Contemplations with Chele » Group


I often have one or two major contemplations per day.  They often come out of no where and are formed during the mundane tasks of vaccuuming or showering.  I thought they might make interesting conversation starters or debates when the Q&A is a bit slow...or may be you can read them, for a bit of a laugh.

Why is that....

by JessgoreComment Published at 19:4119:410 comments0 comments5 Visits5 VisitsReport

That even though my two year old son is capable of using a fork or spoon, he still prefers to use his fingers unless his sister is here for the weekend.  I find it is the only time my son uses his utensils to eat.. It is rather frustrating when you go out as he is such a messy little eater when he uses his fingers... Still he is just a kid and I don't go off at him for it..   But I just wish he'd pick them up a little more often...

Soul Mates

by MummaBearComment Published at 15:1115:115 comments5 comments115 Visits115 VisitsReport
I used to think that when you met your soul mate you got married and lived happily ever after.  That's when I was a little kid though.  As I grew I heard of people saying that their husband/wife was their soul mate.  My parents married young and said they were soul mates so marriage was fail-safe.  They are now divorced, they should have divorced a long time ago but didn't because they wanted their children to leave home first.  Two of us left home, the other was just starting year 7.  His first day in fact.  He had to repeat the grade because of it.  I've been thinking lately.  I don't think you have to meet your soul mate to have a strong marriage.  2 people can be thrown together and so long as they work at it, it will last.  The strongest marriage I know of involves 2 people from very different backgrounds.  They have worked and worked at their marriage and now they are closer than ever.  At first it was tough.  They only got married because she fell pregnant, which 30 years ago was what you did.  Then they were expecting number 2 which ended tragically and brought them closer together.  Number 3 came along and was a Daddy's Girl, and still is.  They had 2 more children and decided to stay together for the kids, but also decided to make the most of their time together and tried to find as many things to do together as they could.  They were never soul mates and had she not fallen pregnant to him 30 years ago they would never have been so much as friends.  It just got me thinking that people can make a marriage work if they are prepared to put in the effort and if they are also prepared to try to enjoy activities the other likes doing.  What do you think? I'm still single lol so I don't really know from personal experience just from the few people around me and from observing those who are divorced and those who are still married.

hi there

i have one for you all,  as you know charlie has been in hospital while we were in there i had a few nurses tell me that it was all my fault that he was there in the first place, they then went on to tell me that i wasn't feeding him or giving him fluids, and that i wasn't taking very good care of him,  i told my dad and he went off the deep end, and then asked the head nurse how would they know what happens at home in private, and how dare they tell a worried mother that they aren't looking after their own child,  well lets just say that by last night i think that the nurses would have been happy to see the backside of my dad,  but as i told the head nurse that he is very protected of me and charlie and that he was only defending us,  so sorry for the vent but i am wondering if anyone else has had this happen to them and how did they deal with it???

Mentors

by llmunchkinComment Published at 01:1001:103 comments3 comments30 Visits30 VisitsReport
You often hear about programs where famous or successful people mentor young people.  I wish that they could make a program where us older or more experienced mums can sign up to mentor a young single, struggling mum.  Maybe when your own youngest is a year old, and you can share ideas, help, support, and baby stuff etc.  Even look after the child for a couple of hours a week to give them some 'me' time.  There seem to be so many girls out there doing it all alone, and doing it tough with no support from their family and friends.  Perhaps if they felt that there were people who cared, they would feel more confident to make better life decisions.

I believe that what comes around goes around, and if we want to make the world a better place we need to reach out and make a difference in our community.  This is just one way that I think we could do it, without making a huge sacrifice financially, as I don't think most of us would be in a position to do that.
