Kind of not sure what I am doing. Saw the title, 'Social', thought perhaps I would give it a looking. As I do not get out much.
I am nobother, I am twenty nine and currently going through rough time. Have four daughters and one fantastic loving husband. I live in Briton in the middle of no where. Used to be a fun party girl, currently undergoing illness. However I am working on getting back into the world very soon and hope to be back to having a very busy calender that does not involve hospitals and doctors and medication.
All my girls are young. I have a son too who is soooo funny.
Would be nice to just chat about anything and everything that doesn't invole cartoons and barbie dolls.hope to chat.
nobother. xx

Glad you're here nobother. It's a good place to connect.

It really helps to have a great husband, doesn't it? I have 4 kids too - 2 boys, 2 girls. That's a lot of kids, and can cause a lot of stress no matter how good they are. There's just always so much to do.

Anything you want to chat about is good. My kids are into computer games, Satch Bell, and friends. I'm good with getting away from all of that for awhile every day, just for some me time.fairywings

Hi fairywings.
The furthest I get to go is to the bottom of the garden. My twins are hard work. They do nothing but scream. If you watch nanny 911 or similar programs, my girls are almost like that. Only theirs is purely boredom. There is absolutely nothing to do for them where we live. My husband is my carer. We are moving in three weeks to be closer to people, so that should help us a lot. My two older older children get to escape to school and friends houses. My baby just wants me but the three year old twins are in serious need of other company. They start pre-school next term. Hooray!!!
I am so determined that my depression and other illness will not beat me though. That's why I decided to browse on the net. It makes you realise that there are other people out there in the same boat and more, AND I really feel for all these people who have to cope alone.
I am very lucky to have my husband. He has been my best friend for many years before we got together so he knew me before I became ill and has been with me through it all, bless 'im. We only got married this August and we are as strong as ever.
Blimey, I could talk forever, but I won't.
What about you? Hows life for you?
Thank you for listening to me waffle on.nobother xx

Hi there,
It sounds like you have your hands full! Kids, a husband and illness… sounds not unlike my life, although I have only three kids (no twins), and my illnesses are very controllable. Yeah, it must be a struggle for you at times.
I know what you mean about not talking about barbie dolls. I get a bit fed up with all the fairy princess stuff and everything having to be pink! I’m curious to see whether my son (9 months) will pick up the pink thing from my daughters or whether he’ll get into trucks and diggers and other traditionally boy things.
Living in the middle of nowhere isn’t easy, although it’s also perfectly possible to be lonely in a big city. You say you’re planning to move; I hope you’ll be near enough to people you know that you’ll be able to have a bit of a social life.
So what do you like to chat about when the barbies are back in the toy box?
Tamar

I have three grown kids but they really never grow up. Always some sort of problem. Fondly, Phillipa

That is really hard, and to have so many children at such a young age is stressful. Hopefully when you're around more ppl, and your kids are busier, and more content, you'll start to feel better. how old is your baby? Could hormones be part of it?Are you doing any therapy right now, or are you on meds? There are quite a few ppl from england on the boards, i've noticed esp. on psycho-babble - the meds board.

Pre-school will be so good for them. They will love it, and I'm sure you can use the break, we all can! ; ) Will they go all day, 1/2 day, what?

It makes you realise that there are other people out there in the same boat and more, AND I really feel for all these people who have to cope alone.I think it helps too, to feel connected, and normalized by other ppl's experiences.

Not a problem, talk as much as you want! Things are pretty good for me. I have 3 in school, and 1 still at home. He'll go to pre-school next year, he's 2 right now. My husband is really good too. Good about helping out, and good about my therapy.fairywings

Hi nobother
I have a 7 year old son. 8 in December. I feel as though I have 4 kids. And I beg forgiveness if I sound glib!
He is handful! But a funny and precious handful!
I have a stepdaughter - almost 5. I am somewhat less enamored with her. She has an emotional 'maturity' that is frightening for her age and makes her look nothing more than spoilt! (Which she is!!)
Cartoon network blasting in the background - hmmm - yes ... would be nice to talk about other things.
Hope to chat more with you.
Sabrina
