Quicky post - message from Captain Dippy
"Phoebe just screaming and screaming tonight. Won't settle. NOt like her at all. Please post on thread as B using the computer for work tonight"

A later text said CD was hoping the screaming had stopped and little P was more settled.
Praying for you all CD, especially little P. Praying you have a peaceful night in chez Dippy.

Interview went well (I thought) but I don't think I got the job as I haven't heard today. My friend also went for the job (there are 3 posts) and she was phoned at 4.30 and offered one of the posts. I am very pleased for her but am disappointed for myself. Still, I have 6.5 months off yet so I must make the most of it . I still have 2 beautiful boys who have both just fallen asleep next to each other with me on my bed [sigh]. God really is good!

slapheadsrock · 03/10/2008 08:07

Last night was awful. He talked AT me for over an hour. Left for work today without talking to me.
Says this counseling is rubbish and he has been coerced into it.

Can't see how we will make it through next 24 hrs, let alone the weekend.

Notquitegrownup · 03/10/2008 08:14

Oh SHR - thinking of you and praying for you and your family today and this weekend. You are doing everything you can. Your dh will find counselling threatening. Even for those who go willingly, it is a challenging process.

You cannot make him want to go. You can just keep on going yourself and let him take responsibility for how he wants to live his life. He clearly has an awful lot of stuff bottled up, which needs to come out. It would be better if it didn't come out at you, however.

Look after yourself, and your dcs.

God bless.

SHR- echo all that NQGU said. praying for you and your DH xx

had screaming row with DS this am I am supposed to be the adult, he is only 8. Feel rubbish. Got to lead Bible study in an hour. . I am frustrated with him as he is not practising his clarinet - up to now it has come easy to him but he has now hit a difficult patch and just can't get the notes. I can play a bit, and have tried to help him but he digs his heels in and won't practice and gets upset. He put off practice for 45 mins this morning then played 4 notes and gave up. I exploded. Fortunately his Godfather walked him to school this am so he had some positive adult interaction!

Notquitegrownup · 03/10/2008 09:20

Praying Panda and ModeratelyM.

God bless all.

ZipadiSuzy · 03/10/2008 09:41

Slapheadsrock - Prayers for you and your dh as you are struggling, prayers communication can be resolved.

Panda - Aw prayers for you and your ds, can he practise in an evening as a compromise? (he may be more awake and able) prayers your bible study goes ok, and you gain some perspective in the issue with practising clarinet.

CD - Prayers for 'P' hope she is ok and you got some sleep last night

CC - Prayers for your job situation and yes indeed enjoy those 2 scrummy sons on yours

MM - Prayers you get a more peaceful day!

CaptainDippy · 03/10/2008 09:54

Morning guys Thank you for posting last night CC & thank you for your prayers all. I think (hope) it is just teething; and it seems it is not exclusively a "nighttime thing" either as she's doing it now too Prayers apprciated. Thank you.

CC - like I said last night, "God has plans to prosper & not to harm"

SHR - Sounds like your DH is in a very angry place right now. I am sorry he said those things to you about the counselling. Persevere. We are all here for you & praying for you. xx

Oh MM Really hoping things improve for you today - keep posting. xx

CD call a friend?
I remember dd screaming blue murder until I phoned a friend who came round, was not stressed and had her asleep in minutes.
Not saying u r stressed as such, but anxiety passing onto p maybe?

Friend might even make u a cup of tea too.....

CaptainDippy · 03/10/2008 11:13

No such friend, I'm afraid; just trying to breathe deeply & keep calm. I am shaking. This is silly

OP posts:
Swaliswan · 03/10/2008 11:13

CD I don't want to state the obvious, but how about some calpol? Or a cold flannel to chew on? Or, do you have some Nelson's teetha as the chamomile calms my DD down for more than just teething. Failing that, take her out for a walk. At least the screams wont sound as loud and she'll probably nod off. She must be tired after last night.

Praying for you all x

Swaliswan · 03/10/2008 11:15

CD call Crysis. Give me a sec to find the number.

Swaliswan · 03/10/2008 11:16

Cry-sis 08451 228 669

CaptainDippy · 03/10/2008 11:19

Yes, she has had Calprofen. Do you really think I should call Cry-sis!!? She's going to nursery this pm, she's going to be exhausted

OP posts:
Swaliswan · 03/10/2008 11:21

Yes, call cry-sis. They will help you to feel better and be someone in RL to talk to. If it is that distressing that talking to someone will help. I know it may seem a bit strange but they are there for a reason. You never know, they give you a better idea than we do on here.

DutchOma · 03/10/2008 11:22

Take her round the block in her pushchair first. Will do you good as well, the weather here is bracing, but nice. Blow the cobwebs away.

DutchOma · 03/10/2008 11:22

Waves to Swaliswan..

Swaliswan · 03/10/2008 11:23

A walk in a pushchair, some lunch and then nursery. Before you know it I'm sure that peace will be restored.

CaptainDippy · 03/10/2008 11:23

I just feel pathetic.
