  • I am so proud of all the mums (and dads) who have focused on prioritising their children's education whether this is private, fighting for a child rights/needs in state, or educating otherwise.

    DS3 picked up my CIC yesterday as I was not feeling well. He said he was bring it straight home…. god knows what time he got in.

    Morning :)


    Can I just apologise if any of my posts are a little hormonal atm? I've managed to stay fairly level headed until now but am finding the smallest of things pushing my buttons this week :o

    Sorry that someone made such vile comments fc, so way beyond inappropriate x

    I'm sure that all of us can attribute at least one part of our success to the support of our parents (no successful person does it with no help at all and I don't believe them if they say otherwise) and isn't it normal to want to give children the very best you can afford? We don't have much money and have a fair bit of debt but I've started looking at nurseries in the area and I can tell you now I'm not looking at the cheapest ones!

    As for having more money than some of the other people on here - doesn't that just mean you have more to manage? All the more reason to protect and look after what you have?

    Anyway, sounds to me like the green-eyed monster. Btw you and your family have lovely names x

    As for the other comment, all I can say is that as someone who's battled anxiety depression for more than half my life who has a husband with ptsd, I'm regularly disappointed by the blatant ignorance shown by morons who have no idea of the sorts of experiences that get a person to that place and no ounce of empathy yet have the gaul to call themselves mentally balanced. Sorry if I'm feeding the troll here, I promise I'll :silenced: now I've said my peace (tell me to delete if you think necessary)
