Bairnardo Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 The sheriff found the facts proven and no need for anyone to give evidence,we were given a 3rd and final 22 day temp child protection order an now go to a final hearing on 30th Jan.She never turned up again.Theres something a wee bit similar going on in my family the now. I wont go into the details but in that case, as in yours, it is truly heartwarming to see (not listen to idle talk, actually SEE) people fighting like f**k for the kids. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what you’ve shared on here, absolutely no surprise that no evidence was required. Hopefully the final hearing goes the way it absolutely should. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How anyone can walk away from kids is a mystery to me,when i spilt up from my ex wife the 1st thing we talked about was how I would help her support the kids.Because of that I have a great relationship with them after all this time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve been through the mill with all this, but they wouldn’t have it any other way, especially how she’s turning out. Not how it should be Keith, but you wouldn’t have it any other way 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye I know, we’ve had the same, but In a different way with our eldest granddaughter, who’s profoundly disabled and needs 24hr care. We’ve put our lives on hold for 8 years to be carers and give respite for our son and daughter in law. Not what we ever imagined or dreamt life in our 50s would be, but that’s reality. Grandparenting is by far the greatest experience of my life, sometimes the input just needs to be more than it should be. You and your wife will shape them kids into adults and I’m sure they’ll be adults to be proud of 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nelsjfc Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Do other folks kids get made to pray at school? Our 9 year old has had three or four occasions now where a minister has come and led prayers. I've no issues with them learning about religion in school but I'm pretty uncomfortable with them having to waste time in services when it is a non-denominational school.Hope you get a bit more certainly in the next few weeks Keith. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want your kid involved in religious practice do it in own time. ‘Non dom’ still seems mean church Scotland. Ridiculous in this day and age. My son asked why there’s a fence between their school and one beside it. And it’s not hard figure out why bigotry persists. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would alternate between the Church of Scotland minister and the Catholic priest in the town I grew up in for assemblies. It didn't turn me religious, but I agree it does seem a little ridiculous that it's essentially forced upon children in state schools. I'm fairly certain RE is compulsory until standard grade (or whatever they call that these days) in Scotland as well, though at my school that was learning about religions and philosophy rather than forced praying or any suggestion that we should believe anything the faiths we studied believed in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

die hard doonhamer Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I took my 2 to Palmerston for the first time over the Christmas holidays. Alice was insistent that she was wearing her brother's old kit... Full kit, that is. Josh has now been to a few games, while that was Alice's first. They've both asked to go back, so they're well on the road to indoctrination 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmothecat2 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Both my RE teachers were ministers and bristled every time we asked if we could learn about sikhs or hindus for a change instead of christianityWe had one former minister who I'm almost certain didn't actually believe in God, the other I'm fairly certain was agnostic. We did Christianity but other stuff as well. For standard grade we did Islam and the challenge Darwinism posed to religion, which led to us reading Richard Dawkins etc. In saying that there was one module in either higher or advanced higher which was on miracles, which the teacher taught in a way that made it fairly clear she didn't believe stigmata etc was anything other than rubbish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
