You know what I think Laura.
And I was thinking the same, I've seen far too many have an opinion on your life over the past few days... They've made me quite mad as I said to you, what makes them better than you? Or at least think they are. These people aren't friends lau.... No friend would talk to you like that. Just because its not the way they live their life they have to say because you are it's wrong? Who says!
Get rid of them!
I wouldn't care if you were always moaning or whatever but you're the most honest person I know and knowing you personally no one could be a better mum to those kids who, might I add are adorable and a credit to you!
Maybe jealousy because you're a more than capable, independent woman!
