to feel a bit offened and slightly embarrased at this

[MrsBucketxx]

I am currently staying in a hotel in kl. its full of all sorts of nationalities etc, who on the whole are lovely and really friendly and love playing and making a fuss of dc's.

Today is the first morning i hav breakfasted on my own with the dc's which are 10 months and two, i always have the staff playing with them etc.

all was well until a british lady came over and said in shocked tones " wow are you on your own travelling with two little ones, your brave" i explained that dh was at work etc, but was mortified and could feel the redness in my face. i didnt like the way she almost made me feel like i had to explian myself.

am i BU or just over sensitive

The bank teller said to me yesterday 'oh you have your hands full... They're, erm, energetic aren't they?'

Yes I am Kitty. I returned to my home city from where I'd moved in London for various reasons and still miss the capital but appreciate what I have here more and more and my DS loves his life here, it's a good balance.

I highly recommend a boating holiday. There have been psychological studies to show that being close to water brings out some kind of primeval contentment and if you get a good, sunny long weekend on the Broads it can be as good as any foreign jaunt. Sunbathing across the front of the boat moored in a secluded spot, near enough to a pub for dinner, lovely!

Sorry for going off topic!

Ooh Gibbous, you should work for the hire companies! You've totally sold me. I can pretend I'm Jerome k Jerome too. I'll look into it although I've just given up work to become a sahm do not sure we can afford it at the mo. I have friends who live on various types of boats and I'm very envious.

when lived in se asia and visited kl with my baby no one gave me comliments, they mostly snarked at my breastfeeding

I'll approach them with your recommendation Kitty and see if they'll give me a job and a free boat :o

Exactly free boat! Will you let me drive? We could go to King's Lynn.

Now that is a plan, bugger Kualar Lumpur, we're off to the real KL.

"I thought KL was Kings Lynn "
