nms - what a shame. Its for reasons like that I don't like my LO being with my MIL - she always does what I expressly ask her not too :rotfl:

NMS -i would be fuming!! MIL has told me she will buy Kian's 1st shoes (dont mind that) but i (i mean DH and I) will be the ones who go to the shop. MIL will give us the money first.


i wanna trunki too. and i'm so glad some of you will have used them before i buy one so i know if its a good or bad thing.

Lewis's sell them (last time i looked) and had different designs. I didnt realise you could get bags for the inside

You being in Germany are probably used to it being a bit more acceptable? I'm not sure how open the Germans are, but it's a British disease that sex is dirty.

Sex is quite normal here, the page 3 boobs are on the front page and nobody bats an eyelid. It helps that saunas here are no-clothing and people sunbathe naked, so by the time hormones start raging everyone's seen enough naughty bits that there's no mystery.

Explicit approaching...

What annoys me most about the attitude that sex shouldn't be talked about is that teenagers who get their sex information from pornography don't realise the amount of behind the scenes stuff that goes on. There are fashions in pornography - a friend of mine who works in a medical centre in the UK is horrified by the number of girls coming in with nasty infections because they've let their boyfriend go, um, from the back to the front without a wash or a change of condom in between. They don't realise that the girls on the screen are taking precautions to stop that happening before and after the shot.

Sorry NMS but I would be FUMING!! How very, very rude of her.


Sorry

I would be outraged. I'm sorry NMS

I didn't expect that reaction.

I don't think it was done intentionally. I think my Mum is more practical than sentimental, and wouldn't have seen it as the whole 1st pair of shoes where they take a picture and make a fuss scenario IYSWIM Anyway, Liam seems really pleased with them...he kept pointing to them

Hi all :wave:

I have a poorly baba

I wasn't able go to the meet as couldn't get the day off work (I told SM already). I am supposed to be down south at a client meeting right now, but I got a phonecall from the nursery while I was on my way to say C has a temperature of 38.8.

I'm pretty sure it's the effects of her injections last week, as she's showing most of symptoms listed. She's quite bad though - she's either asleep, or wanting cuddles. When she's awake, she's crying most of the time She's had calpol but it doesn't seem to be helping much. I phoned the doctors and they can't fit her in(!) so told me to take her to hospital if she doesn't improve.

She's asleep at the moment, so I'm going to see how she is when she wakes up and then go to the hospital. I know it's best to get her checked out, but will feel guilty for going to the hospital and wasting their time if is a reaction to the MMR.

For me, it's the best approach, the lack of mystery. You can see violent films & listen to thug rappers, but sex is 'dirty' and poked fun at and made into some cheap thing that people should be embarrassed about. I blame Katy 'tacky' Perry.:rotfl:

This is the thing with !!!!!!, the girls are more protected and in the know than someone who goes out of an evening on the pull. They are regularly tested and need certificates before any shoot and anyway, if it's degrading to women as some put it, how can it not be degrading to men who are less than average? They make it out as all men are beasts in a certain area and can go for hours (numbing gel and edits) Man has limits. It doesn't offend me, but i'm sure some blokes feel inadequate.

Their are some sections of !!!!!! and the sex world that are pure wrong, but it's the same with anything. Exploitation is not limited to one employment area. Then their is prostitution, that I think that should be legal for safety of those involved, but that's another story....

Anyway, save all that for the other thread. Don't know where it is and won't look, but will stop talking about it as wrong place for it.

If you think it makes me mad, Lucy would have a fit (at people who call it degrading, not at me)

Right, moving on........busy day today SS?

NMS- i'm sure your mum meant to cause you no upset.

mums are great at being practical and never look at things sentimentally. like the 1st pair of shoes etc...

My Mum took him to get his first pair of shoes yesterday, I was a little because I was holding off until both Hubby & I could take him, but ho hum.

Bang out of order. That's a parent's joy to do that. No ho hum about it, you tell them how upset you are. I would be furious.

I hope she feels better soon. Don't feel guilty about 'wasting time'. She comes first and if you have any worries, that's what they are there for.
