FLYing on Tuesday

[DontDreamItBeIt]

Mission

ahhh the sweet sound of baby-snores. halleilujiah

One of mine is asleep too. SO I am going to have a quick S&S of the dinning room and then a cuddle with DS1 before we bake fairy cakes.

It is so sunny that when DS2 wakes I think an adventure is in order - cool

Just calling in to bookmark the thread.
Have been working yesterday and this morning and now need to play catch-up with laundry, bedmaking, hoovering etc so hope to get back later for a proper catch up!

BBL

Hi all,

well, I managed to have a shower and get dressed. And... get over to my Mum's to watch Damages on Sky+. Is anyone else watching it? It's really good.

Am back home now so will try and do 15 min bouts of things.

EHM Baby (poss DD?) due on 2nd March, just over 2 1/2 weeks. As far as I'm concerned though it can come any time it wants!

TMH your day is sounding idyllic!

Fairy cakes made and cooled, they are yummy and DS1 really enjoyed making them. I need to do more things like this with him the next couple of weeks as he will be at Nursery from 12.30 to 3.30 from 17 March - arggg

They are currently watching wonderpets and I am having a cappa then we are out for our walk in the sun. I am hoping for some inspiration for Dinner. They had mash Carrots and Braised Beef for lunch.

Failure as a mum alert

I took him for a haircut, bought him so little pressies and ended up in Tesco. He never listened to anything I had to say. I was tired, the whole thing became an ordeal so...I sent him to bed, just to have some space.

DH at football tonight so I'm on my own with Ed for the evening. I'll have a 'chat' with him then

Flywise I've caught up with everything that I didn't do as I've been gardening. Quite pleased with that tbh. I'm just a hopeless parent. I let him have the upper hand for too long and now he's not appreciating having the tables turned

Better make tea I think...sausage casserole or lasagne?

sorry you feel bad Grouchy. How old is your DS (Ed? or is that another acronym? Can't keep up!)?

Yeah, Ed is my 4.6 DS who is sound asleep in bed now.

I'm just feeling like I made the wrong choices about bringing him up and I'm having to bang my square peg into a round hole ATM. Thing is, I liked the square peg, hard work but you got used to that.

And I'm feeling very taken for granted too

This is PMS and it will pass (I'm sure)

Groucy Ed is just like DS1 he listens when he wants and is bad for bads sake some times. He has just poured juice over the sofa as his dinner was taking to long. SO if you are a bad mum what does that make me.

They can be a challenge sometimes.

Nowt wrong with a square peg - I think I am one. PMS is a killer as is an underappreicative DH

Yeah RR It hit him square on his side. I just wanted to show how angry and upset I was at his attitude without causing damage or breaking anything.

It just gets to me this being the only one who gets up with Ed etc etc, esp when there is someone else who is perfectly capable of doing the same

GO no advice from experience I'm afraid as my DS is only 2.4. I'm sure you're not a bad mum though - it sounds good that you're starting to be more authoritative with him now, even if you haven't always - our kids need us to be parents (rather than friends), and be consistent with things like discipline. Stick with it, and good luck!

ibble how exciting, or are you fed up & just want new dc here? I watching damages we sky+ it from the 2nd episode so I slightly confused
go I agree with ruby you sound like a wonderful parent sorry must go cats are fighting

Hi all.
Couldn't get online yesterday. Mickey decided to trash things while i was out! He pulled net curtain down (I expect he caught his claws in it while looking out the window). And it had been shredded! Also the rocking horse had fallen over and the curtain rail pulled down! AND he must of caught his foot in the phone wire and had pulled out the phone plug which had snapped so i couldn't connect phone and pc last night! New connector thing cost me £3.99 today .

At least its all back up and running now!
Just hope he is ok to be left tomorrow so i can take DD2 to toddlers!

I made sweet and sour chicken last night which DS's loved. DD's didn't like it! No surprise there! lol!

House isn't looking too bad!!

I better go take Mickey for his evening walk now!
Back later.

at end of tether, head splitting, ds still screaming, can't cope

dw has been on 3 times

BWB I am so sorry - Do you think it could be an ear infection and he needs to see a GP?

he's not tugging his ears it seems to mostly be his nose that is the problem. I really want to avoid taking him to the GP he has been poorly a lot since october and we have been to the docs a lot at least once or twice a month for ds and they are fed up of us they keep telling us that its normal for toddlers to be poorly all the time and we should go away and get a grip (they don;t say that but its what they mean) each time we go they are more dismissive and short tempered with us. I have a history of depression and I don't want them labelling me as a crackpot overprotective attention seeking lunatic. I do worry about him when he is poorly, I am quite a neglectful non fussy parent the rest of the time but when he is poorly I get stressed

BB Sorry that ds is poorly. Medised is good for runny noses(and makin them sleep!). hope he is feeling better soon.

TBH BWB if he is that upset I would bloody sod the doctors. I have a history of depression too.

DS2 went through a really bad patch with cold, after cold, after, cold. The GP just keep fobbing me off, he then was really unwell was evening so called the out of hours people and he ended up in the hospital on really strong Anti B's as he had a shadow on his lung, due to the inpacted infection. I was so pissed off I moved GP's.

He is your son and you know best. Tips for the nose though, salt water in a syringe to clear it, Medised as tort said and also raising the bed or giving him a pillow. Steam can also help we have a humidifyer for both boys now.

Feel free to worry about him to me, it is natural you are his mummy

TMH I strongly agree with BWB you know your child better than anyone else so what you think and feel has to be a priority.

I'm pretty lassez faire with Ed (honestley] I was chuffed when he got chicken pox, just think 'It's a virus, they can't/wont give anything etc and when he got hit by a car he just bounced! Then when he swallows a marble I feel lousy that I haven't taken him to the GP when asked (Like why? it's smooth, round and it will pass?)

If you are concerned about your child then you take him to the GP, or if you need a new pair of eyes, take him to the hospital walk in service.

And I have depression/anxiety too...10mg Citaloprim here

OOops, wrong way round there/ BWB I agree with TMH. and Dewsbury hospital have a walk in centre if you need a different Doc to have a quick check.

I second everything TMH just said. He is a baby, and if he is ill, he is ill and needs seeing.
If he's no better overnight, take him to the drs in the morning.
