Spacecadet is currently having to deal with more than anyone should ever have to deal with in a lifetime.

She has experienced over the last few months a stillbirth, serious illness, looking after with no help a house full of children and a consequence a husband who has walked out.

Please can we do something positive and practical to help spacey out over the next few months.

Lovely mumsnet have said that they will give out the details of their po box address so that any of us that feel so generously inclined could rustle up a few quid to go into a nanny fund or an au pair fund or so that we can find a company that make lovely homemade food and deliver it to her every week.

Please support me on this - If everyone gave just £1 we'd be able to offer some amazing help to SC.

I'm sorry Spacey if you are angry with me for starting this thread - I know you are proud and you have coped admirably with everything - but please just accept that we want to help.

I will post details of who to make cheque payable to and where to send it, just as soon as I have the details. In the meantime, please look behind your cushions on your sofa and in the bottom of your handbag amongst the fluff to dig out those coins.

Thank you so much
DHW

spacecadet · 23/01/2006 11:01

im signing off for a few hours now as i have my internet shop to do and tax credits forms etcf to fill in, will catch you later

Not sure what to say about DD1, she is a teenager and that is the way it is unfortunately.

She would be a doddle if you didn't have so much on your plate.

Do not react to her, you need all your energy to put one foot in front of the other.

Whatever you do, do not allow her to think that H going has a hint of permanence about it or she will try and walk all over you, it is what teenagers do.

It may be worth pointing out to her, that you are a very very easy going mother in comparision, to me. What did she call me on Saturday ?? Oh yes, nice but scary...........

Interested in this thread?

remember spacey... you can always send her to me for a weekend. I'm used to teenagers in all shapes and forms and that includes all manner of issues.

Oh and their issues don't make you a bad mother.
