[NattyThomasandEllen]

Hey guys new thread!
(i stole the title )

I have no valid point to add to ANY discussion.

Will have to spend the evening talking to DH as he won't even notice!

no, spend the evening talking to us!

DP coming home early, might send him straight back out for chinese!

Am having a crappy shitty day - been below average mother, have just shouted at DS2, and he's fallen asleep before I could say sorry

am having BHs like mad, feel crap, if I were fullterm I'd be thinking 'here we go'. I think I will cry and then go to bed.

After Wife Swap

Mine does his fair old share of burping farting and snoring Ria......

......and don't put yourself down so much me ducks...your opinions are just as valid as anyone elses on here....and you are very funny at times....in a good funny ha ha way, not funny peculiar

Foxy....have things not calmed down then? A day of rest for you tomorrow I think.

I've lost it at DS today as well , and although we all got things back on a even keel he was marched up to bed with a flea in his ear for being really cheeky. Parent baiting seems to be his favourite new game.

yeah Ria stay here
Daisy one of my so called friends pointed out to me the other day that i am legally old enough to be a grannie - i'm thirtyfuckingtwo!!!!!!! what a scary thought
Whats up Foxy? share your crappiness and we'll help

Thanks, just these farking niggling pains all day. Just taking its toll now as a day of discomfort can. Had a bath, having 3 day old reheated cottage pie and bouncing on my ball.

Wife Swaps a corker thought!

evening guys it has taken me ages to catch up!

im eating jelly again..

my iron levels must be really bad again, cos im have mini asthma attacks randomly through out the day, and i cant catch my breath now... jelly helping

bloody pregnancy..

Lol Derlor...but I am old enough to be a granny...

My mum had me at 36 and as she waddled down the corridor of the maternity hospital, she met an old schoolfriend who was in visiting her daughter and new grandchild....she said it made her feel very small indeed!!

dont know if i'll be on here long, as my breathing is really bad, i am panting almost.
sorry to hear u are feeling crappy foxy, but at least u can breathe...

DH and I have just spent the last hour arguing. Same old thing, I'm stressing about not having the babies room ready on time, DH wants to do it when he's ready but promises that it will be done before LO is born, and I don't believe him because it just seems like a so much to do.

Turned into an argument about how I try and control him too much and want to be dominant and everything has to be done to my time scale. Which to be fair is partly true, and my problem is I can't ever admit that I am in the wrong, and especially at the moment usually just end up crying which then makes him feel bad. I'm such a bad wife DH has been nothing but fab this whole pg and I just get more and more demanding. Mixed with frustration that I can't do a lot of the house stuff myself because I am too pg, too tired and in too much pain. I hope to god that having a baby relaxes me a bit and makes me into a better person!

Natty get down on all fours to take the pressure off your lungs - don't lie down whatever you do x

Natty...I think you should get yourself to the doctors (after you've paid you house deposit obviously!!).....if you suffer from asthma it can worsen during PG....or you may have a chest infection or something....

yes cos people have babies to be more relaxed

do you have a reliever inhaler Natty?

i dont suffer from asthma, but hubby does and when i described the feeling he said its just like an asthma attack. according to docs its just cos i dont have enough iron in my blood to carry around all the oxygen i need.. or something like that. so leads to passing out and feeling really breatheless.

bumper.....I feel like the worst wife and mother in the world at the moment, so you're not alone. We can sit over coffee and cake on Friday arguing over who's the worst wife .

And maybe we should introduce our DHs so they can share notes too and realise that its not just their wife that's a bit flaky and its just the hormones.....

Keep your chin up!!

Bumper ((((((hugs))))))) why don't you go for a nice relaxing bath and light some candles. try to stay calm - getting upset is not doing you any good - take some time out then make up with him later x

Would you believe our toilet seat has just fallen apart! (with an almighty crash and DH has slept through it.)

I know this is the wrong thread but I am intrigued (sp?) by the obesity/class thing. I would have said Stephen Fry is currently a tad on the porky side (but I still love him) - is he then working class?

It is raining. How much do I need chocolate and shop-related treats?

you off to B&Q tomorrow then Ria?
Steven Fry - umm yup not exactly sporty is he?????? so is that thread suggesting that if you are upper class you are healthy and if you are middle/lower class you are not?

I am the best wife in the world , mostly. (well, apparently I do understand him, which seems to be quite important in the world of man-pleasing. And the other night he was proudly telling my best friend about the ONCE ONLY time I stood up to his ex. And I do put up with the Gordon Ramseyness on a tiny fraction of Gordon Ramseys tip money and I don't complain about it too much - yeah right.)

But I am the worst mother in the world ever. And I feel bad about it. (and I don't really want to admit it on here in case we have evil lurkers!) ATM I just cannot find common ground with DS1 at all. He is just a walking lump of self-opinionated, rude attitude. He is nasty to DS2 and doesn't do anything I ask him to. He says he is very excited about the baby (which is a big relief as we expected him to be very unhappy). But he just isn't the boy he was brought up to be. His BF has "issues" atm, and he is picking up on them and seem,s to be copying. He also gets frustrated and has anger management group at school which is making him worse as the kids he is in it with are the ones that are always in trouble - he just gets taken along for the ride. (That sounded very prejudiced but I know what I mean). He is very cheeky too. But he is streets behind his peers in these matters (he is a bit wet compared to his age group actually).

Did anyone say this was an easy job?

right i need to rest, and concentrate on getting breathing back to normal.
speak tomorrow, will let u know about house!

love to all

N&T&E
xxxx

I know that sounds ridiculous Natty, what I mean is that I am kinda hoping that when I've got a baby I will just realise that things will happen when they happen and get used to it a bit more. Plus I am hoping that I will be all gooey over my precious child that I will not be so bothered by the mundanities of life IYSWIM. I know it sounds like a complete contradiction, but TBH I can't get worse than I am, my mental faculties just wouldn't take it!

Good luck NT&E - for goodness sake don't sleep in! Hope you feel better soon.

No need to go to B&Q (would wait til Wednesday anyway and get my Dad to go with his pensioners card!). We have a spare toilet seat in the garage (now fancy that) just needs finding and fitting. We seem to get through them in quick succession (that will be cos I'm working class and overweight). It's a very funny thread derlor - were you sensible enough to steer clear? I don't usually read through them but it's fascinating. Maybe that's the sort of thing posh folk talk about at their dinner parties but I don't think I've ever had a RL conversation like that.

Ria, you are not the worst mother in the world! Sorry you are having a hard time with DS1, how old is he? Can help at all I'm afraid as obviously new to this parenting malarky. Don't know what to suggest but have you tried asking for advice on the parenting threads, even if it 's just to reassure you that you aren't a bad mother and not the only one having problems like this.
