let us know how you get on! I know it will settle down (sending lots of positive happy sleepy vibes!!) These two year olds are fantastic but man they sure know how to test things!! Good luck..

Thanks Angela and Catherine for your replies! Hm, about the night light, I can see where you're coming from. Funnily enough, one night when she wasn't well and i tried to put her in bed with me (didn't work) and then put her back into her bad and tu…

My daughter who's 2yrs also started a bedtime rebellion, what worked for us was doing the usual routine at bedtime, but when she started to wind up I would go in and settle her enough to ask her what was wrong, if it was an attention seeking tantrum…

Advice please! Toddler problems at bedtime!

Hello dear mums out there I really need some advice. My 2year and 4 month old daughter has always been a very easy going little girl and I've never had any issues getting her to bed. We have a good (i think so at least!!) bedtime routine with brushi…

Congratulations to the birthday kids! Hana turned 2 on Friday, it was a lovely day but exhausting for me. Debbs, sounds like things are complicated at the moment. I have to admit i'm pretty clean too and had a lodger for about 4 weeks on and off and…

I so wish there was a solo mum group here in Christchurch!! :( Still seems hard to "find" solo mums in Chch... oh well. Kristina, how are things going with your husband and how is your wee boy doing? Bex, was lovely seeing you the other day and I am…

Carly McPherson commented on Katrina Murray's blog post 'Worry - is it worth it?!'

I think being female entails "worry mode"???!! I love your post, it's so very true. I worry constantly about all sorts of things instead of focusing on the solution... a lesson for today and many tomorrow's.... by the way, love your pic :D

hi there, My situation isn't exactly like yours but i'm a solo mum and had to go to work part-time to support us both when my lil boy was 1 year old. I dreaded taking him to daycare and yes at first he was upset, but the ladies there are great and t…

Single mum looking for new friends!!

Heya there
thanks for stopping by :o) Cut a long story short: I'm a single mum to my beautiful daughter Hana Jade who is 17 months old and my pride and joy! I have very recently moved to Christchurch and don't really know anybody here, so keen to meet other mums! I want to study full-time next year when Hana turns 2, which is the reason we moved here. My family is overseas (apart from my brother) and Hana's dad lives in Wellington, he buggered off when I was 8 months pregnant (and yes she was pl… Continue

So sorry to hear you had a hard time from your inlaws! They will be the ones who lose out in the end if they don't make the effort.
Good on you for doing the dating thing. I think it will be quite exiting when I decide to go there again. But not ready for that yet. Only two months since my break up and I am only now starting to enjoy my freedom. Having to please no one and enjoying my time with my kids without having to compromise on the values my ex and I used to disagree over.
I do look forward to having another change to be in love. I think I will be a bit weary though. My mum assured me that there is more than on lid for each pot. And I agree.
Nice to hear from you.
PS: When we lived in CHCH I thought the poeple were really friendly too! I joined the plunket group in central CHCH. They were a cool bunch of mums. My kids older now, 3 and 6.
Santie :))

Like you I have contemplated going back to my country of birth when my Kiwi husband dumped us. But I have lived here for ten years and I know it is the best country for kiddies. I live rurally and they are so happy here.
South Africa has a lot to offer, but it is not as safe and free as here. And I would have to really start over. So I am here to stay for better or worse.
My ex is the only one I think that wishes I would go. As I am staying with my in-laws. They support me and the kids 100% and we plan to build on the farm in the future. Strange but true. They were hit hard by this and are saddened that their only grandchildren are having to go through this.
Oh well such is life. We decid to stay. He decided to go llive with his girlfrien about an hour and a half away.
Are you settled now? I lived in CHCH for three months. Loved the place!

Looks like you are starting to meet some christchurchians ;-) which is awesome. Take care and enjoy your weekend too x
