HUGE blanche. Well done for recognising that all was not well in your world - its so hard to "admit" that you are not coping with life - with the stigma of depression being so rife and societies expectations that we should be able to do EVERYTHING. I went on AD's for the first time after I had Nathan. He was about 7mths old. I had known in myself that I wasn't ok... I kept saying that "when this happens" or "when Nathan starts sleeping through" or "when this settles down" everything will be ok.... except nothing changed. It was when I completely lost it with Laura - screaming at her, nathan screaming in his cot, and me locking myself in the bathroom, sobbing on the floor, that I knew I had to do something. One day at time darlin...
Your very welcome Blanche....anytime...im always here *Hugs*
Today im grieving the loss of my dear Uncle...he pased away 5 years today and each year is never any easier.
Jasmine is in the middle of locking chelsea in the cupboard (well not locking but holding the doors shut), Chels is loving it...and Jas is laughing at her.
I have their check up on the 18th....its going to be interesting to see the size differences!!
*hugs* Kim and Blanche... Blanche i sent you a message on msn.
i think our kids being the age they are is very very challenging, and our roles as mothers and wives involve a lot of self-doubt, self-criticism and guilt, but that being said there are a lot of good times there too...it goes back to raising children being a community job, and a lot of the time mothers are all alone with their kids..waiting for outside adult interaction.
it is a hard job, but we must remember to look after ourselves or we're no good to anyone. easier said than done, i know
Thought I would randomly drop in to your thread.....hope thats ok??
I have a nearly 2 year old boy and was wanting to share info with other mums with kids around the same age...I also have a nearly 1 year old but he is an easy baby compared with master 2!!!!
hi nicola - of course its ok... What date is Zander's birthday?
This two year old business is challenging isn't it - fraught with boundary testing constantly - and moments of utter adorableness. Survival techinque I think! I have a nearly 13 year old dd (you think two is bad - wait til adolescence arrives!), 10 year ds and nearly 2 (on 29th of this month) ds.
i look after a little girl on Thursday who is a month younger then Aston, and god she reminds me of my dd at the same age - even now at fast approaching two.
hi all! had nuch scan today all is good bub s measuring 13w4d so it seems my original dates were correct - see V I DID keep a good record for one month! lol MS seems to have subsided and I am beginning to feel better -still feel blobby though. Just changed my ticker is about week further now!
got some great 3D pics too will post when I get a chance.
Hey just thought I'd put this out there - you know my "job" well we have our biggest week of the year coming up and was wondering if anyone (of course V already has volunteered) wants to earn some free stuff collecting some orders for me. I can courier to you at really good rates and I would pay postage. Please feel free to say no we are all friends and I wouldn't take offence.
