Searchie - in RL I have no female friends apart from those that I'm related too! I developed issues with my only friends when she had 3 kids in 3 years smack bang in the middle of my problems (I was extremely jealous and haven't really got over it)

i can understand that they're real problems of why a friendship brokedown but i always have the same 2 problems with female friends .. either they like my bluntness til its about them or they've been taking the mick and its always there way and when i finally get fed up and say something im the biggest cow in the world .. some ive even had a mixture of the two but at 24 you'd think it would settle down as the people around you become adult and the small that are that ... small and dont matter or maybe i have it wrong *shrug* x

SM - I never voiced my feelings I just distanced myself as I found it hard being around babies and children anyway. I probably was immature about it at the time but I was in the darkest time of my fertility treatment, I'd just found out I'd need IVF and the length of the waiting list in my area when her DD was born and then when the twins were born I was still waiting.

She did try, but I did find it a bit insenstive when she sent her pg announcement in a Christmas Card.

sarah have you tried a puncture repair kit out on your birthing pool??

No because I'm not sure how to find the hole
I can't think of any other way to check and it's too big to get in a bucket of water like I would a bike tyre :rotfl:

no you dont do that (put it in a card i mean) if you're a friend you talk person to person i always felt if something was to be said and truly meant the only way to say is facetoface no matter how uncomfortable it is x

Just away to read back, away to order a takeaway in a mo, but not sure what to get. The kebab place near by is cheap but gives me sore guts, the chinese is utterly rank. Maybe look through the menus I have.

:eek: at the waterbabies price....surely lessons at 1/2 would be more beneficial than when they are an infant? Not that I'd know like, but I do know a baby couldn't swim, yah?

I really need to get Keira lessons, it's just that i wont go in the pool with my apron.

SM, maybe if you just try to get out of the house to groups and meet other mums to start with, dont go aiming to look for a friend as such, as you will just be dissapointed if you dont meet anyone you click with, but if you go just for a chat, even if all you talk about are the kids, then its a start, and a friendship can come of it.
Trust me I have been there, my best friend was one of my customers that I did an ann summers party for and then our kids started going to school together and we just chatted outside the gates waiting for the kids and are now at each others houses all the time and go out together etc ...
