I proper love this thread!
I'm having a baby girl (I hope) and am deliberating between names. Currently a choice between Claire, Rachel, Michelle or Louise. What do you think? I don't want her to be one of 7 Jackie's in the class like I was. Something original is best.
Recently had twin ds and am up to armpits in nappies, also sleep deprived. I'm a sahm, to the twins and a 3yo little terror. Dh works in an office where he gets to drink coffee and read papers in peace. We share night wakings and on weekends he gets up early one day so I can lie in. He gets the bus to work so not like he's harmed through lack of sleep. Dh is happy with the arrangement as am I. Mil insists I'm working her baby boy too hard, that children is my job and I'm being terribly unfair.
Aibu to want to go to benidorm this year rather than a damp caravan in bognor Regis? It's always cold and wet, the radiator never works, the kids argue like hell and the entertainment is shocking. They do package holidays which are brilliant and I can get a nice suntan. Pack kids off to kids club and jobs a good un. Dh doesn't like flights- jve told him the alternative is him taking the kids to bognor Regis alone and I'll stay at home drinking wine. He went a funny shade and is going to the travel agents tomorrow
Aibu to think this new money is a way to charge us more for essentials, like bread and cigarettes?
Aibu to think son in law is lazy and its no wonder he's fat (13 stone at 5 foot 5).he works in an office, so hardly hard work, and gets the train to work! He could work the 3 miles no problem but instead only walks a mile to the station. And of an evening he prefers wine and TV to a good hobby like football. Dd still does him cooked breakfast and tea though. Aibu to think this is no good, and a sign of laziness to come? Also aibu to make dgc 2 miles to school (he's 5) in all weather's to offset the influence of his dad's laziness?
I got pregnant by a gi during the war - well one or two anyway. I've always told Dd that her dad was a soldier who died in North Africa,which worked fine for years. Dd is now 25 and asking awkward questions - going to the library and researching. Aibu to cry whenever she broaches the subject in the hope she leaves it?
Aibu to refuse to marry any old man, and in fact refuse the dates my mother sets me up on, simply because I'm a single mother. I'm doing an excellent job for two parents and whatever dm says, the kids will benefit from seeing their mother work hard. I don't give a fig if she insists childcare is awful.
Have just turned 17 and got another job (my 6th since leaving school). Have found a great flatshare, but parents disapprove. It's in a up and coming - - dangerous - - part of London and is cosy - - tiny - -. I'd be sharing with a few others - - 6 people excluding me - - and paying a pittance rent. Aibu to think this is the independence I've always craved?
