someone slap me

[juneybean]

and tell me to stop being ridiculous.

I'm so broody lately, so much so that I've been on the mothercare websites looking at prams and tonight I'm even thinking of names.

I'd dearly love a baby but I want my own house first and of course missing a vital ingredient!

So yes, someone slap me and tell me to stop being a twat.

I'm only 24, although one of my first posts on MN when I was 22 was about having a baby alone haha! I will do it eventually but not now!!!

Consider yorself slapped! V v hard though, I know...

I even say to myself, think about the times you're at work and you're having a bad day with the little one (I'm a nanny) when it's your own you can't count down to home time lol.

I was the same at your age!!

Do you have a 'significant (male) other'? or is this the missing vital ingredient?

At your age I'd still hold out for the 'significant other' & getting the house first - but if these don't fall into line in the next few years, then it's a whole new world out there of women 'doing it alone'

Bless you! If you did it by yourself, would it be "officially" (ie with a donor or adoption) or "accidentally on purpose" (ie a one night stand)?

That's the missing ingredient ChippingIn but to be honest I'm quite happy alone!!

I don't know BP, twould be expensive the "official" way but least it'd be ....clean haha

and this is your fault BP! You and your tiny baby!

well you would need some sort of partner (or donor) to make a baby but I have 3 (soon to be 4) kids and we rent our house happily - and I had my first at 20 so I cant slap you too hard

i really want a baby to, i've been wanting babies for years, my dp was very against having children, but over the last two years he keeps saying that he really wants to have my babies

But we want to get married and own are own flat or house first, i'm 27 and dp is 28 and i am seriously wishing i could skip my next depo and get pregnant, although i never will, because we just aren't ready yet.

I look on lots of websites, and me and dp have talked about names lots, he likes my fav girls name so thats good cause everything else i like is a no. Grrrr

But i can i join you in the i want a baby brigade.

Least I'm not alone There'll definitely be a babybean (or childbean) before I'm 30!

Unfortuantly i don't think there will be for me

She is a lovely baby, I keep looking at her and forgetting the HORROR that it took to have her and thinking another would be nice... :0

I know it isn't any help, but when I first got pregnant, I had been seeing DP for two weeks, he was still legally married to his ex and neither of us had jobs or homes (I was with parents on a bedsettee, he was on a friends blow up bed, we had both given up our jobs with a plan to move to Manchester for a new start with each other after relationship disasters in a kind of impulsive irresponsible way.) and we are ok in our little rented house with DPs minimum wage temp job. Sometimes things just turn our ok in the end.

Awww surely not, you've still got 3 years? :/

slap

btw juneybean, we should do coffee at some point. I need to sort out my social calendar tbh. I spend too long in the house discussing cbeebies and poo

You child-free things should be out enjoying your freedom while you still have it, you will never get this time back again. There is no rush to have babies.

Remember the grass is always greener. Enjoy what you have. You are very lucky.

Definitely BP, I've got my M Thursday afternoon? I think the two M's would get on well together! Could go to Sainbos cafe lol

Or if you fancy further a field, Saltwell park next Wednesday morning, could pop into towers for coffee.

Or we could do both if you want to get out the house lots!

You are so right OMDB!

My cheeks are feeling nice and raw now

well maybe i'll be pregnant at 30

i work in a nursery and dp just finished at uni and is still looking for a job, it is a struggle to pay for the rent and all the bills without adding a baby into the mix, and i can't willingly get preganant knowing the situation i am in. However if i did gt pregnant by accident, there is no way on earth i would ever have an abortion, and i would be extremly happy

You'd think working with children would put us off haha

I'm only a part time nanny so it's nigh on impossible to support myself, I rent a room off my brother.

I totally love my job, although i am put off having 12 two year olds, that is tough, but i love the babies, love love love.

I'm loving the toddler age at the minute, my charge is 2.2 and she's just so funny, very fun to be around.

Yes individually and in small groups they are great, a whole hoard of twelve two year olds running around is a nightmare.

My room is very hectic, it is so funny though, i love the things they come out with, this age when they are just learning words and sentances, and its like they are exploring the world all over again and putting their thoughts to it.

Makes us giggle all the time.

Juney- M has her dancing lesson on Thursday afternoons and goes to her Grandparents in the evening as I go to an evening class, so maybe next Wednesday morning would be better. Only thing - Saltwell park is a bit awkward public transport wise and if you are working presumably you won't have car room. I can however see if the ILs are planning on going to the theatre that day (they volunteer there so go there quite a lot in the daytime) and could ask them for a lift if they are?

Ooo if they can give you a lift that's great otherwise we could take them to the tumble tank at the galleries and then go for coffee afterwards?

What on earth is the tumble tank? Is this a whole child entertainment in easy bus reach that I don't even know about???

shall we take this to fb?
