A quick bump - collecting her soon and am already getting tense

Flame,
I've just read your last post and I know just how you feel sometimes, though my little girl is easier than yours, I think. My DD started school this year (we're in France so they start at 3) and has really struggled with social aspects (she has some sort of language disorder) and has displayed frustration at her inability to communicate. Sometimes I get really mad at her and feel like a bad mother, too, because it's not her fault and she can't express herself better, so just send you <<hugs>> for that one because it's a horrible way to feel.
Can you organise time with just you and DD? This always helps my DD - especially if we can do something that she really enjoys, like swimming pool. I also have a DS who's only 10 mo and only just stopped b'feeding so it's been hard for DD who had me to herself for the first 3 years. Really hope that things get better soon! I'm just coming out of a bad patch myself so can really sympathise!

Flame, I've got no advice to offer, but sending a hug

Thank you We're going swimming in the holidays, just the two of us.

I think we need more time together to learn to like each other more again.

I really hope her hearing appointment comes through soon, so we can know what is going on one way or the other and maybe fix it!

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face, , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin, , type [grin] or :o
For a wink, , type [wink]
For a shocked face, , type [shock]
For an angry face, , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face, , type [blush]
For a sad face, , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face, , type [envy]
For a sceptical face, , type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
