But this was maybe normal for them.

Have they tested to see if Boris Johnson is her father?
did anyone think she was?
There’s needing time away from them and then there’s abandoning them. You just wouldn’t do it. Especially in a foreign country. If you go out without them then you make sure you have another family member looking after them.
Julia Wandelt.
Ultimately no, but it would have been a hell of a twist to the story. The girl seemed earnest, even if it felt a million to one shot.
No argument here mate, I went to see Stewart Lee with my wife last Monday and didn't even feel comfortable making a night of it knowing my Mum was looking after my two daughters.
This whole saga goes to show how cruel media are. They exploited a clearly sick 21-year old for their own benefit so they could sell a story, all while exposing her parents to abuse.
She sounds like she wanted a way out of her current life. Maybe she was hoping that she could somehow escape and I don't think she will be okay after all this. If there was a history of abuse in her life and now she has confirmation that it's the only life she'll have, she won't be in a good place.
And I am sure that there is not a minute when they don't regret that action.
So your mother, who I assume raised you, isn’t capable of looking after your children? Worried she’ll be giving them ice lollies and pear cider?
I don’t want to answer for TH but my dad raised me. He’s now 74 with alzheimer's on setting and there’s no way in hell he will be baby sitting my son. It’s almost like people in their 60/70/80s might not be as capable as people in their 20/30/40s
Yea but you wouldn’t let @esmufc07 babysit either to be fair.
Sounds to me that this ordeal might finally be resolved.
No, more that my daughters aren't used to not having myself or my wife if they wake up at night. It's nothing to do with my mother and everything to do with the needs of my children.
My mum does look after my two year old daughter three days a week. It can be really frustrating hearing her struggle with her from time to time because she's not as mobile as she once was, and just the way she parented is different to the way I parent now because the way to parent has changed in the last 25-30 years... But as I say in my post above it's not about not trusting my mum, it's about what happens if my daughters wake up and need me or my wife and we aren't there to comfort them.
Only because @esmufc07 said he wants to play football with my son. And when I replied “with my son” he replied “yes WITH your son”.
Is that not part of growing up?
It's almost as if people don't act rationally when they find out one of their children is missing and might be in danger.
This.
It is but if I don’t think they are ready and I get peace of mind, what’s the issue? They’re my kids
In fairness have you ever seen @esmufc07 try to kick a football?
Yeah, I mean do whatever you think is best, but it sounds like it's limiting you from enjoying some needed time with no kids. They usually get over that phase pretty quickly.
It’s probably a me thing more than anything to be fair, my wife seems comfortable with the idea and she gets more anxious about them than I do usually. It’s the little one I’m more concerned about because the older one sleeps through these days
Chelsea have offered 80 million for him with an 8 year deal to get around FFP.
