All of the ...You all are making some great points.<br /><br />All of the parental units are involved in a PR war that is unseemly and difficult on the kids. Most of it is a typical custody battle, but for me, the stepmom's posting of pictures and comments on Facebook really is where the line was crossed. As Katy points out, it's not uncommon, but it is inexcusable. <br /><br />"I love them," is not an excuse, particular when it's followed by "but". Loving children is a reason to be more sensitive, not just to the children's feelings, but to the other parent's feelings as well. <br /><br />The bottom line is that if you love children, you will honor their mom and their dad.Single and Sanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01088040256596780195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6658367767843980800.post-76782538156678976962010-08-07T09:01:16.094-05:002010-08-07T09:01:16.094-05:00I heard about this on the radio this week.

She new her kids were in Florida with her Ex and that he was in a relationship with another women, but if you watch the interview she gave to her local station she makes it seem like they were still a happily married family and the marriage thing blind sided her. No matter how you look at this they were clearly no longer a happily married family. They aren't even living in the same state!<br /><br />3)As for the step-mother Facebook taunting thing, I will just say from personal experiance that there is a reason why I'm not on Facebook. A lot of it has to do with stuff my daughter's step-mother posted on her wall refering the fictional close relationship they share. It upset me. I closed my facebook account.<br /><br />4)I think the dad is weird and handling the whole thing wrong and what kind of women would be involved with a man who treated his Ex wife, the mother of his children, with such callouse disregard?<br /><br />In the end they are all wackados.Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02610117543051640146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6658367767843980800.post-52342531823662236252010-08-06T07:44:40.877-05:002010-08-06T07:44:40.877-05:00I read about this story yesterday!

I agree that I think both sides are exaggerating a bit to get more sympathy, but I have to say, I TOTALLY agree about how the kids should be treated. I didn't know that this Amanda person had "claimed" them like that - I don't doubt that she loves them, but it does seem a bit superficial if you have to flaunt it on Facebook of all places.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18261577883948556041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6658367767843980800.post-17452621819935522342010-08-06T07:37:32.026-05:002010-08-06T07:37:32.026-05:00Wow.

And what a jerk Prince Charming is, if he can be so "meh" about a relationship with Lynn - and act as if his children are just mere possessions to be hauled here and there. I think all three of them have a screw loose. I really feel sorry for the kids, though.
