Sall,
As I child, I enjoyed my own company much more than other kids, and tbh, my Joe is much the same. Freya is more like me now, outgoing, chatty etc. All kids are different-Bea is beautiful and sounds dead clever. Don't worry. (but I know you will, we're mum's after all!)
Did you read about me stressing about Joe? His biting of his nails, wiping his face obsessively etc? I was getting really upset about it, ready to pull him out of nursery etc, then everyone convinced me it was 'normal' for kids to do that-since I've stopped stressing it's calmed waaaaay down. Now it's just his eyes I need to worry about, lolEmpty pockets never held anyone back, only empty heads and empty hearts can do that -Peale0 -
I've text Tig and she's going to have the tops for LittleLegs-sorry!Empty pockets never held anyone back, only empty heads and empty hearts can do that -Peale0

Bun
Bea went through a stage of biting her nails really badly, she still does it now and then and its when she is anxious/nervous I think. Whats up with Joe's eyes?
No probs about the topsI'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....

I remember stressing one night because DS said noone played with him at nursery - fretted and worked out how we could cope with one wage etc because I couldn't possibly leave him there... next day he didn't want to go home! and seemed to have forgotten about the previous days traumas, I try not to worry so much now...Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

That's the "working mother's guilt trip". My mother had it with me. Of course hers was justified as I've turned into a mad axe-wielding fruitcake (with nuts, but gluten-free)."Follow the money!" - Deepthroat (AKA William Mark Felt Sr - Associate Director of the FBI)

have you still got that axe?!!
If I stayed at home I'd no doubt have a whole other set of worries, no one explains what a lot there is too worry about. they tell you you'll never have enough money again or sleep but not the worrying! :eek:Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Absolutely. Used it to cut a weed that my next-door neighbour kindly explained was called a "sycamore".
