To be angry at a nanny 'friend' who told me I should leave my job..........

Mummyoftwoangels · 30/04/2013 14:39

just because I told her I didn't want to feed her youngest charge her bottle this morning?! She was 'busy' texting her boss!!

My reasoning being, I lost my own babies just over a year ago, and struggle at times with dealing with young babies! The children I look after are 3 and 6 so not babies!!

She said I should be able to help out others or I'm not doing my job properly! She knows the history of what I have been through, but insisted that I should think about changing my career Sad

If I seriously thought I wasn't doing my job properly, I would leave! AIBU to be really angry, and sad at her criticism?!

Thanks MammaTJ I did get a couple of hours sleep!

I'm now off to work a few hours, before I go and mark my girls special day!

I just want to wish my special angels birthday wishes! You may not be here to enjoy your day, open your presents, or try cake for the first time! But I hope you can see that I Love you more than words can say and I hope you are looking down on me and can see how much I wanted you both! I will never forget you, and I send you all my love, hugs and kisses always! God Bless you both! MY Beautiful Angels xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thinking of you. And another one saying it was not your fault.

Thinking of you and your girls. I believe you and none of this is your fault.

My ds passed away on Saturday at 22 weeks 6 years ago on this weekend so sending you love from someone else who has lost a child.

Glad you realise that MNHQ was not aimed at you and was standard not personal.

Hope you get through today as best you can. Focus on the good and put the bad behind you, if you can

I hope today as been as special as you hoped and that you come back and tell us about it.

Mummyoftwoangels · 08/05/2013 19:13

Thanks again for all the kind words of support, I am very touched and I am sure my girls are looking down and are thankful too!

It has been a very tough day! Full of tears, sadness, memories and some smiles!

I worked this morning, finished at lunch time and went to the hospital chapel. There I lit a candle for both girls! I said a little prayer for each, and I just sat and thought for a while! I watched the candle flicker, and tried to imagine what my girls would of looked like, if they were here today! I then thought about the day they were born, the feeling of overwhelming love I felt for them, when I held them in my hands! Those tiny but perfect girls! My daughters! My angel babies! I rememebered that day as if it were yesterday, I rememeber wishing they would open there eyes, wishing I could hear them cry, just once! Wishing they could hear me, when I told them I loved them, and that I was sorry!

I had taken 2 balloons with me to the chapel, I took them into the peace garden with me! My plan was to release them there! But it didn't feel right! I was too upset, and it wasn't them I was remembering Sad So I went for a walk! I decided to go to a park! A beautiful park with a pond and some ducks, perfect!! This would of been where I would of taken my girls, they would of loved watching the ducks, and feeding them! So I sat on a bench in the beautiful sunshine (yes it suddenly cleared up this afternoon) and just watched as people passed by! I thought long and hard about what I wanted to tell my girls! When I finally found the words I slowly let go of the ribbons that held the balloons. I watched as they went high up into the sky, tears streaming down my cheeks. But I felt that they had heard my words and that they understood how much they meant to me and how much I love them!

As I walked back to the house, I thought about how lonely I felt, but then I thought about how lucky I am! I may not be in a great place right now, but I am in a better place than I was 2years ago, and although my babies didn't make it into this world! They brought me so much! They made me a mum, and I feel like the luckiest person in the world! Because I was given the opportunity to have two angels in my life. I may not be a mum in some people's eyes. But in my heart, I know I am and always will be mummy to two very very special girls!

I'd just like to send love, support and best wishes to all the other parents of Angel babies! They are all very special and they are all watching over us! Xxxxxxxxxxx

You have written eloquent and beautiful words. Very glad there were some positive moments today. You are in a better place than two years ago. In two more years, it will be much better than now. Look to the future. The past has made you the person you are but you can choose to build on the good bits and not let the bad bits define you.

All the best for the future.

Mummyoftwoangels · 09/05/2013 09:37

Thanks shewhowines that's a great way of looking at things!

The day didn't end to well Sad I had a first birthday card sent to me anonymously but think I can guess who it was from!

Anyway I've bored everyone enough! Thanks again to all. Xxxx

I'm glad you managed to make it through such a difficult day. Flowers

Put the card in a sealed sandwich bag and hand it to the police as evidence of further harassment as that's what it is.

That is a positively evil thing to do.

buildingmycorestrength · 09/05/2013 10:05

Mummyof two angels my heart goes out to you. You have been through so so much. I'm so glad you took some time yesterday to do what you needed to do.

I hope you feel you can come back to Mumsnet for support. There are some very supportive places on here.

Maybe the card contains a clue to your partner's killer? There could be more to all this than meets the eye. What are the police saying? Did you keep the envelope for fingerprints?

BOF I'm not sure if you have misread something, or if I have said something, to confuse you?! My Ex partner was not killed?

BlackAffronted · 09/05/2013 12:57

BOF, are you poking fun at the OP?

BOF · 09/05/2013 13:03

Do I sound like I am getting overly involved in the developing story? I'll ask for my post to be withdrawn if it gives the that impression.

BOF · 09/05/2013 13:05

Did I misunderstand? I thought you said he was dead, and he didn't sound elderly, so I assumed foul play. I was jumping to conclusions, perhaps.

glitternanny · 09/05/2013 13:10

you dont have to be elderly to die BOF

Mummyoftwoangels · 09/05/2013 13:13

BOF I'm not going to go into details of what happened to my ex partner, but he was not killed!

I came on here for some support, which I was given by some kind thoughtful understanding people! I did not come on here to be made fun of!

OP posts:
BlackAffronted · 09/05/2013 13:13

I don't recall rading that he had died. Was that in another thread?

Ok, so people are definitely poking fun now, I guess I've missed something.

BOF · 09/05/2013 13:17

How am I making fun of you? I just wondered whether the mysterious anonymous card could be connected to the shocking/tragic (delete as applicable, I don't want to pry) death, and that maybe this woman could have dealings with all the dodgy people he used to hang round with, you never know? It all sounds like a police matter to me!

BOF · 09/05/2013 13:20

20:27, Thursday, up there ^
