do you find yourself singing along to the wiggles when they come on, and you like it? do you feel like you have lost yourself somewhere in having kids...well what do you think of a online support for mothers to talk to others mothers? share their concerns fears and advice and support and hey even exchange phone numbers and help eachother with babysitting....so you think this web site would do good?

I always sing along to my daughters programmes without even realising I've seen them so much. My partner and other people who have been in the house have said to me do you know you;re singing along?! How embarrasing, they're so etched into my memory I'm doing it without thinking! x

I run a home daycare, so for the past 16 yrs I have sang the Barney songs in my sleep!!
My kids are older now, but I do still find myself singing the silly songs that the kids watch on tv.
I think that any stay at home mom would benefit from online support. Just talking with other SAHM's helps get threw different situations.

I do find myself doing all those things. I find myself enjoying the singing and dancing along with the wiggles, getting involved with Dora and whatever else we get into during the TV allowance time in the mornings. I also find a great need for time with other mothers. I joined a stay at home mom's group and it wasn't quite what I expected. I joined it more for adult talk, support, etc. Instead it turned out to be almost a competition of how many groups you are in and it was also husband bashing sessions for a lot of people. The website is a great idea. In fact there are several out there. Some are local and some are not. I just joined one a little while ago called www.cafemoms.com and www.girlfriendscafe.com. Anyway, I hope that helps.

I feel like that once in a while. I have been staying home with my son since he was born- almost 2 years now. It is the most rewarding experience, but once in a while I long to be with adults. It is good to talk with others who feel the same way, because sometimes moms feel guilty about wanting to be away from their children. But it is good to know it is normal and that others are going through the same thing. It is also good to share ideas how to keep a sense of self while still being a mom.

Very good idea. This web site would difinitely help those mothers who are not having enough time for their self. Motherhood is a difficult task. Sometmes
a mothers time is focus on her family. She forgot to breath, to find enjoyment for her self. Depression happened when a mother is full of problems. She has no one to reach out. To ask for help. This website is really very good site for mothers to unwind their problems.
