Welcome Martians!

Lyra You have just pissed on my parade. My one bit of pleasure was learning how to spell a really difficult word this weekend.

I'm never going to be able to learn that new spelling

Kara, I'm leaking piss at your choice of words

Hottie, diarrhoea is a cock-ache to spell. It's almost as bad as gonorrhoea. Shall we agree to use 'squits' and 'the clap' instead?

Wow Pram, no wonder you're not keen on him. He's hard work.
His mum and dad are trying to make up for giving him such a shitty start in life but going about it all the wrong way IMO. No child benefits from having no discipline in their lives. They will just grow up to be spoiled, entitled adults. They are doing him a huge disservice.
The co-sleeping I can just about understand if he's had a very unstable start in life but that's going to be a hard habit to break at his age.
No eight-year-old should be staying up till 1am except on VERY special occasions such as New Year. And the eating thing - I'm not surprised it makes you angry. Getting chocolate as a reward for rejecting the healthy food someone has taken time to prepare for him
The nappy thing is really bizarre and needs to be sorted out ASAP. I'm surprised the boy's GP and school haven't made a bigger issue of it. He will just become a target for ridicule among his peers if he's wearing a nappy to school.
Poor child. And poor you. What a tough situation.

Hotcross, sorry

Children with Autism can find it a lot more difficult to become toilet trained than other children. Couple that with his mothers issues and i'm not surprised he hasn't got the hang of it yet. Your DH and Olivers mum should be sitting down and working out a plan to get him out nappys.

Poor thing

thanks lyra!

also no chickens! dogs and cats, but they live at my mums. i am obsessed with my dog/cat and dp is begging me for animals but i think we should get through the baby first. also my mums house is like a zoo as anyone who is on my fb can see so its not like we're short of animals!

hot on imodium i think it makes your uterus contract or something, do not take it!

lumpylumps welcome to the dark side

Thanks greymoose

Kara what did you say???

also bloody hell pram - do you know what though, i do actually think this baby could be the best thing for all of you and your relationships - i think it could potentially teach him responsibility thus making him grow up a bit and also help him feel more included and welcome, i cant imagine his home life is perfect with the current scenario at his ma's and i think it could make you see the relationship with him in a completely fresh light once you have your own baba for all sorts of reasons, I'm actually quite excited for you! sorry if I'm being a bit airy fairy optimist haha!

I think she used a word many on man find offensive. Begins with an r and ends in d.

Erm.......I'm struggling!

I think it was the horrible and offensive phrase she used.

Fucking hell karam, are you always so insensitive?

To tell the truth I don't know what use are on about.. I am eating fruit strudel. Yum. And sorry if that last comment seemed harsh just my honest opinion and I don't wish to offend anyone.

Oliver has not been statemented as autistic but his school bend over backwards to accommodate his bad behaviour in the classroom (kicking his classmates and, occasionally, pushing teachers). I have taught in classrooms with autistic children and Oliver displays none of the characteristics of autism other than an obsession with Dr Who and shitting his pants (he manages not to shit all day at school but shits for his mum and dad frequently). I won't bore you but I do find it incredibly hard to love him when he is so obstreperous and demanding: If I concoct a treasure hunt he is not satisfied (the treasure was crap); when I make his tea he refuses to eat it (the peas are not green enough ).

I won't talk about it anymore but I do appreciate you listening and giving me your opinions and sharing your own stuff x

Kara, it's disablist language which many find offensive and I'm sorry if I've encouraged you. It was generally your outrageousness I was laughing at but I'm sorry if I've been a bad influence.

What you said wasn't nice, Kara.

Wow Kara

grey Oh really? Jeez. I'm glad you've told me that. I was planning on just risking it and taking one.

Welcome Cassiopeia.

kara it's perfectly normal to worry about being a good mum and the baby being healthy, everybody does. The fact you are worrying about being a good mum probably means you will make sure you are!

prambo bit tbh regarding your attitude towards your stepson. Whether he has a room in your house is secondary to your seeming to not care about him having a relationship with his father. Your partner's gambling isn't the sons fault. Sorry that's a bit harsh, but you can't just act like he doesn't exist.

Hotcross, I reckon something like kaolin and morphine might be ok? It's what I gave my boys when they had diarrhoea.

hot currently researching to see if I'm talking rubbish or not! i know i didnt take it because i read something scary although could've been something else i didnt take cause of uterus contractions specifically, checking now!

Lyra Are you just posting that to show me you know how to spell it?

I'm hoping it's going to stop of its own accord. It surely can't go on for much longer!

Hottie keep drinking! I think someone's already mentioned rice but it's a good place to start if you're struggling to keep food in.

Pram You didn't influence Kara to post disabilist shite. She did that all of her own accord.
