Hell no. There is no power in Heaven or Hell that could seperate me from my kids. I judge moms who give up custody.
Barring an inability to care for them whether it be an MI or dire straights, I judge, too. My MIL gave up her children to their father. So she could continue her affair with DH's teacher.

I'm not sure who WOULDN'T judge her that that decision!

So, get help. You don't have to give up your kids, unless you are really a whackadoodle.

Seriously?! The compassion is overwhelming...

Maybe she HAS tried to get help. Maybe she's resistant to meds.

Maybe she's a selfish beoitch who doesn't want to be bothered by her own kids. Why is your scenario more "right" than mine?

ANYONE who leaves their kids is scum to me.

The kids should be top priority. Especially in a divorce situation.

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

Yup. I completely agree Lilly.

Gaga - the OP asked for unpolular opinions on classic books, movies and music. Nice way to derail a thread with political gobbledy gook - don't we have enough threads for that?

???? So all moms should automatically have custody even if they are terrible parents? What if giving up custody is the only good thing they ever did for them?

Well, that's just wrong. The obvious choice is Friends - just in case you ever find yourself in that situation.

I still enjoy Friends reruns. I just can't understand what I saw in Seinfeld now that I've seen the reruns.

Friends is obnoxious. The Rachel character grates on my nerves. Her and Ross and all the whining.

I hated the Godfather. furious

I had to read 1984 for school. Hated it. Don't remember a thing about it. I think I forced it from my memory! biggrin

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Not a Harry Potter fan.

The Vampire Diaries. I don't even know where to begin with that.

I don't care for the more recent Batman movies. I really liked the ones with Val Kimmel and Michael Keaton.

Christian Bale? Not so much.

Timothy Dalton as James Bond was awful.

Harry Potter sucked. I don't really like the genre. Lord of the rings was ok mainly due to some cool battle scenes, but a bunch of kids playing ball while flying on broomsticks or whatever it was they were doing--dumb.

Lawrence of Arabia - although that one is likely b/c I did a paper on it in college and watched it about 11 times.

Chariots of Fire

Lord of the Rings - torture.

I might like the books if I read them, but I saw the movies first and that has turned me off forever.

Most fiction is a waste of time. You can learn a lot more reading non fiction.

Oh, I forgot all the series of Thomas covenant the unbeliever except the most recent few. Laura ingalls wilder, the entire series of both the hardy boys and Nancy Drew. The Shanara books except, again, the recent ones. Fritz Lieber.
