Yes that's it!!! Ive been trying to find a way of explaining to my pals and that's just it. They have instilled there mentality, and way of thinking into him. V stubborn. Im quite stubborn to a certain extent but also think im good at apologising. Im that person who when someone bumps into me apologises!!!

Ds dads family got my back up at chrimbo. They bought ds a toy from a charity shop and their granddaughter a trip to eurodisney. I wouldnt have cared if they'd got the same, but ds will always be 2nd to the other grandchild. Ds dad thinks this is utter rubbish \nd that im being a cow. maybe i am but it p*ssed me off at the time.

he is in bed and i dont want to sleep in the same room let alone bed as him. Am stressed bout exams but have to offload whilst you guys are awake otherwise will be sitting up suffering from insomnia yet again. Actually, one of my amtes from uni is a full blown insomiac so I can always ring her and she can keep me company xxx god i wish i was in brighton at least there was someone always up when i was at uni!

a toy from a charity shop!blimey cyan, i think i would have had words about that at the time, if at all possible.

you must have been really upset and angy, its annoying me thinking about it. didnt SD say anything at all?

It is good to off load, i do it all day!! I guess the way to see it is that your ds has you as a mother and that is fab, put the rest of the shit aside and try not to get bogged dowwn by it. IME it will only be to your detrement and carrying around resentment will do you no favours. Its a kind of sopd you situation, but when you recognise that they cannot get to you it really does help.

did you say that with regards to the xmas pressie? well tell a lie he got an outfit from asdas too. but she got that and more too. She is one of the most spoilt children I have ever met, and it really grates on me.

tigeryuan · 13/02/2006 23:10

cyan -- i'm really sorry for your situation.
pls try not to compare to other. i know its hard.

you have to sit back & think hard what you really wnat to see in the future. think of a picture that you really want to see , then go to that direction.

i hope you will be better tomorrow.. at least you got some mums here would understand & like to talk to you.
take care, really have to go to bed now. nite nite!

cyan · 13/02/2006 23:11

Thanks lovelys yes i have to offload otherwise i blow my top completely!!!

7s, i cried as we drove home on xmas day because I was so upset. I felt pathetic, but when I told SD that I was so annoyed by it all he just said that she was born first, and that ds gets spoilt all the time anyway. Which is utter crap.

7777777 · 13/02/2006 23:12

yea meant xmas pressie. is it SD brothers daughter then ?does it really not click with him that his own son is missing out on BIG treats and only getting little ones. im sorry cyan, but hes either very weak or like you said he thinks thats normal for his family to spoil one child over another.

cant imagine how much that pisses you off, its winding me up coz ds is a gorgeous little boy. i dont like your mother in law!

Morning all I cant remember who said they have friends with bubbas my age modelling but would be interested to find out who they are with. B&B said no, MOT have similar baby at the mo but to reapply and UA asked us to the interview but didnt accept us. Was wondering have heard some people mention KL? Are they any good? Do I have to post pictures? Mine are all on computer??

hope everyone who has things today go well ( I forget who has what! LOL )

misdee · 14/02/2006 08:19

KL you have to post real pics to them.

dd3 is 12months almost,so similsr age but is v mobile. who have youapplied to?

stil lwaiting to hear from bruce and brown, and one other, cant remember which. if today doesnt go well with IK then will confirm with CK.

tinkerbellchelle · 14/02/2006 08:32

We are with BK at the moment. Ages ago we were accepted by rascals but wanted over £200.
We are meeting with IK,NC and EB. MOT & UA have saud reapply in future and B&B said no.

good luck at IK today xx

tigeryuan · 14/02/2006 09:07

Happy Valentines Day to both mums & babies!!
Good luck to your interview!

yackertyyack · 14/02/2006 09:17

Morning tink,
We are with KL and you do have to send in pics - they don't do email apps - but they are very quick at getting back to you, we had a reply within 2 days. They have an excellent reputation and the jobs we have had have been without castings. I know they get work from Debenhams, Mothercare, Junior, Monsoon, M&S, BHS, Adams etc so quite a list of clients.
So give them a try - they do keep there numbers down thought.

yackertyyack · 14/02/2006 09:20

Morning Izzy >>> Feeling fine- hope you are too....Very interested in being able to pay for an IK photoshoot, will give them a call and ask them about it. Hope your little lady is feeling better for her shoot tomorrow. Medised is good for teething!!

sh11 · 14/02/2006 09:56

izzy - shame the photoshoot didn't happen as planned better luck next time, where did you see the cost £40 on site i cant find it idont have twin boys I have identical twin girls of 8, IK were v. interested in them but I haven't thought about modelling for them as they're very academic! and DH is not that keen for them to sidetrack. as well as music lessons, swimming, extra tuition,art classes etc ...i dont think their school would be happy. anyway izzy did they mention work they had done etc

cyan · 14/02/2006 11:23

hi yackerty, i too would like to have the photoshoot for ds. if it's £40 then dont think that's bad at all. hope all the pregnant mummies are putting their feet up!!!

thanks again x

cyan · 14/02/2006 12:43

Havent heard about that casting, feel a pain contacting them to ask, what should I say if I ring/email?

perfumelady · 14/02/2006 12:47

tink if you go onto www.snapfish.co.uk you can unload your digital photos choose your size and they charge just pence per print, i had mine delivered within a few days and they were fab quaility.

alliep30 · 14/02/2006 12:50

I'd just be honest Cyan Here';s what i'd say

"Hello it's allie, berts mum. Just a quick call to see if there's any news on bert's casting. I'm so impatient, it's driving me mad"

or something like that
