Haha, she is so Rory. Rory came from a wealthy family yet always complained about being broke, wore designer labels all the time, planned a move to New York despite being too broke to buy underwear. Also the whole inflated sense of her own talent thing (I won’t go on about all the ways in which Rory is a terrible journalist but she’s terrible).She's Rory Gilmore - entitled, thinks shes a journalist. Pov backstory and always bailed out.
She's very busy and important, now fuck off if you please.When my child’s other parent and I split I did look forward to my every other weekend ‘off’, mainly because the rest of the time I held down a highly stressful full time job and dealt with all the day to day parenting. Wtf does she actually do?
I think that is normal though. Little sleepovers at grandparents etc is all normal and good for everyone. Its healthy to get an occasional break, change of scene and people. But Jack is describing large chunks of time and she does make him sound like an inconvenience. He is one boy, a healthy pre teen and a sweet boy by the sounds of it. It is not comparable to having multiple children and children with physical health issues/asd. She has it unbelievably easy. Her attitude is real slap in the face to all hard working loving parents single and in couples.Parenting is really hard. I find the never ending constant small people very tough. Lockdown and this past year especially and one day I look forward to a weekend away without my children. (I think I will be expected to take Mr V but can’t have everything) so it is nice to have time off. But that just sounded like he was an inconvenience in her life and I think that’s terrible. I’m sure his dad makes up for it.
Lots of serious parent chat going on around me and I'm likeFather Antonio was gorg. Totally would. View attachment 526948
She feels she's missing out when he's there, that's the saddest thing. She always writes about him in terms of resentment - having to cook and clean, put the washing machine on, do the school run, take him to bed at 7pm after his meal of slop and conversation cards.She is so lucky that her kids dad would take him so much, but doesn't she feel like she's missing out on so much( because she is) being apart from him, she missing out on lots of his experiences and how he deals with it.
From what I can see is she really has him 1 full weekend and for a few hours in the school week. No offence but in a few years I can see him going to live with dad as that were he most of the time going to his mum's must be like a little trip.
He's aged nicely! No idea who he is like, but he's attractiveSorry for the OT fraus but omg he is still delicious. I used to love Sunset Beach as a teen. It was ridiculous in a so bad it's good kind of way.

Back OT, I will do the next thread if I'm around at the time.
That is the 64 million dollar question, no doubt a crack team somewhere is working on this conundrumWhen my child’s other parent and I split I did look forward to my every other weekend ‘off’, mainly because the rest of the time I held down a highly stressful full time job and dealt with all the day to day parenting.

Or something you whisper to your actual mates. Having a break from a child is healthy and normal but to say you much prefer it if they stay somewhere else most of the time is a bit unfair.I completely understand that parents need a break. I just think she should be more mindful about how she talks about her son online. We don't know what their relationship is like, but I would feel hurt if my mum was posting on social media that she sees me as a burden, and I mean, I'm 34 and she has about 100 Facebook friends. Jack's words could have a much deeper impact.
Surely celebrating a break from your offspring is what anonymous Mumsnet accounts are for?
He was topless on the previous page so now you have all the necessary info. He's aged well like a fine wine. A proper silver fox phoarrr. He can elbow Matt out the way from now onHe's aged nicely! No idea who he is like, but he's attractive

I think you are right, she thinks she would get money for surrogacy. She needs to put SB first and get herself into therapy before considering another child. She was determined to have a child despite being warned against it by her parents and she has used the poor boy as a poverty accessory ever since. Just like her pets, she seems not to recognize a real living creature with needs and a life of their own.How would she even be able to support this child? Or does she think Owen will give her child support payments for the odd day the child stays over at her shitty bungalow?
She should be thinking of her forever home, not considering bringing another child into her chaotic life. It would be another selfish act.
Unless she is considering becoming a surrogate for money, but that is illegal in the UK, only expenses allowed Jack. And you wouldn't get to see the child at all, that is what surrogacy means.
I would often have to ‘force’ (not literal use of force) my child to go and stay with the other parent. I didn’t do this because I didn’t want them with me, I did it because it was vital that they maintain a relationship with both of us and that the other parent had the opportunity to actually, y’know, continue parenting. I admit to being guilty of the ‘I’m fed up, can’t wait until they go away for the weekend’ trope and the occasional ‘you can go live with them full time then’, and yes it was lovely to have that break from ‘rl’ but I never actively thought of my child as a burden like she seems to do with SBOr something you whisper to your actual mates.
