Finally i said please Tell me How come the children turned out so Well when they had such Lazy dumb mothers they lit into me and insisted that the children had been trained by their fathers. I have six wonderful grand children Ann and although my son is a Fine person i know his wife deserves 85 per cent of the credit. Please print my letter and comment. Fair is fair dear fair when you see thoughtful considerate Well mannered children it s a pretty Safe Assumption that both parents worked together to bring up those kids properly.

In addition to the big Hau she made on the Shower outside of the family gave her some Beautiful wedding must have cleared Over $1,000 in Cash and , less than 10 months later they Are getting a divorce. What i want to know is this is the girl entitled to keep All those gifts her people gave very cheap presents. Outside really shelled out the Money. They did it for him nother. Please advise. Feeling robbed dear feeling the gifts reconsidered part of the House hold goods and unless so Especial arrangement is made in the divorce settlement the household goods usually go with the House which usually goes to the wife.
