A lot of the mum's I came across were so competitive and would say horrible things to me. My favourite sound bite was "we were so lucky with our wee one that we aren't having another, it would be just our luck to have one like yours!" to say I was gutted would be an understatement! So I totally get what you are saying. xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08348745294283859920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1824547228125638907.post-83620303601176632292011-04-12T19:52:36.138+01:002011-04-12T19:52:36.138+01:00Jacquie they were definitely "very well manic...Jacquie they were definitely "very well manicured"... and I am so so so so NOT!<br /><br />I don't know... I just didn't/couldn't relate to them... I prefer friends who've got babies rather than babies who've got Mums if that makes any sense at all.......<br /><br />One of them's boy was 14 months and asked how old Aaron is. When I said he is nearly 10 months it totally threw her as her boy was smaller... it's not a competition... that's it! I can't bear competitive Mums, that's what it is!<br /><br />Aaron was 9 lbs 10 oz at birth and has always been big - even my bump was called "large for dates".<br /><br />Liska xxxNew Mum Onlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14285584922202683960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1824547228125638907.post-14333228601383190462011-04-12T17:26:40.774+01:002011-04-12T17:26:40.774+01:00Aaron looks happy and well adjusted and in the lon...Aaron looks happy and well adjusted and in the long run that is what is most important.<br /><br />I think it may be that I relate much better to the male species, but I wouldn't be able to relate to the Super Mom type. Being quite happily "childless by choice", I can only go by what I see and remember, but decades do change things. So often I see moms that are talking on the cell when they could be making memories. I remember my mom teaching us our numbers using the prices at the grocery store when we were barely walking. Can't do that when you are chatting and tossing items in the basket while the little one waits for your attention. Oh, well, that's just me.

Might these be what my hubby refers to wrongly as yummy mummies, which I told him I'd like to be, but what he meant is, mums who don't seem to pay attention to their kids when out and about - let kids run riot and don't keep tab on them, very well manicured, you wonder how they have time to be etc?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03431289736875861649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1824547228125638907.post-83078922360059483482011-04-11T21:27:59.551+01:002011-04-11T21:27:59.551+01:00Looks like Aaron was enjoying himself!Looks like Aaron was enjoying himself!Jenny Kearneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13830949065898127701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1824547228125638907.post-13538659739593813142011-04-11T18:35:23.321+01:002011-04-11T18:35:23.321+01:00I don't go to any groups either.
