    just read this thread.

    hi kitty if you havent already please come and join us on the pregnancy club ix.
    there you can ask any question you want, have a giggle and be as daft as you want.

    ps
    it would be interesting to see how much time this Grace takes off should she have a baby through a surrogate or is the surrogate also going to be the childminder??

    I am currently setting up a business, so no I wouldn't expect someone to pay me to stay at home. My husband and I are financially secure and would never become scroungers.

    As it happens, my husband and I are also financially secure, but far more important to me is that we are emotionally secure. You managed to get your husband away from his "limpet of a girlfriend" then did you?

    You know grace, if you want to be a member of a these forums (and for the life of me I can't think why since you seem so very negative about everything), you really should stop pushing your wealth down everyone's throat. Money truly isn't the be all and end all - you just sound extremely immature and ignorant - it's no wonder you rub everyone up the wrong way. Perhaps it would be a good idea to apologise for your rudeness and start again with a more helpful attitude.

    Now, now. Grace is entitled to her wealth and to show it off. After all, when she dies her wealth will remember her fondly. He nice porche will mourn for her. Her lovely friends (and the nanny's no doubt) will miss her.

    Nobody else will, but at least she can say that she was rich and happy. After all she MUST be happy, she keeps trying to tell us all that her life is perfect.

    I for one, believe every single word she says, why would she lie? She wants for nothing (well, maybe a husband who can stay away from limpet girlfriends, a baby to pass on to a nanny, to pay for all her own medical bills - prozac probably, and to spend night after night letting everyone know how perfect her life is).

    Lets all try to be more like Grace! The NHS might struggle though, all those head from !!!! removal operations, but hey ho.

    She didn't take maternity leave, because she never worked, as her husband provides for her, therefore she is not a scrounger. She is sat by me now and is laughing at the fact you are all so obviously jealous that we can afford better things than you can.

    You might be able to buy the finer things in life but clearly you can't buy class.
    And no. Not jealous. Not of someone with an attitude like you. If you honestly think money and having a nanny gives someone a fantastic life you are sorely mistaken. Does money tell you it loves you? Does money come looking for you for comfort when they are sad and upset?
    A parent's responsibility is not just to provide the material things in life but EMOTIONAL. If you can't grasp that then it's probably better if you don't have kids.

    Just goes to show that perhaps the best think to gain in pregnancy is a thick skin because, both in pregnancy and as a mother you are always going to be a bad mother in someones eyes, whether you go to work or stay at home, breast or bottle, its never going to be right.

    The limpet went a couple months ago, like he said she wasn't good enough for him, and was just someone to amuse him until I came back! Someone made a comment about children being passed from nanny to nanny, but thats ridiculous, my parents employed a nanny when they had my brother 32 years ago, she was nanny to all 5 of us, and still works for my parents now as a sort of housekeeper/nanny for the twins when they are home from school. Even though she is staff we think of her as a member of the family.

    I thanked Grace by mistake - bring back the remove thanks button!

    Grace - I just can't believe that in January you are posting that ur husband has a girlfriend and now you are planning to go thru surrogacy :confused:. Just a couple of months ago he was in bed with someone else - you are crazy to even take him back after he's been with another woman.
    And even crazier to think about having a child - how do u know he won't go back to her?!
    Not exactly the best environment to bring a child into - but then I guess the nanny will be there to provide the emotional support that you and your husband can't while you are out earning your millions and working halfway around the world.
    I would love to see you getting a nanny in this day and age that stays with you for 32 years - it might have happened 30 years ago but I doubt very much it will happen nowadays.

    We weren't toghether for 4 years, we were in different countries and both of us had relationships with other people. Trust me, he won't be going back to her, they were together a matter of weeks. Our situation is far better than alot of peoples who have children, we are married, own our house and other properties and have extensive savings, much better than a teenage parent on a council estate.
