Thanks all for your support by the way ! Nice when someone is on your side ...

[emmie]

obviously not,

[smurfchops]

Emmie I know what you are saying but we as outsiders know the score, her parents are completely at fault, far too soft, typical teenager yes, but needs guidance. Glad she isnt mine, I bet she is a right handful. Perhaps on the other hand they will be glad to see the back of her ...

[emmie]

its the parents duty to love and cherish her, and to her help in difficult times, not to mention guide her, if they stamp on this love, infatuation, call it what you will, she may well just get huffy and go and marry him now.

[smurfchops]

Unfortunately if she marries him thats another one milking our benefit system, and then he will,leave her but will be able to stay cos he has a child !

[emmie]

that would be her problem, and i would hope that the parents would step in if she is landed with children and no partner, and its not to say that it won't work between them

[emmie]

and not all single mums end up on benefits.

Divorced from a member of a Muslim family she might not get the option of retaining custody of her children.

[emmie]

that is what would concern me, however if they live here, that would be a different matter surely.

[emmie]

what?

[BlueToffee]

Stupid girl, stupid parents, and, for what it's worth, I agree with smurfchops too!

[emmie]

from 2002
seems she isn't alone, cites any number of young girls smitten with a Turkish boy.

Being a waiter in Marmaris is a seasonal job. From my observations, they spend the winter getting pi55ed. If they get cracking now they coyld have a baby by christmas and therefore a council flat. They even sell Efes in Wetherspoons so he will feel at home here.

[emmie]

i have reiterated that is an incorrect spelling, and i thought that as well, The post is about the parents responsibility, and if they stamp their feet and say no way, absolutely not, then the chances she will take herself off and estrange herself from them, would that make more sense?

[emmie]

why,

[emmie]

so far you have come up with no answer that makes any sense, no input as to what you would do, just taking the proverbial as per usual

[murraymints]

If she were mine I'd take her toys away....never heard the like..what utterly irresponsible parenting...
