Welcome to the new thread everyone

All newbies and lapsed members welcome!

Need a kick up the bum or a shoulder to cry on, this could be the thread for you.

CC - Happy Birthday to your DS

I have exercised, it is too bloody hot. Must go and shower and then wake DS up.

Yes CC, Happy Birthday to him what about when they were small?

I always think that about the Duggars, all very well now with the older ones helping out and her 'buddy' system, but what about when they were all young, she would've had something like
DS1 6
DT1&2 4
DD2 3
DD3 2
DD4 1
DS3 newborn
How did she cope then???
