  Knight Education

  young king arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a neighboring kingdom.

  the monarch could have killed him, but was moved by arthur's youth and ideals.

  so the monarch offered him freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult question.

  OMG Xena,

  That was hilarious! I think there were some truths to be found in that little story.

  Well,

  I will probably regret posting my opinion on this matter, but since you asked...

  I saw the thread where Kent posted Prisca's pic. I don't care how Kent rationalized it...it was blackmail in my opinion.

  I saw that Kent and Prisca were in chat immediately after it happened and I went in there to voice my opinion to Kent. I also voiced it on the thread in question. I told him it was wrong to try to silence someone by threats in this manner...I don't care how pissed off you are at them!

  I understand Prisca's outrage at the attempted intimidation this was. I also understand her outrage that someone she sent her pic to forwarded it to someone else without her permission. That was wrong, in my opinion.

  Just about everyone here has voiced that it is a person's own personal choice when they should have to face the consequences of being "out" with their family members. No one else has the right to try to force that issue.

  Prisca, what others may be trying to tell you, because this is the way I feel about it too, is that it's a done deal. People expressed their outrage and support of your feelings. There is nothing any of us can do about it now. We cannot make Kent change his personality, nor can we make the person who sent him the pic fess up. It may well have been an innocent matter, we just don't know.

  Your continuing to bring it up time and time again, I don't care if you feel that it is in related threads, makes it appear that you are attempting to keep bringing the focus back to yourself and the wrong that was done to you. Insisting that you will get to the bottom of it is unreasonable in my opinion as you have no control over forcing the person who posted it to come forward. THAT is why people are saying you should once and for all drop it on the board as there is no reasonable course of action that can address your feelings on the matter.

  I am not telling you to get over it or any such nonsense. I do not feel that you did anything stupid in sending your pic to a few friends. I am sorry that you had to learn a tough lesson from it. I have learned to be very careful what I reveal to others "on the net" also. I just think it is time to let it go. That's all. Discuss it with friends privately, seek support that way if you feel the need. Keep discussing it here if you feel you must. But again, it does make it appear to some that it is a cry for attention. And to keep bringing it up makes every thread it is in deteriorate. It is your decision.

  i would like to post my personal experience here because i can't tell anyone else.

  we couldn't help falling in love, and we both made extreme sacrifices to be together.

  Hi Malian and welcome

  I think Jayhawk and Venice had some excellent words of wisdom for you. As much as it hurts to end a 5 year relationship...it hurts less than ending a 15 year relationship that involves two kids. Many here have stories that are similar.

  I am glad you are finding support and comfort on this board. There is enough variety to have something that appeals to everyone, I think. Please keep posting and let us know how you're doing!

  Did I miss you? What a silly question. We had absolutely no fun while you were gone.

  I am glad your dad is better, and most importantly that you got to see him. I know Angharad missed you terribly...a little bird told me.

  Hehehehe, funny pic

  I feel sorry for kids brought uo in that kind of media attention? He lost his mom, and wasn't even allowed to grieve in private really. How on earth do they have a chance to grow up "normal"?

  Funny man Simon, send them over here to us and we'll open up...Royal World...or Have Lunch With The Prince?

  we are sitting at lunch when my friend casually mentions that she and her husband are thinking of "starting a family".

  "we're taking a survey," she says, half-joking.

  ANYONE who tried to take away my morning coffee would get the

  All the rest I can pretty much handle, except number 6. I don't deal real well with people who "take things out on me" because they're having a bad day or whatever. I tell them to go away until they're human again.

  should mothers work?

  by sleepy in

  should mothers work?.

  i was just reading how some tv personnality earns 250.000 a year and pays for someone to mind her children.. isn't this making her job more important than her children?would she pay this much herself for a child minder or is her job more important than being certain her children are recieving the best care?.

  thats just thinking aloud ' i'm not sure where i stand on this.. maybe staying home with young children all day is to much for one human prehaps we need to do other things and children don't need their mother all the time and are ok with someone else.. i was looked after by my mother when young who gave up her job when pregnant with her first child.. my wife however was looked after by a child minder while her mum went to work .she feels she didn't miss out and would do the same.

  I'm with Adonai on this one. I don't think first of all that it's any one else's business but the mother and father of the baby(assuming they are together). I saw too many women tear themselves up with guilt because they had to work to feed their children...they were fine mothers who took good care of their kids and I think their kids have as much chance of turning out healthy and well adjusted as those who have stay at home moms.

  On the other side of the coin, I've seen stay at home moms who became so depressed with the tedium of taking care of little ones day in and day out, that they actually were poor caretakers for their kids.

  I chose to stay home with mine until they went to school, and I don't regret a minute of it. I didn't want to miss out on anything they did...but I also stayed busy and didn't let the kids become the center of my life which I think is unhealthy. If I were to have another child now GOD FORBID I would have to return to work shortly after. But I would still love it the same as the others, and care for it the same.

  You can be a GREAT parent without spending every minute with your kids, but that's just my opinion.
