pig thought so. What's your specialism!? The dr I work with texts me to ask when I'm going back!! Think he misses me!! Randomly, I've been on mat leave with one of his chemo nurses. She's moving!! I feel like telling him I am too!!

PurplePidjin · 20/06/2013 08:49

2 wake ups, 2 and 4 ish then up just before 6. Down at 8. I must try and do dinner earlier so he goes down at 7 Blush

Fucking Internet was down though Angry

ChasingDaisy · 20/06/2013 09:38

pig the only reason O woke at 5.30 was because I went in to check that he was still breathing.Grin I am waiting for DNA evidence to prove that we are indeed long lost twins! Crumpets sound ace. Duly added to my list.

BigPigLittlePig · 20/06/2013 10:00

Fuck.

DH just phoned from work. He is planning on walking out of his job today. No consultation with me, no forward planning.

Fuck.

ChasingDaisy · 20/06/2013 10:03

Fuck

Has he given any reason?

Kyzordz · 20/06/2013 10:10

Shit bplp any idea why?

MissMummy1 · 20/06/2013 10:13

Fuckity fuck bplp. Why?! I have hsd that phone call far too mmny fucking times a few times from DP when he is throwing a strop. Apart from quitting the SAME JOB 3 times he has never actually followed it through. Is he the sort to be sounding off?

Ironing. I remember ironing all of an xp's washing for him once. It took me bloody hours not one of my skills and the ungrateful bugger whinged his clothes were "too flat" !!! Needless to say I haven't ironed anything since. And I left him shortly afterwards not because of this ironing whinge, honest Hmm

Wahey to sleepy babies. M was up 4x. I did the first 2 as DP is back at work today then had a massive meltdown on the third wake up and got him to do it. Amazingly hr got up with her at 3am without much complaining Grin

Kyzordz · 20/06/2013 10:29

Thanks all for the advice about the bottles, I will keep going as we are for now and just at lunch ill give him lunch at about 11:30 and his bottle to wash it down with and just see how he goes, he is drinking well and eating well, I have found he eats much much better with finger food on his tray, he eats a nibble of that, a spoon of this and so on.

pass p will get there, e went through the same phase, only he had yoghurt too but other than that it was toast all the way!! She'll pick up again :) have you tried food before milk or is that no good for p? I know she's had a difficult time of it with food/milk full stop bless her

To cut a long story short because Eric is due to wake soon but basically my mums now xp is a selfish cunt who didn't get his own way and they have had a really shitty rocky relationship, not violent or anything but he's basically a waste of skin. Anyway whilst I was downstairs at my mums making up bottles for Eric whilst my sis baked with my other sisters fiancé and dp bathing Eric he decided that because he and my mum had argued he would try to hang himself. With a belt, on the back of a door!!!! He literally waited until we knocked on the door to drop himself although given his feet were still on the floor and neither the belt nor the door could hold his weight he really wasn't getting anywhere fast. After I'd left his daughter with my 11yo sister to go and kick the door in to rescue him he sat on the floor fully conscious after ten seconds and said he had done if for some sympathy and so my mum wouldn't split up with him.

Seriously? That is the short version but fucking hell. Anyway the kids are my mums priority and she is so furious that he has put her kids in this situation that she promptly kicked him out and is sorting out access for him to see his daughter. Anyone could've found him!! What if he had actually cocked up his sympathy suicide thing and one of the kids had found him??? Ffs.

I may sound heartless but I did call an ambulance and make sure he got checked out and everything. I just have no sympathy for him tbh and think my mum deserves much better!

Kyzordz · 20/06/2013 11:02

He is fine btw and is mostly at his mothers playing on his playstation and threatening to spend his nephews inheritance money on games, to piss his mother off

MadamGazelleIsMyMum · 20/06/2013 11:10

Fucking hell kyz that's horrific. What a twat. There are people who are mentally ill and then attention-seeking knobheads. Christ on a bike.

BPLP could it be a strop? DH works in a very hot-tempered environment (chef) and strops are more common from all staff. He's made the same outburst from time to time but once has calmed down doesnt do anything of the sort.

I don't iron. DH doesnt iron. We wear a lot of non-iron clothes. We probably wear a lot of creased stuff too. I enjoy my mother's general horror at our slovenly ways.

ChasingDaisy · 20/06/2013 11:23

Fuck kyz that's awful.

O has just gone out with my dad and stepmum. First time out without me or XP.

Passmethecrisps · 20/06/2013 11:39

Holy fuck kyz that is awful. What a horrendous situation. As if you don't all have enough to deal with.

And fucking hell BP! Is this normal behaviour for him? These things must surely be family decisions

MadamGazelleIsMyMum · 20/06/2013 11:46

chasing it will be ok

BigPigLittlePig · 20/06/2013 11:54

Bloody hell kyz - sounds as though he needs posting the quiche manky slap-fish, once I'm done with dh.

Not sure what the full story is re dh, but from what I can gather, he got into a verbal tiff with someone at work, then told them to see him outside Hmm Someone overheard, and reported him - and as this isn't the first time he's been "verbally abusive" his manager has said there'll be an investigation with HR present. DH thinks he's going to be given the heave-ho - quite possible. So his response is to jump before he is pushed. I have convinced him to go for a coffee and a chat with his manager. I have also drummed into him that we are fucking skinto, and several hundred pounds is due to the childminder imminently, which cannot be backed out of as we have signed a contract. Plus credit card is at it's limit. Have heard nothing now in several hours but on the plus side, he hasn't pulled up on the driveway.

Have just listed 2nd car on gumtree. I'll fucking well get the bus to work. We need to have some cash in case of emergency sackage

MadamGazelleIsMyMum · 20/06/2013 12:11

Oh crikey BP, just what you need when you're about to go back to work. Fingers crossed managers/HR take a sensible approach and you DH knows how to be contrite. Eeek.

ChasingDaisy · 20/06/2013 12:45

Oscar loved it and didn't even notice I wasn't there Smile Sad

AK lovely lentils made. Housing options appointment at the council on Monday. Will hopefully find out what my options are.

MissMummy1 · 20/06/2013 12:45

Baby makers! Argos have the Maxi Cosi Tobi almost half price in their sale with free delivery. I might have just bought one...

Kyz what a cock. People like that drive me mad. When DP worked the safety boats and I did bits and pieces on rib rescue, you would be amazed how many attempted suicides we got called out to. I would say 90% of them bottled it and confessed to seeking attention. (although they never worded it that way Hmm ). And with kids involved? Arse arse arse. Angry

Did I mention I just blew my new camera fund on a carseat? Fuck, I must be growing up Blush

BigPigLittlePig · 20/06/2013 12:48

Chasing I'm glad he enjoyed it.

Dh has got away with a written warning. And a suggestion of anger management not a bad idea In my good books he is not.

Clarella · 20/06/2013 12:48

oh I'm sorry bplp huuuge fx for you.

rubbish night. I really don't think lo has reflux anymore as breast feeding as so calm even when he chokes a bit - I just don't know - but I think the teething is causing dribble which is causing issues at night. dunno if to try omeprazole again or not.

lost it with dp this morning who was ordering me about, about when to bf and when to offer food etc. not proud of self at all threw weaning book that had been shoved under my nose across room and inflatable bath book at dp but feel it's been never ending nagging about feeding in one way or another for months now. he wants me to cut out feeds at night so lo will eat more in day but it doesn't work like that. for so long lo would feed best when sleepy or at night etc. surprisingly he's suddenly decided he likes boob in the day again (could be heat).

all on top of hospital crap yesterday.

I just want to enjoy being a mummy Sad

Clarella · 20/06/2013 12:50

oh god kyz not easy.

glad it's ok bplp

BigPigLittlePig · 20/06/2013 14:38

Why is it that, out of a selection of lovely brightly coloured jingly jangly baby toys, F manages to bypass the lot and find a piece of paper to chew?

Fuck Kyz. You are right. Your mum deserves better than that. He must be seriously fucked up to do something like that though...

BP glad DH got away with a warning. Suggest anger management would help!!! That is all you need right now. What is wrong with these men?! Arghhhhh!

Oscar nommed a load of dried fruit Shock straight down the hatch! At baby group - he spotted the plate of it and went for it! Raisins, apricots, pineapple. All in! And in the process I noted TEEF!!! That's right, plural! 2 teefies!! Both bottom teeth have popped through since this morning!!!! Awww! And not a bit of fuss over them! Ignores last 4 months of fussing!

Kyzordz · 20/06/2013 14:51

How did you give the mackerel pennie?

Thankful Thursday, how could I forget?!

Well, I am always thankful for the quiche and I'm thankful for my little boy and my lovely family. This particular Thursday I am thankful for the fact that dickhead has gone and that oddly since he has been gone elyza has been full of smiles and barely made a peep. I am betting she could sense the stress in the air and particularly my mum being stressed would've affected her.

I am also thankful for cbeebies, because without it I wouldn't be able to write this post!

I am thankful Eric is a good sleeper not that you'd know to it judging by today's naps!!

Glad it's ok bplp my dp too has to reign in his temper at work before I fucking kill him because he has a tendency to be a bit short tempered!

Glad he enjoyed it chasing

Hugs clarella, lots of hugs

TheDetective · 20/06/2013 15:10

I am thankful for the lion king for allowing me to eat breakfast/lunch/dinner!
