New Mum From Brissie

[Zarbz]

Hi there everyone my names zarby I'm 22 & just had my first daughter Zahlia, 4months old. I live in carina heights an brisbane. I was wondering if there was anyone who lives nearby this area? Or knows of a playgroup or something with younger mums???? I'm finding it really diffcult to find friends and I've been to some mothers groups & play groups and they're all so such older! Anyway any info would be wonderful going a bit stir crazy, I don't know anyone down here I moved to brissie while I was pregnant, so I had no way to meet people!! -How pathetic am I!!!!!!! :rolleyes:

Hi Zarbz,

My name is Tess. Firstly Congradulations on the birth of your first child. I fell pregnant with my son when I was 18 and gave birth when I was 19. I turned 20 5 months later and now at 21 have a gorgeous 20month old little boy. I had just moved to brisbane with my husband and hadn't been living here very long when I fell pregnant. I know how hard it is too meet new people, especially when you are young. I would love too keep in contact with you, if you would like. My home email is in my profile. By the way I don't think your pathetic. Where did you move from?

Hope to hear from you soon, Tess. :)

Hi Tess thanks for the reply I would love to keep in touch. I moved from Toowoomba about 12months ago, so all my friends live to far away to visit all the time, and for as large as brisbane is its really hard to meet people! Besides all I seem to come in contact with are a lot older mothers that seem to look down there nose at me for haveing a baby at my age-like there's some age limit on who's fit to be a mother!!!!!!!

Tell me about it. I seem to be fine with the older mums untill they ask the question, "So how old are you?". Then as soon as I reply 21 everything changes. I don't really get it. Not only that but I geuss it's alot harded to find things in common when you come from totally different generations. I mean music, fashion e.t.c. I don't even want to get to into this conversation because I could rattle on forever. :) .

Tell me about it seems to be my pet hate at the moment!!! But I think all younger mums feel that way!! Just one more thing while were on the subject what I find crazy is that they judge us for having kids young when we could do the same to them, I mean for them having kids much older, so you tell me which group is more mature?.......... I find that very interesting!!!!! I'm trying to download msn at the moment, do you have that? I thought it might be easier to chat?

[FamilyMum]

Yes I do have MSN tell me when your logged on.

hi everybody my name is kat and im 20 years old and i have a beautiful 9 month old son called Declan. We live in Beaudesert, outside of brisbane but we spend a lot of time on the northside in Carseldine at declan's daddy's house. (so yes i am living with my mum while im still partnered with dj's dad we are not living together) We are looking for other young mums to meet up with anywhere around brisbane as it gets a bit boring by yourself all day. My interests are rock music, studying and saving money at the moment. and of course my lovely son. my email is daisy_love_child@hotmail.com and we are on msn messenger. hopefully talk to somebody soon!!!
