just in general - its been one of those weeks where i have been to a lot of evening meetings and havent seen a lot of the kids - and so - i seem to like then a lot more

my son twin 2 and youngest, as soon as he sees my car from work rides as fast as the wind to beat me home so he can open my car door as a gentleman should! awwwww

my eldest son 13 and thinks he is ded 'ard lol. saw me pull up in the car today and ran out to open the door and literally pull me out cos he saw me sat there after turning the engine off ... just plain knackered! so he pulled me out and gave me a big hug awwwww

and my hearing impaired daughter twin 1 does well at school and makes me a great cuppa she is slim and tall and beautiful

and they are all great lookin', good mannered and fab and they all still give good night kisses and loves

just thought i would tell you that!

thanks all,
sorry for being so smug about my children aunt bessie - but then i can be as they are so wonderful. i think its a shame that i couldnt just have a moment

however thanks everyone else for your wonderful comments - my son obviously has the bluest eyes.

and i wouldnt love my daughter if she wasnt slim like i wouldnt love her if she wasnt perfect in any way...? for your information my daughter is perfect in every way - becuase she is my daughter if you have children you will know what i mean. her imperfections to anyone else are what makes her beautiful to me.

is large ugly in your eyes is that why you object to the term slim? do you have obviously ugly children? do you have children which you cannot be proud of in any way ? how do you define beauty? if you have children non of these things will matter - somethings obviously bothering you so see a psychiatrist you mean spirited person
aunt bessie you complete and utter prat
you coward you cant post under your real name that you know you are saying things which are out of order - maliciousness on a thread which didnt warrent it.

why dont you stick your head in some egg and batter put it in the oven until it fkin explodes?

there is something wrong with you that you cant accept a nice sentiment.

anyway that aside i would like to thank everyone again for being here to here not only my moans and gripes thats why i wanted to post sommat nice fer a change.
i know people who just moan all the time - no fun to be with

once bitten twice shy ... i am just stupid its like banging your head in a door repeatedly and wondering why it hurts!

I thought aunt bessie was the one everyone was cross at! didn't m2t say that she agreed with custy and that custy had beautiful children? it isn't m2t with her tits in the mangle is it? confused confused, must reread this post. or maybe go back to the mars bar, I've opened a bottle of wine in there if anyone wants some...

emwi · 19/06/2003 20:49

Wish I'd joined this thread at the bottom. Your kids sound great Custardo. I was very apprehensive about having a child because it sounded like such a nightmare but it's great fun, dd is lovely, and your post makes me think it might just be OK! (Agree about how much more gorgeous they are when you have been away from them for a while though!)

emwi · 19/06/2003 20:52

I'm now doubtful about having a second one though (I was never the most optimistic bunny) - anyone want to reassure me?

StripyMouse · 19/06/2003 20:58

just found this thread - lovely to read about someone feeling really positive and proud of their children. Balances out all the (often necessary) moaning that goes on by us all at some point or another. It also helped remind me how much I love my little terror - and I really do need reminding as she is desperately hard work at the moment with the terrible twos. Thanks Custy - ignore all the negativism and side tracking of the troll rubbish - plenty of us have appreciated your post so stay proud and loud!!

StripyMouse · 19/06/2003 21:01

emwi - at 19 wks pregnant I spend several minutes every day doubting our wisdom to have another and then hours and hours feeling happy and well, just really happy! At the end of the day the good just outweighs the bad by so much there is just no competition. Tricky call choosing to extend your family but I don?t think many go on to regret the decision...do they?!!

alibubbles · 19/06/2003 21:05

I posted this on another thread, but I am very proud of DD 17 at the end of April, she passed her driving test today!

Ds also passed his moped test on Saturday, his 16th birthday!

Two children, one with a car and one with a moped/scooter, my taxi bill is going to diminish overnight. Oh the freedom, and being able to have a drink at 7,00pm and not worry about taking a child somewhere!

I am sooooo proud of them both!

Rhubarb · 19/06/2003 21:05

Sorry, my reply was to M2T's post which was thus:

"I don't have any friends or family nearby either! Dunno what that's got to do with it. I don't agree with the Auntbessie BTW and I don't know if it's a troll... just in case anyone jumps down my throat.

We know you know Custy personally, but noone else here does.

Rhubarb - just how do you go about getting someone kicked off of Mumsnet?

Custy - it's great that you have such wonderful children.... it's great that we ALL have wonderful children."

And of course my post was directed at whoever Aunt Bessie might be too. I do not want to put M2T's boobies in a mangle!

princesspeahead · 19/06/2003 21:10

well since we ALL agree with custy (apart from some disagreement over whose child has the bluest eyes) and ALL think it is very amusing that aunt bessie has been left flapping around with her tits in a mangle (and her fat arse in the air), shall we declare this thread a success and have a drink?!

Rhubarb · 19/06/2003 21:15

I'm happy enough with that!

StripyMouse · 19/06/2003 21:16

mine?s a babycham with a loverly pink umberella pleeeese. - oh and one for all of you guys too (all apart from the girl with her boobies trapped in the mangle - tap water for her)

princesspeahead · 19/06/2003 21:27

hurrah! babycham all round

Ghosty · 19/06/2003 21:53

... I know this thread has been declared finished but I just wanted to say something ....
I logged on this morning and was happily reading through this to catch up and up popped auntbessie ... I couldn't believe it and felt so upset that someone could be so underhand and downright bitchy. It has to be a known mumsnetter and I just can't stand it that people abuse the nickname thing to cause trouble. And that they are so cowardly about posting what they think that they have to change their nicknames. I understand that some people change nicknames due to delicate subject and the fact that they don't want to be known (ie ... affairs etc) but to abuse that is downright crap.
Why do some people feel determined to spoil things? Custy started this thread as she was saying she was proud of her kids ... no different from any of the 'proud' threads ... and as they are all getting a bit long it was probably time for a new 'proud' thread to start. If this was a move to have a go at custy because of the 'chat' debate 2 weeks ago .... it was still below the belt. At least custy calls a spade a spade and doesn't hide behind other names.
I have to say that I am really upset ... disappointed ... quite gutted actually. Auntbessie your whole thing is stupid, petty, bitchy, cruel, upsetting, pathetic ....
And I hope the mangle really hurts ....

tigermoth · 19/06/2003 23:10

yes, I can see where you are coming from, ghosty. I have just finished reading this thread and feel sad that something so innocent could prevoke such a reply. One of the longest running mumsnet threads is called 'proud' and so many people have posted on there about milestones in their child's life.

Anyway, custardo, your children sound fab. I love those unexpected hugs and miss yous said at times when you are the most weary and wrung out. My oldest son does a great line in them too.

Rockingrosebud - what an ace boy

suedonim · 20/06/2003 04:55

Well, I've just seen Prince Charles on TV saying how proud he is of Prince William, so if it's good enough for somone as famous as him to praise his son in public, it's good enough for me to do the same here.

M2T · 20/06/2003 08:18

Oh Rhubarb - I think it is clear that I have absolutley nothing against Custardo!!?? In fact I agreed and posted what I thought were nices messages!
I don't know why you continue to drrrraaaaag this out. I just cant feckin win with you!

You're just coming across as though you have something against me. Dunno why?

So please. I had no part in dissing Custy on this thread so I'd thank you to just leave me alone!!!!

Rhubarb · 20/06/2003 14:14

Will gladly do that M2T. I just felt riled that whilst everyone else came on here in support of Custy, yours had to have a 'but' to it. So I felt compelled to justify why I needed to defend her, not that I should have to. And yes, I was very suspicious that this should have something to do with the chat debate a while ago, which really made me angry. I'm sure you can understand that. But I am a live and let live type of person, so if you are happy to let things lie, then so am I.

Demented · 20/06/2003 14:17

Lovely to hear about your kids Custardo, please keep giving us updates it's lovely to hear!

BTW I have two gorgeous boys with the brownest eyes who can be cute and sweet and lovely.

wickedstepmother · 20/06/2003 15:12

It didn't strike me that M2T was being in the least bit unsupportive and I suspect that, maybe, Rhubarb and M2T have a bit of tense history together and perhaps Rhubarb is a little over sensitive to M2Ts comments. Just an observation...

Lovely to hear praise on here, it's all gotten so mean lately. Good on you Custy, keep up the good work

RockingRosebud · 20/06/2003 21:11

Congrats to your and yours Alibubbles, great news! And to everyone else, just ignore it, purrleeese.

bunny2 · 20/06/2003 22:09

I am so glad to have the opportunity to brag about my gorgeous son. He has had a life full of pain and discomfort (severe eczema), everyday things that others take for granted make him so sore but he is the happiest and smiliest boy in the world. He has big brown eyes and I love him more than I thought possible.

M2T · 21/06/2003 11:33

Rhubarb.... my comment did not have a BUT to it. MY GOD you really have it in for me. Don't say you are happy to let it lie as an afterthought to your last posting. And by the way..... if Custy rrrrreally had a problerm with me then I am quite positive she would come right out and say it. In fact we have 'conversations' on other threads over the past week that have been extremely pleasant. but since you seem to conveniently not haqve noticed that and are intent (in a really freaky way) on painting me as the witch in this long and boring saga, you can shove yer olive branch!

M2T · 21/06/2003 11:36

Just one more thing. I am not so childish as to hold a grudge. You are and it wasn't even YOUR grudge in the first place??!

What are you all about?

Custy - please please please come back and read my posts and YOU will see that I have shown no malice! And you pal Rhuby seems to be dragging up old sh*t all over the place.

anonanon · 21/06/2003 12:36

Argggghh! PLEASE - Rhubarb and M2T - can you call a truce on this one? I don't wanna hear "well, SHE started it..." - you are both grown women and it seems to me that every posting is misinterpreted by the other as malicious and derogatory - I cannot see that Custy has objected to anyone but AuntBessie (whose boobies most definitely deserve a good mangling!)

LET IT LIE!!!

M2T · 21/06/2003 14:27

Anonanon - why have you changed your posting name to say that???

I wanted it noted that I have not misinterpreted her messages..... they were meant to pi$$ me off.

Yes I'm a grown woman. but I cannot stand back and let her make up crap about my postings.
