Hi crodge6,
I love your blog and I wish you all the best with the blog and life. I tried to leave a comment but it wouldn't let me unless I logged into wordpress which I don't have an account for.
I would still be happy to if your able to change it so anyone can comment.

I've just started a blog myself, only managed 3 posts so far but I'm working on the next. Feel free to take a look.

I’m not sure if I’m doing this correct. But I’m also looking into blogging since I do write a lot but not as much as I used to. I LOVE your story, I’ve been through that storm with my kids dad. We have 3 kids together (2 girls,1 boy) but we aren’t together. My heart feels for you by just reading that!

My heart really feels for you after reading your blog, I’ve just started one myself where i am hoping to start opening up about issues that I’m tackling. So far I’ve just got 2 posts which don’t really go into much but I’m going to write every week.
Id love to keep up to date with your and I really hope things start to look up for you.

I’ve dipped in & out of trying to blog but my interests are all over the place so I worry there’s no theme for people to follow. I first wrote a couple of posts when I was going through breast cancer then dropped it, I’ve written a couple more but think I’m too boring Hmm. I’d love your thoughts and opinions (#hidesunderthestairs).

Sorry, I've accidentally posted on your thread. However, I read your blog and found that I was drawn in to your story. Even though I have no similar experience, I felt great empathy for you and I'm keen to know more. I will log in to WP and follow you. Keep it up, you are a very engaging writer. 👍🏼

Hi everyone. This site is very informative. I've just started a little venture of my own and if it's ok I'd like to share it with. Personally, I can't afford to keep buying my children new books to read every week and the nearest library is miles away so I started writing my own stories and started my own YouTube channel called storyvision studios UK. It's free to subscribe. Thought it would be nice to share it with all the hard working mums out there. The stories are read-a-loud books so Mum or Dad can have a little respite from reading it themselves. I do hope you enjoy them. The next book I'm going to upload is entitled Dragons smelly breath.

I am ungrateful?
I have loved my children all three of them ..2 boys and a girl.. now 37..32 and 31
They had a good up bringing. Yet why don't my boys buy me anything for Mother's day or my birthday. My daughter always does except for today! (Mothers Day) it hurts me every year. Especially when I look on FB and see all the flowers and cards from other children to their mother's. Does this mean they don't really care about me? I will not even be seeing them as I live in Nottingham and they live in London. Each year I think it may be different.. especially when I know how much they spend on clothes.. phones and any other luxury. Just to show that they do think about me. Obviously.. they do not... 10.48am and not even a phone call. My eldest sends me a card from the grandchildren.. I am not their mother their dad is my son. I want a card from him. My other lad does not even send a card. It makes me feel so depressed every time this happens.. I don't know how to handle it ..I know a mothers love is unconditional but when I see how other mothers are treated and our family. I had 6 sisters and 2 brothers we always bought a pressure and flowers for our mum. Sorry.. going on but I need to ask..

Hi i dont think ur children feel that way towards u i think life just throws things at them at that time of year for example i found out i was carrying my son in november and that shocked and delited me but as a result i forgot the 2 birthdays that month ( my mum and my neice they know why now and understand) i had to focus on me to help my son grow as the last time i was pregnant i lost my child as i was so focused on everyone else but me and my baby so i hope this helps if not drop them a quick phonecall to let them know even minus the cards/flowers ur fine and still think of them xx

As a full-time mom, I really enjoy online courses which can be used to refresh my knowledge during the full-time mom break. This is an exciting period with my daughter who started to walk and speak. But, I felt sad thinking about career and its development among same age group colleagues who may become a manager but still I need to work as an executive.

For filling the gap of my career experience, I decided to spend time on online courses to develop my profile. I found an interesting UK government regulated course that CMI level 7 diploma in strategic management and leadership. This is a wonderful programme which is equivalent to MBA. The qualification has been owned by many leaders in UK businesses. I enrolled with the College of Contract Management which offers live online lectures which are one of the additional benefits. They scheduled the lectures at non-working hours so it was more convenient to follow the live lecture whilst my husband was at home. The Moodle of the college is more friendly to catch up.

Does anyone else do something similar? I was looking at one of their extended CMI level 7 diploma course www.theccm.co.uk/courses-page/cmi-level-7-extended-diploma-in-strategic-management-and-leadership/
