Ellbell... It just made me feel awfully sad. I mean, I moan sometimes, we all do, I suppose it just really made me put things into perspective.

for the 15 year old .. yes incredibly sad, doesn't negate others' woes though

I hope you're making a shepherd's pie for him

and try to get him involved in young carer organisations like this

michellexmx · 23/11/2007 22:58

Thanks Twiglett.

I'm meeting him on Monday in home tech room and we're cooking it in there.
Thanks for the link x

there is always someone, somewhere worse off than you

so old people say

expatinscotland · 23/11/2007 23:03

old people are the biggest moaners of all, too.

god, they're so bloody annoying.

onlyjoking9329 · 23/11/2007 23:04

oh i don't know sometimes a moan is good?

Ellbell · 23/11/2007 23:05

You sound like a great teacher xmx. In situations like that, if you can do something practical, however small it may seem in the scheme of things, I think it's a great source of support. He's lucky to have you around.

expatinscotland · 23/11/2007 23:05

it is.

my chief moan is about old people.

they irritate the fuck out of me.

michellexmx · 23/11/2007 23:09

Thanks Ellbell, that's very sweet of you. It does seem inadequate, but what else can I do apart from be there for him and give help and advice?

they're very bolshy (oaps) and congregate to talk in one area of the supermarket

haven't the japanese invented any oap entertainment yet most of them seem enthusiastic for new things

Ellbell · 23/11/2007 23:11

Exactly... and you know you can't give him his mum back, but you can give him the advice he's asked you for which is about shepherd's pie, and that's a start.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 23/11/2007 23:14

aww poor lad

I'm glad you are doing right by him.

divamummy2 · 23/11/2007 23:16

stop moaning about moan

michellexmx · 23/11/2007 23:16

I suppose Ell, I just hope he's ok and that he can get through this. It's too mcuh for a 15 yr old, but, he's a little toughy.
