To my 14 yr DD at school, weight 71b 2oz, at 3:02pm.

She is VERY fussy and needs LOADS of attention. Has different nappies so knows when changed! HAs own bottle & DD is tagged so ONLY she can look after "Isobel".

Wish me luck

Fantastic!

Is this to dissuade them from making you grandparents early?!

Good luck!

coppertop · 10/06/2005 18:59

LOL! And good luck, Grandma!

Twiglett · 10/06/2005 19:00

hahahaha

you're going to have to move off the pc to give DD a chance to spend her life here now

Milliways · 10/06/2005 19:01

Yes - all the boys had them first . Some of them die! Most of the kids can't wait to get them then can't wait to give them back. The head is VERY floppy & has to be supported all the time, so no carrying home in the schoolbag.

Ours caused a stir on the school bus!

Fantastic; how is your DD finding motherhood?

Milliways · 11/06/2005 17:01

OMG - it is terrible. DD was up all night - got 3 hrs sleep max & was threatening to lock it in the garage!. She says "I'm only 14 -too young to be dealing with this". To save sanity we prised the wristband of her & I took over for a while. This was a goodopportunity to talk about how a baby in a supportive family PLANNED role can be shared a bit, SINGLE motherhood is not to be contemplated.

However...... She vows she is NEVER EVER going to have a baby, only adopt a 4 yr old + .......... and this after only 1 night!

These should be compulsory for ALL teenagers

Thanks for asking.

Would you like to borrow my 4 year old so she can test out that theory

Pinotmum · 11/06/2005 17:10

PMSL - that is fantastic your poor dd.

QueenEagle · 11/06/2005 17:12

These should deffo be compulsory for all teenagers - and I mean girls AND boys.

Hulababy · 11/06/2005 17:13

Excellent; so at least it seems to have the desired effect! Maybe those three girls that all got pg in same family should have gone through this first!

Milliways · 11/06/2005 21:12

Phew - have just got it to sleep!

DD wants to know why it always cries when we are trying to eat

MarsLady · 11/06/2005 21:17

Excellent. So will she be posting and asking for advice?

hunkermunker · 11/06/2005 21:17

Milliways, I hope you rolled your eyes and said, "Because that's what babies do!!"

Sounds like you won't be a granny just yet...

Milliways · 11/06/2005 21:19

Oh no...... she's deff a career girl now

Sounds fabulous! Maybe we should get a mumsnet one to send round to those who are wondering about the wisdom of a second/third/fourth/fifth ...?!

Milliways · 11/06/2005 21:29
