One just fell off and bumped his head. I just phoned my GP and he said to stop them jumping on the bed but they won't stop!

err...you remove them from the bed? Or from the bedroom if necessary?? Repeatedly until they understand you mean it?
Do you really need someone to tell you how to do this??

monkeymaman · 23/11/2009 20:25

Oh great. Now one of the others has fallen off and bumped his head too!

Off I go to phone NHS Direct....

YANBU. You need the doctor with his bag and his hat, who knocks on the door with a rat - a - tat tat. He is good at getting dc to bed, he drugs them with his special Pill, but it is so worth the bill!

keep a close eye on the one that bumped his head, sure he'll be ok though. Just ignore their behaviour, they are obviously doing it for attention.

bit harsh elliott sometimes it can be stressful being a parent and we ask questions when we are panicked in a situation.

Is this really an appropriate use of NHS resources?!

You should keep your children under control!

The medical services are under a lot of pressure at the moment! I heard of a GP in Gloucestershire that was recently caught in the floods and he stepped in a puddle and it was waist deep!

With these kids of circumstances occurring across the country right now, you really shouldn't be bothering the medical professionals!

For shame!

'No more monkeys jumping on the bed'

monkeymaman · 23/11/2009 20:32

Why are you all being so horrible to me? I just asked a question. MN is full of horrible biatches.

You are the parent, you say NO they obey. Easy. Otherwise you will be on here in 14 years time asking how you can post bail for your juvenile scumbag delinquent.

All the time moaning that your darling, is much misunderstood.

monkeymaman · 23/11/2009 20:35

Oh ffs - now the other one has fallen off too!

Do you think I should phone the dr again?

paisley
Are there 5 monkeys on the bed?
Because if so, you should phone the dr after every single one until there are "no more monkeys jumping on the bed"

Try waggling your finger at them when you say "no more monkeys jumping on the bed"
Otherwise the GP will tell you to put them straight to bed.

StarExpat · 23/11/2009 20:39

Even if she is serious, She is obviously following the popular rhyme. I'm so amused! Because my 13 month old loves this song.

monkeymaman · 23/11/2009 20:39

No, there are 3.

How do you mean, finger waggling?

The dr will come with his bag and his hat.....

uberalice · 23/11/2009 20:41

ROFL.
Have you been hanging your green bottles precariously on the wall again?

monkeymaman · 23/11/2009 20:42

Do you think he/shell will halfcut?

I don't think our surgery do home visits anymore....

re the head injury: I've heard vinegar and brown paper works well

See if you can get hold of Miss Polly's doctor - he seemed much more willing with a sense of urgency...

monkeymaman · 23/11/2009 20:53

WHAT ARE YOU ALL TALKING ABOUT?!

Stop being so silly, I've been lurking on MN for ages, it seemed like a really nice place, and then tonight I really needed help and you're all taking the piss.

The dr won't come out, he just told me to stop them jumping on the bed! What the f do we pay our taxes for, I ask you!

It all went to crap when the NHS startedthis out of hours crap.
If you catch your GP during the day its fine. He will just sit them down and tell them to damn well stop it. He rarely even seemed to mind that they are actually primates.
But call in the evening when the Friend of Miss Molly is unwell and they rat a tat tat on the door, all dressed up and accessorised with a huge air of self importance. And the speed with which they whip out the bill is unbelievable.

And fucking Doctor Foster never seems to get here when its raining
