Are you going on a family holiday with the children this year ? then why not consider a McCann style 'family' holiday...

10am - put your children in 'the kids club', while you go for a walk
3.30pm - put your children in 'the kids club' - while you go to the pool
5.30pm - let your children eat in (you guessed it) 'the kids club'
6pm - go to play tennis
7pm - put the kids to bed and get ready to wine and dine
8pm - knock back a bottle of wine
8.35pm - out with your mates while the kids are in bed crying alone.
9.05pm - you better check the kids before starters arrives
10pm - you better check the kids again...

Would you go on a McCann style 'family child neglectors' holiday ?
And just in case you think this is a sick joke, read the reality... its the same: http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2008/apr/11/madeleinemccann
Additional question: while on holiday for a week walking, jogging, playing tennis etc how many hours in total did Gerry actually see his children on his FAMILY holiday last May ?
 
Even if Madeline had not disappeared, there's no getting away from the fact that at 3 years of age she was left in charge of her infant siblings - how can that be right?
 
How have you ever managed to get through life being so judgemental, bitter and condescending.

God help you if you ever fall off that pious little perch of yours.


amy............... Isn't that what I have just said. What are you on about,?

edit.........
LOL! I see you have removed it now.
 
I take your good point.
I went to Portugal last August, when the McCanns were still there.
I took wife and two children.
Wife and I went out to restaurants.... but our two kids went with us.
Wife and I went everywhere...... with our two little kids.
Wife and I went to the beach...... our kids came with us.
Wife and I stayed in a hotel room and kids stayed in the adjacent room, connecting door OPENED.
Wife and I enjoyed a great holiday....and so did our two kids.
Wife and I cannot have a good time unless our two little kids are with us.
 
Either you have no kids or you are the 'perfect' parent. The former I would guess at. I have a kid, I like my own space, and especially on Holiday. A mental break is as much needed as physcial. Not saying I would play it like they did, but millions do and the only difference is the weirdo that took her is rare, hence the safety of the other millions. Easy to be wise after the event. But surely even you with your hatred of the Mc canns must see that if they had stayed with Maddie 24/7 the pervert would have got a 'kid' somehow, it just would not have been her.
 
why didn't they just leave the kids at home?

i take my boys on holiday and strangely we go to the pool together, we eat together, we shop together ..... in fact we spend our time together

i can't imagine how the mccann holiday can be described as a family holiday ...... a holiday for mum and dad and more paid child care for the kids......shame
 
nope.. I can understand maybe the kids club for an hour or so every few days.. (mainly so my daughter doesn't get stuck with boring mum and dad 24/7) but I am pretty selfish when it comes to her, and I would want her with us, so we could do things altogether ...you know.. as a FAMILY!!!

hey pdr seems like RTF missed his number one spot? lol!! x

hey red, why aren't you in my contacts anymore ;-( ??


well said seven ... 'memories are made of this' !!!!!!xxx

RTF no hun i haven't run out of anything.. nor have i 'lost' anything ...;)
 
i honestly still cant believe the people who are sticking up for the mccanns, if they wanted a relaxing,indulgent holiday without the hassle of their kids then they shouldn't have had any..being a parent is a 24 hour job, not just when you can be bothered, they could have at least have had the decency to make sure their kids were properly cared for before they enjoyed their nights out, but no, the poor mccanns has the cheek to check on their poor kids whenever they could be bothered putting their wine glass down and getting off their arse to do so...due to their negligence Maddie was taken(still to be proven) by someone..if she hadn't been left alone,they wouldn't have had the opportunity to do so...still as long as they enjoyed their holiday eh..and all the pro mccanns spare a thought for the real victim in this..that's right her name is..MADELINE..just in case you forgot
 
If they had wanted a 'swinging' holiday, then they should have left their kids with someone who cared! I'm surprised they saw them at all during their 'great holiday'! They have no excuses, they have shown themselves to be what they truly are and whether they like it or not are fully responsible for what has happened.. but I doubt they will ever see that because they are too up themselves to ever consider that, especially Madeleine, the abandoned, exploited, forgotten one...

I am glad my kids still talk about 'our' holidays, that's what life is about.. happy memories...


Edit: RTF- What is your problem and why are you attacking people for their honest opinion? Have you been following the McCann case? You need to get a reality check. Decent people do not condone child neglect!
 
Not if it was the only holiday left!!


** Daniella - 'People need to look at their own lives before judging'.

Hmmm OK then:

1) Have i ever left either of my small children ALONE so that i can selfishly go out for dinner friends? Answer - NO

2) Would i ever leave my small children ALONE and vulnerable to many types of dangers? Answer - NO

3) Does having children mean that you put their safety AND needs ABOVE and beyond your own? Answer - YES

I am definitely NOT whiter than white EXCEPT where it concerns my children. I never have nor ever would intentionally put them in danger. They are my responsibility and they rely on ME to look after them.

The McCanns failed in the most BASIC of care AND duty towards their own children - a fact which they have admitted! and a little girl has now been missing for nearly 1year.

You play with fire, you get burned!!
 
I dont think anyone can judge anyone. I think what they did was wrong but people need to take a look at thier own lives first.
 
Your link shows very little resemblance to your version of accounts example 6.0pm. Only Gerry goes to play tennis. Kate stays with the children. 8.35. where does it say "while the kids are in bed crying alone" ???? You forgot to mention that they checked the kids at 9.30pm At least if you supply a link do NOT add your own words to it to mislead us here. As usual may I say to you "GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT"
 
I know
It's silly

There was even a hotel babysitter available
Why would you not just use it!

They may have not been far away, but if you can't see the kids from where you are, then they're not safe

Good question =P
 
I'd rather keep a close eye on my kids if it's all the same,thanks..I don't leave mine.
 
This baiting might be acceptable if their child had been found. I Would NEVER poke an injured man in the eye. There is a caballe of evil on this site that will see that anyone who dissaproves of this persons comment will be struck with negative ticks in abundance.
