January 2010 mommies

Im going to start taking it personally now... Aribeth not replying to what I had to say!!

JUST kidding Aribeth!! Its Friday, lets stop being so serious!

I agree with Elsa. I dont always respond to each and every post, does that mean everyone should be feeling left out?? When someone comes on i dont say "Goodmorning, how was your evening blah blah " to every single moomie!
I think you are a bit too sensitive.
But, let me just add this. I will rather tip toe around you coz i really dont feel like a cat fight or nasty "non sugar coated" comments from you.

We all come here to vent and sometimes we just want to hear, ag it will all be ok, we arent always looking for the hard core truth!

Ps: a wise man once said: if you cant say something nice, rather say nothing at all.

Aribeth, I feel you are taking this all too personally. Noone was in a chatting mood yesterday and all you said was hi? How are we suppose to respond to that and show interest???

I admire you for being able to look after Seth and Leah and not once has any of us looked down on you for being a struggling single mom and everything else you are referring to. So Saying "I feel less than worthy with you girls because I don’t have a husband and cant buy the fancy things you all buy." Isnt fair because noone of us have ever tried to make you feel unworthy.

I come here to chat when I am feeling down and just need some girl ears to listen. So maybe I am taking this overboard but I just feel left out, like I am ignored because you ladies think I am a full of kak know it all b1tch but I have raised 2 kids on my own and they are both perfect healthy happy kids. I saw things as they are and yes my opinions are strong and may be blunt and abrupt but that’s just me. My situation and experiences have made me that way, Sugar coating them and not saying exactly how I feel has gotten me nowhere in life. I just don’t see the point in sugar coating things or saying its okay when I don’t think it is. I cant change the way I am. I battle to relate to you ladies most of the time. I am not rich and cant afford fancy baby cloths and toys, but my kids have everything they need. I think I have done pretty well so far. I feel less than worthy with you girls because I don’t have a husband and cant buy the fancy things you all buy. I don’t have a husband and I don’t have lots of friends, Hayley and Jellybaby are my only 2 real friends, I just want my posts to be acknowledged, to be commented on, I comment on your posts, I show interest and it feels like mine are just over looked because I have an “attitude”. I am a difficult person I know. Its just how circumstances have moulded me. Take what I say and sugr coat it for yourselves if you want. Anyways, had my say, had a cry, will put on my big girl pants now.

My daughter’s name is Leah, she was born on 28 dec natural birth, 3kg, 47cm. I have a son of 3, Seth, also natural, 2.9, 50cm. No teeth yet for Leah but Seth only cut his first at 9 and a half months. My kids are my all, they don’t give me reason because they are my reason. I live for them. They are all I have and I am all they have.

Morning everyone,

Glad we have some new moomies joining us! Welcome girls!

Not much to report on this side, just another day in paradise. Hoping to leave early! Havent done anything for the day so its really a waste being here.

Leandi is in such a good mood the last couple of days, bit loud but a good mood. Talks to herself, reciting all the words she knows, mamma, pappa, oupa, ouma, babba. And she gets very angry when you interrupt her, soo cute.

Rocco, Leandi also pulls a face like Riley, i just havent caught her on camera. I call it her chinese face.
