I'm proud of my child no matter what she does - so yes, I was also proud when my LO started walking. Probably silly to feel that, but equally not very nice to put someone down for being proud of their own child. It's not a question of achievement or reflected glory, it's just something you feel (at least some people do).


Am sure some parents whose little ones were very ill at birth were also proud (and grateful) of their LO breathing...

I've heard repeatedly that boys are lazy from family members and that boys are are slower to reach milestones! This was mostly from family to be fair. The OP's post didn't surprise me at all.


Also, I agree its natural to be proud of each milestone. While most kids fortunately do eventually get there, for each child its a journey involving hard work and effort and seeing them accomplish these initial life steps seems miraculous rather than mundane (whenever it happens). It's really no different to proud parents at a wedding. It never really stops...

Also, Otta, being proud of others is synonymous (according to merriam webster) with: causing someone to feel very happy and pleased. When I think of the term "proud grandparents" etc, that's what its always meant to me. Just another way to say very happy.

Otta if you are not proud of your children i find that really sad , I'm am proud of everything my little boy does even when he does something he shouldn't I'm proud he says sorry and I'm proud of myself for feeling I'm doing a good job in that is is happy and healthy ,


Thank you to thoes of you with kind words :)

    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.      
    • Hi all Does anyone know someone who can make a window seat cushion and cover? See image of window seat. Thank you.
    • Don't know why but it seems like there have been impromptu fireworks since early September. At one point I even wondered if there was a shooting range or something like that over Dulwich Hamlet way- the direction where the firework sounds seem to be coming from? Is there some kind of new, fireworks craze going on and where are people getting them, out of season?
