Shouting at your toddler

Posted on May 20, 2007 by Mamapumpkin

I just did. *gulp* It was an all out yelling voice shout as well. Like a hysterical mad lady who'd just got her handbag snatched. *gulp* She has been climbing all over me while I read on the laptop and whining when she is supposed to be sleeping. She is.......click to learn what next.

Why I don’t have a maid

Where I gym at the local club, between 9-11am, I have the veteran crowd for company. This is not a problem for me as I get along well with people of all ages, from gurgling babies to waffling grandpas. However, I have such passion and arousal when certain.......click to learn what next.

A Royal Wedding

Posted on May 18, 2007 by Mamapumpkin

It was a marriage of convenience. He and she have been very good friends for the longest time and she has royal blood. The other doesn't. 5 years ago, they were beside me at a restaurant. Definitely good friends. Not lovers.

London, a sweet breath of reminiscence and nostalgia

Posted on May 18, 2007 by Mamapumpkin

I spent a third of my formative years in London so London is very special. The last time I was there with the Hubs in 2001, London had already metamorphosised from what it was when I was a student. I am sure when we go next year, London.......click to learn what next.

My emotional hole – lack of parental attention

Posted on May 18, 2007 by Mamapumpkin

A friend of mine told me the other day that I have an emotional hole due to the lack of love in my life whilst growing up. It totally threw me off guard. Surely if I had an emotional hole before, then it would have been filled up.......click to learn what next.

Where am I going?

As promised - a boring but informative post. First and foremost, babies and toddlers (BT) are made up differently from adults so before you ever touch a BT in distress, read my lesson.
