To mollycoddle PLB (Aged 249 months)

[ManchesterMum63]

As I was spraying Lavender Sleep Mist on my PLB's pillows earlier, having just prepared his 3rd "feast" of the day (even though the fridge is ALWAYS empty) I realised that I may be mollycoddling him I know i am to another level as he's the last one at home... On-demand sweaty foot rubs anyone? But he's only 249 months old and will fly the nest soon whilst i cling to his ankles

Whereas DH is told to 'help himself' in the kitchen / maybe try reflexology next year if his feet are aching

And I know I didn't always have the time/forethought/patience to always do the same for all the other 4 DC's... Who've all survived/flourished rather well...

What over the top crazy wouldn't tell the other siblings lovely things do you do to spoil your almost 6' little ones - my list is quite long come to think of it

At what age do you stop putting the cereal in the bowl for them? Asking for a friend....

Youngest DC is currently occupying my bed while I cling to outer edge in a vain attempt not to roll out. She's not sleeping, more dozing with regular wake ups where she'll give me a slap to check I'm not sleeping and am instead gazing at her with the adoration she deserves. She's 20mo. I didn't stand for any of this shit from my other three and she knows it.

DS got a new job and I bought him several presents to celebrate. They included beer. That probably makes me a bad parent in many, many cultures.

I still carry my little baby last born (8 years old) to the breakfast table from bed. Can hardly lift her, but I'm not giving this up without a fight. Her big sister has had to walk everywhere since she was 2yo.

EwletsaHooman - roughly same age as mine then

As for the rest of you - soft you are I tell you SOFT!!

Just thought of another - when i remember, I still get his pj's/undies and socks in a neat pile for him for after his shower where he's using 'premium' products of course

arethereanyleftatall - well to be fair she's only 96 months?? Think they recommend carrying them until at least 105 months

Phew. Bless her little heart, it's too far to walk when she's just woken up.

I don't ever batch cook my pfb (only a mere 226 months bless his cotton socks) lasagnes to freeze so he doesn't starve when living away from the nest. YABVU.

I may have sleep misted PLB's (142 months) pillow with sleep mist tonight. What of it?

Ahhh this thread has made me feel all warm and fuzzy

Are you looking forward to reading the ‘My MIL spoiled my DP/DH and now he is a lazy, entitled, useless git’ threads.....

FadedRed - never thought bout that one - creating slackers... PLB will just drop on the couch/remove trainers releasing all manner of fragrance and expect DP to rub his sweaty feet lovingly

This is slightly creepy, something to do with the lack of boundaries, I think. It explains a lot about my first husband and his inability to wipe his own arse though.

My lo is only 207 months and I still make her morning drinky for her. They’re only little for such a short time aren’t they?

LaLoba I suspect you have missed the light-hearted nature of this thread completely 🙄

Haha 130 month ds here. I carry him about. A lot. He's only a few inches shorter than me.. The words rod for own back spring to mind.. My brothers are both approaching 40 and still live rent free at home. I keep telling myself I'll toughen him up. Soon....

My little prince gets silver service at PIL’s - I wasn’t aware how far it has gone:

Separate bowls for food if he wants it
Milk with dinner
Stories read whilst he eats
Head stroked to sleep
They dress him
Give him chocolate fingers on request

I think it’s lovely.

Soot That's right, they're not babies for long are they.

I dread the day that my 222months old PLB doesn't want me to put a hot water bottle in his bed every night.

I'm considering keeping my PFB as an only so he will be PFB and PLB in one little adored 24/7 package. I'm going to be the MIL from HELL

I definitely didn't spend my day of this week, wrapping Lego for my PFB who is 312 months... I also never went to the chemist for her because she has a cough 😀

I don’t have a last-born, but I’m the youngest of seven, and there’s a pretty big gap between me and the other six.

When my husband and I go to my family home for Christmas, my mother will have my specially brushed cotton Christmas bedding on my our bed.
She’ll also buy a particular dessert for Christmas Day that nobody else likes, but I love, so we always have it.

I’m clearly her favourite.

My mothers PLB is 480 months. This summer she made sure he didn't get sunburn by applying sun cream to his face! Not even a hard to reach part. I'm the middle child. I had to apply my own

My baby is a mere 211 months yet I expect her to wash dishes and vacuum, I'm a horrible mum.

Just wondering when MN will be treated to the tales of woe from the wives/partners of the precious sons of mothers who do everything for them asking for advice because their DHs expect them to do everything for them like their mothers did.

Remember watching, with my jaw dropping lower by the minute, while my perfectly able, fairly successful 50 something exBIL sat waiting at the dinner table while his mother removed the bones from his fish, because that's what she liked to do.

Mine you, he never did leave home.

Are you looking forward to reading the ‘My MIL spoiled my DP/DH and now he is a lazy, entitled, useless git’ threads.....

Quite!

My friend is like this with her PLB. I'll be honest, from an outsider's view, it's a bit, shall we say, emetic.

This thread 😂😂
