ARGH!!! BLARRRRRGHHHHHHHHHH!

[Flamesparrow]

I've not been "here" for ages

Had a nice day with DD - friend round this morning, tidy(ish) house, let her do playdoh and sponge painting whilst DS slept.

MOT call has just come and it is a hell of a lot more than expected.

I'm angry with DH's dad for giving us a broken car.

I'm angry with myself for being a f*ckin ungrateful cow.

DS has woken from his sleep and is miserable and screaming child.

I'm sick of changing shtty nappies (his meds have given him evil poo and his sores are STILL there, so what's the fckin point).

DD went from sponge printing to paint smearing and the diningroom is covered.

I need to collect the car and I can't get there because I forgot to take the pushchair out, so can't get DC and the car seat to the garage, and I don't know if DH will be home in time to get there, so might not have it over the weekend.

Yelled at DD when she has really done sod all wrong.

She's in her room for her own sanity, but she is miserable at being shut up there.

I screamed at DS for trying to put his hands in said sh*tty nappy - he's not yet 1 ffs, its not his fault.

So basically ARGH and

Oh darling

No words, just a hug (((((((((((Flame))))))))))))

DH home - better get the car.

All this would be much better if DS would just bloody sleep through!

Might have tips for you - mine is getting better...
Are you on here later my love?

Nope - just on now to log off... DH has a meeting with a guild leader (don't ask!)

He got accepted in the guild.

I slept through... DS didn't Turns out I was so tired I slept through an hour of crying

How is the sleeping going? Have been doing some intensive patting and shushing with DS and it's partly working.
Obivously not completely because where would the fun be in that...
Do I even want to ask what kind of guild your DH is in??

HOw are you today? Not really around as i'm ill but been thinking of you. Not sure whether to clap or cringe for your DH

Aww hope you're ok MoM.

We went with leaving to scream but it didn't work too well. Even at the stage of trying disposables tonight. His bum isn't healed, his meds are finished... will be back to docs next week - I'm not convinced that the bum is the same as the mouth.

Yay for you having some success Scooter - I keep thinking we should try shush/pat, but I get really anxious doing it.

The guild is in World Of Warcraft - its one with lots of people who have children so they understand about bedtime/ill child crying etc... its nice to have tolerant people letting him leave!

Poor lamb. When DS has appalling nappy issue after antibiotics at 8 days, he had something called trimodiate or something from the docs.
The patting and shushing is rubbish for the first couple of nights (it got so bad that Dh said he would take over after 30 minutes!) but it worked after that.
Have a glass of wine, take a big breath and pick your night.
It really helped me that I had a friend who said once you'd started you had to carry on til it worked or it would all have been for nothing
Warcraft sounds interesting,. We have a wargames convention here in Germany in March - is that the same?
Come on over and bring the wee Flames to rainy Germany..... bet that's the most tempting offer you've ever had!!

Warcraft is all orcs n elves fighting

The invite to Germany does sound tempting though - You can shush pat him for me!

We've got a cellar....
DH can have flameboy and you can sleep down there!

We also have a garden shed....
Hell, you could even cuddle up on the trampoline in the garden with a sleeping bag. At least it would be quiet.
