Completely relate to the whole friends thing. Was very hard for me as I was moved to a girls out of school unit to carry on and do my GCSE's. All the girls there were either pregnant or trouble makers (bad mixture!) To this day only two of my friends have something to do with me, the rest walked away and are only now trying to contact me, but they can do one for all I care.
Oh bless her, glad she's doing well. I found that with my eldest when my middle one was born, he was very protective of him, shame it's gone the other way now though! They can't tolerate each other most of the time which makes it very difficult, our days are full of fighting and shouting at each other
I'm the referee in their fights, and they try and play me off against my OH which is there soon to be stepdad.
They were so excited when Millie came home and both demanded cuddles! Novelty wore off for my youngest boy, he's going through a bit of a rough time age wise so is fairly hard to please right now, he gets very frustrated with Millie crying and is always demanding cuddles from me, he has moments of cooing over her though and gives her kisses when he thinks no one is watching lol.
My eldest is brilliant with her though, and helps me out so much, if I'm trying to get something done he offers to sit with her and hold her/play with her until I'm done, he's a very caring boy and it's really coming out, he's very protective of her.
My middle son is fine if it's just me, him and Millie though, he enjoys when just them to have a bath together and helps me to wash her and wash her hair, so I know there's no love lost between them, it's just he was babied quite alot by me and my OH, so there's bound to be jealousy issues. Hopefully they'll resolve the older they get
Thank you, my OH chose the name, and her middle name is in honour of my grandad bryan who sadly passed away 6 weeks before she was born. It was originally just going to be Millie Rose. Always loved the name Ruby!! But it just does not go with my surname! xx
