This is a place where childfree people by choice rant about what a crap job we are all doing and when they are not doing that they enjoy cutting and pasting news stories about abused children

just had a look too - my good, some of these people are nutters ( thats putting it mildly!!) actually, its funny this link was put on; the other day I was surfing around to see if there were any other expat sites around, and the ones I found seemed very wierd - postings that were full of obscenities, or made no sense! others had loads of postings but no replies!!
what a jolly friendly bunch of expats/expats-to-be we are!!!
scary thought though - if over half the population ( or whatever the stats are) has access to the internet, and presuming most of them actively use chatrooms/discussion forums, there are soom seriously wierd folk out there!! what kind of world have I brought my kids into??
Sorry I digress...
I hopr you all get things sorted out with your exes, it must be a very stressful time for you.
good luck

Tempting isn't it, but as a parent you would not be welcome. I have never posted as I feel i have better manners than them and do not wish to sink to their level.
These people have deeply disturbing outlook on life and the rights of children to be treated with respect. I know it has opened my eyes to the world of childfree people and now am more wary when I encounter them as they now represent more of a risk of being foe rather than friend to my children.
