support thread for people who find it hard as LPs...

[simpson]

just wondering if this has been done before...

I have 2 Dcs (2 & 5) and am bringing them up by myself (H allowed to have phone contact only due to his fuck wittery {I love that phrase })

Sometimes its soooo hard doing it by myself

DS had parents evening today and although his comments from teachers were fab most all of the other parents were couples.

Sometimes it hits me that I have to do everything myself

sorry to hear about your grandad scorps

My grandmother is 92 (was her birthday on sunday - massive family party, as its possibly her last )

She has been & and out of hosp over the last few months, its not nice

My other grandparents were 96 & 98; Grandad says he has had enough, seen enough, etc. Trying to get a babysitter because my sister is going to the hospital tomorrow and i want to go.

Hope you can get one

its hard when they say they hav had enough, my grnadmother has said it a few times

Got someone coming round to quote me on gettng new back door tomorow, hope he is pleasing on th eye

cant remember if it was on this thread, s/o mentioned a date thingy (bertie something maybe?)
I tried and I am chatting to a cool gueezer
so easily pleased me
may seem nothing to you but he is the first male above age I speak in a long time (apart from my butcher)

oops not, dont think this is the right thread

Fill us in, I am intreged(sp)??

I'm intrigued too, esp cause I 'm not an internet vergin and been there done that oh so many, many years ago, when it was more than a closet thing (by chance will add) so age of innocence long gone... Still... there are some decent looking and articulated blokes if their profile is anything to go by
Spoke to a few but only think about checking this one out

Scorps, I doubt you'll get a chance to come on here today, but i hope you got a babysitter, and we are thinking of you x

I think as one gets to that age you know ..
I thought a lot about my granny last night,she had an amazing life - the stories she told..she dated one of the kings of Egypt-i kid you not..

Anyway..How are we all? Hello simpson

I had a really nice day today.
Feeling positive,had a lovely long natter with DS1 last night, and DS2 got 89% in his maths test!! I'm so proud of him, especially considering he's Dyspraxic and has a terrible memory.

JFTO Come back and tell us which dating website it is

Hi all, thankyou for nice sentiments :) Well i saw Grandad today, he looked little but was awake and even made a joke. he had a breathing mask and an oxygen bag on, and machines measuring heart rate etc. He had a heart scan today, results later. He was hungry too which was a good sign. Mum & Dad on way back to UK as we speak.

Hi Scorps, Oooo That sounds positive, i'm glad
Take him in lots of yummy food to feed him up!

Scorps - sounds positive

Nothing exciting to report here except the quote for new door is much £££££

No suprise there

Going to wait for my friend and her husband (he is a builder) to get back from their hols next week and ask him to pop in & quote me....

Why so much simpson? If there's nothing wrong with the frame or door, surely they just need to reposition the hinges and rehang?

Do you think they overpriced because they sussed you didn't have a bloke of the house?

I don't think so tbh.

Frame is cracked at the top (which happened in my struggle to close it on fri )

Even if they have quoted me more because I am on my own, they have shot themselves in the foot as I won't be using them

Builder friend (the one on holiday) said ages ago that the frame is the wrong size (small or big I forget ) and they (the council, mine is ex council house) have tried to cut costs and use it anyway

Its like the two double doors don't line up iyswim for the lock to catch and door has sunk so big gap at the top (about 2cms - although builder friend filled it with silicone 6mths ago)

Oh well, it seems ok for the minute but could go again at anytime, just hope it lasts till my friend back from hols

Ooo -You cracked the frame simpson, that's one helluva 'yank' you must have

hehehe

I did not even realise I had done it till today

a bit of advice needed, don't have the guts to start an AIBU

DD goes to a playgroup on mon & thurs morning for 2hrs. She has done a wee a few times on loo there (nowhere else )

Neighbours DD started there last wk and she is staying for a few sessions to settle her child and she said DD actually asked to do a wee a couple of times and managed it

Planning on potty/toilet training on fri anyway (no school run - teacher training) DD still wears a pull up.

Soooo basically AIBU for sending DD into playgroup tom in knickers and hoping for the best??

Staff can call me if she makes too much mess (her poos are truley horrid)as I am only round the corner...

Hiya simps..

It's been a while since i had to potty train! but if your DD has managed to ask to go, and you're only around the corner if any accidents happen,and she is happy with the idea...

YANBU, IMO

Just worried staff might get pissed off

Oh well, am going to give it a go!!! Am having a now, I fel tomorrow will be a tough day

Well they must be well used to it,working in a nursery. Toilet training is a risky business ..

I have been bored shitless today, i need to get my 'mojo' back.I need a kick up the arse!

kicks jellykat up bum

Am going to give tomorrow a go.

Will give them 2 carrier bags (one to put wet clothes in & the other to put under her bum when sitting on their nice cushions)

Ta simpson

Yeah,give it a go..
Take M&S/posh carriers, not yer Lidl bags.. That should swing it!

PMSL at posh bags

simspon - How did she get on??

one wee in loo at playgroup (3 on the floor although in fairness apparently she said she needed a wee on one of the times but did not leave herself enough time)

4 wees on floor at home and half a poo in potty (other half in knickers

Am in the just thinking about doing it all again tomorrow.....

Also playgroup worker said to DD to wait till she had that "funny feeling in her tummy" and that means she neds a wee....

DD said "no that funny feeling means I need chocolate"
