Congrats on publication that’s great news 🙂

First off , this is not a case of child behaving badly cos he wants to – u sad uself he has been diagnosed with add?/hd? So, it is a neurological condition and thus NOT YOUR FAULT. I t is v easy to fall into the trap of thinking u r a bad parent when something like this comes into ur life, but u have to remind uself u r doing the best u can with…[Read more]

Was spaeking to postie this am and he said the no of posters on people’s doors saying politicians and canvassers please f*** off at ur earliest convenience is unreal. Said they are on thousands houses. Perhaps the electioneers just cba on that basis? Lazy shower!!!

@HMM lol!

DH gone to UK til Thurs so nowt doin ere. Don’t like it anyway.

Although he did hand make cards for kids before he left, so tha was nice 🙂

Yvonne is quite right, defo record all instances of their approaching u, they r being unreasonable and reacting to normal every day noises out of all proportion.

If they do come to the door again, don’t cower away, you are in the right. Stand, smile (tightly), be polite and say that you disagrre, that the noise emanating from your house is not…[Read more]

Lol@girls saying my dh looks like Louis Theroux! People say that to me a lot when I confess my secret there!

Dunno about this thread as an open confessional but here goes anyway…In the last 6 weeks I have had 2 v intense dreams about 2 (different) neighbourhood dhs, let’s juat say I was disappointed to wake up!

Richard Bilton (BBC reporter)

Predictable, but I wouldn’t say no to Brad Pitt
Jamie MacFarlane – c.1980 ( I loved him since we were 5 and in primary school, he moved towns at 11 and broke my heart, have never forgotten him, we used to laugh together so much. Recently rediscoverd him on fb, the years have not been kind to the face but…[Read more]

A period of parental leave to experiment perhaps?

Yeah u right Taylor…

What I didn’t make explicit in my last post I suppose is that I meant that the balance will subtly change most likely after 2 yrs have passed (this is what has been found in grief counselling). Basically, there are fewer gales and more breezes.

Can vouch for this. Between us in last 4 yrs, my dh and I have lost a brother,…[Read more]

Don’t go on this journey alone , I mean metaphorically. As soon as you can ( work towards this) talk openly to ur dh, other kids, parents, extended family about how u r feeling and how these feelings are changing minute to minute, hour to hour, day to day. And about Julian.

This isn;t something you will "get over", but as much as it mightn’t…[Read more]

Read it about 5 yrs ago at book club in UK, remember thinking it was very powerfully written. Makes a lot of self-examination of your own parenting (style) occur I think, some of it uncomfortable.

You can vote repeatedly apparently, all day every day if you want….

When mums are considering giving up work, i think one area they don’t contemplate is the wealth of opportunities that will reveal themselves to them AFTER you’ve stopped working. You never know who you will meet, what interests you will uncover, the talents you will (re)discover about yourself and the avenues that will present themselves once you…[Read more]
