like you got my schedule! LOL

But seriously, we can hold are head up and be proud. We earned what we got..we didn't have to steal it from others. We can teach our children to respect themselves and be proud...we can teach them to love themselves enough that they deserve better.

By you teaching your children that men can cheat on them and as a wife, it's your duty to take that abuse?

Or by your husband teaching the children that it's okay to cheat on their wives and go make babies with younger, prettier women?

Yeah, it sounds like you'll be teaching the kids that they deserve "better".

I must apolgize. I wasn't very clear in my statement about "no right or wrong in any situation" Let me clarify.
I meant there is no 'right or wrong' way to handle each situation, more like each situation has its own unique dynamics. And what is right in one instance isn't necessarily right in another. Maybe I should use the terms "what works and what doesn't"

I know that my actions were WRONG! And unfortunatly it seems like the guilty partys never have to pay. But trust me, I am sure I will get mine someday. Karma has a way of balancing things out.

But I also believe that no one is perfect, and we have all committed sins. I am aware of my wrong doing and am repenting. And I think that is all I can do.

I don't care WHO you are directing this kind of EVIL crap to-- or how NICE and FAKE you are in real life--- coming here specifically to hurt and twists knives in women with so much pain--- and going out of your way to write the sh*t you do on here-- IS NOT HURTING THE BS IN YOUR LIFE.

You are clearly lacking something very vital in your soul, in your heart THESE WOMEN DID NOT STICK IT TO YOU----- THE MM DID--- AND YOU DID------ WHY are you so damn bitter towards the BS-- she is NOT the one who hurt you-- she is the one that YOU HURT AND HELPED DESTROY---

Your gloating about collecting money from the "BS" --- sick.

I would respond to that but I just have the feeling that it would just go right over your head! It's something you would never understand.

Can someone please call the sanitation department? The LonelyGirl/Cheerful trash is starting to stink. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

(It amazes me that OW who claim to have such full and happy lives, spend so much of their precious time on our site! Pretty damn funny. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" /> )

I totally agree. I am big believer in KARMA.

Don't get me wrong. I think every child should be supported...

Oh I stick to her every chance I get Giovanna.

You don't know this lady. She's a whack job. I have no sympathy for her- she kicked her hubby OUT and was going to file for Divorce. I have no sympathy for her, she was already done with him when I came along.

Then she decided to get back in the game and run the show.

She ran it alright, straight to my bank account.

THAT is to xMM's BW, not to other BW's here. I don't post here to hurt anyone, just as you don't post on TOW to hurt anyone. I just give a different viewpoint, which reassures EVERYONE that NC is great!
