MSE Parent Club - Part 2

Dormouse

Oh don't start talking about age, guys! I've just turned 33 this week and quite frankly would rather forget all about it.

Seriously, I feel 23... don't look it though! :rotfl: You know how when you were in your early 20s you used to think how fat and horrible you looked, and now you look at the old pics thinking you looked amazing! Oh well, I guess when I'm 43 I'll look at my photos now and think how fab I looked! :rotfl:

Have been with DH 13 years so that's pretty scary too, LOL! It all sounds so grown-up... :eek:

I've had a search -- and got myself nice and confused!!

Has anyone got any recommendations for a sling/carrier that i'm able to feed Violet in, leaving me hands free and able to do stuff.

I've been looking at this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=290271982287 - Freedom Murrons Pouch, on ebay. Anyone have any experience of it?

And ages - I'm 37 and still feel about 24. OH is younger than me (29) - but i think he's an old fart compared to me.

But, I was in Asda this week with Violet, and my little sister (21). The lady on the til said to Sis, 'who's this in the car seat, your little sister?' How Rude!! (I suppose I am just about old enough to be her mum - but i'm sure I don't look it!, and in my defence, she doesn't look 21 when she's not tarted up for a night out :rolleyes: )

It looks like my babasling which I bought from TKMaxx. I found it very awkward to get LO in and out of it let alone feeding him in it. I got on much better with babybjorn as a carrier but again not for feeding although it says on the instructions that you can.

My LO's reflux is back :eek: poor thing, so painful for him. We'll have to up the dose again

Morning all. Who was it that mentioned not being able to go to toddler group with conjunctivitis? I woke up yesterday with a sore, red sticky eye that really hurts when the light gets on it. This morning it seems just as bad, if not worse. Was hoping for a day or two off school but having googled it, it seems the advice is still to go. I'm sure that's not what they used to say!

hmm not sure, I think they expect teacher's to be sensible enough to not keep touching it :rotfl:

I had DD1 when I was 20 and she is always being mistaken for Ruby's mummy:eek: shes 15 now and people are quite shocked when she tells them she is her sister! Someone also asked OH if Ruby was his granddaughter - he was not happy - hes 43 so I supposed hes classed as an older dad

Everyone always stopped me and my sister when we were up the town and told her that her baby was cute, even though she was mine !!!! and even if it was me pushing the pram !!!
I think it was cuz she was older than me, but I was 20 not a kid !!!
