But you'll find out when you cross that bridge. thanks for being so sweet. And I know on a subliminal level that I am not messing up. But, a huge part of motherhood (or parenthood) is guilt so I guess I am being normal. :DMenchiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07474186474395126654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15466387.post-36406996695171797182007-02-22T09:36:00.000+08:002007-02-22T09:36:00.000+08:00I think that just being a "mummy" should be enough...I think that just being a "mummy" should be enough for anybody. I'm really looking forward to motherhood, although it's years away for me! The "yummy" part shouldn't matter. Being healthy and happy goes without saying, but without trying to be sexy. Menchi, your kids sounds wonderful! I hope I go as well at being a mother as you obviously do! :)Stacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13293741467822618216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15466387.post-39012582558062022832007-02-22T09:15:00.000+08:002007-02-22T09:15:00.000+08:00Keshi sweetie!

I wanted to buy the book but I'd already spent so much on the 13 that I bought that I had to pass. I had browsed a couple of pages (and the ending -- weird quirk of mine) and I wanted to buy it.

Working women struggle to find a balance and I think that the key is not to overcompensate. It is so hard being a working woman, then a mum, then a wife and then a me. Some days I smile as I think that I've found the right balance, whilst other days I sit crying in a corner.<BR/><BR/>Just be true to yourself and your kids will love you for it. Well that's my plan/theory.<BR/><BR/>xxxCarolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04470638074202676460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15466387.post-78586481250844547772007-02-21T21:09:00.000+08:002007-02-21T21:09:00.000+08:00Ces,You made me laugh with your Yummy Tummy.

My children think I am beautiful and they love my tummy (Faith sleeps on it most nights) so i guess that makes me a yummy tummy too! <BR/><BR/>I guess there is a negative connotation to the term (even the book alluded to it). Some take it to the extreme though.Menchiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07474186474395126654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15466387.post-38883782969490470072007-02-21T20:01:00.000+08:002007-02-21T20:01:00.000+08:00I hope you are not trying to be a Yummy Mummy.

I was a Yummy Mummy if one just takes the definition of size 6 after birth though mine was a non-surgical delivery so even more miraculous that I went back to a size 6 two months after delivery. HOWEVER, today I am a Yummy Tummy - it happens with real women. I just want to be healthy, happy and deal with the reality of raising teenagers directly, not through surrogates like nannies and boarding schools. I'd settle for real life with friends like mine and the hope that someday I will meet you.Ces Adoriohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17338000465619901229noreply@blogger.com
