evening all, had a knackering day. out at 9.30 to walk to bounce & rhyme, half an hour's walk, then on to bumps & babes where the girl going to my postnatal group suggested going for a sarnie in the park then walking to the group which took 50 mins, then the dentist lady didn't turn up to the group so we just chatted then i went to one of the girl's hoses for a few cuppas and fortunately dh picked me up coz it would have taken me an hour and a half to walk home. I'm farking knackered, so is dd!
derlor, glad you are back. hope mr derlor is ok. good FB move though, it'd make your hair curl if you knew what info some people could get, even with your privacy settings, hence my reluctance.
TA, dkma & ria, don't want to drag it all on, but just wanted to say well done for being honest, in some ways it is easier to be honest on line, to our detriment sometime...
the step parent/absent parent thing is a real issue isn't it, from both sides? but like you dkma i see it from the child's angle, but every situation is different too. I think it is only now that i realise parents are human and have human failings too, and to an extent,that's allowed. let's try not to mess up our own kids as much as our parents did with us! (famous last words...)
