Itty-Bitty Committee
sorry I wasn't writing about your friends as "certain women" just women in general who end up marrying the wrong guy. too bad and it is a good thing their kids are the best thing that happened because unfortunately that is often not the case and I never said anything about "hating" the kids.— December 28, 2010 8 p.m.

women need to take time to really get to know men so they can find out that they are cheaters or brutes before they let them impregnate them or make the choice (wisely) like barb to not have kids at all. it is so sad when certain women have kids with men they end up hating. and resenting the kids who end up looking just like daddy and are a daily reminder in the face.— December 23, 2010 6:02 p.m.

sending you sincere best wishes at this difficult time Barb.— February 6, 2009 10:20 a.m.

It's not a matter of right or wrong, it's about common decency. Analogy: a friend or acquaintace's mother passes away at a young age due to some awful disease like breast cancer. The deceased did not affect your day to day life though it is compassionate behavior to send condolences or express sympathy. p.s. I do not have an issue with Barb just trying to let her know, hey in the bigger scheme of life with daily financial and emotional struggles and the world full of tension signing your name to a card is the "small stuff" - don't sweat it, save your sweat for the gym!— February 5, 2009 2:33 p.m.

Barb, I read your column and enjoy it but in this case you are sadly mistaken. It was no sweat off your back to have your name signed to a fruit basket to at the least acknowledge your grandfather's passing. As we age and grow we should get a little wisdom and realize the whole wide world is not only all about me, me, me. Ah, I can hear you now, "but my world is"! The bottom line is this man is where your mom came from and if she wasn't here you wouldn't be and for that reason alone deserves a little respect and sympathy.— February 5, 2009 10:44 a.m.
