Oh my, It's been a long time since I first said this to someone in chat  . . .

RG, I'm gonna paraphrase something I read here a LONG time ago. I can't even begin to remember who posted it first, but it is SO true. You may have them for their first 18 years, but their fathers will have them for the REST OF THEIR LIVES

This is so true but my "other" more famous quote is also true . . .

The Witch

Remember . . . KARMA is a Wonderful Thing!!!

I don't recall the particular post that you're referring to, but I agree with your last two paragraphs.

Actually that mentality is present in both genders, and encompasses everything from workplace behavior to driving on freeways.  I think it stems from a lack of morality, and I don't mean sex necessarily.  Our society has lost certain core values, and it's showing.    

I have a friend.  He's hanging in there until his kids turn 18.  The oldest is already 16, and plans to move out and live with her dad on her 18th birthday.  I'm sure the second one will follow her sister.  The boy is pretty young, and the mother still has time to work on him.

Raingirl will find out the hard way that her children are separate beings, and have a right to see their fathers.  They are not an extension of herself.  There is time for her to fix this, if she chooses to.
