Elsa Did you get his reg? You can report him to the local bobbies so they can go round and have a word in his ear. There is no excuse for road rage. His being old is not an excuse either. I hate people like that, does my nut in. Still not showing much I'm afraid.
Right I have a question for everyone who has had children before the current ones we currently have cooking.
How overwhelmed were you when you had your first child and how many weeks after the birth did it last. Also based on what you can remember would you or would you not have been up to going and staying with relatives at the other end of the country to where you are in the first coupls of weeks?
The reason I ask is that my in laws live quite far away from where we are and one of the possibilities is for us to go and stay with them for a few days in the first few weeks after LO is born. Now DH is well up for it, but I'm a little unsure that it would be the greatest of ideas. I can just imagine feeling quite overwhelmed just coping with a newborn, trying to get breastfeeding established and not to mention the lack of sleep. Then on top of that to then drag ourselves all that way and face the ensuing hordes of visitors that the visit will enivitably bring might just push things a bit too far for me.
Personally I think a better idea would be for inlaws or just MIL could come up, sleep at a friends house (our place is way too small) and come and sort of veg at our house during the day.
I know my IL's pretty well and I have a good relationship with them so I know that even if I went down, I could laze around and they wouldn't bat an eyelid. I would feel in myself that I had to make an effort to be presentable.
Long winded I know, so could you advise please?
