Mid 30s TCC Gin Palace

[SkaterGrrrrl]

Welcome everyone from the old 'Mid 30s and TTC for the first time' thread. And welcome newbies too. Don't mind the poster in the corner dipping pregnancy test sticks into her glass of gin.

Small is trying to read my tattoo. It says 'LOVE' in big typewriter-style letters.

He's busy saying 'dats a number 4,dats a number 8,dats a...'

which is actually very clever for a 17 month old.tho I appreciate it may not sound very much so.

cosmo I fancy doing a new baby card that says ' WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU DONE????'

lmao

I once saw a 40th birthday card with a retro 1940s very happy looking glam lady holding her finger to her lips saying:

"Oooh, I forgot to have children!"

Who the feck would you buy that for?!

They say having a child is like flinging a hand grenade into a marriage.

Me and DP are going to try to have him working part-time during my year mat leave, and after that we're hoping to both work part-time to share the pain joy.

Unless he has high-tailed it to Canada by them

Skaterr my next-door neighbours still dance around their kitchen together after 6 kids.

My aunt and uncle hold hands.

My own parents don't talk to each other (like, ever, except my mam screams at him every now and then ).

So basically tis horses for courses.

They say good things about that book, Babyproofing Your Marriage (can't remember exact title, too lazy to go and look). One fo these days when I get my head and loins around this issue I may have take a look at it.

Maybe me and dp should have read that one...

We seem to have somewhat lost the ability to support each other at the mo.

Ho hum all peaks n troughs innit.would like a peak soon please.and a decent night's sleep in order to gain a sense of perspective.

My mum n dad started going out at school (she 15 he 16). Dated for 6 years,married in 1970.3 kids and 39 years of marriage on they still love each other to pieces.which has given me a warped sense of relationships obviously!

But what if nobody wants to marry you you are not married

Snap trig I am also not worth a proposal

My (university educated, middle class, 29 tear old) PREGNANT colleague is eating a pot noodle for lunch!

Christ. If I am every lucky enough to conceive, I will eat actual food with actual nutrients instead of that shit.

Babyproofing your marriage book

To be fair,the baby may be giving her strict instructions to eat it/anything else may make her spew.

My boy used to positively demand tiramisu.and lots of it

"Skaterr my next-door neighbours still dance around their kitchen together after 6 kids. My aunt and uncle hold hands."

Awwww. My parents divorced acrimoniously years ago and don't talk either & DH's dad died when he was a kid, so neither of us really has a template of what a happy marriage is.

OHMIGOD just realised I am unmarried and pregnant. Oh please dear god will he propose? I've been waiting so longggg!

I only slept with him in the hope he'd put a ring on my finger. What are the neighbours going to think.

the above was frimly tongue in cheek, as if i have to tell you lot.

Skaterrr, the next door neighbours (actually not my neighbours now, but from the family home) are the biggest pains in the holes in every other way.

But they are my template.

Agree with nolongerchunky on the potnoodles thing.

My BOC seems to hate strawberries and cheddar, tow of my faves. We're at odds already, it's going to be swell...

Dear me, I had no idea you lot were such a bunch of moral reprobates.

Yeah, well, I may be unmarried but at least I'm not PREGNANT!!!

Oh, hang on a minute...

Good lord am I mixing with Unmarried Mothers

I think you are all fast. I expect you wear lipstick and rouge too.

lol@"fast"

Funny, when I was pg I told my cousin, she asked how I was going to tell my dad given that I'm UNMARRIED .

Thankfully the goalposts have moved and what would once have sent shockwaves racing from suburban London to the Highlands... well these days I think they'd take anything which allows them to be grandparents. Especially given that my sister calls her rescue mutt her son.

Is it that her son looks like a rescue mutt, or that she actually has a second hand dog?

Hi preggers ladies, how's it going? We seem to have forgotten all about you since all this shrivelled ovaries chat! So c'mon, let's have the symptoms so we can all be very smug about being barren old hags who are way past it un-pregnant.

pudding can I borrow your son? He sounds way cute. He'd get on very well with my dawg too - he's the same age, a big fan of licking faces and also an abysmal speller. They could have a big fat lick-off and then a spelling comp maybe?

Nocoffeenoworkee had lots of lovely coffee today, and actually did lots of work. I think it's because I'm a-gettin me some goooood A game this week

....stupid formatting not working, booo

let's hope you don't have as much trouble formatting your OH [perve emoticon]
