Fairy Tale sm
Family has no money to fix car, lawnmower, house had to be refinanced. Good pop doesn't believe in divorce so lets wife who runs around til 3-4 in the a.m. with another guy go to Egypt alone to meet foreign guy but hubby keeps check on computer and talks to other guy involved. Hubby good guy, waits for mommy to come home. Kids have no idea - everything is wonderful in the Cleaver household, mom is on vacation. Kids don't suspect a thing, don't hear any evil, see any evil, just waiting for all to return to normal. All is well with these little kids. Yeah right! Poor babies. Jeesh! Where's this guy's backbone?
I know it won't be a fairy tale...but (sm)
we have fought like cats and dogs for about 15 years. For each of us, the thought of having the other not living with them is a relief. My own dad used to come for holidays with my mom and her current husband. So I am aware it can happen. I am sorry if things did not work out that way for you. And they may not work out that way for me, but I can dream of some day having peace.
i agree not to lie, but allow the fairy tale!!
i always asked questions -- like really? you don't think there is a santa claus?? etc. Its fun for the imagination. My grown daughter now tells how she used to listen for the reindeer's footsteps on the roof -- and one night she thought she heard them!! Its a fun thing. But no, i never lied. If you EVER lie to your children, they will always question your honesty in a sensitive matter.
My 14-YO still believes. So did I at that age.

No, I am just someone who believes (sm)
in innocent until proven guilty and the right to a fair trial. You just enjoy being judgmental and hateful. I feel sorry for you, I really do.
Too bad that you mom believes in sm
swearing on the bible but also believes in demons. I don't have any of the problems that you and many others have posted, but I do feel for you.
My 3rd grader still believes as do all of her friends - sm
and I do not shelter my kids. They go to school, attend brownies, and dance. I hope she still believes next year, as well as my younger daughter (now 6). It is all part of the magic of Christmas and the mystic quality of all of it. Santa is a wonderful idea and ideal, promotes the joy of giving, whether it be a gift, or your time to helping others in need. I don't remember when I stopped believing, somewhere in the 8-9 year-old range but I had 2 older brothers but I believe my mom had them keep their mouths shut so I could believe as long as was able. I was a year younger than most the kids in my class too. ---to those who think its wrong to lie about santa, I presume this means your kids never had the joy of the Easter bunny or the tooth fairy as well. I think all that is part of a happy childhood.
My daughter is in 3rd grade and still believes
and so do most of her classmates/friends! She has never questioned if Santa was real or not and I absolutely have no intention of telling her anytime soon. You obviously know nothing about MOST 3rd graders if you think that they don't belive in Santa!! Maybe I just live in a city where having an imagination and embracting childhood is still a good thing.
ur the same poster who believes the RAINN figures
right?

mammas and wives
Hopefully he is not married to his mamma and needs no nipping.
Because men blames their wives, that's why. sm
Been there, done that, got the T-shirt, many decades ago. I was always told by him that I was not pretty enough, not sophisticated enough, not "with-it" enough, just not good enough in any way. I bought into that for years until I could no longer stand it and left. The little sucker was actually a compulsive adulterer and cheated on his next wife too, a beautiful, much younger woman. So I know what I'm saying. Once a cheat, always a cheat.
I'm paying for all those wives and kids...
They only claim one wife as a legal wife, so the others they marry are married in the church but not on paper, so they think they are getting by with polygamy. So what happens to all those wives with children? They go to the welfare office, since they are single moms ( no marriage certificate), they are eligible for Medicaid, my taxes to pay for their children, food stamps, on and on. That is fraud and they should be ashamed of themselves, since they know exactly what they are doing... where is their religion in all this? This is scheming.....they call it "bleeding the beast", meaning the government. Of course, they do not care that it is the taxpayer's dollar, because they consider themselves better than the "outside world", since they believe they are the chosen people anyway.
It is as if some men get angry if their wives are sick or hurt (sm)
He does it every time too :(
If I knew there was a history of cheating on former wives,
then my opinion would be different. I think that once cheating occurs, it is more likely to be repeated in future relationships. Not saying that this is your case, but it would worry me.
I am watching "My Husband's Three Wives"
I'm watching TLC's "My Husband's Three Wives". I'm also steaming. The jerk (nice name for him) doesn't believe in monogamy, at least where it concerns him. I wonder if he would agree to another husband?
I didn't know you compound wives knew how to use computers!!!

That explains better why you would post here. Pastor's wives are often isolated from friends. W
