One of my best friends, or so I thought she was. I invited her to my daughters christening, and RSVP-ed that she could come. And then she didn't show. No email, no SMS, nothing to say she wasn't coming or to apologise or anything....

SilPhil We had been friends for about 10 years. We met in high school, and managed to keep in touch after we graduated, even though we lived at opposite ends of the city. The thing that really gets me, is that after my daughter was born, I've been the one that...

I know my husband would never cheat on me, but this weekend just passed has been the third time someone has accused him of cheating on me. The problem is - women find it easy to confide in him, and become friends with him. This...

SilPhil When they go for private conversations, it's not like they go behind closed doors. They just move away from the group, because they don't want the rest to hear whats going on. This latest instant is I stopped by so hubby coud see his daughter, and this...

Before I had my daughter, I had a pretty active life, and I thought I had lots of friends. But as soon as I got pregnant and she was born, most of them seemed to disappear.... it's funny how life events make you realise just...

SilPhil Thank you so much for that response!! I am feeling so down and lonely tonight, even bubs is asleep so mylot is all the company I have for the time being. You are so right about being able to count the true friends on one hand. Friends help you move....

I always find it funny that you could buy a child the most expensive toy ever, and it gets rejected for something that cost nowhere near as much. My daughters favourite toy is this brightly coloured spider that is on a spring....

SilPhil Hehe - its funny the things they pick to be the best toy!! My first Christmas I was with my hubby, I bought our neice a toy dog (it was her first Christmas). She is now 7, and that dog is still her favourite toy, and I think it cost me maybe $5?? I'm...

GRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!! I am so mad and I want to vent, and this looks like a good place to do it!! As my daughter out grwos her clothes, I sell them on ebay. Why not - they've hardly been worn, so someone else may as well save a...

SilPhil Wow, I never knew ebay recommended the buyer leave feedback first. I basically leave it whenever I'm happy - so as a seller when I've received payment, and as buyer once I've received my item. That will all be changing now!! Thanks for the tip!

I need help. My whole life is falling apart, and I don't know where to turn. My DD was born in October last year, and everything started out fine. However, at her 6 week check-up, she had only gained 80g and wasn't even back to...

SilPhil Things are going much better, thanks for asking. We started going to counselling, and the counsellor told us flat out that Brooke has to go! She's almost gone. She is actually living somewhere else, but her furniture is still here. She finally answered my...

Why are our children being forced to grow up so fast?? My daughter is nearly 6 months old and will be starting swimming lessons, so I went to buy her some bathers (size 00). You know what I found? The only baby bathers they had...

SilPhil I'm in Australia - I tried my local Kmart and Target they only had bikinis. I had to go to Myer and David Jones to find something suitable!

SilPhil Some of the clothes and things being marketed at kids today is just ridiculous. Boob tubes, little girls bra things, heels. Let kids just be kids!! Let them keep their innocence!!

SilPhil I'm not tired of nursing her but he had two days off work last week, and both days I had to drop her at daycare and pick her up before and after my work. When I have time off, she stays home so we can save money. I don't see why it can't go both ways? I'm...

SilPhil Wow, excellent point! Maybe I should be more specific about what he can do to help, rather than just expecting him to know. I'm sure he wants to help and be more involved, he just doesn't know how to, or what to do.

SilPhil Cool, tips from a man who's been there! See I wouldn't mind if he took her with him to do his remote controls or whatever. I guess that maybe at the moment she's just too young to enjoy the same things as him.

SilPhil I know! He complains about hardly seeing her during the week because of work, yet he has a day off and doesn't want to spend the time with her? I just don't get it!

SilPhil Thanks. :) He is a bit immature, but I knew that when I married him. I think that maybe he is just still adjusting to the changes that come with a baby. He wants to be the same person he was before, and I guess to two just don't mesh. I like to give him his...

SilPhil I know. It's just easier to vent on here first, then I calm down a bit before I actually talk to him. Otherwise I'm likely to tear his head off! Hehehe. Good news is we did talk, and he's taken bubs off tool shopping. Should be interesting for her!!

SilPhil See it wouldn't be a problem for me if the things were being used. My philosphy is if I'm not going to use it, I'll put it on ebay so that it can be appreciated and valued. But nope, still no luck with him. He would rather it was stashed away in a box, never...
