HEY

[Early Kids]

Tali, RE MIL, I was talking to my mum last night, and even though she said that no-one will ever be good enough for her children, she said she did like Nigel (my ex), until recently, and she also likes my Bro's GF. I think it really depends on who your are as a person. If you are a nicer person in general, then it'll be easier to be a nice MIL!

Cate, it would be nice just to have some male company. just make sure you are both on the same level, you don't want to get hurt!

Hugs for all!

[Early Kids]

Sally; What an effhead!!! What a horrible excuse for a person! Oh, you are so much better off with out him darling!! You are a beautiful strong woman and you will find someone that will make you and Brendan happy and safe! For the time being you can give all your attention to your beautiful little boy!!!

Hi Lindsay! Welcome. How exciting another lill baby to add to your family! So your thinking blue huh? Are you going to find out the sex when you can or are you going to leave it as a surprise??

Tali: Bit of a bummer that the pics didn't turn out that great for the price that they wanted you to pay! A friend of mine had pics of her 4mth old daughter done and they were fantastic! Soooo adorable! I guess it just depends on the photographer and the company. You should have told the girl at the counter too bad and that you could have done a better job yourself and then seen how "HAPPY" she got...hahahaha...love to stir!

Well I just realised after that post that I have missed out on sooooo much since I have been gone. Wow....there are some horrible ppl out there!!! I just don't understand ppl sometimes. How dare they put their opinions out there with out considering other ppls feelings. That really gets me mad! What works for them doesn't necesarily work for others and vice versa! Girls, how you have chose to live YOUR life has nothing to do with other ppl and how they choose to live theirs. You don't see us "YOUNG" mums and "YOUNG" mums to be knocking "OLDER" mums and saying "God.....don't yoou think you should have started ALOT younger than 34??? Your positivly a dinosour!!!" FAROUT!!! I'm *!$$ED!!! I wish ppl would get a life and stop criticising others on the way they choose to live!

Pretty sure there is some wrong spelling in that post...oops!

PMSL rustygirl. Well put

[Early Kids]

lol i just laugh at them nowadays.... If they have nothing better to do than frown down at me then they are low lifes. I'm enjoying my time as a mummy and Brendan is happy, i'm now happy and that is all that matters.

[New Dawn]

mind you at the playgroup I go to, there was a lady who all last year was carrying on allllll the time as she couldnt fall pg with her 2nd baby as she and her hubby were 43 and I have to say that I did think to myself well why did you start earlier as they had been together for 20yrs before they had there 1st. as they wanted to travel Aust but they didnt save any money are now on the dole and have a commission home and couldnt afford IVF. She wasnt happy when I had Kai or when 2 of the other girls fell pg without trying too hard. but what does she expect its not our fault we started young and fall easier ( not that I do we take ages to fall) but lucky for them she did fall pg but at first the docs thought she was starting the change. But still now when she gets to playgroup she looks so tied I really dont think I could have a baby at 43 I have enough trouble keeping up with them now lol.

[Early Kids]

Us youngin's lol, have so much going for us. There are so many more percs to having kids younger. my mum is only 44 now, and she is enjoying being a grandma, she has all the energy she needs to work and still come home for cuddles with B. When I am my mum's age not only will I be living my own life (my bros and I have our own lives now) i will still be young enough to go out with my 24 yr, that if he wants too, lol. i will also be young enough to enjoy grandkids, if he's giving me some I don't even want to think where i would be without Brendan, he is the BEST decision I have ever made!!

[New Dawn]

I remember when I went to primary school I used to think my mum was the oldest person there because she had me at 30 mind you I didnt take into account that I was number 5 lol, but now kids are going to school with mums who you dont know if it nana or not. Once when DS was younger under 3 as at the time he was my only child anyway mum took him to a shop and someone asked how old her son was it made mums day lol but when she said that it was her grandson the lady said It just so hard to tell these days so she likes to stick to the side of coursion (sp?) and assume its the mother as you could really upset some if you said grandma and you had it wrong!!

[Early Kids]

the lady said It just so hard to tell these days so she likes to stick to the side of coursion (sp?) and assume its the mother as you could really upset some if you said grandma and you had it wrong!!

hehe so true... My mum and I get that. She'll be carrying Brendan, or pushing the pram so it's assumed she's the mum Makes her feels young again... lol. We also get mistaken for sisters. Which is funny. my mum and I are easy going and just laugh it off. Makes mum feels young again! lol, I repeated myself... hmmm... time for a nap.

[katnap]

Wow, i cant keep up with you ladies!!

not much happening here, dp's working crappier hours, (he's studying at uni -- biomedical science, and works at a licquor store for evenings/nights) he had the weekend off, but ws sick that was our last weekend off for the next 8 weekends

im so tired, for no reason at all... And no babies here for the next 5 years, until DP finsihes uni and med school, we want to be sorted and DP to be a qualified DR before we haave our next one... my parents have told me i should have gotten them all out of the way now, but i want to wait until we are sorted! and i want to go back to uni in the next few years!! You girls get told off for having them early, im getting told off for not finishing my family now lol

[The[cookie]Doctor]

I'm thinking of doing the same Kat... DF will be 21 when jellybean comes along and then hopes to go back to uni finish his degree and get into a job before o have the next one. I'd really like to hhave two close together and then wait for more, but i guess jellybean will have his bubby aunts to play with (mums twins due 12/02), and his second cousins (my cousins, ages 2, 2 and 1!).

I have loved having 3yr gaps with my lot and I am really looking forward to have our last in 4 yrs that the joy of having children young you get to choose when you have your kids, plus you have the time. there are so many mums at playgroups who are having three in 3yrs as they dont have time on there side and then they are run raggerd and look so tied all the time plus they dont really get to enjoy their babies. But as I alway say each to there own if your happy then do what feels right for you.

[katnap]

i am a part time (well, almost full time) to my nephews who are 4 and 2, their mum cant cope with them most f the time, and has "breaks" (disappears) when Annika was born Xavier was only 3, and Deacon had just turned 2... its hard!! but if it means they are more adjusted because of it, i will be happy (and have lots of good karma on my side :-D

[Early Kids]

the joy of having children young you get to choose when you have your kids .... so true!!


I would've liked to have a 18 month- 2yr gap. Between the first two... not too sure how many I want :P I guess I will have to find someone who wants a made family... lol... i live in high hopes!!
