Mumsnet Little Italy 2

Everyone's welcome

invited my friend and ME even, sorry.

DD is fine tbh. i think she was just tired.

. Oh, that's lovely. No, I don't think I would have gone for it at 18... (ginissima emoticon). maybe with river phoenix. Mind you, I didn't go for it at 27 when a really cute model was clearly available. sono una frana. che bello pero' pippi!

i am in awe! the outsiders is wonderful! nice to know that he was a down to earth guy. i will dream on for the rest of the afternoon. ahhhhhhhhh!

Which model?
Why everybody seems to have really sexy "pretendenti" and me only pissed morons?

A Jason something, very cute adn young . But as usual I missed the chance. Apart from that I have a vast (it's actually quite limited) collection of morons.

oh me too hotmed. this is the highlight of my 'pulling' career. the rest are probably the same guys that tried with you and franca before.

this conv has cheered me up a bit. i'm having una giornata nera!! it's prob due to lack of sleep and hormones but I feel crap and everything is awful!! can't wait to go to bed.

so how long have you two been with your DH/DP?

Too long!

I want to go to beeeeed!!!!!!

can I take paracetamol? my head is killing me and I feel a bit shivery...

rosa, I promise won't touch vongole.

yes, you can take paracetamol sweetie. go to bed as early as you can. Is the nausea gone?

thanks franca. I will take it now and go to bed as soon as I can. [miserable emotincon.

Sounds as if you have a bug! It is the beginning of autumn, so to be expected. I am on my 2nd tummy bug, luckily ds is able to go to school!Watching Nigella express tonight, she makes everythng looks so easy...

I've just got over my 1st cold. Damn! I forgot about Nigella!

I took the paracetamol and I feel much better. i think i am overtired tbh. i need a good sleep without dd in the bed fidgeting and taking all the space.

today i am so envious of all you SAHM!!!

I hate Nigella (sorry!).

don't be. at least not of me. I'm the most frustrated sah mother in the whole world. I also feel incredibly guilty for it, and feel inadequate...
tonight ds cried, as he doesn't want to leave his school to go back to Italy

we'll never win will we? whatever we do we always feel inadequate and our kids will make us feel bad for it.
working f/t is not good as you don't have time withdc, p/t feels as if you are doing nor one nor the other well, if I won't work I am scared I'd run out of patience with the dc very ofter and rely too much on DH (emotionally) and DH will feel he can do nothing around the house.

My horoscope on the metro paper today said 'stop focusing on the few bad things silly cow (my addition) and look at all the good things you have'. for once the star seem to have struck right!

will you find a job when back in milan?

poor DS. I am sure he'll love it there. really.

the grass is always greener, I was thinking about you franca today and was very jealous imagining you all organised and your house decent and having fun with the dc instead of running like a lunatic and paniking about what DD can have for dinner because one week the fridge is empty and the next if overfull with food that will go off etc...

i am such a moaner when pg I feel for DH (who is always in the same mood even when he's stopped smoking. bless)

Well organised? Mois? PMSL! No, I'm a total disaster. I waste 90% of my time daydreaming. Organising things in my head and never get round doing them.
Yes, the grass is always greener. I do feel like I lost some "opportunities" careerwise, and this is just another of the many things that make me scontenta about myself. I will def try to look for a job in Milan.
I've always believed I would have been this great mother etc etc, but the reality is that I find it quite tricky. I feel at times trapped, not by the children, who are lovely afterall, but probably by myself. Oh go i'm ranting. I should go to bed

ohh, io passato la serata a leggere ofsted reports, che noia! che lavoro puoi trovare a Milano Franca?

ofsted reports? are you crazy
God, I don't know. I suppose that if I really wanted to i could manage to work during fashion week/salone del mobile etc. But I'm not very keen.
I want to look into the possibility of training as a midwife, as I've been wanting to do it here for ages, but I didn't have enough childcare. I'm also considering training to be maestra elementare. I also want to find out if there's some kind of voluntary organization for supporting lonely mothers. Bah, I'm completely all over the place......

when is he starting hotmed?

vi ho annoiato cosi' tanto???

Comincia l'anno prossimo, e' a nursery ora.
Ho tradotto tantissimo oggi, sono contenta. Ora cena e telly.

buonasera. well I feel I've missed out on more education. I wanted to do an MA and a PHD but DD put everything on hold.
I don't think being a mum has interfeared much with my career. I never knew what I wanted to do and if I did I did not know how to get it. my poor career choices are all down to me, regardless for the arrival of DD.
I do not regret this as I am very happy with my life anyway.
certainly without it I'd be in a higher position but it was already in a job that is just an office job IYSWIM. even if I were on a higher post I still won't use any part of my brain that I would want to. I just feel that my brain is a bit wasted... I want to study more, read books discuss culture LEARN! hopefully when the kids are older. (Oh my, I do sound old and resigned...)
