Quiet today on here. My DS just after I got him out of the bath tonight, walked in the lounge, squatted and wee'd and poo'd on my carpet, I swear he deliberatly did it the b*gger! Then I asked DD to stay away from it whilst I put a nappy on DS and grabbed equipment to clear it up, she jumps on sofa, singing and mcuking about and kicks a cushion right into it...

(guess what I did next?)

Anyone got a stiff drink for me?

Sending one your way...DS pooed on our dining room floor yesterday. Why, why, why? Ten feet away from the toilet. Sigh...

OK this is strange -- is it in the air or something? DS pooed on the living room floor yesterday?! A huge room with hardwood floors yet he selected the only area rug? First time he's ever done something like that...another sigh here....

Question for the Bench:

Does any of you ever feel guilty because you just want DCs to leave you alone? I had the worst cramps imaginable the other day and I just wanted to lie there with a heating pad and instead it was all, "Mommy? Mommy? Mama? Trains? You want to play trains? You can be Char-wee and I'll be Thomas. Ok? Mom? Can I watch Backyardigans? Will you get me wemonade? Mama? Can we go outside? Mama? Will you read me Llama Llama Red Pajama? Can I watch Kipper? Can I have car cwackers? Mama? Does your tummy hurt? Mommy? I peed in my underwear."

This conversation is but 5 minutes of our day. Sigh...

I confess Cheerful I haven't been that gracious at times to either of mine when I needed some space But then the guilt was horrendous after.

Yes please love an Archer's!

You don't want to know what I did next really as I was rather cross at the cushion being covered in poo

Ahhh well DS poo'd in the bath instead tonight, so I had to scrape it out of the bath instead.

DS is 17 months, he'll get there in the end. DD has had a few accidents lately too in the potty training dept.

Me too please Tiredmum!

Cheerful I confess that I have felt like that when I have a migraine. It is hard, DS and I have still never really been separated so there is no reprieve even when I am in horrible pain. I have never been able to bring myself to express that "mummy needs a minute right now" out loud - I am plagued by guilt even thinking it . Have always blamed the years of TTC/surgeries/horrible pregnancy/traumatic birth and ultimately our gratefulness for his being in the world at all; I know that at some point he needs to learn that others (ie. mummy) have needs too and I shouldn't be a "martyr" type thing....but the guilt at even thinking that I just need 10 minutes to be in pain is unbelievable! I have now developed a little box containing odds and ends that he doesn't get access to at any other time an when I am really bad I pull out the box...tis my only solution so far.

Sorry to hear about the cramps, they can be brutal.
