Hope it's ok to put this here.
My DD1 has been promoted at work. We are so pleased for her. She has had a couple of really horrible years which she has come through with dignity and a positive attitude. She works so hard and also copes as a single ( not through choice) mum. So proud of her.

What a clever lot you all are to bring up such talented daughters. Well done you. I have no idea what it feels like as I have sons.

My DD has to fight like mad to get the necessary support for her autistic son. Appointments are set up and then cancelled at the last minute which is very frustrating particularly when early intervention is so important with this condition. I am so proud of my daughter as she used to be afraid to say boo to a goose. I am also proud of my 5 year old granddaughter for the care and support she gives to her twin. She is very tolerant and never complains about the extra attention he gets.

Same here. My DD has been fighting our local Health Trust for a year to get funding for a little known condition which we think my DGS is suffering from.

Well done our girls! How lovely to read these stories - our daughters work so hard and deserve their successes. sunshine

It's strange when you first see your children excelling at something that you couldn't do yourself! One of my daughters used to be an excellent dressmaker and even made a complete set of loose covers without a pattern. The other is a great cook and gardener, which she certainly didn't learn from me.
Having daughters is like having a second bite at the cherry - of course I am now on my fourth bite!

Girls can do anything! That was a badge my daughter made once at a Greenham rally! Great to hear of successful young women..well done to them all!

gracesmum Tue 16-Apr-13 22:16:50

Can I share my DD's news about the production she has designed of As You Like It at the RST in Stratford which opened for previews on her birthday last Friday. The actual first night is this Saturday and I am always so proud when I go to one of her plays. I wonder when and where my "little girl" learned to do these things!!!

ginny Tue 16-Apr-13 22:12:22

All proud Mums are welcome to join in. Good news shared is doubled.

Well done to all clever daughters and their mums. wine

grannyactivist Tue 16-Apr-13 20:09:44

Well done Gally's daughter. grin I can understand your anger though.

gracesmum Tue 16-Apr-13 19:55:06

Congratulations to clever and successful DDS, but Gally that is so sad. Is there really no way round this? DH and I were having this conversation today about "equal employment rights" for women and how in the early 70's when we had graduated and he had qualified as a CA (I was a teacher) we could actually manage on ONE income - poor mind you, but we had a decent sized house, a car and we coped. Nowadays very very few couples in their 20's can buy a house and manage on one income, unless one is a merchant banker. So have we really progressed all that much? Sometimes I feel we women have won the battle but lost the war.

Gally Tue 16-Apr-13 19:43:47

Well done girls and congratulations to their Mums too for producing such talented young ladies! It's great to know that they are all doing so well flowers
Perhaps I can add my most junior daughter who has been promoted too having just returned after maternity leave; she will have to go almost full time and sadly, for the first year will actually not be able to take any of her earnings home - it will all go on childcare until the eldest goes to school in 2014. She works so hard both at home with very small children and at work where she always puts in 120%. Two degrees and it's come to this - I feel a letter coming on to Mrs Theresa May, her MP angry

You have every right to be proud of your children.
