going to be a 'bad' mummy later.........

[QueenOfQuotes]

have to take DS1 to his induction afternoon (2nd one - hoping he doesn't throw up like he did last week LOL) at his new school.........thing is DS2 has his sleep at 1pm-3pm - and the induction afternoon starts at 1.30

So I'm going to put DS2 down for his sleep as usual, at 1.30 on the dot grab the monitor, lock the front door and whizz round to the school to drop DS1 off - then whizz back again

This has all got a bit heated hasn't it???

Anyway, QOQ, hope your DS1 enjoys his afternoon at school!

assumedname... i said the same thing earlier!

and was jumped on! lol

"do yuo know... i have never noticed you posting contentious issues or starting arguments! "

That's because you're looking at the wrong 'username' - only been using this one for a few days......used to be someone else (just as annoying and irritating

Blimey lunachic

That was a bit below the belt.

"It's because they don't know who you are, methinks."

Possibly - or possibly not.........

thankyou Lizzy - he's definitely looking forward to it - demanding I take him NOW as he can hear all the kids playing outside - can't believe in a few months time I'll be sat listening out for his voice over the other side of the wall - where did my baby go

why not think qofs is being nasty to some people on here me, charliepeters prob others too im not usually nasty but sometimes ......
by the way stepping outside your front door and leaving your kids behind IS NEGLIGENCE
the difference is if you are in the garden they can come and get you/you can hear them if they scream loud enough/if others come to get you they know where you are/you can nip back inside
i rest my case

I'm gobsmacked . What on earth is going to happen to QoQ between her front door and the school?

PMSL

Just realised what I said re Lunachic's scrote /below the belt comment

"Blimey lunachic

That was a bit below the belt."

Of course it's below the belt LGJ - where else will you find your bum

Missed that bit, starlover!

lunachic... the front door of the school is CLOSER than the end of her garden!
this isn't negligence at all.

ah well... great minds and all that eh AN?

"by the way stepping outside your front door and leaving your kids behind IS NEGLIGENCE

And stepping out my back door isn't?

"the difference is if you are in the garden they can come and get you"

I hope not - he can't climb out his cot (yet) and can't open his bedroom door either

"you can hear them if they scream loud enough/if others come to get you they know where you are/you can nip back inside"

I'll be able to hear him in the equivalent of the next door neighbours garden - especially as I'll have my monitor with me. And (as I've already said) end of my garden (only short) is further from his bedroom door than the school door is from his door.

"i rest my case"

I'm resting my case (actually I'm not as I didn't have a 'case' in the first place - the "bad" in quotes and the at the end showed (I though - but others obviously didn't) that I'd made my decision - and was merely posting about it,

QoQ lol @ this thread!

Come on girl..... you KNEW this was going to be a fiery one!

I admit that when I first read it I was quite shocked at the prospect, but since the school is closer than the end of your back garden then so what! I have been known to go post Christmas cards through my neighbours letter boxes whilst leaving my baby sleepin gin the house!!!!!!!!!!

How did gin sneak in there????

my baby sleep in gin

tee hee

Well, you've certainly fired up an otherwise dull period on MN!!!
Bless your DS, all raring to go! Have your tissues to hand for the "Big Day"!!!

I think there is an interesting point here...
I am always wary of eg even nipping next door to ask a neighbour a favour if I am alone in the house with the children asleep.
But yes, of course I go into the garden. I think the difference there may be as others say that you are within earshot and not distracted by anyone else.
Let?s face it, in a big house you might not hear yr children above the TV even if you were just downstairs.
Nobody?s suggesting we sit and watch our darlings all evening while they sleep lest they come to some harm.
And yes, tho I try not to do it, I do occasionally have to put petrol in the car with only the kids in (ie no DH); I have 3 and consider they are in less danger in full view in a locked car than wandering about over a garage forecourt, as it were.
Having said all that, I would be very unhappy doing what QoQ is planning to do; even nipping next door you could be waylaid, and it?s not as if she is alone, she will have one child in one place and one in another, and her loyalties could be divided.

I have got a bit behind with this thread but I am just bemused over the comment about what might happen if you left your child in the car while you paid for petrol.

"Carjacking, kidnapping, someone crashing into car, someone throwing something at car window and smahing it."

Firstly, I wonder how common it is for any of these things to happen (I know they do happen, but how common is it, compared say to being knocked down).

Secondly, couldn't almost any of these things equally happen when you are out of the car at the pump filling up?

"Come on girl..... you KNEW this was going to be a fiery one! "

• well ok perhaps I did - but still interesting to see the replies - and people getting their knickers in a knot (oops more 'below the belt' stuff there LGJ )

I was (and still am) a bit bored, was ultra orgniased this morning and had the house 'sorted' by 10am, sat down to play with the boys and they were (and still are) in a "we want to play together and not with mummy today" mode. So was thinking about the rest of my day and what I had planned (not a lot LOL) - oh well.....better get the little one down for a nap

" Have your tissues to hand for the "Big Day"!!!"

I'm dreading it come September - he's a Sept baby so been 'at home' for an 'extra' year basically - and he's SOOOO ready for it - but when I see all the kids in the mornings in their little school uniforms and think that it'll be him soon [tears in eyes]

Having said that I thought I'd be emotional when he started nursery - but he was so excited and 'ready to go' that I didn't really get a chance to be emotional...perhaps with DS2..............she thinks wistfully of her little boy who's even more flamboyant and outgoing than her first

I would do this too tbh - having weighed everything up. Chances of anything happening to a sleeping baby in a cot he can't climb out of in this short a time are negligible imo. Weighing up what is best for him is knowing he is safe and he is also having his much needed sleep against waking him up and disturbing his sleep (when you know he's safe anyway) and having a very grumpy little boy for the rest of the day. Personally (knowing my own ds2), I'd do the same thing as QoQ. She's taking the moniter with her so I really can't see the problem.
I leave ds2 in the car while I take the other two to the school gate. Getting him out of the car and facing a stressful battle for both of us to get him back in his carseat just isn't worth it for me. I can see him the whole way to the gate from the car park and he's happy to listen to his tape for the couple of minutes it takes to get them in the gate - probably about the same distance QoQ is talking about.
Personally I wouldn't have posted about it knowing the reaction I'd get though.

"Personally I wouldn't have posted about it knowing the reaction I'd get though."

But that's just me - you either love me or hate me (and I guess at the moment most you hate me )

I know that QoQ. Fwiw I love you!
