Better Parenting with Kevin Myers

Dear Kevin,

I'm a single mother, trying to get back into the working world. The children's allowance is a help but I find myself struggling at times. Crèches are just so expensive and let's just say that my ex is not in the least bit helpful.

Any advice?

Pamela D.


Dear Pamela,

I feel your pain, I really do. I myself was a single mother for a period in the sixties. Free love didn't turn out to be as free as I thought it was. All I can say is that you shouldn't be afraid to ask your family or friends for help and support whenever you need it. Not necessarily monetary support but you get enough of that from the State don't you? Sponger. Set yourself up in a nice little council house have you? You and your little bastard.

What? Did that offend you? Well tough. It's a proper word. I can say it as often as I like. Bastard. Bastard. Bastard. Bastard. Bastard. Bastard. Bastard. Bastard. Bastard. Bastard. Bastard. Bastard. Bastard. Bastard. Bastard. Bastard. Bastard. Bastard. Bastard. Bastard. Bastard. Bastard. Bastard. Bastard. Bastard. Bastard. Bastard. Bastard. Bastard. Bastard. Bastard. Bastard. Bastard. Bastard. Bastard. Bastard. Bastard. Bastard. Bastard.
BASTARD. BASTARD. BASTARD. BASTARD. BASTARD. BASTARD. BASTARD. BASTARD. BASTARD. BASTARD. BASTARD. BASTARD. BASTARD. BASTARD. BASTARD. BASTARD. BASTARD. BASTARD. BASTARD. BASTARD. BASTARD. BASTARD. BASTARD. BASTARD. BASTARD!
