to be envious who are currently...

[emkana]

...sat in the garden having their tea while having an animated conversation, while their 9 month old is happily playing on a mat next to them.

Meanwhile I have yet to feed and bath etc three children age 7, 5 and 2.10, with dh being away.

And I can't even say that we used to have that...

envious of the neighbours

Yes but they'll probably be up 25 times in the night

ah but the 9 month old is probably still getting up in the night, teething and refusing solids
and they have yet to embark on the hell that is potty training and school runs etc, lol

I'm envious of those with gardens - we have a yard. Oh, and it's too cold here in Scotland to eat outside anyway.

My 9 month old won't play happily on a mat for more than 2 minutes.

She does sleep through the night even when teething and eat all her solids though.

there are flies,a chill in the air, and that baby probably needs a nappy change!!

lol at this thread, do you feel better now emkana?!

not really, gotta get stuck in
