Cupcake92 · 25/04/2016 07:15

Ds1 is fine ow thanks ducky :)

How ds doing with his tonsillitis?

Can't believe it's Monday again already!! I really need to speak to work about me coming back. Sad

duckyisback · 25/04/2016 10:54

He's all better now Smile

I have no idea how to handle this so figured you lot could help Grin ds goes to a play group, there's one kid there who is vile. The first time we went, he came up, pushed ds off a toy and took it. He then kicked ds in the face. Then he went up to a little girl and started slapping her round the face. No one says anything to him.
Every week he does something horrible to at least a few kids and no one says anything. This week he pushed ds over, he hit a little girl and then he hit a little boy over the head.
I figured out who his mom is but she's part of the big group of women who always go together and are friends with the organisers. There's only a couple of people who aren't in their 'group' who go.

What do I do? Do I say something to the kid if I see him doing anything? Do I speak to his mom? Who is very big and angry looking and sees him doing this but does nothing. Or do I speak to the organiser who is friends with the mom and will most likely take her side and then I'll most likely feel the wrath of their group.

It feels like being back in high school! I really wouldn't bother going but ds loves it there.

Cupcake92 · 25/04/2016 11:56

If it was me ducky (and this is me being me I'm not very nice sometimes! Grin ) id go up to his mother and tell her to sort her child out as he's being a little shit to other children. Then I'd say if u don't discipline him then I will.
But to be on the safe side talk to the organiser and say how he's hitting other children and if she could possible say something to his mother. And tell the organiser to write it in an accident book when he hurts someone or u will get ofsted involved

OP posts:
duckyisback · 25/04/2016 13:59

Ha will speak to her next week then and see how it goes. I dread him turning up! But his mom just doesn't care she just watched on chatting she is a big scary monster tbf

LuluJakey1 · 25/04/2016 19:11

I hate things like that Ducky. I would speak to the organiser and let her deal with it.
I hate cliquey groups of mums as well. That is why I like DS's nursery because there are never groups there with everyone just dropping off and collecting. I think some of them go out for a pizza together at the local Italien but I am not bothered about being part of that.

DS has a bump and a bruise on his forehead. He fell and hit his head on the coffee table. He sobbed Sad It took ages to calm him down. He keeps pointing to it and going 'ooooh'. DH has kissed it better a dozen times since he came in.

LuluJakey1 · 25/04/2016 20:15

I am so tired tonight. I am going to bed in a minute. I feel like I could just sink into a deep sleep - down to the bone tiredness.

duckyisback · 26/04/2016 07:44

All the groups round here are like that lulu, it's awful. Really like being back at school.

Speaking of which, I drove past the school I would like ds to go to (I know it's a long long way off yet) and was shocked by the moms there! They were all really dressed up! Big heels, massive hair, loads of make up. Just to pick up their kids Hmm think I might stand out a bit there.

Hope your ds is feeling better now lulu, my ds had a nasty bump the other day Sad he seems to get them very regularly, he's not perfected running yet.

LuluJakey1 · 26/04/2016 21:39

DH is watching 'One Born Every Minute' and getting all soft about babies and TTC. I am off to bed to get some sleep. The last thing I feel like at the minute is another baby. DS has been a terror today and I am exhausted.

Cupcake92 · 27/04/2016 14:25

Aw poor ds lulu!
Hope his head is better now :)

Oh gosh ducky! The school I want ds to go to is nothing like that most of the moms seem to wear exercise gear or big wind coats etc Grin
Ds goes to school next year!!! ShockShock
And poor ur ds too! Children are very clumsy Grin ds1's head is rather big so he always bumps it Grin

I went to the doctors yesterday because I've been constantly bleeding, I've got to have a blood test on Thursday and have some swabs taken and also have my cervix checked to see if there's damaged Confused no idea how there could be damaged tho?
Ds2 also finally has his doctors appt tomorrow about his eye! Can not wait! He deserves to finally be rid of a horrible gunky and red eye!

OP posts:
LuluJakey1 · 27/04/2016 21:05

He is fine Cupcake. He has spent the last two days empying things- emptied the dvds from the TV cabinet twice (about 60 of them) emptied a file of DH's marking all over and all out of order, emptied the cat food from the kitchen cupboard, managed to get hold of a loo roll and unroll it down the stairs. He is fascinated by it all. He emptied his little toy box and put it all back in this afternoon. Smile

I bet the bleeding is hormonal. I had an awful period when mine started again. It lasted about 3 weeks and was really heavy - scarily heavy. Then I had one that was almost nothing. All hormonal apparently.

duckyisback · 28/04/2016 07:19

Good luck today cupcake for you and ds! I've never heard of a damaged cervix Shock have you had any pain?

Haha hope you managed to clear up after ds lulu! Has he become any more interested in the cats? My ds is obsessed with cats Shock

I'm a bit worried now. I know I have all my referrals in place and my dating scan etc, but I will be 10 weeks on Monday and I haven't had my booking in appt done or anything Hmm feel like I've been a bit forgotten about!

Cupcake92 · 29/04/2016 16:47

That's good ds puts his toys back lulu! :D
And yes ur probably right it's most likely hormonal.

Ducky don't worry im sure they haven't forgot about u!
I've never heard of damaged cervix either ! I'm not in pain at all.

Ds2 had his appt with the doctor for his eye. Because his tear duct is blocked and it's always gunky and infected. He's been referred to the children's hospital and might have to have a probe put down his tear duct to clear it out. He's had swabs and eye drops until we get the apt. But he would be put to sleep to have the probe done :( :( :( that terrifies me so much!

LuluJakey1 · 29/04/2016 17:09

Well he doesn't actually put them away as in tidying up, just takes them out and puts them back straightaway- part of the game, seems fascinated by it. It is just a box of little things.The game is, pick it up, hold it, put it back, pick it up, wave it around, put it back or pick it up, put a bit of it in your mouth and put it back. It is very exciting, obviously. Smile

I am lying on the bed. He has gone for a walk with DH.

DS2 will be fine with an anaesthetic Cupcake.It would be a very very light one.He would just be out minutes. Try not to worry.

When do you go to the DRs about you?

duckyisback · 29/04/2016 18:54

Sounds scary cupcake but he will be in good hands. Poor little guy.

Sounds like a thrilling game lulu!

Are either of you on the pill? I need contraceptives after I have this baby Hmm but it scares me so much what has been in the news recently.

LuluJakey1 · 30/04/2016 12:25

I take Cerazette Ducky with being over 35. Haven't had any problems. You have to remember to take it at the same time each day though and not miss a day. I just take it with my cup of tea in the morning. I take thyroxine as well so it is just automatic every morning.

Hope everyone has a nice day. We are off for a walk.

duckyisback · 30/04/2016 15:44

That's the one I have been looking at lulu, does that stop af all together?

Weather is miserable here so we're stuck in!

LuluJakey1 · 30/04/2016 19:10

Ducky, mine are lighter but I still have them. I think you can have none or some people have heavier ones. I have had no problems with it.

Cupcake92 · 30/04/2016 19:18

Ducky I had cerezette! I conceived ds1 whilst on it!!!!!! Grin Grin Grin
I do not trust it one bit. I had to have it tho because I'm at risk of blood clots. It's a mini pill.
Why not have an implant? That stops af.
Or there's a new one called the contraceptive patch with a lot of people really like.
(Working at a doctors u hear lots of info Grin )

Cupcake92 · 30/04/2016 19:21

Oh and ducky what's been In the news?

And lulu I go to the doctors on Tuesday for me :)

OP posts:
duckyisback · 30/04/2016 19:28

I hope mine stop if I take it Grin

Will look into the patch cupcake! Haven't heard of that. The implant worries me, don't know if it's true or not but one of h's friends girlfriends had it, apparently she fell from quite a height and hit her arm on a rock. This broke the implant and poisened her and she was very ill. Might just be heresay but I really panic about these things.

It's been in the news loads about girls dying from taking the combined pill Shock really scary stuff.

Cupcake92 · 30/04/2016 20:52

The patch has had some very good feedback from women. It stays on for 7 days then you change it for a new one. U can swim, take baths etc with it on and it will not come
Off :) saves having to remember taking a pill everyday.
Plus u can stick it where ever u want lol I'd put mine on my belly as id never show my belly off Grin

I've heard of implants snapping but not poisoning someone? Just heard if it snaps to have it replaced as it won't work anymore.

And oh that's not good about people dying from it!! Wink didn't know that!!
