Oh dear.

And you, kizzy, are a brain-dead ignorant child with nothing better to fill your holidays than to insult people you have not met. When you grow up (if you survive) , you will never be half the man Papaoscar is (I am assuming that you are a little boy, from your lanuage and attitude)

Elegran!

Dagnabbit - I missed all the fun again!

Perfect, Elegran!

I love Elegran 's post. Wish I knew what sparked it, but it must have been very offensive to have been deleted!

Lots of rude words, Rowan. And nasty insults. Although, as far as I can recall, the spelling and grammar were quite good.

And I missed out a letter. Pity.

You shouldn't have said that Elegran, nobody would have noticed. I thought your post was top-notch.

Flipping Nora, and I missed it all ;)

I've read it again - wonderful, Elegran! Don't know what was said, but I've got an idea......

The crack about me was fairly accurate! haha

Grammar not that good, Dragonfly1 - as in the use of 'your' rather than 'you're'!

Papaoscar I truly understand what you are saying- but it is just too sad to contemplate. We are a very touchy feely family, and we will continue to be. If our grand-kids can't sneak in into our bed first thing int he morning for a cuddle, or we can't help bathe and dry them, or cuddle them if they fall or get hurt or are upset.... I refuse to let those few perverts spoil our healthy and happy family life. And I must say I am so happy to be now living in a country where teachers still comfort little ones if hurt or unhappy- where as a school Governor I was invited to join the school on a camping field trip and shared a tent with 8 young girls, where neighbours still hug the kids in the street and help care for them, etc. Sad beyond belief. Surely, this should be discussed with your children and their partners- and ask whether they would like you to adjust accordingly, as you describe, or would prefer for you to remain a 'normal' grand-pa to the grand-children.

True Ana - I didn't have time to read them all properly as GNHQ were pressing the delete button with speed! Your and you're drive me bonkers, so it's probably a good job I didn't notice.

I didn't see the ones after I reported the others

I don't know what went on but get the gist, so well said Elegran. Puzzled why anyone would take a crack at whenim when her posts are probably the most reasoned, sensible and well-informed of all .

Papaoscar, it is sad that these cases could make people nervous about men caring for children or spending time with their GC but these cases are rare (although not as rare as most people think unfortunately).

It is good to be aware (and for you, too, to be aware of the behaviour of others around your DGC) without it dominating all aspects of your relationship with them.
