Evening everyone:D

Just watched Wanted with Angelina and James McAvoy.............bit wierd but OK I guess...................now DS has ventured from his cave and decided he wants to watch it too........so I am sitting with it on again:rolleyes:

Buffy I know exactly how you feel Hun, just try to do a bit at a time, how long will it take you to finish do you think?

Congratulations Nanna Sam:beer: .........I was only 20 when I had DS1 and had a house and mortgage at 19. Having my teenage years now:rotfl:

Oh that film got on my nerves......did you enjoy ghost town or whatever it was called with Ricky Gervais.....

I did a similar thing Lou - went through teenage years at about 34:D

i agree with you sammy. i totally dropped out of education to bring up my son at 16, whom most of you know also happened to be born with downs syndrome, and i think for many years someone has been waiting for me to fall flat on my face as i have had no family to help me what so ever never ever has my mum even baby sat for even an hour.
now at the grand old age of 32 i am juggling the not so little apple of my eye his sister a dog full time college, work, essays, and i am just waiting to see if i get an interview and a place at university.
but i was born to be a mum and i have done a blimmin ok job at it too.

some of us are born to be mothers and i think a 16 yr old can be as good a mother as a 40 yr old if its what you want and it makes you happy so bleedin what!
good luck to her!

p.s sorry for the teenage mum thing rant.

I think some people aim to be parents too Sammy, my cousin was the same. She got pregnant by accident at 18 (she was on the pill :eek:!), and now she's 22, got two lovely kids and will be going back to work part-time and mobile - hair dressing is so flexible, she can work it around any little ones.

Spudly.....DD1 gone out now (probably to tell OH that I am not going to chop his willy off).

I have done a bit of thinking and I hope i don't upset anyone with this but.....

I am quite happy plodding through my life and I only ever want my children to be happy. I get quite cross when I see parents stressing over children and their schooling, exams and results etc but that kind of thing just doesn't bother me....maybe I should have been more strict and made my kids study harder - but it didn't do me any good......

I have come to the conclusion that DD1 was born to be a mum, she has been a second mum to Chloe and although she is a good hairdresser I think she wants to be a mum....if that makes her happy then I am happy.....(I have already been planning when grandchild can stop over the night.....how sad am I)

I find it hard to comprehend that someone like me who was brought up in almost solitary confinement has ended up with four children of her own, married to someone who has three other siblings, each with 3 and 4 children of their own....It is a massive family with 13 grandchildren and now a great grandchild on the way....

Sammy you sound very much like me.

Neither of my kids are the sharpest tools in the toolbox, they arent going to be brain surgeons or rocket scientists. But do you know what, they are lovely kids with great manners (most of the time :rolleyes: )

I'd much rather my kids were nice people and not that academic, that the brainiest kids but horrible. Does that make sense

I'd love a large family like you have now, but at the moment there is just me, DH and our 2 kids. That's it, no parents, uncles , Aunts or cousins etc. Christmas is cheap, and very quiet :rolleyes:
