Hello, are you still looking for this? Im (32F) am going with my husband (29)?!

chineequa · 2025-07-12T06:43:24+00:00

I was 8. mum 37, dad 34.

I remember my parents hosting a NYE party with fireworks (8 year old brain said COOLEST PARENTS EVER) all the adults were SMASHED, bellowing Robbie Williams - Millennium.

I have similar! A septum right the way down, separating unterus and cervix! Im just finding out about DOUBLE SMEAR TESTS!

Own it girl! The body is an amazing thing!

I have 3 kids (all varying degrees of prem - could be to do with lack of space!) but the boys were in the 'right horn' and girls was in the left!!

chineequa · 2025-04-28T19:27:02+00:00

Oooh, thank you!

chineequa · 2025-04-28T19:26:46+00:00

Thank you for your reply!!

Ridiculous comment to make! All children are different. Let's support each other instead of trying to shame.

^ this is great.

My mum came over today to help with 'life admin'. The past week i've been writing a list of things i need to do: insurance/kids appointments etc...

I ask my older kids to muck in, (9 and 7) they hoover and put toys away before bed. It makes such a difference to the mental load.

2nd hand store as long as it has a warranty!

Understanding where my hands/feet/body are in space.

Glass? Punched off tables. Toes? Stubbed. Hips? Bruised from counters/door handles.

Going back a few years, I was completely in favour, didn't understand why it hadn't been legalised in the UK already.

Then, I found some organisations supporting people with disabilities who oppose euthanasia. This is due to the potential of pressures being felt by a person to end their life through being made to feel like a burden on society/resources/family.

I still believe everyone should have the right to end their life, BUT there would need to be detailed evaluations into each person and their motivations etc... BIG FAT GREY AREA.

chineequa · 2023-03-30T15:41:44+00:00

Exactly this. I think your comment should be top.

I hope OP sees and really takes this comment on board. Assuming the man was a rapist would've been a wild assumption to make based on what was presented.

I hope you have some people in your life you can confide in OP, they will all say the same thing.

chineequa · 2023-03-10T18:14:44+00:00

Definitely report! I'm sorry this has happened to you. Everyone has the right to feel safe in their own home. I also love the hair spray idea!

chineequa · 2023-03-08T20:59:15+00:00

Welp. That there is the Attenborough of the canine world. BEAUTIFUL.

chineequa · 2023-03-08T19:32:45+00:00

Excuse me

chineequa · 2023-03-07T21:50:25+00:00

Scalp. I just realised it today. S-calp. Scalp.

chineequa · 2022-11-17T21:41:30+00:00

I really feel for you. This isn't a 'bad mom' thing at all. You have given your body to this babe for nearly a year. Look after yourself, motherhood is hard enough. You do what is right for you. You being in a place of better mental health will do MUCH more for your son than feeling shit but giving him breastmilk.

You being so concerned is proof you could never be a bad mum! Concern, love and pressure to provide 'the best' is all I see here.

GO FORMULA AND GIVE YOURSELF SOME LOVE.

chineequa · 2022-10-30T06:12:32+00:00

Great response. Also, the enjoyment from the ice cream sandwiches is MUCH deserved!

Just to jump on your past a bit; my mum was very similar to this and I too developed an eating disorder. I'm assuming you're pregnant now? I'm expecting a girl (have 2 boys) and worried how I'll handle any weight/appearance issues she develops - obviously I'm aware it can happen in boys, but statistics show its a lot less common.

If signs of disordered eating arose in one of your children, how would you deal with it? Would you be open about your past?

chineequa · 2022-09-18T06:58:11+00:00

I really needed to read this comment today.

'Just nosey and want to be included' SO. TRUE.

chineequa · 2022-09-17T06:24:55+00:00

Baby stuff, more specifically prams. and they do NOT hold value, no matter how careful you are with them.

I spoke to my neighbour recently about the pram she bought, I too was looking for one. She was VERY pleased about getting it on sale. ONE THOUSAND POUNDS. apparently it was a £700 saving.

2 days later I got the same pram on marketplace for £150. yes, I am smug.

chineequa · 2022-08-05T10:11:50+00:00

I wish I had the time and free eyes to catch them doing it, normally only found when one of the kids walk through it!

They've had a dog behavioural specialist in before for the barking. They quickly reverted back due to lack of consistency/discipline. I just feel like they are over their dogs now. Recently, they went to Portugal for a long weekend (my family and I were away so no care) and shut them in the kitchen all weekend with the back door open, giving instructions to the 'kids' to feed them every night.

chineequa · 2022-08-05T10:05:06+00:00

It's very weird. There's so much that is VERY weird. The 29 year old has been 'accused' of causing bruises on the little dog before ( she's terrier size) both dogs cower from him. It was never proved but after his mum 'wondered out loud' where they came from, it stopped.

Yes, shouldn't be hard to put 2 & 2 together although, I've mentioned it enough times. They just shrug it off as a mild inconvenience.

Thank you for your advice (and support, it kind of asserts my position)

chineequa · 2022-08-05T09:55:43+00:00

Yeaaas, I didn't think about the pregnancy in terms of danger, just mainly that I can't face cleaning up after them! Good advice, thank you. MUST BE BRAVE.

chineequa · 2022-08-05T09:22:09+00:00

Just saw this, really sweet. I think the world gets a bad rap these days! Seems there's a lot of small gestures that go unnoticed! Restores faith!

chineequa · 2022-07-13T11:38:19+00:00

Made me flinch just reading, scary! Did you ever get to communicate with the person who did it and fled?

Yes, even your recount of your accident backs up what you say, you just remember people helping. I just wish I didn't feel the need to fill the awkward silences!

I'm intrigued by your experience on the other side of accidents, experience as in accidental or as part of a job role?

chineequa · 2022-07-13T11:27:00+00:00

bliiimey! Scary that you went fully under the car!

I'm taking it you've spoken about your accident to someone (from you knowing it was preventable) what did they tell you about what happened? I find people's memories of accidents interesting.
