Do you get given a hard time for the things you did pre DH and pre kids??? I am forever given a hard time about my time with "army guys" before I "settled" down. I know I was a bad girl in my late teens (I sometimes wonder how I didn't get pregnant or catch anything) with guys in general and did things I really shouldn't of done (I spent a bitof time in the army barracks in Linton). But they happened a good 10 years ago and the guys I spend time with here in Waiouru give me a hard time about it everytime we have a few drinks. Why can't people get over it??? ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

at them Mummy Becks, I bet they wouldn't do that if you were a guy!
... and I'm guessing that would happen a bit more within the military, would you say? From my experience, people in the Army have long memories! And the community is too small! (And to answer your question, no I don't get a hard time because I was too much of a good girl!) |

I tell ya, theres something about guys in an army uniform... I never stop perving at mine when hes in his purrrrr (except after a field exercise!)
Do they do that cos they know both you and the guys? So they think its ok to make jokes? I STILL get called a boozehag/partygirl even though I haven't had a drink since 1983 (so it feels like!) *sigh* those were some gooooood times  -------------

I am still remembered as the crazy girl.... I was a lot of fun to be around, and had a very unique look (nearly waist length cherry red hair and tattoos in interesting places) so I am not easily forgotten... the words I dread most are "do you remember the time..." nobody would dare to be outright rude though, I also had a reputation for being a pocket rocket with a short fuse - I have mellowed a lot with age, and experience has softened me, but small towns have long memories, so I almost feel I have to prove that I am now a real live grown up. ------------- http://www.babysfirstsite.com">

No before Scarfies Beck. This was when it was the old railway...I was paid to dance on the bar. One of my bosses remembered me & commented in my interview about it...  ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">

I'm married to an Air Force serviceman and I don't get hassled, but then his friends and work mates didn't know me before I was with DH. I moved towns to be with him. I did however have several affairs within the navy it was loads of fun.

I had an interview at the Railway when I was back packing about 14 years ago, can't remember why I didn't fo the job but I ended up as a waitressin a restaurant called Christophers instead. I spent about 4 months in Palmie when I was backpacking Sorry completely off topic I don't have problems as I tend not to keep in touch when i l;eave a place and I flitted around from place to place in my 20s, have hardly any school friends I keep in touch with and my long term friends all did the same things anyway so they can't talk. DH knnew me from when i was 20 so he knows it all too ------------- http://www.babysfirstsite.com">

The people I am around now don't tend to say much because it's a slightly tender subject for some of them (I met most of them when I was going out with DH's best friend...who is no longer his best friend... ). But sometimes it comes up yep, especially when we are talking about other people from the times.
One of DH's friends had HUGE difficulty being happy for DH when we first got together, becaue all he could remember was me being a pretty nasty girl in my mid to late teens, with alcohol, guys and other stuff. He got to know me though, and realised I'm not that girl anymore. |
