    Technically, yes. I lost my baby before she was born though. But I still like to class myself as a mum

    That's such a sad thing to have to deal with and I am sorry for your loss.

    I am lucky to be a mum to two fantastic little girls that just seem to be getting bigger every day. My oldest is 10 and my baby is just 3 years old and she's such a little terror! To be truthful I am actually finding beiing a parent quite tough. Lately I feel like I am just always telling them 'no' and to stop doing things that I think are unacceptable. Also because of the age gap between the two, I am finding it increasingly difficult to satisfy them both when it comes to play times.

    Now I really nderstand what my own mum went through with my sister and I. When she comes around to visit she is constantly laughing at me and says I sound just like she did when we were kids. Truly I am turning into my mother! lol

    Ohhh bubble I totally understand where you are coming from I have 3 children of my own and 3 more that are 'looked after' children so I have x2 6 year olds, 10 year old, 12 year old and x2 13 year olds.
    If I had a penny for everytime I say 'no' 'thats not nice' 'stop that' ' appologise now please' then I think I would be a millionaire....and like you too I sound just like my mother aaarrrggghhh lol

    I am a single mother of 2. A 2 1/2 year old girl and a 1 year old boy, dad helps financially and tries to be good dad but does not set a very good example for my kids. I hate that things turned out this way but gotta look past it and move on to better things.

    Maybe we could stick our mom pennies together and buy a mansion! I'm sure we would be very wealthy ladies. :D

    Sometimes, I feel like the bad guy when I have to say no to my daughter. She's still very young, but extremely headstrong and hard to manage. Most times, she has her own way. I'm lucky she's such a cooperative kid.
