Here's gracie giving up work to look after her dogs, back in Feb.

I can't work out if hubby was back on the scene or not, or she was 'approved' for adoption at this point.

Are you saying there is something wrong with employing a nanny? The majority of people I know were practically brought up by nannies, so their parents could give them a fantastic life.

I truthfully think that this woman posts to annoy people, I think that she started of genuine and then turned........to being woe is me!!!!
I think that she is telling a lot of porkies!!!!!
And that she lives in an imaginary world, I also think that she truely believes what she says and that she is right, these are my personal opinions, I think that she may have a mental health problem (but im not a doctor), and that she needs help!......if im wrong im sorry.
A lot of her posts have left me very very



OP congrats!!!!!!:j

Here she is worried about her MOV !!.

When AVON calls it might just be Gracie.

So Grace, you married this man 8 years ago, split up after 4 years, went your separate ways, met other people and got back together about 2 months ago?

In the space of that 2 months you have considered adoption then changed your minds & arranged a surrogate. Started an Avon round & are setting up your own business.

Meanwhile your oh so successful husband has ditched the girlfriend & has been away on business alot.

I make no wonder you ditched the idea of adoption, I can't believe any sensible person would place a child in the care of either of you! I'm surprised a surrogate would hand over a child either.

Neither you or you partner appear to be the kind of people who should bring up a child (perhaps that's why you think a nanny is such a must?)

Children are forever, and deserve to be loved, nurtured and cared for. They deserve a "real" relationship with their parents. What they don't need is a full time Nanny & 10 minutes with Mum & Dad when they see fit to take time out of their busy schedules, trips "home" from boarding school to see Nanny (and if they're lucky check in with Mum & Dad) & fancy holidays abroad.

I think you and your husband should take a long hard look at why you want a child, and ask yourselves if either of you has the time & energy child rearing necessitates. Personally, you come across as entirely too self centered and immature to be even considering parenthood, let alone criticising others.

Sorry i think we have a BIG fat lair on MSE, if she so well off, Why are you on a M.O.N.E.Y.S.A.V.I.N.G!! website?

I have 2 dogs and i dont give up work to look after them, So Grace if you do have children, will you give up work to look after them or are they not important enough?

So u are married but weren't together for 4 years, got back together and a couple of months later are looking into Surrogacy? :eek:
From what I understand when Grace and her H/B split up they had just been approved for adoption but this fell through (circumstances beyond their control)

You can't label everyone as a teenage mum on a council estate - the majority of us are in long term relationships, OH and I might not be married but at least we have been togther for the last 10 years and he's not left me for 4 of them to live with someone else.

Answer these few questions for me truthfully - yes/no
1. If you were offered 6 months paid maternity leave, would u take it? I was under the impression that Grace currently is not in paid employment so not sure if this would be relevant for her?
2. Will you apply for the Health in Pregnancy Grant which everyone is entitled to? Grace wouldn't qualify for this as it is for pregnant ladies - the surrogate could claim though
3. Will you claim Child Benefit?
4. Will you take the £250 Child Trust Fund Voucher?

If you say Yes to any of them then you are a hypocrite
If you say no to any of them then you are a liar - no-one would pass on money you are entitled to. Get some of your hard earned taxes back!!!

I am not sure if Grace will answer but though I agree her posts are incredibly bitter, unfeeling and callous - she is in fact a lady who is unable to control/hide her resentment towards others that she is unable to carry a child herself so I personally can't feel anything but pity for her - I am hoping that life will not always be this hard for her.

But from what i can make out its not just pregnant women she digs at, she done it with me and my post because of spelling!

She is just evil and lonely, one thing her mummy , daddy and nanny did not teach her was respect.....you have to earn that.....Maybe she never did!

I'm sorry if others dont like my replies!

She can't spell that well herself, so don't worry too much

Personally, I think she is just some little 14 year old sitting in her bedroom dreaming big dreams. (or an alter ego of a pole we all know)

Grace will not answer as she picks and chooses what to answer - usually with something that will get people's backs up.

Other women are not able to have children but they do not post on money saving websites telling people they are scroungers because they take what they are entitled to i.e. maternity leave. She tars everyone with the same brush and imagines we are all sat at home doing nothing. Instead of being women with careers AND families!
I have said I hope that one day she does get her wish to have a child, so that child can melt her heart but she does not deserve anyone's pity when she comes on here making nasty comments.
I have noticed a few of her 'one-liners' removed from other threads so it' obviouslt not just 'us' who think like this.

ETA - It will be interesting to see if Grace does answer the questions.

OP congratulations you must be thrilled. I hope you are throughly enjoying being pregnant.

I am 35 my DH is 43 we plan to have a baby soon (fingers crossed) we are lucky we are financially secure, we both work, have 3 good cars between the two of us, I have horses a beautiful wagon to transport them, and yes we have good savings....

However I plan to either give up work or work very small part time hours once we have our baby. Only working when my DH can have baby. I would never want to leave my baby with someone else. I acknolwedge why some have to do this however I can only accept people who do this for necessity i.e. put food on the table not so they can try to live the same 'extravegent' lifestyle they had before baby....just my opionion though
