He returned back to the UK for a couple of weeks for work and said GF went to collect child from village in North. Collected mother as well to assist child with transition period and settling. Again, no problem for this adonis bodied friend of mine.

One week later child and grandparent are booked to return to village because in words of GF:

"I scare take care all time coz when she no see mama she velly cly. If she velly cly, I no know what do and I sad for her"

Now my friend knows that it is usual for children in TL not to be raised by their parent(s) but, it seems very strange to him that given the opportunity and even the offer of his full support and a nanny, if needed, that they can abdicate the responsibility so casually.

Maybe its the confusion of western values etc. but my friend really cant get his head round this particular scenario. It seems just a tad selfish and mercenary.

Comments from you guys on this subject would really be appreciated.

Nanny and babysitters.

Are there any reputable agencies in Patong/Kamalala and if not what are your suggestions for employing the above as, apart from sister, gf knows very few people in area.

She does NOT want mama living with us Nicke!! She was horrified at the suggestion.5555555

How do I go about checking them out and what are approximate costs.

Dennis not sure what you are trying to do but why would you start 1 thread saying about your g/f bringing her mother back with her and making out she cannot cope without her and then you start another thread about how she was horrified when you mentioned her mother coming to stay with you to look after the child.
The only reason i can make out for you to make so many contradicting threads is to raise you post count as i have said before, Tarzan spotted what you were doing and you both had a rather heated debate about it i am now begining to think he was right with his comments.
