Lily it must be really hard for them too. Almost over... How will you celebrate tomorrow?

Lily311 · 07/11/2013 18:02

It is very hard for them, Leo's sister who is 6 years older than Leo remembers him being small and she thinks O is very similar. And she feels awful by the way they treated me before and after O was born. I will never forgive them for taking her inheritance away and that's why I have such hard time accepting anything from them. I don't need any help from them for raising O and they can never claim anything from me, they know that.
I won't celebrate pr, I will just take a deep breath and stop worrying I am so afraid they will kidnap her, I even took O with me to the loo today. That's how badly I trust them.

PetiteRaleuse · 07/11/2013 18:10

I didn't realise they took her inheritance. That's really bad :(

Lily311 · 07/11/2013 18:15

It's a long story. I could write a book. But I won't.

fruitpastilles · 07/11/2013 18:28

Yay to first steps pp
lily at least you have made it through the visit, I didn't realise that either, that is awful. Poor O.
S stood up in the bath and done a wee, sat down, then stood up again and done a poo. Nice. Then she was trying to pick it up as I was trying to get her out. I just showered her after the bath had emptied instead of running her a fresh one. That will be the 3rd time I've had to shower her today after pooing everywhere. In fact that's what I should change my name to, ShowerOfShit haha

O just started crying 45 mins after going to bed, which is very unlike him. I went in to give him a cuddle, thinking maybe it was separation anxiety after being apart from me for a while, when he did a huge burp and went back to sleep! That'll teach me for thinking he can't bear to be apart from me Grin

Just ordered his letter from Santa from the NSPCC. Got a special First Christmas one last year and plan to do it every year.

PetiteRaleuse · 07/11/2013 19:20

I think I have seen a ShowerOfShit fruit

fruitpastilles · 07/11/2013 19:26

Damn!

fruitpastilles · 07/11/2013 19:29

Can I give S calpol while she's on abs does anyone know?

YellowWellies · 07/11/2013 19:43

Fruit yes calpol is fine with ABs Smile

fruitpastilles · 07/11/2013 19:47

Thanks yw poor thing is sobbing in her sleep, I am assuming it's because her ears are hurting.

horseylady · 07/11/2013 20:06

Hugs pumpkin.

Ds walks when he can be bothered. Must of the time he falls over laughing. Nutter baby.

I'm selling one my horses. It's so hard. I feel so guilty and I keep feeling like I'm constantly justifying myself. I feel so sad, but so relived. I've never felt like I just don't want to ride something in my life. I think I've just put all I can into her and I just want her sold. And I feel awful for feeling this way. I appreciate none of you understand this, but that kind of helps. I just want a horse I can get on and ride where and when I want. Not one I am constantly making allowances for and fighting with.

YellowWellies · 07/11/2013 20:21

Aww Fruit that always breaks my heart. Poor wee possum.

DH is very loudly singing to the radio in the kitchen whilst he attempts to bake a dairy free birthday cake for me and my sister. I do love him - he always puts 110% love into anything he does. Even if he isn't an accomplished baker I shall rave about said cake Smile .

Horsey it sounds more like hard work than a joy - as someone with no experience of horses of any note - I reckon you've made a wise decision.

ValiumQueen · 07/11/2013 20:22

I know little of horses, but that makes sense to me. I can imagine it is hard though as they are living things, not cars or houses x

GTbaby · 07/11/2013 20:27

Aww fruit poor baby!
And VQ all I can offer is hugs.

Think I'm going to download chasing daisies. Need a book. I used to read loads. Now last book I read was 50shades. Omg. That's embarrassing. I HAVE TO READ a book.

Think A has an umbilical hernia. Anyone's lo have that? Anything I should/nt do?

H has been miserable. Suspect it's post jabs and teeth blues. Hasn't eaten well. Didn't drink his bedtime bottle. Had half a banana n a bit of cake for dinner. Lol we were desperate, after leaving most his lunch and refusing the rice, dall, pasta and soup he was offered.

Today H leant over to A, unprompted, and kissed him on the mouth. So cute. Then when I was trying to cheer H up by showing him pictures on my phone he kissed a pic of A when it came up. He doesn't kiss anyone other then A. Not even me anymore.

horseylady · 07/11/2013 20:28

Cheers guys. I feel like a failure. But I'm not. Well people keep telling me I'm not. I dunno.

ValiumQueen · 07/11/2013 20:33

GT that is lovely, not the bit about him not kissing you though. That is not on!

Fruit you have my sympathies. We just want to make them all better and it is horrid seeing them suffer.

ValiumQueen · 07/11/2013 20:33

Horsey you are as far from being a failure as I am from being a catwalk model x

PetiteRaleuse · 07/11/2013 20:36

GT that is very cute. Why do you think A has an umbilical hernia?

horsey not having ever owned a horse I don't quite understand, but having ridden well over a hundred, and fallen in love with several who have gone on to be sold as not suitable for their purpose (including the one that broke my back - he was sold on because of my accident which was very unfair) I do kind of understand how hard it must be. Life, especially now our energy is elsewhere, is not meant to be a constant battle. Maybe ten years ago you would have relished the challenge (I was the only one who loved riding the one that tried to do me in) but you do need to pass your horse on to someone who does have the time and energy to handle her. And that is fine.

Sometimes I wish you could do the same with other pets oh and

PetiteRaleuse · 07/11/2013 20:40

You're not a failure at all, be kind to yourself.

PetiteRaleuse · 07/11/2013 20:46

-DD1 it's bedtime

  • Non merci maman

Aggggghhhhhhh

Pikz · 07/11/2013 20:55

Horsey if your a failure then I shall join VQ with I'm a catwalk model! Be nice to myself my dear girl.

PR at least she was polite.

Sorry about baths of shite and ear infections :(

PetiteRaleuse · 07/11/2013 21:01

Exactly. Normally it's just a straight NON. Nursery is teaching her how to tell me to fuck off, but nicely :o

And she still won't fucking go the fuck to bed!!!! It's 10pm. Are they giving her ecstasy at the sodding creche? They said she slept for one hour. Go the fuck to bed godammit I want a shag

ChasingDaisy · 07/11/2013 21:03

Horsey my knowledge of horses is much the same as PR's. I can empathise with how hard a decision it must have been Sad

I'm craving chocolate.

ChasingDaisy · 07/11/2013 21:06

I love that people are reading Chasing Daisy Grin

Am getting my hair done on Sat. Can't wait. Tis long overdue. My hair hasn't been this long since I was 15 but I quite like it so might keep it long. Cannot wait to get my colour done though, roots are ridiculous. Pre-Oscar I would never let myself be seen in public with bad roots. Oh how my standards have slipped!
