    I'm sure it does, not suffered myself - unless you count post natal depression as the same??

    I do (although not got kids myself). It's all different side of the same coin I reckon!

    too many comps..not enough time!

    It was over 9 years ago now with my 1st daughter. I think it was just a shock to the system having my 1st child and suffered for a few weeks but managed to get myself out of it asap. Luckily with my 2nd daughter (she's 19 months) I was fine. I was determined this time not to let it happen again!

    NOW IN COMPING SEMI-RETIREMENT! :D

    Thanks! That pic was taken about 6 months ago so she's changed a bit!
    I think some people are probably more susceptible to it than others, my mum had it when I was born but I think thats because I was ill so things were harder for her.

    My neice is 19 months. Every time I see her shes learnt something new. Cant wait until christmas, it gets better as they get older. Last time I saw her 5 months ago she was running my partner round the house, him acting like her walking stick. She now walks on her own and is a right little chatterbox apparently. If only my nephew would come out of his shell, bless hes a year older but so shy.

    They're all different. My eldest did things at a completely different age than my youngest. DD1 is more academic and always has been, when she was a toddler she could solve jigsaws and puzzles the first time she tried but DD2 has no interest yet! DD2 is more interested in eating mud in the garden!! :rotfl: She doesn't talk yet either but we can understand her completely through her way of communicating!
