Due in June........let's all go dancing naked under the full moon

57%!! just a touch more virginal than you, Holly

highly amusing... especially re dirty language in bed... *Technically, German is a dirty language, but we're referring to sexual conduct.

on reflection, am certain that my score would be in the high 90s if you'd asked me the same questions when I was in my 20's living the high life as a singleton in NYC! I mean, where else do you meet someone at the tennis courts after work on Friday, go to their halloween fancy dress party the the next evening, and end up spending Sunday brunch with their cross dressing masseuse friend and his opera singer mates on a roof terrace? All because of a comment about their cool tennis kit or something equally banal...ahh. Thank God I'm married with children now.

So who's next to pop anyway? I lost track!

Bumper - That bit about 'you thinking you are above it all' sounds so familiar!
I suppose what my family have taught me is that we all express ourselves in different ways - some explosively others quietly. My mum doesn't quite get this!
I think because I turned to my studies as a way of blocking out all the dramatic family rows - my mum and my brother assumed I that I was looking down my nose at them - like I was / am thinking I am superior to them and their trivial arguments!
I never understood it when I was at school - but now on reflection - it says a lot more about their issues and insecurities than mine!! They obviously did (and sometimes still do) feel a bit stupid about themselves??!!
I don't mind confrontation - but I very rarely raise my voice. I am very very careful about what I say and have been told I am extreemly assertive rather than agressive and stroppy.
I have been told I can be intimidating as I always seem so in control when all about me seem to loose their heads - I think that's cos I have grown up in a house where there was very little sanity and calm and now VERY little now phases me.

Lets stick 'em all on an island in the middle of the pacific some DKMA!

Sounds like you used to live in Will & Grace lilkel!!

Why am I such an idiot? I've had terrible HB all day and I go and make spicy bean casserole for dinner! Now I feel like I've swallowed a kettle full of boiling water! Loser!

Sounds like a plan Bumper!

Strangely my mum has just phoned me and was really nice! Thinkin she's been on here and rumbled me!?

To be positive - my mum is also one of my biggest hero's. She has dealt with so much shit in her life and nothing nor no-one can keep her down. She's one of the bravest people I know and I have the most respect for her on so many levels. Sometimes I do look about at other 'normal' mums and think nope - I wouldn't swop my mum! She's full of personality and life and has led a life most women her age would only read about in some Jilly Cooper book or something!

Not a bad old tart really!!

eeerm - just want to point out that my score of 81% was mainly made up of actions I had carried out prior to my relationship with DH!!!!

Just aswell I met him really - otherwise I think I might had ended up in some real trouble (STD / Arrested for indecent behaviour etc etc)

Same as DKMA,mine may be a 46 yr old lezzer shopaholic (who doesn't own a house or have a pension - eek!) but it makes for some interesting conversations about her, and she has been through a lot of shit. The most important thing is I always knew that if I'd come to her and said I was gay/had an abortion/was pg as a teen or anything like that she would always have understood.

Actually, I think for a while she actually wanted me to be gay - conversation in the car on the way back from uni

Mum: You if you want to bring any boyfriends home - or girlfriends - you know that's ok.
Me: Ok, but you know I'm not a lesbian mum?
Mum: I know, I know, I just want you to know it's ok if you are...

It's exactly like that ab fab episode where edina wants to believe Saffy is gay rather than just a virgin! My mum just wanted a reason why I hadn't had a boyfriend!

PMSL bumper!
Are we related?????
My mum actually told me she'd rather I was gay (years ago) and said she wished she was gay herself as life would have been so much easier for her!!! LOL

My mum does have a house - which she keeps re-mortgaging! But also has no pension!!!!

Same as you too on the abortion / other such issues thing - she would have been great! A drama she relish on!

I have never told my mum about me experimenting with drugs tho - she would have just been too proud and boasted to all her friends!!!! Silly isn't it! She'd never let me live it down tho - after the time I bollocked her for being out all night at a rave and taking an E and thinking she was dying the next day!!?

Your mum did that DKMA??? Classic!!!

Lol DKMA - it's good to find someone else who understands. My mum would h just love to be able to counsel (sp?) me through things. Interesting thing will be to see how our experiences make us as mothers. I have spent my whole life trying to not be like my mum, but I find now that I say things that she would say!

Anyway, I think we might have scared everyone else off with our tales - dammit our secret's out, they'll know we're abnormal now!

Are you all secretly characters from tv shows? Lilkel is from Will & Grace and Bumper and DKMA are from AB Fab! I, however, am not from a tv show, my life is far too boring! There would be no viewers!

Yep - have been wondering what kind of mother I'll make!!!?

Do you think BadZelda feels better about her mum now??

I reckon we've not only scared everyone else off - but they've gone to give their 'lovely' mums a big hug and thank them for not being mentalist like ours!!

I'm planning on borrowing Holly's mum . She sounds great. Mine is crap .

The best thing she did for me was to teach me how not to do motherhood!

I am very lucky! She lives 5 mins up the road as well and is the bestest grandma in the world!

That's Foxy, but you are a great mum - which is the most important thing!

Aw, thanks hun!

And you know that come the antenatal thread DKMA and I are going to be running to you for advice every two minutes!

DKMA, going off on another subject - what's the latest on your pelvis? Where did you get to with the "experts"?

BTW, no word from Derlor today. >

Yep
I remember a while ago Bumper and I were stressing about 'how will we know if we are going to be alright once we have these babies - will we know what to do?'
Thinkin this stems from our dodgy role models!!
So foxy ...... stand by ....... we'll have questions!! and lots of them!!!!

Oh the pelvis!!

Experts are happy now baby in correct position - no longer transverse.

The plan is to go for a natural labour but to keep a close eye on how things progress.
If progression isn't going to plan - or baby doesn't progress through pelvis happily then a c-section will be done reasonably early - rather than push it too long and enter an 'emergency' senario.

So it's still a wait and see situation. Good sign tho that have no pevlic pain so far!

No pressure then..!

Anytime, am always happy to help, answer questions, impart words of wisdom or generally be Mother Superior

That sounds really promising DKMA! Am really pleased they are going to let you give it a go.

RIght, DP home, best bugger off as he wants the PC tonight.

Have good nights all xxx

That's good news dkma! It's great that you can give it a go, hopefully it'll all go really well, fingers crossed!

Yep, I'm pretty happy with that plan - just want to get on and do it now!!

Am chuckling to myself at mo cos I have sent DH around to our neighbours house to give them a key so they can see to our dog / cats in case we have to dash off to the hospital in the middle of the night and have a baby at any point (they offered ages ago).
I have sent him around there because I couldn't face it! They are sooo lovely and the kindest people in the world, and are about 150 yrs old! - but they love to talk - and once in their house it's nearly impossible to leave!
He's been in there about an hour!!!!!!!!
I know he will be trying to politely make his way to the door about now cos he'll be hungry - he's not had any dinner yet. Also he always gets really hot and bothered when he's in there! - He thinks their house is like a hobbits den and is always heated to the max!
Bless him!
