I know what you mean Niamh, it's because we're women!

I always say to my hubby, "if you should ever meet anyone else, please always put our girls first"

I ask this of him because i also don't understand how as a parent you can turn your back on your kids regardless of their ages.

And with me being on the receiving end, i know how devastating it is not to have a parent in my corner.
