Please give your baby's favourite foods so we can get some ideas from each other.

Sucks. I actually have no RL friends. Noone I can call n say let's hang out. My FH is being an arse. Maybe that's why I hate him going to the pub? Because he has someone to go with.

ChasingDaisy · 25/05/2013 17:33

I know that feeling GT. I hate when P goes to play football. Mainly because I'm jealous that I have no social life Sad

Dixiebell · 25/05/2013 18:14

BPLP, I'll let you know how the room change goes. I used to feed ds1 in there anyway, even when his cot was in with us, out if consideration for DH. Level of consideration has obviously dropped in inverse proportion to years married and number of children. Grin

Currently BFing a mushy pea-covered baby. It's all over him. Now all over me too! Bath time soon.

ChasingDaisy · 25/05/2013 18:42

Thank you bry and VQ for your advice. It is very wise but I am finding it difficult not to just lose it at the moment. It is no exaggeration to say that him and his family make me utterly miserable. Tonight I am going to email Women's Aid.

BigPigLittlePig · 25/05/2013 18:51

Chasing well done - fb me if you need a hand to hold. You're being very brave.

Dixie having put up with dhs snoring, he has to put up with me feeding F in bed!

Feeling stupidly excited, on the subject of social life. Someone I worked with an age ago has invited me out for birthday drinks tomorrow night. Eeep! Normal clothes! No need for nork access! Double eep. Maybe even heels!

ChasingDaisy · 25/05/2013 18:59

Agh an actual social life pig Grin And thank you. I felt very proud of F sitting up in that pic Grin

Tomorrow O is going to my Dad's house so he can play in their garden and eat look at their flowers.

ChasingDaisy · 25/05/2013 19:00

I am going with him obvs. Me, leave O with actual other people? Shock Never gonna happen Wink

PurplePidjin · 25/05/2013 19:04

Good luck, Chasing and BP Chasing, women's aid are quire in demand so don't give up if they can't get straight back to you Thanks

BigPigLittlePig · 25/05/2013 19:40

F fed and fell asleep at 6.50 tonight. WTAF!? This is unheard of. Am currently stuffing my fizzog with popcorn and watching Brave whilst ignoring the piggies around me eating chocolate

I have the S-Max Sophia and wouldn't be able to get six people plus the Quinny into it easily. If you need seven seats plus boot space a Galaxy is best. With five seats in use we have loads of boot space but the C-Max is slightly smaller than the S-Max. If you want to have a poke around the S-Max give me a shout next time you're over and I'll pop down.

PR the FB group is closed so no one outside the group can see what you post unless DH21 gives them access. If you're worried you could post on there then delete it after a few days once any discussion is over.

Please don't say anything to your P Chasing. Prepare yourself and leave. The best thing for you will be for him to go out to work and come back to you and O gone with no forwarding address. Please speak to Woman's Aid if you're thinking about leaving, especially with his history.

I'm majorly pissed off with my DH today as he 'forgot' to give J his medicines. I tore strips off him, saying J has those medicines for a reason, not just to inconvenience you. Honestly if I forgot to give DS1 his Ritalin I would be in big trouble with DH not to mention the school. So J hasn't had any Gaviscon today. I'm going to have a even worse than normal rough night tonight aren't I?

I had to leave J for 10 hours today for my tutorial in Dublin. There was some pressure to feed him when I got back! Thought I was going to explode for the last half hour of the drive back.

Wow I missed a lot of posts. Not that I expected anything less from the quiche!

Jersey was nice although hard work, realised (again) how lucky I am that DH is so hands-on as although my mum wanted to help she doesn't know our routines so I ended up doing it all myself. Massive respect for those of you for whom that is the norm.

One good thing was that DS slept better than usual, I think the blackout curtains made a real difference as after feeding at 6am he went back to sleep till 7.15 - unheard of!

Tonight we have put him in his own room for the first time. Feels strange! Fingers xed for a good night.

Will try and catch up on all the posts but hope everyone's well. Special wishes to Chasing as I can see from the last few posts you are at breaking point.

Bryzoan · 25/05/2013 20:18

Brilliant chasing. Great first step, proud of you. Silly question - but just to check... He hasn't got access to you're email presumably?

Vq - that does not sound like a brilliant deal.

Enjoy your night out bp :-)

Gt and chasing - have you joined many baby grps? I have made nearly all my friends where we live now through the kids... Babysensory is a particularly good one as there is time to chat bang in the middle if the session. Feeling lonely is horrid. I bet loads of people would love to be friends with you both in rl given half a chance...

ChasingDaisy · 25/05/2013 20:35

bry nope he hasn't got access to my email.

So, I ignored the wise advice and decided to tell him how sad I am feeling about the situation with his family and how I would appreciate him being in my corner a bit more. Apparently I am

ChasingDaisy · 25/05/2013 20:38

Bollocks, posted too soon...

Apparently I am childish, up my own arse and he is really pissed off with it all. He shouldn't have to stick up for me apparently and I should just not let it get to me.

GTbaby · 25/05/2013 20:46

Hiya bry. Yes thought about baby groups. Met a few lovely ladies on a massage class. But then went to India and came bk got sick n now SPD. I would have to drive as they live 20min away. So I'm stuck until I get better.
The local library has a story time thing. N is within walking distance. So may try that in a few weeks when I can walk further.

BigPigLittlePig · 25/05/2013 20:49

Chasing hopefully that response spurs you on to take some decisive action (as if you needed more reason!)

F has learnt today that, when she is in her doorway bouncer, if she uses her legs at the same time, she bounces, as opposed to the gentle side-to-side sway she had previously perfected. Her face is a combination of Shock and Grin. I tried to take a photo but her legs are just blurs in them all!

kirrinIsland · 25/05/2013 20:56

Work has been great thanks bryzoan but is not leaving me much time for anything else - hence the lack of posting!

chasing sorry it's all so shit. I think his response to that has proved that he'll never support you and that keeping quiet til you've actually left is the best way forward. ((hugs))

glad you had a good hols mrsJJ I'd love to go to Jersey.

Sounds tough GT - hope you can get out and about a bit more soon.

I'm off to Harry Potter studio thingy tomorrow - can't wait :)

Hope you've all had a good day and have an even better night!

ChasingDaisy · 25/05/2013 20:56

Well done F Smile

I have just emailed women's aid, through my tears. I just can't go on like this anymore. He really doesn't care about me does he? And when he started getting annoyed at me, I got scared.

ChasingDaisy · 25/05/2013 20:57

kirrin Harry Potter studio tour is ACE! I'm a proper Potter geek and completely loved it.

Evilwater · 25/05/2013 20:58

I need to vent Angry N has been wonderful. It's just P. Angry I know he's tired but still what a arse.

I told him I'm going to see Star Trek with my parents, and that my sister will look after him. He got angry at this, then I asked him if he wanted to do anything with N tomorrow, nah was the answer. WTF Angry

Also it's Father's Day soon, so my mum and I think it would be great to get my dad a new phone. The thing it's we can't afford a new I phone, we were thinking of a second hand I phone 3. He's not happy about this too, Angry Appently we treat him like "shit" by not getting him a up to date phone. The thing is he only uses his mobile for calls, not even texts!

BTW my mum has a broken neck, resulting from a assault at her work in the 80s. She can only do so much, hence she has a bit of weight, so you can imagine the names. He's also comparing me to his mum. Grr....Angry

Screw it, I'm taking N for his frist swimming. P is missing so much. If I win the lottery then I might leave him.

ChasingDaisy · 25/05/2013 20:59

I want to leave. But then I keep seeing pictures of O and remembering how much he loves his dad and how much I just wish we could be a family. Fuck fuck fuck fuck.

BigPigLittlePig · 25/05/2013 21:01

chasing - we all luffs you xx

Evilwater · 25/05/2013 21:02

Chasing go. Do you really want O to think that is how a dad behaves? And does the same?

Evilwater · 25/05/2013 21:02

Massive hugs, chasing
