Have started a new fred for amusing kids and what they say here! Thought Lemony could add a few of hers and anyone else who has ever come in contact with a child probably has a few.

BICCIE I really hope RTd doesnt show up, we need more :) :) and good news on here.

I'm still POAS still no OV for me yet.

We had bad news yesterday, I've been battling with audiologist about my 3yo who I'm convinced cant hear. They finally agreed, but said its permanant hearing loss and needs hearing aids! Far worse than we thought.:(
Took me 2 ruddy years going back and forth for them to find out. grrr. But at least it will be sorted now.

Loujalou · 11/08/2010 10:55

Youngy that is sad news. I am deaf in one ear and manage without hearing aids. It is crap but I get by. Have lost hearing in the other ear which doesn't help. Been this way since I was a kid.

Biccie still got all my fingers and toes crossed for you.

Oh Oldie sorry about your bad news, but as you say at least you have found out now - finally - and can get something done about it, and well in time for starting school! I sing in a choir with a bloke who has a lovely tenor voice and wears 2 aids. Doesn't stop him at all, although we did have to wait once in a rehearsal while he changed his batteries!

Fairygodmother1 · 11/08/2010 21:01

oldie thats bad news but at least you found out before starting school! I've taught a boy who is deaf & it's amazing what he can do! He has a barha (can't remember if thats the correct spelling) & lip reads. fantastic popular boy who nis doing very well at school!

Bic fingers crossed

NOTHEROLDIE · 11/08/2010 21:13

Thanks girls :)

Icedlemonmuffin · 11/08/2010 21:53

Oldie my brother has hearing loss due to glue ear and should wear hearing aids ( but doesn't) .

When someone tells you there is something wrong with your child it is so hard. Just before starting reception dd had her eyes tested and in her right eye she couldn't even read the biggest letter on the chart. I felt so bad that I'd never noticed anything wrong just thought she was clumsy. I felt really guilty that I'd done something wrong.

Totally crap it took two years for them to listen to you though.

Fairygodmother1 · 12/08/2010 08:07

It's terrible really - my mum battled for years to get dr to recognise my bro had a milk allergy. Finally they listened but that took a couple of years & now it's now that a percentage of baby deaths are due to this allergy. But it didn't stop there cos through my sister's pregnancy with my niece she didn't have any ms unless she had anything milk based. When my niece was born she projectile vomited at every feed, she lost 2lb within days & my sister kept telling dr & midwife & HV that it was a milk allergy/intollerance. Took weeks to get her on soya milk & she ended up on solids at 6 weeks as she was losing so much weight. My sister kept being told she was trying to be a 'trendy' mother!
Luckily my brother grew out of his allergy & my niece is a very healthy almost 6 years old. Very clever & tall for her age!
I do understand (and met some) that some parents lie to dr etc to get things but there are some honest people out there too!

Loujalou · 13/08/2010 08:17

I think I might kill TH as he is annoying. Its a small thing but he's made me really pissed off not sure I want to see him today.

Sorry - just needed to get that off my chest.

Icedlemonmuffin · 13/08/2010 08:42

Don't worry Lou totally normal, dh drives me mad at the minute just by breathing! He did helpfully point out he can't help but breath but it still gets on my nerves. Not sure how we have been together nearly 14 years.

Loujalou · 13/08/2010 09:20

We had an argument as I went out of my way to make him sandwiches and he told me he ate them. I found them in his car uneaten. It sounds silly but even a little white lie gets on my nerves and makes my blood boil.

I had made him sandwiches this morning before realising what he had done. Just really pissed me off.

OP posts:
NOTHEROLDIE · 13/08/2010 09:24

My DH was soooooo insensitive yesterday I can't believe what he said.....

To a friend of ours (who has been trying for a baby for years , and have had several MCs) he blurted out 'Got your MRS up the muppet yet?'

Friend- 'no we have got a dog now'

DH- (laughing)' you're not going to be one of these people who thinks their dog is their child are you?' haha

Yes so bleeding funny. I was really mad at him. He KNows how hard it is to concieve esp when over 40 (which she is). We have experienced the MC misery, as they have SEVERAL times, and by choice I think yes they would rather have a baby than a dog, BUT IT HASN'T HAPPENED. You bloody goon. I said he had to ring up and apologise.

Loujalou · 13/08/2010 09:32

OMG that is awful Youngy!!! I would have thrown my toys out the pram.

Biccie do you have access to the internet? If so any news? The pit has lots of comfy cushions if you need it.

OP posts:
Icedlemonmuffin · 13/08/2010 13:06

It amazes me how insensitive men are and how many White lies fall out of their mouths.

My dh lied one too many times about eating his sandwiches so I don't make them any more if he wants them he makes them himself.

When I was chucking my guts up last night dh helpfully told me that the ms will stop soon and it will all be over in jan! I was really grateful for his help.

Any news Biccie?

On the plus side only three weeks of summer hols left and dh is off for two of them.

Loujalou · 13/08/2010 13:38

Not just me then lemony! Why not say the truth. Won't make me more likely to make sandwiches for him but makes me less likely to wanr to whack him one.

Bicciebicciebiccie where are you? Miss you so much I used your name three times!!! How is Mister Ginger Nut?

OP posts:
Icedlemonmuffin · 13/08/2010 13:47

My dh said he forgot about them but I found them in the car right next to an empty magnum wrapper! Bloody men.

Loujalou · 13/08/2010 13:51

Same here less the magnum wrapper. Not heard from him since I threw my wedding rings at him (to be fair this is a regular occurrence - due to my Mediterranean roots!)

OP posts:
UmBongo · 13/08/2010 19:27

Sorry to hear that the manshapes are being dense. Mine isn't doing too badly, just occasionally asks what the matter when he finds me in tears! But then I never make sandwiches!

Lou shame no magnum wrapper, you could have found somewhere warm to keep the stick somewhere about your h's anatomy! (how many times have you married him to throw your wedding ring s at him?)

NOTHEROLDIE · 13/08/2010 20:40

Well seems our D'others' are annoying us all a little. Won't help us make babies tho will it? Hmm

I forgot to POAS today, poop, but have pant snot which is a positive sign. :)

Fairygodmother1 · 13/08/2010 22:32

Bicnod · 14/08/2010 13:42

Hello loveliest of lovely ladies, typing on very crap phone and will catch up proper when back tomorrow but just to say ERTD got me so i'm officially in the pit. Will regroup and start planning this month's tactics once i've hauled myself out with the aid of a large glass of red and a bar of dairy milk. Big snogs to you all x x

Loujalou · 14/08/2010 14:25

Grabs Biccie and gives her a huge snog and bottle of sambuca. Will be joining you too soon my dear. Not that I had any hope in the first place.
