    sami i'll say snap to that .... i mean to be fair i dont speak to half my family anymore but the ones i do dont make a big fuss like they did with zoe ...... ive had no money or things boght for jayden where as zoe everyone bought her everything .

    just realised how selfish that sounded ... didnt mean it just bugs me that people basically ignore jayden unless they wanna nosey then thats it x
    it doesn't sound bad, I'm the same in that I couldn't care less if we got nothing for both but for people to make a fuss over one and not the other is just rude
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    lol. no mum with a baby happy having 4hourly feeds is ever allowed to complain :p:rotfl:

    Almost no-one has bothered with giving Ed anything :( I'd never ignore someones 2nd born like half my family/friends have! :rolleyes:

    Aw thats harsh - I think people would think 'Oh if I have to buy Ed something then I'd have to but Christopher something as well so he doesn't feel left out' and then don't bother.

    Jack has £200 so far and tons of gifts and clothes - am sure it wont be the same on the second!


    Aw, he's so cute!

    Well, I'm in the kitchen with lots going on so will be back later in case I burn something! :o

    Oh scruffy, if you are in a bad place at the minute, talking jibberish with us might help:o Please dont feel as though you have to be constructive, I'm not and no one seems to care (and even if you do - keep it to yourselves:p:rotfl:)

    MM, Dylan is sooo cute!!!

    Amber got very little. MIL got big things for the boys, Amber got a changing bag. It is a nice changing bag, it's a hand bag cross changing bag in fairness, and a sleeping bag I told her not to buy as I won't use it (she hates them) and it's a summer weight anyway. My mum and dad wanted to buy her an expensive dress, but I said no. I don't want a £50 dress (buying them 2nd hand from ebay is different) because they could buy her a years worth of 'basics' (vests, tights, sleepsuits) for that and I'd appreciate it more. But atleast this way I have chosen what I want, not had to smile and say thanks for something when I'm thinking I'd have prefered a differnt colour :rotfl:
