If everyone agrees on a list, I am happy to compile it. You could just give whatever basic info you want -

Fitzio, mum to H, bn September 09, still on mat leave until July.
MOTM, dad to 7 girls, age x-X, wonderful new girlfriend.
Feelie, mum to Toby 9m, likes BF/slings/co-sleeping/meeting people!

Or you can just put info in your sigs. Mine already has it, and Susan suggested it before, but not everyone does it. I suppose the benefit of a list is that it would allow people to compare to see who has LOs of a similar age.

As I said, I am more than happy to do the list if everyone agrees, and you all post or PM me the details. Might take me a couple of days though! Don't mind if people would rather not though. xx

Well, if you do make a list, your post for me sounds fine. Could probably play with wonderful new girlfriend, but my head is blank at the moment and i'd like to condense my sig but can't get my head around that either :rotfl:

The list is a great idea as I do get confused sometimes.

Oooh enjoy yourself Feelie

typical...Finn hasn't napped properly for 3 days (and didn't sleep much last night either). And when does he finally conk out? 20 minutes before we need to get ready to go a local mummies meet-up. I'm so torn whether to leave him (he could be out for 10 minutes or 4 hrs, there's no way of knowing) and skip it (but am quite desperate to meet local mums) or go to the meet knowing he will of course wake up b/c he needs a change, put on coat, etc. but might fall back asleep in pram?

help! what would you do?

(:j for feelie! :j for baby groups that are good! :mad: for baby groups that are bad)

i'd get him ready to go. if he falls asleep on the way brill. if he's asleep when you get there it doesnt really matter. the important thing (took me weeks to realise) is that you are getting out and about meeting other mummmies!!

be late for the group?:)

possibly - is just a casual thing and I have no idea how long it will last! (eta: I don't care if he's asleep when there...it's more that this is 1st time in 3 days he's gone down in his basket for a nap so am v reluctant to move)

also, I forgot to say hugs to jillie

Fitzio

Csh - lovely picture. I am laughing at the amount of Kieren's stuff in what I assume to be your living room. They really take over don't they?!

Feelie - good luck with the nanny. Hope it goes smoothly and you can relax a bit whilst you are upstairs and enjoy the chocolate.

Weezl - put whatever you want to in your sig lol. I think most people know you on here anyway, so your fame and loveliness will ensure that you will never be forgotten.

MOTM - I keep forgetting you are Man on the Moon. I always think of you as Man of the Month!?! I don't know where I got that from, but I am sure you are Man of the Month in your house anyway (and day, week, year etc).

I can't even keep up with this thread when I am actively on it.

thanks everyone for your comments re SIL. I know she was in a very dark place at the time and she did not know that i would have to be induced that week. We had taken the decision not to tell her things as she (when on an up) would call constantly and it all got wearing and then she would go down and we wouldnt hear from her for months. wasnt sure i wanted her in our lives and also for things that had been said and done previously. (could write an essay on it).
part of me wonders if i had told her there was a possibility they were gonna induce me that week would she not have done it??? when she was on a high it was all 'i cant believe i'm going to be an auntie' and 'C's going to have a cousin'.... she had rang us the morning she did it and i took the call. think it was her goodbye call, as she rang all the relatives over the course of the day, there also had been an article in the newspaper about the effects bi-polar etc can have on your children and a story bout someone who also had commited suicide....

i think too much :cool:
i do show K her photo and say that's your auntie J...and I have told him that he wont get to meet her...


sorry i;m crying now so gonna post this and have some deep breathes. i think i need to post a thread really to get it all off my chest but i'm scared as i know posters can get a real rough time when people dont like what you have said.


didnt want to bring anyone down and sorry if i have

Sorry for your hard time and don't worry about posting, especially in here.

I understand about how some posters can be, but just ignore them, they'll say whatever the opposite of what you need to hear is anyway, it's just people looking to release their own anger and you would only be a release for them.

:rotfl: I got called Man of the Moment and MOTH in another thread :rotfl:

Thread moves so fast, I can't keep up either, so the list is a good idea. I think keeping an update would be too difficult and time consuming for anyone (I saw that suggested) although major updates could be given to the OP to input when required?
