Feel like a sloth actually, must be hormonal, more likely lack of them at my time of life. If I didn't have to go to work this p.m. I would happily return to bed. Only got Saturday off this week too, eyelids getting heavy just at the thought.
Fed up with the flaming McCanns, I know I've said that before, but the trouble is the media keep it all going. Now talking about neglect, well actually neglect is probably a bit strong, they were selfish and stupid to leave those 3 kiddies in that appartment for reasons I have exhausted before, but possibly not guilty of actual neglect that's a whole different area. It all comes from having too much and wanting even more - they are obviously well off, both being professionals in highly paid jobs, lovely home, lovely family but it's never enough is it and once again, disease if you like of this generation, they want nothing to change when they have a family, well it does and they ought to be thinking it changes for the better, not what they are going to miss out on. Seems to me no one these days wants to save for the things they need/want, and when people have children all they whinge on about is missing out on their "me time" - get a grip everyone. Either that or stay single and selfish.
Boring myself now and anyway must dry my hair, have a bath and get to work. Hope everyone happy, trust I will have more life when next I visit blogland.

Your post puts it about right lizzie, but I think that it was an example of their life style, you don't just leave your kids when you are on holiday, I think that may have been their attitude for a long time, if they had always cared about their kids they wouldn't have just stopped caring because they were on holiday, the very time when you do your best to share as much time as possible with them.
