yoh yoh yoh!!!
Had such a good read now! Now for my 2c (ook maar goed ek het nie ingelog nie)
This is a public forum yes! BUT like most of the golden oldies members said... we have been together since our babies were like 6 weeks in our tummies. We went through everything together, the morning sickness, the moods, the fights, the uncomfortable stages, the births, the maternity leave, the first few months and here we are now that our babies are turning into little toddlers.
Yes we are very close and we do share alot - maybe sometimes overshare lol

(specially me) i have probably been mouning for the last year and half now about my dumbass BF who doesnt want to ask me to marry him.... you ladies kept me calm until eventually he did ask me! There has just been so much that we have done together. We are a family!
But unfortunately I also dont feel so "comfortable" anymore just telling all my life drama om Moomie anymore. And believe u me...my life is quite exciting in the drama department. Especially now, Its worse because of the other people from the other groups reading our chats now after this whole drama. I have nothing against the ladies that have joined but just remember that it wont be easy to just walk in and be everyones best friend. Trust and respect are 2 things you have to earn, we all know each other. We know the history and the husbands and the kids and the MIL"s. i think the main problem is that we dont feel so comfortable anymore coming on here and being able to vent. Like Elsa said...not so long ago Aribeth also went through the same thing because she was a bit judgemental and just popped in now and again to leave her advice. We did kak her out but now its is fine (i think)!
I also dont feel like I want to come chat anymore because of who might be reading! is sad because I use to rush to work to come post and skinner now its all just reached a low...
