You are taking it all too seriously. A typical single female parent you think the whole world is against you, well the reality is some people just don't like other people and the way they live. I cannot abide kids especially those who have been bred from disfunctional families. And yes I would not blink at throwing the first stone and where little obnoxous brats are concerned I would make it a big rock as some of these chilren really should not have evolved from the primordial soup from where they were spawned. To answer your question I have three grown up children (one of each). They were brats as kids, obnoxious as teenagers, and now ungrateful adults. Of course I love them dearly, but they are still money grabbing, self centered leeches. So I am busy spending their inheritance because guess what, I was exactly the same as them.
