Any London mums of mixed-race babies fancy meeting up?

[Zinger]

I'm in N1.

Sorry have not been in touch. I mainly log on at work and only work mon-wed. Too knackered in the evenings. Anyway yes I'm up for meeting on a Thur or Fri. My DD is 13months!

OK, how about Thu 25 or Fri 26 at 3ish?

Thursday is better for me. Need to ensure dh will be back on time to do the school run or that the girlies are out to tea with friends

okay guys i am being totally rubbish, dd is a much better morning person, she sleeps till 3 in the afternoon! But don't worry about it as cannot do 25th anyway! Have fun!

I will try my best to turn up at the next one! Out of interest how many of your friends have mixed race children or are in mixed relationships?

I know quite a few, but that might just be because I'm in London. I know lots of same race couples as well.

25th is good for me. Can't do 26th.
I know lots of mixed races couples too!
Have we decided where? How many are up for it?

Having gotten all enthused about meeting up, guess what? I can't meet up on the 25th. DH is shortstaffed at work and so can't pick up children, and we are out that evening. SORRY . If you all do get together have a fab time, but try to meet up again in the New Year. School events galore in December.

OK, let's forget the dates I suggested. Somebody please suggest alternatives! Yingers, you and I may be destined not to meet for the time being as I can only do afternoons (unless it was very local - N1)

What time of day works best for everyone else?

Normally I can do any day except Friday (I have lunch with the girls). Mornings are best so that I don't have to arrange after school pickups etc, but I'm easy about doing an afternoon. (Once again MarsLady successfully avoids making a decision)

Looks like DD may be in the process of dropping her morning nap, in which case we could do a morning too.

Please somebody suggest a date - I've tried already

I'll try to fit in with whatever you suggest

Hi there - fairly new to mumsnet - and so new to this topic so pardon me for just butting in here - just seen it and can't leave it alone now- (OK I admit my shame - at first I thought why do mums of mixed race children have to meet seperately? or together? but having read the thread and had a thought I'm not in contact with any other couples with mixed race child/children, I still know a few very old friends from school days but rarely see them or their kiddies. So I'm interested if thats ok with you guys - and a couple of suggestions - what about meeting in a Gym / Leisure centre - they usually have play areas for the kids and restuarant and quiet area for parents and those of us with the younger ones - also Christmas is coming ever closer so perhaps we might like to make it a Christmassy or even new year kind of affair e.g. early December or early January? Marslady - very impressive and twins too, I only have one dd (so far!!)

Sounds good to me heymissy

Glad you worked out that we weren't an exclusive club heymissy. We just want to see how someone else's kids look lol. Could poss. do early December. So, choose a date, but don't let me dictate it. I have far to many children to ever have a really convenient time. I'll work around you. By the way heymissy, welcome . Don't worry, you may only have 1 now, but 5 isn't too big a step lol

How about in the new year? I know this is far away but will give us time to agree on somewhere and a date

agreed

Are there any new year events aimed at kiddies? I keep looking in those listings mags, but everything is aimed at 3 up! Hoping the new year might bring us something suitable.

For those in West London - there is a very friendly father christmas at Kew gardens that i plan to take my dd to see - anyone welcome to join us. It'll be a Thurs or Fri. There is also childrens cafe in chiswick.

i might try kew in the next week or so! Recognise your name, embee, ealing thread i think?

hi guys,

hope you don't mind if i join you, i have DS1 (3)ans DS2 (6weeks).

I am mixed black/white and DH is fijian/german, Flying the united mations flag here !!

the more the merrier! now all we need to do is find a place to go and a suitable time!

Come on, I suggested both and got nowhere, someone else have a go .... go on, live dangerously!

science musuem? there is a play area in the basement and a eating area, and entry is free! Have only been once before but it seemed fun! Date anytime in the new year?

I'd really like to meet up also. My husband and I are both mixed race I'm asian/english and husband is greek/irish.

piximon - welcome, just need to figure out place and time now (the hard part)!
