girlintheblue Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 I am NelLive in Newcastle - South Africa 2 kids - 1 is 23 years old (few months younger than Mika) and the other one is 16. And I am almost 50! My youngest one calls me positively (Mika) mad and my husband has no clue what the fuss is all about. When I made my best friend Mika-mad (see the South African thread) (she has a daughter of 20) her husband started to make all kinds of remarks about this Mika 'crush'. So I told him that if they think they are the only ones who can use their eyes they are wrong. The reply was a mumble and something like menopause............ How easy to always blame our hormones for everything. Lucky me is, however, always at home. I clean the house, do the garden (3600 m2), take care of our 8 rescued dogs and 2 cats and the parrot, I do the bookkeeping for our own business, and take care of our 1 remaining son at home. And if needed I am the taxi, the cook, the nurse etc etc etc. I think we know the drill. But when my husband and son leave in the morning for work and school I take my Mika time (about 1 hour). And if I have time during the day/night I also do some Mika time. Is it really so bad that we women also want something for ourselves? Think this is enough. Nel Which place am I? I love your comment about wanting something for ourselves!!! Go girl!!! Come and visit us in oldlings sometime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girlintheblue Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 OK, I have something that mothers everywhere will be able to relate to! My 8 year old's homework for Monday is to think of a Roman artefact and make it out of household junk!! Aaaaghh!!! I hate homework like that! Give me a maths sheet any day! Guess what I'll be doing tomorrow?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasje Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Ooohw... you can count me in, although I'm not old enough to be Mika's mother... :roftl: I am not in this world for sure!!! I have 2 kids, a boy (8 years old) and a daughter (6 years old) I manage to get on the computer when the kids are at school and when they are in bed:biggrin2: And about my household?? Eeeeh.... you don't wanna know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mouselle Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 I'm in here, 2 boys, 16 and 19, both lanky beanpoles, curly hair. I look at Mika and it gets weird, so I must be in it for the music! My husband looks at me strangely, and says he thought I was well past getting obsessed by musicians... My eldest thinks Mika is quite good and wants to go to Sunrise in Sydeny with me (if it really happens)! So I can hide behind him, and just be the clinging mother who needs to guard the nestling. (So much less embarrassing than being the aging woman drooling over the pretty young thing - or it it???) (Nope, they are both bad, sad and plain wrong!) It's all about the music, nothing but the music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendi Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Hi there - I live in central Scotland - I have 3 sons, 25, 18 & 17 and two daughters aged 15 & 13. I have a step-son of 33 as well!! I have to try and get on here before they come in from school, otherwise I wont get on till they have gone to bed - and by then I am too tired. I find leaving here difficult too - its almost hypnotic - and there are so many lovely people on here - they cheer you up when you are feeling down or sore, and they share happiness with you too!!! A lovely second home for my second family!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest vuyk@telkomsa.net Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Why is it that always when you say you want something for yourself it triggers reactions. I like the reaction here about wanting something for yourself, but more often the reaction is one of "why? You are at home all the time?" As if being at home somehow is synonymous with "not doing anything at all!". I would most certainly have an easier life if I was working for a boss. Maid at home, gardenboy etc. etc. But let me stop about that. What I would like to know is: Who knows anything about computers. I have this new computer and ever since we started to work on this new one my Mika homepage gets stuck. And no admins have been able to help me out on this one. Maybe one of you knows what else i can look at. I have checked my cookies (never knew they had that in computers but I am learning) and they seem to be almost the same as those that i read in my old computer. What else could I look at. Connecting my old computer again to see what the difference is is not an option anymore. At this moment I log in but the MFC home page doesn't seem to know that I logged out yesterday. Then i can only see some of the replies on threads and have to go to a member and through their answers I can get into the present again. But it is not nice to be on the MFC like this. So I would like some advise. Please, I am learning but do not know enough yet. And I do not want to be dependent on so-called computer experts that look at you with that look that says: Yah, typical woman!

Big Girl Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Hi guys I live in Cambridgeshire, UK. I have 2 boys (11 & 5) I work full time... and I try to fit in as much MFC as I can, but don't get to post as much as I'd like anymore... after I realised that perhaps I was neglecting the housework, sleeping, feeding the kids... that kind of thing! Love your original post Blue sky... I think I can relate to just about all of that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatagordinha Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Well I am married with two kids, 8 and 5, and I definitely identify with this club!! Officially I am a full-time Mum. In reality, these days, I am a full-time Mikaholic. There's not a lot of domestic goddess stuff going on in my house these days Please count me in; sometimes I feel like a complete freak and it's good to know I'm not the only one "pretending to do serious work on the computer" all day! (Well most of theday - I do still manage to tend to the children's basic needs!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, for those who would like their number for their sig line vuyk @telkomsa.net (Nel) #9 Sasje #10 Avoca #11 Mouselle #12 Wendi #13 Big Girl #14 looby1173 #15 Gatagordinha #16 I am so happy there are so many of us here.

(Unfortunately Tokyo does not offer Marks & Sparks ready made meals....!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Nel South Africa Nel I am no techie but we had trouble using Internet explorer, so I downloaded the Firefox browser and use that as my main web browser now. If I go to IE by accident, again it runs all the pages really slow. Don't know if it will help, but worth a try..it is a free download. http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
