MSE Parents Club Part 10

A question about : MSE Parents Club Part 10

This is a continuation of the Parents Club part 9 which can be found HERE. Part 9 was eventually closed due to the length of it

All parents are welcome, mums & dads with children of any age. We're also happy to help people who just have questions about kids, even if you don't have any yet.

This is a place of mutual support, so feel free to ask and answer whatever you want. Feel free also just to moan if that will help!

Suggestions to keep the thread running smoothly
Put questions or anything you don't want to be missed in bold and or colour
Put an indication of age of child either in signature or in posts where it is relevent for people to understand/reply to a post.
If you don't get a response to something, post it again.
If you are replying to someone, make sure you either quote them or use their name so that if they don't read through everything they can find your post.

• shameless repeat of my post on the old thread after you'd all moved :
  ooooh news from me. I think I have found a nice part-time CM for Fergie (probably 2 afternoons a week for the last couple of weeks of PG and at least first few months of Kester being here.)
  It is a bit of a non-essential since I will be here, but I feel I'm a bit limited by my bump and would like to rest more. He loves practise walking with me holding hands, but my back is complaining a lot!
  I also felt that I asked a lot of DH and my parents when Fergie was new and I'd like to not be too demanding, and feel this will help.
  Anyhow, she seems lovely. Very friendly and her little girl is a few months older than Fergie so I think he will learn heaps from her.
  We are going to her house next tuesday evening.
  And can I also say how much I love this thread and all of you on it. You mean a lot to me and make parenthood a happy place to be, with a loving community around us
• Wow, new thread already. That was quick work. Did my shocking amount of posts today scare you all off that you had to run away whilst I was having dinner?
  I see my list has been hijacked already!
• Mmm, I have a packet of butterscotch angel delight in the cupboard.
• Still got a waa waa baby here And a colours infront of my eyes headache too boot.
  Oh yeah, interview for HNC course tomorrow at 9am, is it wrong that I am dead excited?
  And also I am sooooo not doing the dishes tonight, I can't be arsed and I'm too frickin tired.
• Weezl, have you met the CM yet or will Tues eve be the first time for both of you?
  I think its a good idea. You will be able to settle into spending time on you/ kester without having to worry its at the expense of Fergie and im sure he'll love it.
  Its great she has a child just older than him too as i do think it helps in their development x

  lol! I think she came out already approaching her 30th birthday. I sometimes think she's the adult and I'm the baby!

  I'll ahve to think up some answers just in case. Right now she's so nosey - we had to stand for ages watching a doggy walk past us then she started waving at thin air She's just so pleased with herself It makes me glow inside.

  I like the thread as it is
  hello I was just thinking of you and Charlotte. Hope you are both feeling brighter.
• Hello all,
  Just thought I would finally make the move over here to the parent thread, some of you may remember me from the PG club. Can't believe it but my gorgeous little girl is nearly three weeks old already!
  I think we are both settling in really well, Jessica Rose is doing very well and putting on weight steadily so I'm really proud of her.
  Hopefully I won't bug you all too much with too many questions!
  Gem xx
