In these families, there is frequently a scapegoat child. It’s likely that the two other children now really resent the abused child because he’s why they were removed from their home. As caseworkers, we always struggled with these situations because usually you want to try to preserve the sibling bond. But in some…

Why do you say that?

I doubt it. She would have had to provide doctors’ records to prove the special needs. It doesn’t sound like that child was going to the doctor.

Entirely possible, though, that the absent parent in this case never knew they had a child.

The judge has to follow the law on this. This case is not at all unusual from what I’m reading.

They all say yes. I’ve seen kids horribly mistreated, scars on their bodies, and they just want to go home. Kids sorely neglected want to go home. Kids emotionally and verbally abused want to go home. As a kid, home is the center of your world. It’s crazy for outside adults to look at and wonder why but it’s very real…

My gracious, how lovely! I wanted to star you so much. That is absolutely beautiful and now I want to copy you (but not in a Single White Female way).

Isn’t that the plot of Pearl Harbor?

Yup. And we all know that Trump has a habit of telling on himself. He cannot keep a lid on anything.

There’s always cosmetic surgery. I’m sure she has contacts in that industry. Barron can look any way they want after Trump kicks off.

Trump would have to call for his golf cart if he expected to make it across the street anyway. So Don Jr.’s going up in flames for sure if he counts on Dad’s piss.

Idris is going to be The Gunslinger in The Dark Tower movies. That should keep him busy for a decade. (I hope those movies are that good.)

Missing the point still. It’s not about women making choices about their bodies and lifestyles. It’s about moms who think that mom-as-CEO skills belong on their resume. They don’t but no one can have a reasonable conversation about that because people like you and other commenters on this thread get distracted by a…

Also Meet the Patels (in the list of supposed examples of brown men/white women media) is a documentary and a pretty good one at that.

These guys learn this in Sunday School. He’s probably already had to trot out that tired excuse already in his life. This one just happened to make the papers.

What you don’t see because you’ve let yourself get so enraged that a SAHM is, in your eyes, attacked, is that no one is actually attacking OP for SAHM’ing. The kerfuffle is that she said those skills are suitable for a resume. That’s the issue, not the fact she decided to stay home with her kids.

Most people don’t lose custody for making their kid late to soccer practice. But go on, you! Grats for getting in a zinger!

Bet the money that they are using that toilet-training method where you let the kid be naked from the waist down and get the training done in like 3-4 days (so I hear). They just missed the memo that it shouldn’t be done in places that get graded inspections.

Why do you think I don’t have kids? Is it because you don’t have time while raising your snowflakes to do some extra-household activities? That’s cool; not everyone can do everything. But lots of parents can hold down a full time job, raise their kids, and do some volunteer-work for their schools and communities. But…

Most people don’t need to hone the skill of making everyday like tasks into office skills because they don’t have to. Most people who want to get back into the workforce after a significant absence understand that they need to be doing some sort of volunteering and/or education as well as keeping up with changes in…
