Thanks Sophia it was a rough night. I wish I knew what was wrong with him, he's had Calpol and teething gel, there's not a lot more I can do other than comfort him. But he's screaming and screaming. I just wish DH was some use but despite being away this week and getting a couple of full night's sleep in the hotel, he loses his temper so quickly. He holds J rigidly in his arms and kind of bobs up and down, it looks really unpleasant to be held like that. And then swearing and shouting at him? How's that going to help exactly? Then today is Father's Day so I have to get the house tidied up and make dinner as his parents are coming round and he'll want to pretend everything's normal and he's such a great dad. I swear if FIL starts criticising everything I say or MIL starts going on about what great parents her other children are (the ones with only one child and no special needs)... let's just say I will not be held responsible for the consequences. I got a row from them last week because my mum made them feel guilty about never helping us with the kids! Oh and a lecture on how great their granddaughter that was Gina Forded is. Yes because routines cure reflux, why didn't I think of that?
Sorry I thought I felt better but apparently I'm still in full on rant mode. It really helps getting it out on here though, I'll be able to suck it up and play nice later on.
My little bundle is all curled up in my lap fast asleep for now. I shouldn't complain, I've had an awful night but his had been much worse.
