http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/category15.asp A Selection of the latest gripes in the category of Family and Relationships from The Weekly Gripe UK Webz ©2006 http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/rss.jpg http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/category15.asp I have been with my partner for 6 years now. I love him very much and want to spend the rest of my life with him. The real problem I have though is his spoiled 14 year old daughter and the fact that we just don't get along. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a1030.asp This week I met up with my friends from schooldays for a Christmas get together. We went to Al Forno's in New Malden. Not long after we were seated at our table several couples came in with their children. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a1025.asp I can't believe how many similar stories about the way parents are being treated by the CSA there are on here, and although reading them makes me feel like at least it isn't only us, it also makes me realise that this is never going to end. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a1022.asp Wow... where do I start? My partner and I were put in a position about 6 months ago. My mother-in-law was charged with serious child neglect against my other half’s brothers and sisters... http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a1013.asp I am a non-resident parent who has disappeared abroad. I have battled with the Child Support Agency for 6 years and my gripe is that a very corrupt and unfair system has separated many children from loving fathers. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a997.asp I'd like to apologise to begin with, I'm afraid it's yet another story of a divided family with the ex not paying any maintenance and not really giving a damn about his kids. Still, it's nothing out of the ordinary these days it would seem. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a995.asp It is not only the UK that is full of unruly kids. I've seen exactly the same thing abroad too. Shopping centres and restaurants are not playgrounds in any country and parents should make an effort to control their kids. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a980.asp I've attempted to speak with her to basically request that all ill feelings toward me please be set aside when it concerns my child. The fact that someone can be so insecure, devious, manipulative, and down right crazy sickens me. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a979.asp I really want to fight for my children, but I don’t know who to believe or what I should do. Their father has said that they want to stay with their stepmother rather than come and live with me. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a971.asp I don't mind if pubs have things for children to do and are family friendly, but there should be a certain time that they are allowed in the pub, preferably, 6pm onwards no children at all, or at least no under 10 year-olds! http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a967.asp
