Irish mums in Leigh?!

[Lauralinda32]

A bit random, but just wondered if there were many Irish mums (mammies!) on here?! I get homesick sometimes and it would be nice to hear others thoughts on things like teaching kids to speak Irish, choosing Irish names for our kids etc...!

Aww what part of Ireland are you from? I lived in Northern Ireland for 3 years and my oldest was born out there, lovely that you want to keep you kids in touch with their roots x

Im a Dubliner, moved to London years ago, now happily married to an Essex boy with a little toddler I have 2 books for him.. 100 First Words In Irish and that made me wonder if there were any other Irish manmies about near by!! Do you get homesick too?!

I was homesick in NI but moved back when Jack was 9 months old due to hubbies job, we used to fly back and forth a lot x

Welcome to the site! I'm not Irish but my hubbies family are they are from Carrick Macross. I know his cousins girls still do Irish Dancing and are involved with a lot of competitions but they all live in London. It took me a few years to understand his Mum and Dad!!
