Some people are so old fashioned (in the bad sense) with their opinions because they need something to fill up their boring sh***y lives. Screw what strangers think; or better still, tell them what you think of them.

I dont think you should listen to people's generalisations, this Govt doesn't make it easy for a mother to return to work, childcare costs are high and I agree a lot of employers aren't flexible enough. You dont have to prove yourself to anyone.

That is a ridiculous statement to make and I am deeply offended by it. I was Iantos carer and I resent you implying that I was neglectful in my care for him. You really should think before you speak or do you just not care about other peoples feelings????

i totally agree with bernadette. that was a nasty thing to say i know loads of carers that love the people they care for and do a very good job at it aswell...

cashman · 11-12-2007, 21:51

there are quite a few members who have been carers for loved ones,and to generalise like that is abysmal blazey, sometimes you should look at the big picture before engaging yer big gob.

does your statement apply to anyone careing for someone?? this must include teachers, nursery nurses and mothers as they care for children... so does your mother neglect her children?

So why do you just no get married then, if you were trying for a year to become a family unit? OK.. old-fashioned opinion maybe.

Getting married seems to be an old fashioned idea these days but I hope it makes a come back.

i know what ur saying ive been married 24 years now been together 25 years but for our kids to get married now a days it is so expensive i think thats one reason why they dont seem intrested to get married.

I think this is definately one of the reasons....getting wed really does cost over the top amounts of money these days if you want whats considered a 'nice wedding'.To most it would mean getting into debt....something alot of people dont want to do,but thats a whole new topic

That is because we did it and now we know better. In my opinion 20 is too young to have children. You should be enjoying time with your other half while you still can. Children make a massive change to your life. You wont realise how massive till you have one.

I thought the trend now was to sort out your life/job/house etc then have children later in life, maybe in your 30's.

Except the ones who want council houses and free council tax of course

I don't agree with that either. It depends why you want to get married. Is it because you want to be married or because you want to have a nice day? A friend of mine recently got married at the registrar office with just their parents there. They told hardly anyone about it until after the event. They did not need to get wed for any 'other' reason, they just wanted to be married to each other.

Thats another reason for doing the marriage bit first and the baby bit second. After the baby bit you will never have enough money for the wedding bit

I know, I did the baby bit first, but he did look smart in his top hat at the wedding
