Sitting here worrying about a vengeful nasty situation that is hanging over our heads indefinitely. Best case scenario we have to shell out a few hundred euro, not what we need
Don't even want to think about the worst case scenario. I hate waiting, I just wish we knew either way. 0 -

And then if you DID have kids, the same people will be telling you how to bring them up.Cerulean Chicken wrote: »Hope your mum is better soon Ella x
Yeah pixiebean it's such crap, I had another friend going on and on last night, she's a funny mix, she thinks I hate her child because it's a child, but she's my friend so of course I like her kid! The fact that she is a no nonsense mum most of the time helps, kid is very well behaved. But then at the same time while we were chatting -in a niteclub, I just wanted to dance! - she was saying how cute our kids would be, omg so adorable... :rolleyes: Not my style of niteclub conversation, luckily my bro in law was there asking my opinion on various girls boobies

I think there were 4 mothers out of 7 so not a huge majority.Well I suppose if most of them were mothers it might be reasonable to assume you might be one too
Sounds like it was too much if that was it for the whole evening
I was apprehensive about going because I thought it might turn out like that as the mums hadn't seen each other for a while but was convinced to go. They were just so wrapped up in their conversation (which in fairness they were all enjoying) that it didn't occur to them that it wasn't always appropriate for the setting e.g. epidurals and dinner.
Ella - sorry your mam isn't well. It always seems to be the way in families that a few of the kids do sweet fcuk all when it comes to looking after parents. 0 -

I know I like talking about my baby and stuff but I try to keep it limited and not too much with people who don't have kids. I'll talk to other mothers about their experiences but usually off to the side, not as the main conversation in a group, if you get me.0 -

Oh absolutely, I don't mean to offend any mothers. I know parents love to talk about their kids and I do like to hear about them, but within reason.IvyTheTerrible wrote: »

I just felt like I'd crashed a mothers group night out that particular time. 0 -

Oh I know you weren't! It's just I don't understand mums who can't talk about anything else. Especially when Pancake was very small, I had the horrible smothered feeling that I wasn't a person anymore, I was just Pancake's mum (cos when people would call or visit noone asked me how I was, it was all about the baby). I am a mother, yes, so i will talk about that, but I was a person before and I am a person independent of my motherhood now. I LOVE when I can get out and talk about things that are absolutely NOTHING to do with babies!

To be fair, the mommas in tLL aren't 'those mothers'. You, Neyite, Java and Das don't blabber on 'Ohmygod, my baby blinked today. ALL ON HIS OWN!!!!' ye aren't merely relaying the day of your child, you have your own opinions and stuff you talk about and if your child is part of your day then you're gonna talk about it. You're not braindead, only talking about your child!
TLDR: We're lucky the mommas in here aren't silly.

I'm smiling at this post. It's completely true and if anything you (mam's) do only mention it in passing and it's other posters, myself included that want to know more. its funny really, how could you ever explain to a non LL that we know your babies as pancake, oreo etcDon't wana do this stupid feis anymore :mad:
I'm hoarse
Ah you'll be gald you did it. A nurse recommeded a great cure to me - egg whites mixed in a glass with glysterin (spelling prob completely off!) is supposed to be gd for the vocal cords.
Well I'm having a very chilled relaxing weekend. Did huge spring clean of my place and its so pretty now Went out for a quiet one last night and a nice nightcap. All good in da hood 0 -

I lolled That's totally going to be my sarcastic response when I'm forced to endure hours of Mammytales on nights out.
I had a most excellent Paddys Day- stayed in all day, OH was gone overnight so I had my mammy up and we just chilled out doing nothing.0 -

Delighted you had a good experience! And now at least you know what the level is, you have a good year to prepare!I was so nervous when starting I choked twice. How humiliating. But the judge was lovely and said don't worry take your time.
But once I got properly going I really got into it and it went very well. Not a fcuking scratch on the others, but it was great experience and next year I might be actually able to compete. Some of them there are doing degrees like 0 -
Lol apparently everyone else introduced themselves first and said what they were singing, I was so scared I didn't think to :pac:
my family are being very nice and supportive and i think they genuinely liked it, even my grandmother :pac:
doing the casual concert on Friday, I'm looking forward more to that though
It'll be good to see my comment sheet! I think I'll have to wait a week or so, you can hang around there and get it but I was defo running straight out the door after0 -
