Share some good news!!!

Share some good news!!!

Hi everyone,

I thought it would be a good start to the year to write any good news here 🙂

So I am going to start with some very exciting news:

My son (24 yr old) has been accepted into the police force. He passed his panel interview last Friday. They told him it would take 3 weeks but he received an email today. He now has to wait for induction at the Academy. I guess they will phone him soon.

I AM THE PROUDEST MUM EVER!!! is an understatement. I am so proud of him, he has wanted this for years and failed once but kept trying. I am so happy for him, when he rang me and told me I was almost crying and then I phoned my sister and a few close friends. It's like I got into the Academy. But I am feeling that this year is a really good start; next we sell our home and then move into a place that we decide and pick for us, with no parents involvment. I AM SOOOOO HAPPY!!!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂

@BlueBay Even though that is sad for you don't let go of the happiness - you will get to share this joy with those that are with you and love you - and that is a blessing! I am sure they appreciate everything you have done for them - they wouldn't be such wonderful kids (adults) if they didn't recognise both your love and your sacrifices. Cherish these moments my friend - you are moving closer to the light and to even brighter days to come

Re: Share some good news!!!

Yes @Kurra this is the dream I had of holding a baby and the calmness and peace I felt.
But now my negative mind is saying to me - what would my parents or mum say, my daughter isn't married or engaged. And the rest of my family. She will be judged and so will I for not being s good mum. Having all these self hate negative thoughts.
I'm teary for the amount of gossip in our small tight knit community. Word gets around very quickly.

Do you know what @BlueBay? It's none of their business. What they think really doesn't matter. This is 2017 not 1940!

Don't worry about them just enjoy the excitement of a new family member who will arrive before Christmas!
Luv n Hugzzz 💕 🎶

@utopia thankyou. Funny you can see a girl because I told her the same thing!!! I'm mixed now with emotions.
Yes this baby will be very spoiled. And just before Christmas.
I'm feeling sad that my dad can't hear the good news.

Hi @Decadian
I'm so excited. Each second I think of this little baby. Things will change. We may have them live with us for a while until they can save enough to buy a house. Mind you I won't mind having the bsby around.
You know Dec I'm going to be the best grandma around. I want to be around for my daughter and her baby.
I won't let my mum ruin my happiness with her judgement and if she finds out snd says something to my sister I will be angry. She will have a great grandchild that she won't even know. That's sad for my dad. But I'm so happy. I think my daughter and boyfriend are still in shock but I know she will be a good mum. And I'll be beside her the whole way.

Re: Share some good news!!!

@BlueBay. As I was reading your good news -I kept seeing a little baby girl.
Sorry - but this will be blunt. But your parents have no rights re: this little baby. They have no say in the parents not being married. They have no say in labeling your dtr as no morals or you as a bad mother. They have no say in any of it.
That is what they both chose - when they chose to not do right by you and your family. Do you really think they would be good great grandparents to this little one? Because they can't even be good parents to you or grandparents to your kids. That is what they chose. They have no moral high ground to stand on. They have proved who they are.
Is it really that you think they would be good - or is it the dream image - that you would like them to be the best grandparents.
I'm harsh - I know. But I say this because - once again - you were having an amazing once in a lifetime experience - the announcement of your future first grandchild. And yet - the focus is back on these people - bringing you down.
This little baby & her parents - don't need these people in their life.
They need you & your hubby - huffy puffy grandpa - who will be smitten with this little one.
They need you to be who you are. To spoil this little girl with love hugs and kisses. You will not be a judgemental grandma. You will be the loving grandma. The one this little baby will choose to spend time with.
YOU @BlueBay - are all that matters to this little baby and her parents.
Focus on that. I love you. You are a wonderful woman. And YOU deserve this happiness.
