Jolly Jumper : http://perfectlysafe.stores.yahoo.net/96770.html
They're great for when they're a bit older......they love that little bit of independance and being upright. It's on a big spring and they can bounce up and down and all over the place. All my kids used to crack up!You can hook them to a frame (like in that pic) or a door frame. It was good - we could take it anywhere, if we were inside, outside chilling or doing gardening. The only downfall to them is that they're strapped in firmly, to a harness thing and if they poop in their nappy, it just squirts straight up their back :eek:
Slings are great too.....I had one....for the front though....I couldn't stand having them on my back and not being able to make eye contact etc with them.

Yeah! They're cool jolly jumpers. I want one!!! FOR ME!

Leigh and I want front slings -- what's the point of the back sling when you could have a front sling and see your baby. When I have bubs, I want to see them as much as possible.

My brother has a 17 year old and a 6 year old. I was talking about having kids and he's like "pop them out as close as you can so they get to Amy's age (6 year old)! Then you can do heaps more shit! They're a pain in the arse when they're little!

Ummmm.....I hope I appreciate their baby years a bit more than that, thanks!

Science is fucking cool. I was always a "business" student at school -- legal studies, accounting, economics etc. Sometimes I wonder if I would have been good at the sciences because I used to want to be a doctor/plastic surgeon (I love watching operatings and stuff). It's just so much more interesting than business....but I'm sure I'd get bored of it.

I'd like to be a professional writer now I reckon....whether it's published at a bookstore or making a living online....as long as I'm writing. And can stay away from PEOPLE! I hate dealing with people.

haha gotta LOVE people :eek: my faith in the human race was shot after starting at Coles..

you didn't take any senior science classes? i avoided all business subjects and did bio etc.. opposite of you haha

you mean you'd get bored of science or business? i can think of at least 5 different careers (in science) i REALLY wanna follow (and seeing boredom playing a part) but at the same time couldn't imagine doing anything different

plastic surgeon? did you watch 'anatomy for beginners' on sbs?

Why do these people have children? Go get a dog -- no don't actually! There are too many dogs sitting out in the yard with no attention whatsoever when all they want is a 1/2 hour walk and a pat.

Get a fish!

Get this....we know of couples who have finally decided it'd be trendy to have a baby and have had the baby booked into daycare before it's even born :eek: :mad:

Grrrrr.....

That's why I'm looking at ebooks etc -- I want to be around my kids as much as possible! I do think daycare is good in small doses though -- get away from mum and dad and grandparents for a while. And I understand that in today's times, people have to do what they have to do to have little ones and that may involve full time daycare.

I'm trying to figure my shit out now because I really want to be around them all the time. Can anyone tell I'm clucky? This ebook has made it waaay worse!

i love my baby bjorn it's awesome, when we do the shopping i always push the trolley with Z strapped to me in the baby bjorn and we sneak cool things in the trolley when Bianca's not looking.

and i tell zara what all the stuff is cause she loves it she looks at everything on the shelf and stuff.

bianca is also always reading to Zara, and talking to her and stuff, and cause she,s spent nine months inside B listening to PJ and kings of leon and all that she loves that type of music so i'll walk round the house singing and she'll be smiling and giggling.


Disclaimer: Good looking couple in picture are not me and the missus, they are from the baby bjorn catalog.

No!! But I wish I did!!!

I've been in business selling businesses for 4 years and I'm bored shitless.

I'm sure being a doctor and going to the same rooms would bore me.

I need to do something that takes me a month or two and makes me money and then have a break, then more onto something else etc. I've spent 10 years straight in an accounting firm, then law firm, then real estate/business broking! BORING!!!!

The beauty of the internet is it makes you money while you aren't working, you don't need staff and you don't need to deal with PEOPLE!

UUGGHH!!! Don't get me started on that!!! :mad:
I can remember when we had our first and we'd go for family dinners at Glenns Mum and Dads. Of course you get all the "don't do it like that, do it like this" etc; and I just used to smile and nod and ignore But the main thing I used to get so angry about was, eg: I'd feed Steven and be sitting there after his feed, giving him cuddles etc; whilst chatting away and if he fell asleep and I didn't need to do anything, I'd just keep holding him and let him sleep in my arms. All of Glenns family would go OFF at us!!! Saying shit like "He's asleep! You have to put him in his cot! If you keep holding him like that he'll want cuddles all the time!"
and you point being!?? How terrible if my baby wants cuddles!! :mad: He was the most content, happy, loving baby. Never had a problem as far as him not going to bed, cuz he wanted me etc;
As far as I'm concerned, my babies/children felt secure and loved and didn't need to cry etc; for attention.
Grrrrrrr!

Oh don't get me wrong....I have no problem with daycare. Both our boys did daycare, one day a week, when they were 4. Was good for them and me
But to give birth to a child, only to use as a trophy and let someone else raise them - it's child abuse IMO!
Honestly these people we know, drop the kids off at 6:30am and pick them up at 6pm. The day carer would tell them stuff like "your son crawled for the first time today" or "he walked for the first time" "said first word" etc etc. The Dad's would go to work and be bragging about it to Glenn and Glenn would just reply with a "yeah, but neither of you saw it, did ya" and just walk off. DISGUSTS me.
