In fact, you are so astonishingly correct in this matter, it will not surprise us one bit if you are offered a generous settlement, because, by golly, that’s just how it should be.

You Rock,

I received your PM, and I am not making judgements as to your parenting skills. I posted your prior threads, that is all, so that people viewing can get a better understanding. Please do not PM me again.

Call CPS, you are not in a situation to care for these children and their proper care needs to be assigned to an appropriate party by the courts.

I have to agree. Call CPS.

My response:

I don't even think there's a trailer in this story. I think there's a log cabin or a pup tent. A trailer would be a "step up".

Once, 30 years ago, I saw a family with 5 children under the age of 6 living in a shack (8x8) and a car along the waterfront, to this day I am dumbfounded.

When my hubby was a kid in eastern europe under communism, they were "assigned" an apartment which was shared with FIVE families. Each family had a bedroom, they all shared a kitchen/LR and a toilet down the hall. Bathing had to be done at a public bathhouse, as the apartments had no bathing facilities.
