Yeah - hope made the right choice but didn't think would do anything for me at this stage. Maybe just being a shitebag tho'

riabutterflew · 08/06/2007 17:46

bastard bloody computer deleted my post. Probably just as well as I am v .

justbeme · 08/06/2007 17:55

Good luck pingu/Twinkle/Tallulah - I wonder who will be first!!

Ria you make me laugh - I always picture you like Ria off Butterflies- you'll have to add a photo/profile as Im sure thats not right!!

Was very brave and drove to St Albans - took 25mins and parked ok
And sorted everything on my list!! Got a nice grey dressing gown from BHS reduced from £15 to £8 - bargain!!

The suns gone in now, so have watered my veggies and found a pea pod that i'd missed and ate 5 lovely sweet fresh peas!!

lulumama · 08/06/2007 17:58

hope you are all having a side order of nipple stim to go with those smoothies

Sorry to drag the tone down but I need to let off steam.. DS1 is getting picked on at school and WE are the ones who have to go in for a bollocking because he lost it today and attacked his tormentors. I wouldn't mind but we have mentioned these problems before (he often gets into trouble when he is being picked on because he can't deal with it) and the bloody school aren't interested, down to saying a)"he gives as good as he gets" and b)"that boy wouldn't do that. i know him he would admit to it when asked." BOLLOX He is so bloody miserable and now we all will be all weekend. And why do schools think that you have nothing better to do on a Friday at 3.30 when you've already been waiting 15 minutes than go back into school for a half hour slating of your child?
Why bother bring them up properly?

justbeme · 08/06/2007 18:28

Ohhh the joys of motherhood... It makes you feel really shit though doesnt it Ria? How old is your DS1?

One mum once told the teacher about a text my daughter had sent her daughter one weekend - and this was a mum who had been in my house dropping her kid off etc - why she couldnt tell me, I'd never know.

hollyandalice · 08/06/2007 18:38

That's shit ria! Hope your ds is feeling ok. Can you request a meeting with the head?

riabutterflew · 08/06/2007 18:40

JBM, he's 10 but mixes better with younger kids (he's not as streetwise as his peers - I like to think he's been well brought up, but I suppose I might be wrong.) He's a bit of a wuss I suppose (ie, he hasn't been brought up to fight, swear, roam the streets on his own etc). It's lucky I was sat in the car (yes, the bloody woman came OUT of the school grounds to find us) or I would probably have hit her (where does he get his violent streak?!). Actually I cried. (which is what I did last time they dragged us in to have a go at him. They put him into "anger management" group after that. Hasn't done any bloody good has it!)

Sorry, still .
Off to force some tea down all of us as none of us feel like it.

riabutterflew · 08/06/2007 18:40

Holly, the head is a bitch addicted to hairspray!

justbeme · 08/06/2007 18:46

Ria - so sorry for you..... Obviously dont know exactly what went on so difficult to comment....

Ive found schools to be very inconsisent about things like this and if the parents are "In" with the school/Head they're kids arent treated so harshly.

hollyandalice · 08/06/2007 18:47

Oh dear! Is the deputy head more approachable? It sounds like your poor ds is being bullied quite badly and someone needs to know. I was bullied horribly at secondary school for 2 years and ended up being beaten to a pulp on the way home one day by a group of about 10 girls! After this happened everyone was aware of what was going on and it got sorted. Most of the girls were suspended and the bullying all but stopped. I wish I'd have told someone sooner and hopefully it wouldn't have ended up in me being kicked in the face and stomach repeatedly. Hope it gets sorted out soon! xx

blimey 114 messages today alone! no time to catch up now but let me just say I have the sweetest DH ever...he specially took baby S and DS out for a walk so I could get a proper "sleep" (that's what they call it, he assures me, and one day I can do it every night for a few hours at a time!)

Love to all the babies and congrats to Derlor who wins a big gold star for quickest labour ever and making us all very indeed.

Have to catch up later...x

annobal · 08/06/2007 18:51

Ria, that's awful - I hope that you can get something sorted out.

Holly how terrible for you!

Huge congratulations to Derlor! I wonder who will be next

DH reading to DSs who will hopefully be asleep soon. I'm so knackered in the last few days that I can barely walk down the stairs (let alone up them).

foxybrown · 08/06/2007 18:54

Shitty shite Ria! Your poor boy. Can you get a copy of the school's anti-bullying policy (presumably on their website or that of the local council) and then write them a shitty letter requesting a meeting with the head and asking them what they intend to do about it? Obviously stating that if a satisfactory resolution is not found you will bring the matter to the attention of the School Governors and Education Department.

But good for him for being brave enough to stand up to them. I know I probably shouldn't say it, but bullies need to be stood up to. I hope he is OK, and I hope you are too. I'd be fucking fuming.

foxybrown · 08/06/2007 19:25

Sorry, ranting again. Just pissed off for you Ria!

hollyandalice · 08/06/2007 19:29

Bullying is awful, rant away foxy!! I know what a misery it can make your life and I really feel for you and your ds ria. Really hope you can make the situation better for him.

Hi all, sorry to dump on you all earlier with my misery then disappear! Just catching up on the afternoon - caught sight of the posts about sh*tting on the the toilet seats and assumed you were talking about your children - not your DH's!

Ria, sorry to hear about your poor DS, what a miserable end to the week for you. Hope you all feel better soon.

Doggus! Glad you are back, hope you are doing ok, and not to stressed with everything. We've missed you. Defo must have post natal thread (if some of us even get there - maybe I just have an over enthusiastic worm...?)

Feeling a bit better after my incredibly vain tantrum earlier, just the whole thing is really hitting me at the moment. DH felt awful - it being him who kindly pointed out the stretchmarks (I can't even see them as belly in the way!).

Hope you all have lovely friday evenings.

daisyboo · 08/06/2007 19:44

Phew what a catch up...its no wonder we lost people from the thread...you go off to have a baby for three days and it takes hours to get back up to speed.

So....first thing is BIG BIG Congrats to BrownSuga Kittykit, RedFraggle and Derlor. Lovely names all of them (we june ladies have impeccable taste obviously)

Secondly....thanks for all the congrats guys...my milk-induced hormonal state has rendered me very tearful today so have been sobbing in front of the computer.

Thirdly...welcome back to some of the names from way back and a big big welcome back to Doggus . I hope you're doing OK and I'll e-mail you at some point when I get some spare time (whenever that is likely to be...who knows!)

Fourthly....I'm 67% slut apparently, which isn't bad considering my slutty period lasted for only about 6 mo of my life.

Thirdly...big labour vibes for everyone who is teetering on the brink of big things!

Lilkel....what's up with DD? why the constant feeding?

My bundle has taken it upon herself to feed like a mad thing today, and she's so tenacious at the boob....she practically growls at my nipple then attacks with much vigour...its quite sweet in a "OMG what'll she be like with teeth?" kind of way

She's sleeping well and feeding like a dream, although has been having a few problems latching on since my milk came in over the course of last night/this morning. I feel so much more relaxed about it than I did with DS which is probably half the battle.

I'm struggling with a bit of pain at the moment, as they had to take me off one of the painkillers as i got a bit of an allergic reaction....but have substitued some nurofen this evening and feel a bit more human. Stairs are a bit if a struggle though so will be staying in bed for a few days...DH trying to rig up the laptop upstairs so I can talk to you guys though!!

Phew...mammoth post I'm afraid, but my logging in will no doubt be more sporadic over the course of the next few weeks!

Right, can I enjoy a glass of wine and still BF????

annobal · 08/06/2007 19:53

Hi Daisy - love the new name! Sounds as though things are going really well for you and your new little bundle.

Would say a definite YES to BF and a glass of wine (not that you need me to tell you anyway ).

ENJOY IT!!

Twiga · 08/06/2007 19:53

Have had a very quick scan down. Great to see Daisy's birth announcement! Ria for your boy, just horrible.

Well, today I finally got to see the physio (at 37+5) and have come away with a lovely big belt and some crutches. I'm now moving slower than your average snail but am a lot less sore than I have been. Still only a sort while to go........Lovely dh out in kitchen cooking Pad Thai, getting in the spicey dishes where we can - am trying everything not to be a fortnight over due this time round, and hey it's an excuse for tastey food!

TALLULAHBELLE · 08/06/2007 19:55

Hi Daisy - good to hear things going well. You sound very happy & relaxed. Enjoy your time in bed.

daisyboo · 08/06/2007 19:59

I feel fine considering they have taken me off he ADs I was on and I can't start the new ones till next Wednesday! think i'm still high on hormones, although I did have a moment earlier over the car seat!

Off to have my wee glass of wine (it's low alcohol anyway), then a bath to rid myself of the smell of milk......bugger, that's going to be hanging around for a while isn't it?

will post some photos of my little princess when DH has downloaded them from the camera...

hollyandalice · 08/06/2007 19:59

Have a glass of wine daisy, I am!! So glad everything is going well for you and little emily! Hope you are getting some sleep and lots of r&r!!

I remember going out and getting bladdered and bfing with dd! ! Oops, prob shouldn't admit that on here!!
