This is a video of women saying what they would have told themselves right before they became mothers. Which I presume means right before their babies were born, or could it be right before they got pregnant? I hope it's the latter.
I don't know, I suppose it's a nice idea, though I have to admit, none of the signs really speak to me, particularly. I have no idea what I would say to myself that would in some way help or make it all better. To take Olivia to the osteopath as a baby, maybe, to recognise that it wasn't just sadness and bereavement, it was PND - but what then? Don't put any more money on your visa card. Save your money for a cupcake shop. Don't be a hormonal bitch and save your marriage? Don't hire the wrong midwife! Yes! That one! That'll do. I don't think they'd let me in the video though...

ah..somehow i love it..maybe i just love the song??..who knows...my fav sign was: google dont has children...that one is great:-)
I think I would just say "You can do this." That's what I needed to hear.
But in my case, that's kind of half not true. This is the thing. I find myself stumbling over those positive encouraging messages. They aren't all true, for me.
We could make an alternative one with all the above plus a few more..like 'Dont count on the €1000 preschool allowance'..:))
Baha!!
I have problems with that - Bodhi doesn't qualify for 'the grant' until next year - but the pre school he's in now isn't in the scheme. But he LOVES it. LOVES it.
I don't want to move him... we could really do with the money - I'm so pissed off about it, nobody was happy with the scheme, lots of schools that had been running happily for 20 years closed down - no preschools were actually consulted or asked what would work for them. And now we'll miss out on the help - for what? They should have kept giving it straight to the parents.
I agree totally Jo..the whole thing a disaster..the small, local playschools full of happy kids, let down. But glad that Bodhi is happy in his, its the Big first step into that world..and if it starts off bad then it could be an uphill struggle for the rest of schooldays..what a gorgeous day though !
It's gorgeous! I hate that I get such satisfaction from being able to get things dry on the line :)
