MSE Parents Club Part 11

Fitzio

Morning!

Csh - I didn't misunderstand your weight question btw - not worrying in the slightest. She should be a bit heavier than 16lbs now but don't think she is quite 18lbs.

I will find my way to Asda car park for 12 noon and phone you if I am running late. I think I just need to go right at a roundabout instead of straight on but will manage fine.

ETA - Welcome Jolene and congratulations!

Link to dreadful hair and earrings on a baby.



I agree, to an extent. I worked my butt off to get where I am, and for the most part I'm happy, and we're comfortable. I'm incredibly appreciative of what I have and of the opportunities that allowed me to get to this point, and proud of myself for having been able to achieve the things I have. I still have dreams and wishes though.

What annoys me isn't when other people dream of stuff or wish they had it, it's when they wish for stuff that could be within their reach but won't actually take the step and reach out for it. It's the most frustrating thing about my job. This doesn't apply to even half the patients I deal with, but enough that it is a significant problem, and I see it outside of work too. If you wish for something, work out how to get there and try your best.

I agree Sugar and as usual you are better at saying it than I.
Of course I still would like a better car bigger house whatever. I obviously aspire to things. I then go and get them and don't begrudge others what they have.


Incidently, on the 'teenage mother' front. I had DD when I was 16 with no family support and lived in a homeless hostel til I got a council flat in downtown junkie-ville. I've worked awful jobs, and !!!!!! jobs to pay myself through college at a time when there was no TC. I then worked an average of 45-50hrs a week to get a decent flat and car.
I was single til I met OH when DD was 6yrs.

My mother been on benefits since 1988 when my Dad died and she lives in a one bed council flat so I certainly wasn't born with a silver spoon.

I'm going to meet Csh for lunch and a blether today (as long as she doesn't start any debates with anyone and get me into trouble)!

It's quite sunny here too, so hope the weather is nice along the M8.

Morning all. Had a lie in until 5 past 8 this morning... Typical it happens on a school day so I have to dash round getting Aimee ready... I feel a lot better for it, especially as Caitlyn didn't wake for a feed until 5:30 (just as hubby's '1st' alarm was going off, he usually likes to get up on the '2nd' alarm, but I was scared he'd disturb her too much to go back to sleep so I kicked him out the bed early lol) I don't know if she slept that long because she went to bed later last night or if it was just an anomally... Who knows with these babies?!

Congratulations Jolene, and welcome.

Morning Natalie, I'm off to toddlers in a short while... Ran out of milk yesterday and I'm desperate for a cup of tea... Never thought to try my own milk until I saw Sami's suggestion on facebook lol... Funny really, I always said my biggest regret after Aimee stopped feeding was not making a cuppa with my own milk and I've gone and done it again... Haven't expressed in months so I doubt I'd get even enough for a cuppa out if I tried now!
