i moved away from family and friends and do not know anyone it is so different from one minute at college with loads of friends going out clubbing etc to baby talk and nappies

I'll bet!! You'll find loads of support, and hopefully friends on here though. I left my husband last November and it does feel like a totally different world talking to some people about drinking, going out etc and then going out shopping for exciting things like feeder cups and cupboard locks!!

I'm an older mum, well 27 with a 3 year old and a nearly 2 year old. And I still miss talking about clubbing, clothes, make up etc. Most of my firends are from mums group now so all you do talk about is nappies, jabs, bottles etc. All I want is a weekend of just me and dh being us and not mummy and daddy. Is that alot to ask??

wobblyknicks · 12/10/2004 15:55

Don't worry, its not too personal. We were together since I was 17 and married for nearly 3 years.

woodpops please tell me 27 isn't old coz I am 27 too

I'm 27, with a 7 month old, and the first of my pals to have a baby, so know what it is like to be in the midst of conversations about clubbing/travelling to exotic places etc and making me feel ancient!

yes just the one - don't possess the patience or organisations skills for more than one!

wobblyknicks · 12/10/2004 16:02

jenny - its actually been far easier coping on my own than it was coping with my ex!! I live with my parents atm so that gives me some extra support, in addition to some extra grief!!! I mainly cope by being completely insane

woodpops · 12/10/2004 16:04

I didn't think 27 was old until I red this. I suppose if they're young mums at 21 that must make me an old mum at 27!!!

jenny - I thought I couldn't live with mine again and they do try to control my life but in the end it was that or a council b&b, so it seemed like the best option. Am getting a lot of things sorted, then will be off at the first chance!!!

woodpops · 12/10/2004 16:07

Agree with you Jenny, I could never live with my parents again. I think me and my mum would kill each other if we lived together. She constantly naggs me as it is so I dread to think what she'd be like if I lived with her!!!

i told my mum i wanted another baby as i dont want such a big gap between my kids and she told me i was stupid although my marriage is as steady as a rock and im old enough to make my own decisions

You go for it and have them close together. There's only 16 months between mine and although it's bloody hard work it's lovely to see them playing together.

My mum decided she wanted to look after my kids 1 afternoon a week. Which she does, but every week she rings me at work to bitch about absolutly nothing. If I've left a dirty mug in the washing up bowl before I leave for work. I'm dirty and not house proud. ds crushed a biscuit on the kitchen floor as we were leaving the other week so I didn't have time to tidy it up. Because of that I'd left the house in a state. The flaming house was imaculate. Nothing I ever do is good enough for my mother!!!
