Daughter said they are going to emigrate!!!

have we been had?

Quite possibly we have been.
I would hope that no one could pile on the emotional blackmail like that and then manipulate the grandchildren. It is very unfair.

"Had" or not, it is an interesting discussion.

Even if we've been 'had' someone in a similar situation may read this thread and think twice before they speak like that to their DD!

Every cloud

I also had this thought.

Out of interest was that just a good memory Ana or can you look at people older posts and if so how ?

Same question from me. On the other Forum I participate in, you can look up the history of a poster- either all her/his posts or all the threads started by her/him.

Just put the name in the Search box at the top of the page.

Obviously it's only useful if there haven't been many posts!

Just put my own username in and there are pages and pages...

My first and only post showed I was doubtful from the start.

Well, bugger. I have been really busy and not reading much or posting, but one of the great things about even an odd OP's post is that I learn a lot about the resonding posters. As I am a newbie it's nice to know there are others out there who carefully consider questions/situations and contribute helpful suggestions to the issues put up by OPs.

So I personally am taking back my part this thread to give a big thumbs up to say GN is a great place and am very glad to have found it. If there be trolls or even if GN tosses out these kinds of questions to create buzz... then maybe we just have to say 'lesson learnt' on a thread and move on.

Cheers to all of you!

So easy to sound wise after the event obieone.
I see that you asked if it was OP's first post. How on earth can that be construed as showing you were doubtful from the start??
