Everything is just shite. Long PMT rant - sorry.

I have PMT so everything is bothering me much more than it should so just need to have a rant to get it all off my chest - got myself all worked up on the way to work and now I'm here I feel like bursting into tears!

DS (8 months) is ill - again! There hasn't been a day since he was born that he hasn't had some kind of ailment - excema, colds, coughs, eye infections, rashes, now think he has hayfever! Every time I feel as though we're in some kind of routine and starting to enjoy it he gets ill again and we're back to waking up four times a night again, not feeding, crying all the time, etc. I know its not his fault but today its just all got to me.

People keep telling me how 'he looks like he enjoys his food' because he is quite fat - but I feed him a really healthy balanced diet and he doesn't eat excessively - he just doesn't move much. No idea when or if he's ever going to move - he just sits there and if he can't reach something he just cries and gives up (know how he feels!)

Now DP has tonsilitis and a cold so he was also up half the night with the loudest coughing and sneezing in the world. I know thats not his fault either but just can't seem to muster up any sympathy because I'm just tired and fed up.

My mum has got DS beacuse nursery won't have him with eye infection. She has a bad back so it hurts her to pick him up - feel guilty for relying on her so much but can't keep taking time off work.

Have two projects at work to finish by tomorrow and can't get motivated - I'm the only one in the office today, the others are off on a jolly so nobody to talk to (although I would probably only moan at them anyway!)

Really feel as though I need a holiday - haven't been anywhere for about three years because DP won't take time off work - now feel as though it won't be a holiday if DS is there anyway but at least it would be a change. DP has agreed to dog sit for his parents later in the year which he thinks will be a holiday but in reality he'll just take his work with him and I'll be stuck in a house in the middle of absolutely bloody nowhere with DS where you can't even go out for a walk without having to fight your way through cow shit. What really pisses me off is they won't put their dog in a kennel so we have to put our cat in a cattery to go and look after their dog!

Grrrr. Arse.

Sorry you feel crap..your little boy will move when he wants to..don't worry about that, then you'll lon for the days where he was in one spot for more than 30 seconds!!

If you don't want to be stuck at your inlaws whilst DP works then just don't go...let him go alone!!!

Thanks - sometimes I can just sit back and accept everything is probably fine but on days like toady I'm just thinking the worst about everything and am convinced there is something wrong with DS and he won't ever crawl or walk.

Definitely thinking about sending DP to ILs on his own - he won't be pleased though!

the average age to crawl is 9 months apparently. my edlest two dd's never crawled..they both walked at 12 month, just after their first bdays. they are not twins either!

if dp promised without asking you, and he's going to work whilst there then why does he have a leg to stand on if you decide not to go?
