A little Extra Support

I should have introduced myself when i joined- naughty!

My name is Melissa, im a 22yr old receptionist, my family is all over the place, the ones that live close by i dont talk to and the ones that live far away i talk to and miss teribly- typical! isnt it? Worried about not having the support when Mick and i start TTC in 1 and a bit yrs ohhh so excited! its getting closer!

Well its been a while since i have been on minti but i need to get a few things off my chest. I have had such an emotional time lately and need to vent. Now where to start? I guess i have lot of anger built up inside that needs to be delt with but i dont know how to. Hubby and I have recently separated, there has been alot of troubles financially and emotionally and on top of all that i have just found out that my cousin has been stealing off me. Over $300 worth of stuff that i know of so far. Im angry, hurt, confused not to mention i feel betrayed. And especially at a time when i really didnt need something else to go wrong.

On a good note however my baby girl has recently turned 2! She is talking much better and sleeping in her own bed alot more easily now than a few months ago. Although her and her brother fight like mad, he has also been good with her. He sits and tells her stories or plays with her and is teaching her alot of different things. He is at preschool two days a week now and she starts preschool for the first time next week. Im a little funny about it too! Being her first time and not having spent much time away from her im a little worried about how she is going to settle in. She likes it when we drop Jay off or pick him up and usually takes off and plays for a while but me not being there and her being there for the whole day may be a little different.....i just hope she likes it and settles well

Well i have to admit i have had a pretty rough few days. I had both kids a little sick last week and my youngest got worse over the weekend, she's now on antibiotics but is getting better. Also i have been stewing over some things relating to family issue. Things about my family have been bothering me for some time now and its slowly getting worse. I have talked to hubby and my cousin about it however i am hesitant about mentioning it to my family. the reason for this is because i do not want to start an all out feud, just want to let them know how im feeling and get it off my chest so they know exactly whats going on and why i am feeling this way, as they think its all issues surrounding myself hubby and the kids. What they dont know is that thats only part of it. The big thing is; How do I let it all out without having them all turn on me? Cause at this point in time, i have a very strong feeling thats what will happen. Its part jealousy, i will readily admit, but also hurt and anger that i have to get out thats causeing the way i feel...

Im Kris, a 26 yr old mum of two. Im currently looking to get back to work which im finding hard to do atm. Jay is 4 and Brea is 2 in May. Hubby works long hours and i usually am at home most days, just me and the kids.

Hi, i know how hard it can be when there isnt always someone there to talk to or get help from. I guess im hopeing this might be a place we can all support each other, wether it be talking, helping each other out in terms of finding suitable day care for those of us wanting to return to work or anything else. This is my first go at this and im hopeing it will go well although im not exactly sure how it will. But i know sometimes i just need someone to chat to who has or is in the same place as me.
