    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/member_profile.asp?PF=18371">Babe</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 25947<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> 22 April 2009 at 10:29am<br /><br />He was in Invercargill which is like HOURS away!!!!!!!!! Hes home now and its soooo good!!!! Lol I keep listening for him and just watching him I'm so glad hes home! <br /><br />My parents had already planned the trip down coz my lil bro and sis are down there and when I had my PND meltdown I knew I couldn't look after Jake while they were away. I don't know very many people and I absolutely HAD to have a break. My dad was so excited lol he was sure everybody who met Jake would fall in love, his enthusiasm was so gorgeous!! Of course everyone DID fall in love with my perfect child but hey its his mummys delightful genes coming through <img border="0" src="https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0"><br /><br />Hes grown abit and hes doing things he wasn't doing when he left but I think thats the influence of my little cousins lol 7 & 10 yr old rough and tumble boys. Hes so cute!!<br /><br />It was really interesting my parents commented that Jake was totally fine with playfighting (which is good as my family do it ALOT) but as soon as he picked up an aggressive edge (even if it was still playful) he completely freaked out and was inconsolable! My uncle was chasing one of my cousins through the house and she threw herself into the bathroom and slammed the door. Jake had been in the hallway (which was dark but he had gone exploring) and they'd run around him. Someone said watch for Jake and everyone looked and all there was was big whites of his eyes then hysterical terrified screams! It took 4 days for him to go near my uncle again even though he'd been besotted with him as soon as they'd met. I think its the history I have during my pregnancy and his early months. Its only if MALES get aggressive so that says something.<br /><br />Anyway this turned into abit of a novel lol its really good to have my baby home and oh my I am SOOOO clucky!!!!]]>

It is now up to the two involved to resolve it or choose not to - I think it's their fight not our's to take sides.  And I don't think it's helpful bringing the topic into other threads elsewhere - it just really makes things unpleasant for people, and people often take sides which can really hurt either person involved, even though it is simply a website forum!!<br /><br />Since it's between two people - perhaps they could resolve the matter privately?<br /><br />Anyway, all the best with your pregnancies and children :)  Today my mother took me shopping for maternity clothes... I have a bump even at 11wks!  It is SUCH a relief around my belly, I am telling you!!<br /><br />]]>

I do have <strong>first hand knowledge</strong> of a blended family situation as I have been there and done that.<br /><br />SO ..<br /><br />I stand by everything I said including the fact that I think its sad that there is still a his, mine and our mentality when it comes to blended families (mostly because in my family we are all family, no matter who our parents are or who we are being bought up by and everything is divided equally amongst the whanau, and extended whanau, not just direct!).. just as those of you who dont agree with me stand by your thoughts .. and thats the whole point of living in a democratic society .. we dont have to agree with each other. <img border="0" src="https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0"><br /><br />Now ..<br /><br />I at no stage did I personally attack (and name) another member of this forum .. yes ... I said what others said in a more blunt fashion (as cant be arsed with flowery writing) but I can count about 10 people who agreed with me who werent "abused" in the same manner .. so I will not apologise for what I said .. but if Selena has "hurt feelings" because I didnt say what she wanted to here then I apologise for that.  <img border="0" src="https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0"><br /><br />Oh and Babe .. that was THE MOST beautiful poem I have ever read ... (well maybe second most beautiful) .. the one DH wrote me when he proposed still might be my absolute favourite <img border="0" src="https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0"> ]]>

    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/member_profile.asp?PF=21664">anon</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 25947<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> 21 April 2009 at 11:51am<br /><br />Hello girls - I really don't know any of you, and I don't really want to get involved... but having read from the beginning to the end I did want to say a couple of things.<br /><br />I actually can see the point of view from both sides.  It is actually difficult sharing something personal from your life, and yes you do want other's opinions - but you want them given in a respectful and supportive manner.  I have been on another forum where I have expressed my own feelings about something and found people quick to judge when giving their opinion, which I've found difficult, and it stopped me from sharing actually.  <br /><br />I think when people share something personal from their lives, to realise they are looking for other's opinions, but also when giving it, to do so respectfully and without leaping to judgments about that person so that this forum/these threads remain a safe place to share things.  We need to remember that when people share, they are just giving a snippet of the situation and we don't really know the full story or what it's like in their shoes, so we should not assume bad things about that person even if it does hit a raw nerve to do with our own situation.  <br /><br />So I actually can see why there was such a strong reaction back at lil since some of her comments could have been seen to be a personal attack.<br /><br />On the other hand, the personal attacks made on lil were harsh and hurtful.  It would be nice if both parties could see the other's point of view and apologize to one another.  We are all capable of saying the wrong thing and hurting others with our words (especially when a topic hits a raw nerve or we get angry) but we need to take responsibility for that and put ourselves in the other person's shoes.<br /><br />I don't spend a lot of time in other threads so I can't speak for everyone, but I will say that all the girls in the November forum are nothing but supportive, and in that sense it is a really safe place to share things - though the topics are largely consoling with one another's m/s <img border="0" src="https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/smileys/smiley17.gif" border="0">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm very grateful to have other pregnant women to talk to going thru a lot of the same issues as me.<br /><br />Thanks for hearing my 2c (she says in fear and trepidation of being pulled apart!!  <img border="0" src="https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/smileys/smiley6.gif" border="0"> )  I hope things can be resolved between these two and the forums return to being a little more supportive of one another as they usually are.  Now - back to my lovely little November haven...]]>

It kinda would've symbolised the commitment he had to someone who wasn't me IYKWIM?! In saying that I brought a child into the relationship <img border="0" src="https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/smileys/smiley17.gif" border="0"> <br /><br />I'm lucky as DP has taken Jake on board as his own son utterly and completely. With him being a newborn when we got together and already knowing each other for so long and now with Jakes bio dad off the scene I think we had an easier setup than others on this thread but I still admire my DP for being able to put aside the fact that Jake has another mans dna and loving him completely and without reservation. It can't always be an easy thing to do.<br /><br />I feel for the children in a situation like this considering how young they are. Theres an awful lot of emotional complications that THEY have to deal with too and I think its really sad. I believe all children should be loved to the best of our abilities and to a certain extent we need to protect their innocence. They don't have the hangups we adults have and learning about those hangups too early takes away an important part of their childhood. All children need acceptance and its the job of parents, whether adopted, step, foster or biological, to provide that. Thats my opinion anyway <img border="0" src="https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0">]]>

The inheritance thing does make it a bit trickier. Members of the family are suppose to be equals, and so all 3 of the children should get their fair share. I would most probably take into account the amount of inheritance the two older children will get and factor that into the amount the younger (unborn child at the mo) would get.</P><P>I come from a kinda blended family, I have 3 older half sisters and an older half brother. But there is not one hint of his/her children. We've always considered ourselves full brothers and sisters (we have a younger sister and brother as well). So find it kinda weird that some couples still have that his/her children mentality.</P>]]>

    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/member_profile.asp?PF=17911">SMoody</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 25947<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> 19 April 2009 at 9:05am<br /><br />Okay on the blended family thing. We dont have one so it is a bit difficult putting myself in your shoes.<br /><br />But from a different perspective: I dont know your personal situation but is the mother of the other two still alive? Did you physically adopt these kids? I feel if you physically adopt them they are yours and should be treated like this. However if they inherited already (like you mentioned once) that can be brought into calculations as well.<br /><br />If you didnt and their mom is still alive or if she has passed but they did inherit, I would let that influence my decision.<br /><br />Then it comes in that you are not working and DH is the only one working. Look at how you run finances. Is it our finances? Like in 50/50 or does he have more of a say in this. If it is 50/50 then that is how it should be split. Then in the will he can state what he wants done with 50% of it and you 50% of it.<br /><br />So say for in case he goes first. 50% goes to you and then the other 50% in his estate is divided as he wanted. (wether that is that all 4 of you get an equal share or just divided in 3 for the kids).<br /><br />If you go first the same applies. And if both goes it goes according to the 50% stuff you guys decided. If it isnt 50/50 then I think it is time for you guys to rethink finances and how it is done. <br /><br />If the kids are still small I think that their continued support if both of you goes need to be considered. Whether that is that you guys perhaps take a life insurance out that gets paid out perhaps to each child. It isnt that expensive actually and might actually solve this whole problem for you.<br /><br />Now onto the fun stuff: Clothes. My opinion: Baby stuff they grow out so quickly that I am not too bothered about name brands ect. Been into Pumpkin patch a few times for Andrew but it is way overpriced and didnt like the stuff they had there. Been on the outlet stores and only bought some hats. One grandparent bought one outfit (which I dont like much for a boy)<br /><br />I like K-Mart and Farmers and Baby factory. Warehouse is overpriced and their stuff just stretched.<br /><br />So guess I am not in the cool club?<img border="0" src="https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/smileys/smiley8.gif" border="0">  <img border="0" src="https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0"> ]]>

Im amazed at the audacity to ask for peoples opinions then have a temper tantrum because people dont agree with you.  <br /><br />I was told to come to the forum as we have just found out we are having our first child <img border="0" src="https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/smileys/smiley10.gif" border="0"> and that this was a supportive environment, and although I have seen many people come into this topic to stand up for the one person you have singled out, this is not what I would have expected after being told that this was the place to be to share your pregnancy with other mums to be!<br /><br />Hopefully you were just having a very bad day as I am definately having second thoughts about joining this forum now <img border="0" src="https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/smileys/smiley6.gif" border="0"><br /><br />Back to your original question.  I dont think what you had planned is fair, but then again, if its your money, you can do whatever you feel like.  I just truely hope that if something should happen between my husband and myself and he remarries, that he choses a woman who will take on my child as her own, especially if it is as young as I think the children you were discussing are.]]>

Missed a good bun fight by being away for 1 day.<br /><br />As someone who has recently acquired a step-family at 35 I don't see anything wrong with the OP. In the end its your will also so you are entitled to do what you want with your assets.<br /><br />In our wills, currently DH's money goes to my 2 nieces, as there aren't any other children in the family. My brother is getting re-married and taking on responsibility for raising his partners daughter but I don't view her as our niece. <br /><br />With blended families it seems its difficult to get the right balance, regardless of the ages of the children it seems. Do what works for you.]]>

I think the English stuff that weve got for Elias so far is the nicest, so damn the exchange rate! grr. Cant wait till he fits Billabong and quicksilver then he will look really cool. Clothes suck up til then for boys I reckon. There will be a long phase of super/cartoon heros untill then I suspect. And Isabelle will probably go down the 'I am a princess' sense of fashion until she fits Roxy. <br />Man cant wait until I get them surfing <img border="0" src="https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0"> <img border="0" src="https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/smileys/smiley16.gif" border="0"> ]]>

The gremlins totally trash most of their clothes, and pretty much the only things of Maya's that I keep for them these days are jeans and the odd hoodie.]]>

I remember being really jealous of my friend when I was preg with the gremlins and she was preg with a singleton coz she got all his clothes on TM but I couldn't coz I needed 2 of everything.<br /><br />Mind you, perks of the job mean I get a good discount on stuff...]]>

But we buy all sorts of other brands off there as well.<br /><br />]]>
