We've just spent 2 hours with the neighbours who spent their whole time talking about babies.  It hurt a lot.

Helen talks all the time about how difficult it is, and what a hard time she's having and how tired she is.  I'm at the stage where I'm ready to slap her and tell her that she's bloody lucky to have a baby and she'd better start appreciating what she's got instead of moaning all the blooming time.  Yet I know she's finding it hard, and that ickle Emma hasn't had the easiest start.  I know that new mums get tired, and that things are certainly not easy.

Actually I'm just so fecking jealous of her having a baby that it's causing me to be a moody cow.

That's all.

I am sorry you had such a hard time. Do these neighbours know about your situation or not? if so they could have been more tactful! You are bound to be a bit sensitive to her moaning dont beat yourself up though - big squeezes Ann xxx

big hugs rachie xxxx
now then its a bit kinda like ....slap me if im worong......when i hear mums moan about kids being windy or babies being up all night and moaning about silly little colds and sneezes i often feel the urge to slap them ....people dont realise what they say i swaer to god...its hurts when people esp. people close to us seem to open gobs before the brain engages ...maybe have a lil word with your freind before u snap ? says me mrs tactful lol ....big hugs rachie u may share my wodka

i agree with both of the comments there rachie lovely. are they aware? and like julie said sometimes ppl just open their mouth without engaging brain. i've done that one myself without meaning to and i bet if they realised how hurt it made u feel they would be mortified. not that that makes it easier for u.
