Hi.
I'm 27 (still adjusting to that number :eek:).
I have a wonderful daughter who is nearly 7.
Her bio dad did a runner when I got pregnant, I met someone else and was with him for 6 years and we split a year ago.
So back to being a single parent and it's a lot easier this time around.
She's great craic and great company for me. So proud of her and she's loved by all

Thanks for that ash, Ive often wondered why some guys do a runner, our daughter was born when we were not married, never never could I even think of doing something like that. Our friends were out havin a good time while we were knee deep in it but loved it. And to see her now, her whole world in front of here with her in college and now driving (oh god!! haha) .
If you have a look at a few post on this site you will see fathers trying to make contact with someone who they left out of their lives and it must be hard for them and yet their are some guys who want contact with their kids and our crazy laws restrict them from having contact. When our daughter was born I had to "Adopt" her, only in this crazy country !!.

What section is that in as a matter of interest? Just in case he's looking for her? :rolleyes:

Hi Ash it was in either Personals Issues or Relationships section, Ive tried to look it up but the search is down. But I do remember seeing something from a Father looking for his rights. If you are looking for info on unmarried/seperated fathers, have a look at my signature.

Only just noticed this thread now. D'oh.
I'm a 30-something mum to a 1YO boy, married and also a stepmum to a 10YO girl. That gives me loads of experience in supporting my now husband through the courts system and the ups and down of combined parenting.

Just noticed this myself

I'm 32 and living in dublin. Had my first child , my daughter now 12 when I was just gone 20. It was unplanned and I had major hassles as I was still living at home and was in college at the time.

Still with her dad. We got married last year and are expecting our second in mid november so gonna be living with a teenager and a newborn..thats going to be interesting....

Been a fair share of sadness along the way - I've had a few pregnanices in between but they ended for various reasons

Love being a parent - its the best thing I ever did and despite the stress and the days you want to kill them its the most amazing feeling in the world.

Hi all I'm John, 27 in February.
I will be a proud father in August. We had a 10 week scan done
last week in Spain, the wife has full cover there, but we both live in
north Dublin. Apparently I was told a tear was in my eye when I heard the heartbeat, I disagreed but a very nice feeling did overcome me!

Next scan @ 20 weeks in Holles St in Dublin.

Look forward to chatting with some of you in the future

All the best


I like this one:

Hi everyone!

I'm 27, living in Waterford and have been married for over 2 years to my wonderful husband and am now a very proud mommie to my little girl who was born just 3 weeks ago! I had an extremely difficult 26hour labour, but when she arrived it really was all worth it! I am still adjusting to motherhood but absolutely adore her.

Hadnt seen this before, I've been posting on boards for years, usually on photography but also my husband uses the profile on music and football etc.

So I'm married with 2 kids, working as a photographer, families, weddings and kids and slowly but surely getting more and more addicted to boards;)

Greetings everyone!!
My name is Yardana, I'm 22 and married to Paul, who is 24. We met on some goofy social networking site 11 years ago...and had been writing, calling, webcamming, ect for all those years. Both of us were completely head over heels in love with each other all of that time and never knew the others feelings...until at some point in early 2009 he professed said love in a video conversation...in a matter of days, I literally gave up everything I owned save for two suitcases and flew 7500 miles to be with him. Since, we have been living in several different countries...a long story but the vast majority of the world won't let us be together due to needing a lot of money we didn't have to move an immigrant to one land or another. Sadly, due to this and some hurrying circumstances, Paul was forced to decide and chose to leave behind as well everything he owned...to follow love to the ends of the earth. [Neither of us have ever broken a law in our adult lives, so its nothing like that...will be happy to explain the story further if asked.] So, eventually, after hopping around, we ended up here in Ireland...the land of my grandfolk. From where you came, to where you shall return again...

I am, as I write, 10 1/2 weeks pregnant with our first child-whose mother was born in one country and father in another, who was concieved in a different country, will be born in another, and will have the birthright to four citizenships of his or her choice (oh, the places he/she can go when they are older!)...our families call it the patchwork baby!

We're fairly new here to Ireland, we live in Dublin 15 and are hoping very much to meet other parents/parents to be that we can be friends with :pac:

Hi all. I'm a 35 year old mum in the West of this green island, and my hubby and I finally had our little boy last year, after almost 7 years of trying/treatments/surgery etc.
I haven't adjusted as easily as I expected but I'm getting there now!
I have a totally new respect for single parents, parents of multiples and particularly parents of sick kids - well done to all!

cynder

Married 2 years together 13 going on 14 and not yet 30. Mother of 3, ages nearly 11 nearly 5 (was 5 weeks premature) and a 3 year old.

I gave up work 1 year ago to look after the kids as the 3 year old has possible asd/adhd and is undergoing continuous assessment and is receiving early intervention and the nearly 11 year old is diabetic and has nearly died twice.

My husband had cancer and is in remission for the last 2.5 years and is a software developer. Bought are own house 5 years ago but are now considering leaving Ireland.

We've had a lot of ups and downs and hit every hurdle we possibly could, but still going strong.

didn't know this thread was here! just saw it mentioned in another thread!

I'm 20, have a beautiful 2 year old (nearly 3) girl, have been with her father for 5 years.

Im currently sitting my final exams in college, and am working part-time in a shop until im finished college and then I'll take up full time employment (fingers crossed), working round the hours the OH works cause right now childcare costs are killing us!

thats pretty much it! alot more happy now im finishing college because it was awful stressful trying to juggle everything! and now ive alot more time to spend with my daughter, once i come home from work i can relax and play with her! instead of studying/reading/writing two thesis (theses?? still dont know the plural of thesis!). really happy right now!

I've been posting on Boards for what seems like years. I have one little boy and we've just had another and he's coming home to me tomorrow after a severely dodgy few days for him and his mum in hospital. I'm fucking delighted and so happy.
