Thread: Building a new life

    Welcome to the parenting world. Sometimes you get it right, sometimes not so much. There is no one size fits all solutions to every situation so you have to wing it.

    Sorry Jaq...I'm a worrier too! For what it's worth, I think you're handling it very well. I shan't bring up the subject again.

    You probably feel like you are in a no-win situation here. Damned whatever you do. Just keep being yourself. Tell her she hurt your feelings and you're a bit sad but you still love her.
    I would let J do the stern talking to about telling lies but then I'm afraid you just need to move on.
    I dont think you handled it badly so give yourself a break. Parenting is tough and we all could list things we wish we handled better or differently because we are not perfect and yip we have feelings!! This wont be the last but yes it's not something you were expecting from her so that's probably why it hurts so much. Learning curves are wonderful aren't they!!

    Oh not you Flo! I meant at home!

    You're right SM. I helped them with their homework, did bath time, did story time and got them sorted for school this morning so I'm behaving like normal with her, I just need J to stop going on about how he can tell I'm struggling!

    Just seen the news that the chemo Tom is having is to slow down the cancer as it's too far advanced for them to cure him. Gutted but he has hundreds of people worldwide in his corner and he will fight with every breath he has

    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    It's unfortunately one of those things.

    Currently laid on the decking, looking up at the stars. I see so many more on a clear night than I did living in the city. It's so peaceful.
