Yes because I believe you should do anything to protect your kids. If you can prevent your child from seeing struggles you should do so. That's my opinion
You nailed it yourself - it's nonsense indeed what you wrote this time, Helena. But i grant you the excuse of not having been on PF, thus not having an idea how impossible it was to have a decent discussion there ever since Xena waddled in and stank up the place with her numerous and extremely verbose autobiographic posts which nobody asked for. We were all throwing up into our mouths by each one.
It's not about employment status / living standards / whatever nittygritty, but her bombastic self-delusions. And that you toss her a bone and she not only dutifully fetches it but runs 30 circles of defensive bullshitting with it what makes it worth to keep a tab open and half an eye on it as a fun distraction from work.
I reckon most of us are normal privileged enough not to have real-life acquaintances like xena, so for us it's the only venue to observe and interact with the bottom sludge of the petri dish - even if it's only virtual.
SRSLY? You asked for my honest opinion on skype.
I made up a bunch of excuses to NOT answer that question and wrote "no comment" several times before you pressured me. A few times if I remember correctly.
Then I said... "ok. If you want it, here it is."
I can dig out the gigi stick where I saved the convo if it's that much of a sore spot for you.
You asked. You asked more than once, even.
