To want ds to GO TO SLEEP so dh and I can have a bash at making another baby?

[YunoWhatYouDidLastSummer]

Dh works away and it is VERY RARE for him to (a) be at home, and (b) be at home when I am fertile.

Ds is ALWAYS asleep now. We've had an exhausting morning, tired him out, put him down to sleep with the intention of... y'know.

But noooooooo.

"Lets be awake Mummy!"

So dh is cleaning his bike and I am Mumsnetting and ds is racing around singing Bob the Builder. Do you think he knows?

"Ha! Another sibling? Not for me thanks! I'll scupper your plans "

Won't he sit watching cbeebies for an hour?
Does he have an afternoon nap?
Is he too old to stick in a travel cot with some toys
I'd just get on with it - give him a box of cereal in the kitchen and let him entertain himself!

Gonna say the same - afternoon nap?
Sure you don't need an hour

Unfortunately my dh is Amish (I assume) and can only possibly perform if the children are in a deep sleep behind a closed (and preferable alarmed) door.

Ds is going to stay awake until dd gets home from school, I know it.

Tell me about it. It is bloody impossible here! DD is destined to be an only . She definitely knows and is too old for any of the suggestions. She'd come and find us through any number of closed doors.

Tell you what Rockbat - you take my ds to the park for the next 40 minutes, and I'll return the favour and keep your dd occupied when you need me to [gein].

And Contraceptive Boy went to sleep within minutes of husband leaving to collect daughter from school.

School on Sunday?

Hope you get a shag soon .

Oh dear...tonight?...next month...? Good luck

School on a Sunday: we're not in UK.

And yes tonight then.

I really did have more enthusiasm earlier.

Early bed for both of them? Can DH take them out for a Nice Tiring Run? Wake up CB?

OP if yours is contraceptive boy mines, contraceptive girl,she tires dh out so much that at the end of the day they are both asleep, to tired to make dc2.

You're not in the UK? Ah bum, so the contraceptive minding service isn't really going to take off!

Any MNetters in the South London/Surrey area want to mind my little contraceptive girl for seven seconds an hour? [hgrin]

Rockbat I'm in SW London/ Surrey area - I'll have her for a bit. It's good to keep a community spirit in your local area start finding victims now to whom I will be able to offload my PFB when she's born and at some point would like to get my leg over.

FFS he struck again!

His Sibling Sense must have been tingling, because he barged into our bedroom at midnight declaring that he needed a poo! It rather spoiled the moment.

15 minutes of sitting in the bathroom asking "is it coming?", and being assured that "it's just coming in a minute Mummy".

Eventually I said he could have milkies if he got back in to his bed ("in YOUR bed Mummy?" "No son, in your OWN bed. PLEASE")

By the time I'd bf'd him back to sleep dh was snoring and I left him as he has a 4am start on Mondays. Now he's away for 5 days.
