APRIL 2008 - The One Where They Can Eat Food & Shoes & Toys ........

[FrankenSoph73]

Thought as the messages were coming in thick & fast I´d start new thread. Don´t know if it´ll work though. Fingers crossed.

love this one too - prob not for your occasion, but just anyway. ah man, you've now made me long for an occasion to dress up to. do you think rhyme time will frown upon me if I turn up like this??

Weird length IMHO

Oh and no milk, just the milk in the bottles - alpro? Chocolate one.

Mail-order?

Could you decount each day?

oooohhhh I love that dress Sal

oh and emailed you peachy

Mimi ate a whole pouch of strawberry & apple AFTER her tea tonight! Fatty

Quote of the week: Peachy has a different perspective on your hoodie-clad teenage trick or treater: "He's not a beggar, he's a very scary booooooy."

Oh that one

thank God

Oh tahnks scorpio BTW

Stunning dress Peachy! I think it would look fab on you!

I am oddly excited that i have a proper period!!

sorry! it does hurt though

FFS

More teenage mother bashing on MN.

Oh yes, we are all useless

Hi Scorpio,

I seem to remember you were wondering what to do about Mimi's night feeds. You've probably sorted it now but FWIW, we started the dream feed again too, so I do it before I go to bed, and I am reducing it little by little each day. But she's never hungry when she wakes up, so I am pretty sure she'd go 12 hours (but I'm too scared of having to get up at 4am to risk it!)...

I promised the HV that I'd get A weighed today as she was losing weight before, but since the vomit bug she has really lost her appetite, won't take solids at all so I know she's going to be even further down the chart, so I am not going to go. AIBU? I think it'll just make me worry, when I know she's OK,its just a little blip...

Mimi sleeps good again now thanks though!

i wouldn't go either FWIW

Who's teenage mother bashing? I hope you've given them what for Scorpio, you're a fantastic mum and you never cease to amaze me how you do it all and keep your sanity! You've done so much more than me and I'm 10 years older... (ok am going to stop now as I feel v v old)

I am ignoring it - I feel comfortable enough in my own skin with it; but i really dislike the way we all get tarred as benefit seeking uneducated young women, who have little idea on the basics of child rearing and no partners to share it with us. People are going on that the reason teenage parents get pg in the first place is lack of education - err yes some of 'us' do, but others know exactly what we are doing.... IMO you can be a crap parent at 15 or 45. I was a teenage parent twice over, and actually sat my GCSEs at 16 pg.

I havent even posted on that thread. its in AIBU.

I am a benefit-seeking woman with little idea on the basics of child-rearing, and I'm 35 .

Don't blame you.

George's hair is bouffant today. Think I'm going to have to get it cut soon.

Exactly my point!!

It feels like if younger women are that, then they are frowned upon as being the scrapings of society's barrel.

Oh but if you are older, then no comment.

Odd, i find. Yes, i do realise that lots of teenage parents are 'feckless', but I am not, and neither are the majority of other teenage parents i know.

Am i sad that i have the hair from my dcs first haircuts??

noooo not sad, I'm planning to do the same! A lock at least.

Bouffant boy just now... front and back

NO dont cut it! is lovely!

I don't want to cut it, but the front's nearly in his eyes and doesn't always stay swept over to the side (he has a natural quite severe side parting). And sometimes he looks like he's wearing a wig

DD1 still hasn't had a haircut and she's 3 at Christmas! DD2 has a bit more - in fact she's got quite a bad combover thing going on and looks a bit like Hitler (without the 'tache)

Teenage mother thing - it is really unfair that those of us who are older and got pregnant by accident, don't get any shit, but what makes me admire / worry about some teenagers who get pregnant is that it must be so very hard for them, and I wonder whether lots of them realise what they will be giving up and how tough it will be. I know I couldn't have done it. But then, there's people like you scorpio, who seem to be so mature and into children, and it sounds as if you really have it sorted. I think those of us who weren't sorted as teenagers find it hard to understand that thee are some mature teens out there, who can manage. (dunno if that makes sense...sleep deprived, not because of dds but because of fecking cat)

If he was a girl, I'd be having a lovely time with sparkly hair clips. Maybe next time!

I know what you mean, TSC. I do know some where everything has fallen apart, yes. I do feel quite sorted though

Mimi has a tufty bit on the back of head but not enough for hairclips yet, lol. I cannot wait until she does have enough hair!

She had baby parsnips with the rest of her dinner last night and loved loved loved them, so cute.

Geting a bit worried about work down here - no building stuff around at the minute...getting worried.
