Wow Becks that was tough you come across as being a happy positive person thankfully with Jess in your life. What do you plan to do when Jess goes to school? Horticulture?
It was tough at first, being on my own, with a newborn at the wrong side of 30! But things couldn't have turned out better.
Not sure what I'm planning on doing really. I've done a wide range of jobs from cleaning, catering, banking, call centres, and even ran my own ironing and laundry business for 4 years, but now I'm into gardening, doing something like that would be great. Childcare is going to be my main problem in school holidays. I have no family to help out. Childcare costs a fortune.
I think in us all we have an inner strenghth to get through the tough times.
You certainly have an interesting CV but I do appreciate the childcare costs. Have you not thought of doing childcare yourself? We were trying to persuade my tough builder to trade brother to go into childcare what a laugh that would have been he just wasnt keen somehow
My eldest two are 18 (son) and 15 (daughter) (They live with their Dad from a previous relationship, not the dead one), and used to come to me every weekend, but now they are older, The lad is all loved up and I haven't seen him since March! and the other comes when she has nothing better to do!
My boys are 20 and 22 its a very different parenting by this time. I say we should have been warned about this stage not sleepless nights with teething and potty training! They dont need you unless they have a problem or need money!! They think they are all grown up but we know different and they treat you as if youve always been "old" and have never had a life. Our 20yr old is all loved up at the moment its pathetic and cute at the same time. Dont you just love them..
Ha ha ha. That rings a bell. My lad posts all this mushy stuff on his Facebook account to his young lady (Who is a lovely girl thankfully), and I think, 'Is that really my Dan saying that?' Where's my son gone!
My boys wont let me on facebook I think its because I might read their mush.. little do they realise my OH reads it for me ha ha. I dont need facebook anyway not when Ive got you lot to chat to

Jo I just looked back the posts I put in a thank you and its not there
Thanks Jo I do agree always our babies
Oh Jenny, no. It would be my worse nightmare! I hate kids! My own are an exception though. I love them to bits. I'm just not keen on all the others!
That has made me laugh
I couldnt agree more. Im going to love being a granny one day in about ten years time that will do me

I'm hoping I won't be a granny for many years!
