It is astonishing how many women will indeed put their children after their own sexual satisfaction/hopes. I suppose men do, too, but they are not usually living with those children because... Oh, it's all very depressing.<br /><br />I cannot even begin to imagine what my parents would have said if some man tried to give me a car for my 18th birthday. Possibly they would have thrown me out of the house because, obviously, if I was in any way involved with such a man, I must potentially be a horrible influence on my younger brothers and sisters.

I'...Terrible story and a dreadful young woman. <br /><br />I've noticed, though, that today there are far more stories about parents who neglect their duties towards their children than vice versa, especially where their sexual satisfaction is concerned. Theodore Dalrymple has a number of gruesome stories of parents who ejected their children from the family home at the request of a lover who did not want to share time with them. <br /><br />One of the horrors of the story of Nicole Brown Simpson was that her parents allowed her to accept the gift of a car (Jaguar? Corvette? Camaro? Can't remember but in the 1970s it could have been the latter) from O.J. Simpson for her 18th birthday. My father, and yours too, I feel certain, would have done I don't know what if an older man had given me a gift like that, leaving aside the fact that he was married and had children. <br /><br />ClioAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
