RE: children

My parents put each other first through out their 44 years of marriage and they would still say they come first, for it they dont look after each other, how could they have looked after all of us.
If a couple have a balance, no matter how that couple have come together, they create a healthy environment for a chid to grow within, they provide decent role models,showing a child in little ways that life needs balance, for life has its ups and downs just like relationships
If you show a child a "perfect life" you set them up for failure with their future relationships........

RE: children

Sometimes those who do not have chilren can see a situation better from the outside, than those who are involved.
My lad has some medical condidtions, and when I look back I was smothering him with protection yet hindering him from expanding his world. "Him indoors" placed some wise words to me resulting in my wee lad soaring, reaching for the sky with confidence because I let the reins go loose, yet still holding them.

All I can say to others is..trust what you have instilled in your children, live your life with a healthy balance of you, your partner and your children....if your not happy how will your children be

RE: a woman going to a decent bar/restaurant alone

Why ever not..is what I say. I did it for many years..go to the movies, eat out, concerts, holidays etc.
All my friends are happily maried and well settled in their lives. Resulting in me not having anyone to go out with, so instead of sitting at home alone I did all the things that many couples did, just did it alone.
At first it was strange going for dinner alone, but as time passed I became comfortable with it. I notice though, that others felt uncomfortable with seeing a woman alone.
I had to decide, do I stay at home alone and miss out on life bcause of other peoples persception/opinion of me, or do I go out alone and enjoy what life has to offer

As for other people perception of me

Mike
Wonderful thread, hopefully it will inspire others to do as you have suggested..who knows

We have done more or less the same for over 2 years and it has paid off. We are combining our households over the next few weeks and moving in together


Thank you CS

RE: foster

Just saw it, I would have the same concerns also being so close to home....

RE: What is the worst physical pain you have ever experienced?

I found good old fashion custard worked wonders for me with bananas for those times...great for leg cramps also and restless legs

RE: foster

In what way

Sometimes if adults took a step back and saw through a childs eye what the world was truly like...what do you think we would see

Maybe just maybe we have to go out on a limb for a child now and then

I oftern wondered when you hear local folks condemning a child, you know the kid, he is in all corners of the world, the child who has the dirty raggedy wee way about him. The one that looks like trouble.
The kid who tries and tries his best to fit in yet never manages to do so. The kids who steals...the kid who breaks into buildings........
















That kid may be starving and in need of shelter, that kid maybe in need of someone to, just for once say, "Hey you are a good kid", that kid for once may need someone to see past the dirt and lice and see that lovely wee face unserneath, that kid may need a hug that he has never been given without having to pay a very big price for....

Sometimes all it is......is just once...that can make all the difference

RE: What is the worst physical pain you have ever experienced?

Yeah I know..sickening arent I

I remeber going to the pre-birth classes, all sitting on the floor talking about what we wanted for our deliveries. The eejits were all " flower power mother loving earth kid of folks" said about the breathing and natural way to go When I was asked what way I wanted it to be..I responded by saying "gimme all the drugs you have, knock me and wake me up when its over" You Should have seen their faces They looked down their noses at me distainfully................

Guess who was sitting all cool and calm when the time came giving a wee sqeak and there the kid was While you could hear the rest screaming like banshees looking for drugs

RE: What is the worst physical pain you have ever experienced?

I'd take my broken bones over that any day How in God's name did you survive all that What kept you going You must have such a zest for life to battle all that

RE: What is the worst physical pain you have ever experienced?

Yep..there is Exstensive nerve damage means I cant feel certain parts of my body, so more or less pain free natural delivery for me The thingy in my arm in case I needed a "section" hurt more...sickening or what

RE: What is the worst physical pain you have ever experienced?

Waking up to find, for the exceptin of the bones in my face, I had broken nearly every bone in my body..not a nice feeling

RE: foster

Is she still in that household?

RE: foster

Hi Gus Welcome to Ireland

It can be scary...the decisons we make for our children..the right schools etc can make all the difference 20 years later
When it comes to Fostering it becomes a whole new ball game alltogether. The lady above would have to reflect on their life honestly and see if they are capable of making decisions that impact on another, particulary when it is not their child.
She needs to consider her past, the decisions she has made...what direction her life took her to the point she is at now. This will ALL impact on the child she brings into her home.

For the OP..read some of Nacy Thomas..then she will get an idea of what lies ahead of her. Forget that Tory Hayden crap..it romantizes the job ahead of her

RE: foster

1. She has to have a stable life
2. She must be stable within herself and be able to care for herself first before caring for such a vulnerable child.
3. She needs be open minded about that children she will come across
4. She needs to be non-judgmental about that childs family
5. She needs to take the Rose Tinted Glasses view of the job off, it is very hard work, sometimes rewarding, sometimes not
6. Face the reality of what these children experience and be able to deal with it.
7. Can she deal with a child who makes a disclosure or behaves in such a way that she/society are uncomfortable with

She needs to think long and hard about this, for once that child is inside those doors, she will impact on them good or bad, depending on how capable she is. One can damage, the other can possibly help that child.

Its not something she should get into lightly and more importantly...forget the money, no matter how good it is, Fostering impacts on the child for the rest of their life. She will have to make decision that affect that child..can she live with them if they are the wrong decisions
