Guest guest Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Dear All, (I am not a native speaker of English, please do forgive me in advance for any mistakes I may make) I have been a member of this groups since October and have benefitted a lot from the comments made. Although I haven't posted anything after my introduction mail, I have read almost every message posted on the forums. May I share with you one of my observations about the group. Most of the members of the group (at least those who seem to write) are women- step or natural mothers and even grandmothers. I have seen only a few messages posted by men. That's understandable to some extent, I guess. What surprises me is that you (ladies, I mean) hardly ever mention your partners when talking about your problems. It is as if you are living on your own and having to deal with all these problems by yourselves. Maybe it is because of the large number of single-mom families (is this the correct expression?) in the group. If this is not the case, you seem to get little help from your partners, which as I said is surprising at least for me. Maybe I am making an incorrect "reading" of the messages posted. Maybe it is because I am from an entirely different country and culture. I just wanted to share my observation with you. Best wishes Oguz Isik Ankara/Turkey Father to a 7-1/2-to-be-boy-in-April (this is what my son says when asked his age) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
