hi Lee,

We're in Perth and have just discovered we are pregnant .. no other kids as yet. i am new to bubhub and trying to find people to chat with..

Is there any family's up for a bbq in the next few weeks?The weather is warming up and it would be nice to meet some new people.:)

Hello, :smiliedance:

I am 27 yrs old and I have a 10 week old baby boy named Jayden this is my first baby and I would also like to chat and make friends to other mums online.

My hubby works long hrs so it would be nice to chat to someone in between Jaydens sleep time. Most of my other friends that are also mums are now working so I am unable to chat to them as much as I want to as they are all working long hours.

I have a little problem though I am hoping I can get some advice on, my mother in law is trying to take over caring for my child and she is over stepping the boundries and I think she is trying to relive her life through my son.

She also pops in whenever she wants or simply makes up an excuse to come over and see her grandson and she is now getting on my nerves as she is making out that I have a problem.

Does anyone have any advice as to how I can treat this problem without causing too much pain??? Also to add to this my hubby is an only child so that sucks too.

Cheers
Emz :laughing:

Hi Emz82, have u spoke to you partner about his mother? maybe he could have a word to her, or if you spoke to her and maybe told here that you appreciate her helping and caring about your son, but you like to have your own time with your son and you dont need so much help from her. Sorry thats all iv got, hope it helps a little.:o

[Emz82]

Hi,

Yeah I have spoken to my Mother in law about this many times before & I have spoken to my hubby but he just thinks his mum will get over it. He thinks that she is just being helpful and is excited about being a first time nanna.

His mum does have really strong views and a dry sense of humour. The other day she told me that I should go back into the workforce and she will mind my son (my son is only 10 wks old) I thanked her for the offer but declined as I am going to have a year off as pre-planned before I had the baby to spend time with him.

She then told me that I wasnt a very good mother for declining and that I should work! (shes seriously mental!!) So I told her to butt out and mind her own as it has nothing to do with her and I told her to stop ringing and coming over all of the time! I need my space.

She is very opinionated & has the answers for everything her true personality is finally coming out she also tries to baby my hubby and she then tells him things that I supposedly said and tries to create problems in our marriage!

I have already told him that he needs to ignore her negativety and that we are a family now and it doesnt involve his parents we come first. I have been with him for 9 years now and she was never this bad.

leeplus4 - I appreciate your helpful advice but unfort it hasnt worked with her lol

I now dont tell her what I am doing in the week and I now screen all of my calls :yelclap: so that if I am busy I can always call her back in my own time and if she just pops in unannounced I tell her that she is not able to come in as I am not organised. Yeah I know I sound like a ***** but she is trying to take over my life!

And I suppose this is my fault I dont have my license I am going for my Learners tomorrow so then this will be one way that I can get out and be independant.

Cheers
Emz

[leeplus4]

Wow she sounds like a pain in the *** lol.Stick with what you are doing by telling her to butt out:yes:, hopefully she will get the pictuer. I dont have my licence eather, i have been for lessons but i get nervous, maybe i will get it one day [i hope].:fingerscrossed:

Hi we have 3 girls 10,7,and 2 and also find it very hard finding friends, Friends we did have seemed no vanish when I had my 3rd child you seem to find out who your friends are???
We love the beach dont have a 4 w/d yet tho and we always have bbq's. We live in a little town in w/a down south. that is very clicky. Been here 5 years and haven't got my foot in yet.That's why I joined on here. Have a nice day xx:sunshine:

[leeplus4]

:wave:Hi there, magic in your heart. Where down south do you live, is it far from rockingham????

[Magic in your heart]

Hi yep long long way away in Esperance.

[leeplus4]

Hi magic in your heart, i did add you as a friend, im nit sure if i did it right :confused:

[leeplus4]

Hi magic in your heart, i did add you as a friend, im not sure if i did it right :confused:

[mummellie]

I can relate tot he mum in law thing to a degree. Mine is always stepping in and most of the time it is not welcome. The thing is she doesnt know we are pregnant at the moment (i am only 8 weeks so nobody knows) and i am worried that as soon as she knows she is going to be asking me every 5 seconds how i am, what appt is next, how is the baby going, checking on what I am eating and drinking and how many hours I am working and what time out i am having. I will be interested what the outcome is on this one as mums in law can be so difficult.

Hi Jo-anne
I am also new to this forum...I live in Rockingham 34 yrs old and my hubby is 36 we have four children 10 yr old girl, 4 yr old boy, 15 mth old boy and 4 mth old boy (yes I know crazy) I am always up for a chat and if you can put up with two little ones maybe a BBQ down the beach one day.

[leeplus4]

Hi jo-anne, it would be great to meet with you all for a bbq one day. You have a 10 year old girl and a 4 year old boy just like us:thumbsup:, it would be good for the kids to have a play one day, now that the weather is warming up.:yelclap:

[brown4]

Hi Magic in your heart,

I know what you mean about small towns... we lived in Kalgoorlie for 3 years when my daughter was born and found the same thing, very hard to make friends especially when home alone most days with hubby working long hours. We eventually moved back to perth to be closer to our family. I am always up for a chat :-)

[brown4]

Hi Leeplus4
Where abouts in Rockingham do you live? have you lived in the area long? I cant seem to get away from the place, moved away for awhile and then came back again...lol.... Can't complain as the beaches are beautiful!! Kellie

[leeplus4]
