Veronica Sweeney-Bird is one such mother who wishes more than anything that her two little girls were having a more relaxed, stable childhood. Instead, every other Thursday, she drops one off at nursery and one at primary school, full of foreboding as she kisses them goodbye. A week-on, week-off shared care arrangement with her ex-husband is the high price Veronica has to pay for her broken marriage. And two years on from the split, she still struggles to cope with the moment she says goodbye to her girls for seven long days.
Wished mroe than anything? OK.... she can give 100% custody to the dad, problem.. she has her wish.. kids dont have to move

Really? Just ... fuck ...
Story reads to me something like: parents split, custody is shared in a reasonable adult manner even though parents sad, reporter tries to beat up something that doesn't exist.
I suppose aim has been achieved because we've all looked and are now talking about it. But other than that I'm atill trying to find a point to the article.

That's it really. It might sound to you and I like a haircut and she's being ott but the first thing I thought of was a guy I know who told his ex when they were together how much he was looking forward to giving the kid his first beer and showing him how to cook a steak on the BBQ like his dad did. They split up and she hooked up with someone else and made sure the new guy did those things and her ex found out , you've got to wonder about the petty spiteful mentality behind that kind of behaviour but I only know his side of the story and I remember he was gutted about it.

Nice to see the article being ripped apart in the comments section. Honestly, I don't know why NZH and Stuff even bother these days. Not a day goes by there is some sort of "article" outlining some poor sod's hard luck story or some imagined slight. Harden up people!!

Christ, they are damn lucky with what AirNZ offered despite being at no fault whatsoever. I just tried flying for a short weekend in Europe to catch the last of the snow and had my board and gear arrive a day after I did, totally screwing my plans. That was the airline/baggage handlers fault yet I wasn't even offered a refund on the baggage charge.

Thats gold . The comments are hilarious, I doubt the whingers in the article expected the response they got.

My ex and I are still great friends and we put our boys first in everything we do. I see them multiple times a week and if something comes up and i can't have them for the weekend or vice versa we talk about it like adults. She remarried a great bloke who treats them as his own and I'm engaged to a lady ( admittedly from the Hutt
) who does exactly the same. As a result of this my boys ( little spoilt fuckers ) basically have four sets of grandparents who dote on them too!!!!It's not that fucken hard to put aside petty differences for the sake of kids.

There's photos of the stranded passengers on the front page of the paper today.
One of them has a child with him, its name is Eleven. -

Dicks. (Seriously, if you have a condition or injury that requires meds and you don't have at least one dose in your purse or pocket while travelling, you are a fucking idiot. Ditto to the person without even an eftpos card, and the couple travelling without baby stuff for the baby.
The way some of these people are carrying on :WE WERE LEFT HUNGRY AND CONFUSED, it was like they were fucking wandering in the desert or something after a plane crash. Not in a busy airport where staff were scrambling to sort multiple flights and thousands of passengers.

It's almost as if there isn't a great big fucking food court in the middle of Wellington Airport.
That harsh indoor airport air conditioned environment...
They're even taking the photo in the food court LOL! Some people, unless Air NZ has Moses on staff I don't think there is any way to part fog

Mrs Jegga works at the airport, most people are being good about it. They don't make for good click bait so their side isn't getting in the news.
It's fake news, nothing to see here.....

Apparently a couple of all whites can't get back in time to play in the weekend so they'll be taking a financial hit .
Poor old Eleven has every right to be pissed though
