My kids prefer their Canadian life to their UK one! |

My kids prefer their Canadian life to their UK one! Although the question wasn't, do your kids prefer one country over the other? I was interested in any issues that have surfaced because of the cross and mixed cultural component of family dynamics. |

I think you're the one to answer that question. :confused:

Re: Child abuse?
I suspect there is a tendency for sympathetic masturbation, administered by the loving human dog-mother in a stealthy, yet clinical, loving sense. Compulsive, uncontrolled tendencies [born from a lack of actual human motherhood and human-child nurturing and an irrational hatred of men] lead to an extenuated motherly sense that baby dog needs to be sexually released (without contamination from an alien handbag other-dog), and, given the sex of the elderly human administrator of the ejaculatory procedure and the violent, demanding attitude of the small perfumed puffball purse-dog, a criminal act of beastiaility is overlooked as a kindness to cute furball whose eternal existence is to accompany the short-tempered shortarsed round-lady who carries the dog-carrying purse from high-fashion clothes store, via the library, then back to her trailer where she feeds it predigested prime steak from her own mouth and lips.
I suppose that's why they wear matching clothes.

Plus cultural issues. The other dogs wear clothes and are carried around by owners wearing matching outfits.

Re: Child abuse?
My 2 1/4 year old Canadian born daughter can say 'I only told you to blow the bloody doors off!' although not, as yet in a Michael Caine accent. Is that child abuse on my part?

"If the milk turns out to be sour, I ain't the kinda pussy to drink it" or "They'd be too scared - I'm a geezer." |

I turned out ok. The thing I found weird wasn't the different culture but the fact that I spoke French away from home and English at home. Turns out I have an English accent in English and a French accent in French. So if anything I see my kids move to Canada as an enriching experience! |
