O watches the same video on youtube over and over and over - either on my iphone when I too am trying to get a bit longer in bed
or trying to get ready and he will not stop whinging because he wants my full attention, and nothing else will do other than the youtube vid obvs.
Same as it's always been, fecking Lion King... I just can't wait to strangle this fucking song to be king. Never known it fail. Nothing else works the same. Although I think he's taken a shining to the cbeebies bedtime hour, so I've recorded loads a few for emergency 6am mummy slumped on the sofa O in the highchair use.
We'll call it the pre breakfast hour....
Pass feeling the same, for the same reasons. ((((hugs))))
I've had a MAJOR wobble about O's childcare. Really wobbling over it and am very close to ringing childminders and finding O a place. I'm not convinced about him going to MIL's. I asked her if she wanted me to buy a few things for her house, just basic safety stuff that she can remove when O isn't there - pressure fit stair gate, fireguard, and some door stopper things. I was hoping she would keep O to one room and make that room the baby proofed one. She has 2 rooms, the back room is a smaller room, and her living room. Bit cluttered, but could easily be baby proofed. Front room is absolutely full of shite, all stuff what she said is for selling/car boot etc. But it is jam packed. If she let us help, we could sort it, and she could use the room again. Again, would be idea for making in to a little play room for the children (she has another grandson - 15 month old to look after, plus 6 year old who she has several days a week). She only has a cabinate and a dining table in there, and the room is huge.
But no, she is keeping them in the kitchen
. The kitchen is SO not safe no way, no how. It's full of stuff, all the sides and cupboards are full of all kinds. The floor is a solid tile. The other baby is fine in there - he doesn't go in to things he shouldn't. O is the complete opposite. I am very very worried about this. She is going to get a gate for the bottom of the stairs, but that is it.
I'm willing to pay for the stuff, get stuff so it doesn't damage walls or anything, and help her sell all the stuff she moans about cluttering her house up. But that doesn't seem to be what she wants.
Going to talk to DP. I can't let O go there with 2 babies and the level of stuff he could get up to. :( Now I've written it down, it's made my mind up really. Either she wants to look after O and will sort the place out to be safer for him (which really won't take much) or not.
I don't mind, as long as O is happy and safe.
