Best interest of the child

Best Interest of the child
Picture the scene:
You meet, you talk, you touch, you agree that life would be unbearable without each other.
You abort them, you promise, you implore, you beg , you cajole, you direct, you explore, you enchant, you enthrall, you charm, you set ground rules, you obey, you disobey.
You’re exhausted!
You panic!
She screams!
You scream!
It screams!!
They scream!!!
,.. the pitter patter of small feet grow louder,

You meet, you talk, you touch, you agree thats it golf on Wednesdays, salsa on Fridays, but oh I cant miss football, and I cant miss strictly come prancing!
It cries, cant decide who should provide the emotional support
Its given a name, happy days, friends and family, little its gotta a name!

Workloads heavy, cant always be home on time,.. will you do the ironing tonight and what about dinner? Little IT’s swallowed a sock, off to see the Doc!
Panic all about us!
Name calling and shaming, it was all your fault, no it wasn’t,.. i do as much as you if not more and I earn double!
You don’t appreciate me, I think this was a mistake,.. we don’t even fuck anymore, all we do now is make love.
I think you are seeing someone else! You don’t love me anymore,.. I don’t even think you love it!
I want you out, am better off without you! ( you're not wrong! )

But its my house!
Do I care! All I need is a fancy lawyer and some well placed lies, and lack of conscience and we can remedy that!
But what about my child? I love my child, I cant be without my child,...
No me, no child! No house and I want half your shit,.. this is my child, my home, my chair, my tv, my wardrobe, my bed, my carpet and rug, my mug!
Mine! mine!mine! all mine!

Boy do I feel like a mug!
What happened? Where is the love? Have you no shame?
Get out! The judge says I can have it all!
I guess you have won the lottery, hope it makes you happy

The best interest of the child!
You dad is shit, he’s useless, done nothing for you, no presents, no letters, no card, no fucking phone calls! He’s shit! He is just a womaniser and he doesn’t love you!

A familiar story???
I guess in the heat of passion and protestation of love and affection one should be careful who one has a child with, who one chooses to explore one’s life with.

Often in the interest of the child the mother will tell the child that the absent father doesn’t love them, has never sent presents, nor called, nor written.
Had he called, written or sent presents,..it would have been shredded and binned, phone would have been slammed down, because he loves his IT, he would have to be punished!

Yet the inconvenient truth is that the bitterness and hurt following the split makes the child’s interest the last thing on her mind. He has to suffer for daring to leave me for a younger woman!
For daring not to love me no more,.. all those beautiful things about him that made him lovable when you first met,.. like the way he was a father to your child, a strong and dependable man, gave a home to all and shared the little or lot he had doesn’t count for squat no more,.. the holidays, the moments shared are forgotten in the desperation to make him PAY!

God I hate him and so should you too IT!
He’s a loser, selfish and unfaithful

All in the interest of the child!
With God all things are possible.

The interest of the child SHOULD be paramount!
Even if you cannot stand the sight of that once beautiful smile, that brought you out in giggles of excitement. Remember it isn’t about you,.. Its about IT,... your child

The views expressed here are my own personal views and observation on life as I observe it. Its my contribution to the ongoing debate of ‘ whats in the childs best interest ‘ when parents split up!

Its a curious world we live in!

Over the last few weeks all the media attention has been on celebrities who cheat and what lessons and examples they are giving to the minnions who allegedly have lesser life's. I find myself examining carefully that world celebrity. To my uninitiated mind I thought celebrity meant someone who has achieved something of worth or note, worth emulating or that leaves you inspired,..hence the word celebrated.
Boy was I wrong: The latin meaning of the word:- celebrity
The word itself comes from the latin word " celebritatem" meaning, literally, 'condition of being famous' which means people just have to recognise you for you to be a celebrity. The irony of course is that most celebrity strive for years to be famous then wear dark glasses as not to be receognised while moaning constantly about being famous.
Two points here: Firstly, why is the Accusative Singular taken as the word from which English 'celebrity' comes from? Secondly, 'Celebritas' literally meaning a 'multitude', a 'crowd', and the word itself stems from the word 'celebro' - to go to a place often.

But I digress. I guess the point I am trying to make is what the media considers newsworthy over the last month, to date in column inches are: tiger woods ( sex scandal), john terry ( sex scandal ), ashley cole ( yet another sex scandal! ) I think you get the picture. These issues are private issues and should remain in the domain of such. Can Tiger Woods play Golf? Yes. Was it his marriage that made him famous? No,.. Is John Terry a good footballer? well, thats debatable,.. I think you get my drift,..

In that time we have had no less than 4 earthquakes, killing thousands of people, the genocide & hunger in sudan continues unabated, and we are sleep-walking into a nightmare of enormous proportions with the conservative party seemingly heading for 10 downing street following the upcoming UK elections!

We can now view and download data and share data with people around the world in seconds and I have recently found out that on an I-phone or other similar gadgets you can view real life scenes from camera's around the world and even manipulate them! ( Pure voyeurism ) Yet, we are unable or unwilling to help people who die every second in the third world thru lack of drinkable water or food, we are unable to offer the elderly of this country free heating & care in the winter months and often finding some have died of cold and usually of loneliness. I think I read it somewhere that we are shall be judged by the way we treat our elders,..

There is a method to my madness! I am not saying that technology is not good, Nor am I saying that it shouldnt enhance the quality of peoples lifes what I am saying is that it should be inclusive in enhancing the quality of life of all human being!
