Money and your
relationship
According to Relate, the UK's largest relationships and sex counselling
charity, the most common topic for arguments between couples is
money. The majority of arguments are about how money is spent. Compounding
this is the problem that money is, for many people, as taboo a subject
as sex and talking about it difficult. Becoming parents is a common
time for money to get in the way of parenting, discover the cost
to your relationship.
 Germ
warfare
In today's world of bleaches, disinfectants and antibacterial sprays
and cloths, cleanliness is next to godliness. Parents, however,
can forget godliness; cleanliness is next to impossible when you're
juggling work with family life. But don't despair. In a society
that believes the only good germ is a dead one, our obsession with
cleanliness could actually be causing more problems than it prevents.
On
the couch
Every day mums come to the babyworld
forums to ask other mums for help, guidance and reassurance with
their parenting problems and we have turned to these, your real-life
issues, as a basis for this series. Parent coach, Debbie Lewis,
tackles two issues -new baby jealousy and unhappy partings at nursery.
Cot

What's
that you said?
We
love to hear from you and this month we want to share this message
from Sharon who has been a regular visitor to our Losing a baby
forum
"Firstly, let me say thank you for such a great site. I had
a miscarriage 4 weeks ago and I have found tremendous support from
the various forums on the site. It has been so helpful to "speak"
to other women who have gone through the same experience and know
how you are feeling.
Secondly, I thought I would let you know that, through your site,
I am now back in touch with my best friend from school! I have posted
quite a few times on your site and have continued to use my maiden
name. My friend recognised the surname and out of curiosity looked
at my pregnancy diary to see if there were any hints as to whether
I was who she thought I was!
After a couple of days deliberating she posted a message on the
Forum for my attention. Imagine my surprise when I opened the message.
We haven't seen or spoken to each other in over 17 years!!! We were
best friends from the age of 8 to 16 but lost touch when we went
to separate colleges. We've exchanged a few emails already but have
got loads of news (17 years worth) to catch up on and it's fantastic
to be back in touch with her again. Thank you Babyworld!"
