And I felt all sad

One was originally ds1s

Bought a second for the twins


Then reused it for newest baby but now he is too big


These are the car seats we brought them home from hospital in


I know you will all understand the slightly sad feeling of time passed that can never be regained


And newest baby has shoes now, too


The day looms when he will

Leave for university (or so it feels!)


What items have you found it hard to part with?


Shoes... If I could I would keep them all

I was sad to have to sell the pram I had for biggest sb to fund the double buggy we now need - It was lovely having him lying in it and then sitting and facing me - we had good chats and it was nice and snug. Smallest has been shortchanged by never parent facing and being in the p&t cocoon.


Other than that, worryingly, pretty much everything else is still in the loft...hmm...

I've kept a favourite outfit from every stage. There's somthing about holding it, feeling the fabric, and seeing the pattern that speaks volumes more than any photograph ever could. Of course this drives poor Husband mad when he pulls open the wrong drawer looking for 2T clothes but gets a strange mix of too tiny rompers and socks instead!

it's weird, i'm not at all sentimental about that stuff. I do keep things like the babies' hospital tags from when they were born and keep meaning to put them in a scrap book along with pics of christenings/birthdays etc...one day will do it! to be honest I didn't enjoy the baby stage with my first, and am not much more with my second, so guess am not so wistful about it. I think I must be a bit strange because in fact am desperate to get rid of everything as soon as number 2 is finished with it (perhaps trying to underline that def stopping at two?!).


BUT - certain foods and smells etc can take me right back. We re-found a lullaby with ducks that tinkle round recently, used to play it to distract my first during fraught nappy changes, and the sound just transports me right back to his early days, it's quite an odd feeling.

I'm torn between feeling sad about time passing and pleased to clear some space! I've kept daughter's 1st shoes and will probably keep a few of her nicest baby clothes when I get around to sorting them out. Same for new baby. Think I will be sad to sell equipment e.g moses basket will have to go soon. Suppose it makes it seem unlikely we'll ever have number 3 but we simply don't have the room to store everything just in case...

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
