Det height with depth

5 hours. Get in!!!!!

9.5 hours Thank you lovely O.

Luis how are things with you? Knees any better?

Been up with a screaming baby since 3.15. He is almost asleep in his bouncer. He is finding it very hard to breathe so I think we will both be seeing a dr tomorrow. I think he needs steroids rather than antibiotics. This wheeze just never goes.

This is on top of a dreadful evening with both DS and DD2. I have had about 30 minutes sleep and am going to try to get my head down on the sofa.

Madam I am sorry you are in a similar situation.

(((((VQ))))) I am wishing more than anything that you and your gorgeous kids get a break soon.

Yes O, I am very happy to see you too. No O, it isn't time to wake up and play. Yes O, you have a beautiful smile now go the fuck back to sleep

VQ no where near as bad as you guys have it - we actually managed some sleep although DS hAs been awake for the day for 30 mins now. Am going to give up trying to make him go back to sleep when it clearly isn't going to happen. DD eventually settled, the cough is awful.

BPLP it wasn't the word itself but the context. It's a very common turn of phrase in these parts but I can see why it was deleted.

I remember the AIBU thread.

fatima (((( hugs ))))

mm all sounds very sensible. Hope DP gets a scan apt v soon.

I am a very bad mother. DS2 asked to go to McDonalds yesterday and as I needed to go to the shops anyway I said yes. J sat like a little angel drinking from his sippy cup, sooking a few fries and eating a ^naked chicken nugget*. I stripped off the coating and cut up the chicken for him. Stupid, stupid, stupid. There must have been enough egg left on or in it to upset for J's tummy, he's hardly slept tonight and is crying and arching his back. There's no sign of a skin reaction like he had after the scrambled egg but it's obviously causing him distress. Hopefully as it was only a small amount he'll be better tomorrow the poor little mite. It's DS2's 7th birthday tomorrow and he has a hyuge Skylanders Giants cake that neither J nor I will be able to eat. And it's not great for DH either as he's low carbing too. DS1 and DS2 will have to share it with their friends.

Aaaaww stunt don't beat yourself up you have to do these things when you've got older ones...dd has tried a Maccy fry or two as well

BPLP like Madame said, it's the context. When someone is using gay as a negative it's being offensive to those that are gay. There could be gay people on this thread that don't see their sexuality as a negative thing. I remember a couple of years back that a radio dj got in trouble using gay as a negative and I think it really went out of favour then.

It's all about living and learning innit!!

stunt it could be a reaction to the cooking fat on the chips or the chicken as well. Don't beat yourself up about it.

pig I would get it being deleted if it had been reported but I am surprised at it being reported iyswim.

Fwiw I didn't notice it but don't like the term, having two very intelligent very gay siblings. That said the times it really offends me are when it is used by children who don't know the other meanings of the word and thereby associate it with something negative, instilling a tough to get rid of homophobia.

As a throwaway comment from an otherwise intelligent adult I assume it is irony of some kind.

It is hardly the most offensive of terms though compared, as vq said to someof the christian bashing that goes on (not on this thread) That bugs me, and I say that as a non believer.

Moving on....

I'm knackered. Cold + lack of sleep from worrying + trouble getting DD1 down last night = knackered little me. I'm tempted to go back to bed and forget about project routine today too. I'm so tired.

Sorry about the bad nights people. I leave my screens out of my room now, so unless I go into the kitchen to make up a night time feed I don't pick it up. But I am awake and sympathetic in spirit quite a lot of the night even if I don't post or get my arse kicked on WWF.

I did wonder If a certain person might pop up again when they saw the thread title and say " crawling,CRAWLING, Zwhat do that November quiche think they ate talking about they don't crawl till they are at least 9"

As you were.

oh dear stunt I hope he is better tomorrow when the big boys are pinging all o Eric the house full of cake!

I ordered my birthday cake yesterday. My birthday is in November, but a friend has a cake business and posted a picture of the most amazing triple chocolate cake on her FB page. It is my present to self in advance. I need something to look forward to.

Just reread my post and maybe it's not worded very well. I don't see anyone's sexuality as a negative if that makes sense but who ever reported it should have pmed you first.

Why do babies sleep so much better in our beds than their own.

Interesting interesting

As madam says, it is a commonly heard phrase round about these parts, to the point where that word has taken on a whole new meaning, one not connected to someones sexuality. But...every day's a school day - shall know better now!

Another 7-5.30 here (despite snot), that's the hat-trick little pig! Good work O chasing - totally get the "5am is not playtime" thing though

LOL at the memory of The Quiche Basher. Maybe he/she was scared off by dets growling!?

Stunt - chicken nuggets have egg?! To hold the coating on, I suppose? It would never have even crossed my mind.

Back off to the coal face - fc for a half day.

Good luck pig hope you don't have anything too horrible to deal with today.

I hope my two don't catch this cold. Though it isn't a very bad cold I don't think.

Taking them to the paed tomorrow. Need her to fill in some forms for nursery re allergies and allowed meds, and I also want her to have a look at DD1's poos which are still very strange and frequent. The one food difference with the holiday was that over there she didn't eat any compote but otoh had many more sugary drinks, so less milk (though she did have a couple of bottles a day). Dr Google (the paed always loves me mentioning google, not!) tells me that the poos look like coeliac disease poos. So I want that ruled out - I believe there is a test. I have taken photos though I'm sure she'll either say wait and see or want samples.

Another shit night here, just for a change!

DD still asleep as got to bed late after a full day out, as in 13hours out the house! DD wide awake since 7 even tho he didn't go to bed til 11.30pm and was up screaming again during the night.

Need to collect omeprazole prescription today, do any of you guys get the liquid version?

Turtle tots later and slimming world this morning. Dreading weigh in.

J's skin has reacted to something. I had an Indian takeaway on sun night so I suspect that. It first appeared Monday morning. I asked if anything contained butter or cream and avoided the dish they said did so am confused.

Hello, just a quick post. Sorry I've not read the thread, but I need to get this out, it really bothering me.
I sounded off to my RL friend a baby group and to a worker there about P last week. As i just got to the end of my rope. This week by the sign up sheet there was a leaflet about domestic absue, I'm not being absued I just want P to stop being a twat. Anyway I've promised her that I will be more communticate with him. I know she is trying to help.

Tanks for letting me sound off. I will post tonight.
Evil

stunt not a bad mummy. DD didnt have McD's until she was almost 2. Now, she often tells me she "needs" nuggets and chips and DS has eaten nuggets and hamburger bread. Sorry that J reacted though.

izzy good luck with SW weigh in. It might not be as bad as you think. DH is thinking of joining - I want us to be healthy but need him properly on board, and think going to meetings might help him actually re-educate himself. He is proclaiming himself to be willing, so that's something I guess.

evil from the relationship boards, I think there are many types of abuse, including emotional abuse, so dont discount it just because it isnt physical. Well done for opening up IRL. Hopefully more communication with P might help him realise what he's doing and the effect this has on you?

DH is trying. Det, has your DP had a word? He had a half day y'day so properly cleaned the house from top to bottom. Did a good job too. Also said he's crap with initiative and so if I leave lists of things he will do thm. On the one hand, at least he is willing, and he will do it, I know it isnt an empty promise. However, it still leaves all the responsibility on me. Nit-picking, I know.

(((Hugs))) VQ, izzy and PR

Agree with thechick re. Use of that word. Here you do get a fair few yoofs using it as an insult, a lot probably don't link it with homosexuality but I can see how it can instill some underlying homophobia.

M woke up twice within 1.5hours but then that was it she did 8:30-12-1:15-7:15 I needed to get ready this morning and she was tired so managed to get her to go back to sleep about 7:45. She's now still asleep, need breakfast and dressing and we've got friends coming in 30 mins.

I think I need to go clothes and toy shopping for M. Her toys are starting to seem a bit babyish. Clothes wise she's moving in to 6-9months but we've not got as much, what we have got seem to be summery and some days the weather leaves a lot to be desired. Going to go to sainbos and buy leggings and tops I think.
Ooh that's reminds me of my PIL/clothes related rant but I'll save it for later.

Izzy could there have been ghee in the Indian food?

We have just had the official WORST NAPPY EVER, yes J has beaten DS1 and DS2 to the top spot. Still at least now I don't want any breakfast.

Does anyone else have a baby walker for their LO? I ordered walker this one from Mothercare yesterday but I'm a bit conflicted. DH's little brother fell down their front steps in his so my ILs are dead set against them. I just thought he could cruise around the kitchen in it now that he doesn't like his baby swing any more.

Izzy Indian takeaways are off the menu as they're usually cooked in ghee (clarified butter) rather than oil. Sorry!

Morning .

I have a broked baby again. I'm going to try upping the ranitidine tonight. But it would help if someone could post the formula pass again . As I am sure he is near the maximum. I got on the scales with him yesterday and he's roughly 19lb7.

He had 2 night feeds, 2am was the first . He was up for the day at 6.

Poor DP has done the last few nights, as I have taken Nytol. His crap nights don't start til after we are in bed.

I don't know what to do for the best. As I need some sleep to function obvs, but I'm not getting any enough if I don't take the Nytol. If I do take the Nytol I can manage a night feed okay, but not the repeated wake ups and resettling. I just get groggy, disorientated and my entire body feels like it is pinned under a weight.

So DP is doing most of the shite right now. He seems fine fucking bastard but I feel guilty as fuck.

Also, I still have to wake him up...

Stunt do you think it was the egg that caused the nappy this morning?!

Baby walkers are 'out of favour' at the moment I think. Something to do with the hips? Same for door bouncers and even jumperoos. We weren't planning getting a bouncer or walker, but he has a door bouncer now, and loves it. I'm still not getting a walker, purely because O in a walker is a recipe for disaster. :) And I have enough shit in my house argghhhhhhhhhhhhh!
