Hey all
I am new to this board, but I have four boys - aged 5, 3 and four-month-old twins and today I am feeling really peeved at some people's attitude towards my family, and I guess I am looking for a bit of understanding from those who know.
I know you hate it when people post links to their blog on here, but I just vented the whole story there and will summarise here, but if you want all the details there on the blog (link below).
Anyway to cut a long story short my sis in law said yesterday that she had a dream that she was pregnant with what would be number three and found out it was a girl (she has two boys and always wanted a daughter). In the dream she had to choose between going ahead with the pregnancy or paying school fees for her two sons. In the dream she chose to get rid of the baby and pay the fees, and said she would do that in real life too. Hubby's grandma sat there and said that was completely the right choice.
All well and good, but there was I with my four children - who will all go to state school and eldest is very happy there thank you very much. But l left feeling really rubbish as I felt the implication that I was in some way a bad mother for having dared to have four children, thereby ensuring that none would go to private school (in fact when we had two we couldn't afford it either, but that's by the by).
Really just feeling a bit miserable and wanted to vent to those who might understand.
Phew....Thanks for listening.
