Can I just say Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

[memoo]

....... and breath!

8 month old DD has been up since half 5 and hasn't stopped doing this awful winey cry that she has going on at the moment. She is teething so she has a good excuse but God my nerves are in tatters.

Do you think the neighbours will think I'm odd if I go down to the bottom of the garden and scream very loudly!!!!

So sorry for you, I have many of those mornings and they are the worst.
Can you take DD out and about, maybe to a noisy place so you can't hear it??!!
Presume she has had calpol and teething gel?

No, I'm sure they will have felt the same at some point themselves.

No go for it.

Or, as I have done, scream into a pillow.

DS2 aged 3 has been screaming since 5am, just being an arsehole quite frankly, so I feel your pain.

As least your baby has a decent reason!
