We have quite a range of ages and they each develop at their own rates... so what can your toddler do?

Sunflower seeds chasing ? Though probably not mixed in with the porridge. It's my favourite snack.

ChasingDaisy · 12/03/2014 17:07

Oh that's a good idea. Could maybe take a bag of seeds and nuts to eat on my way to work.

Arghhhh. H now loves the wrecking ball fucking long. As soon as it slows down at end he starts screaming/ sequealing for a replay. Oh my fucking goodness.

I forgot to mention J's sleep last night which was excellent until 3.30 and then the screaming started. So much for cry it out, I clearly don't have it in me. He wouldn't settle without Calpol and a breastfeed despite me night weaning him a week or two ago . He hasn't had whole milk for a few days now so maybe I was grasping at straws with that one after all.

Anyway come on biatches, let's get this thread finished.

Now I understand the general lack of excitement.

Don't make me do this on my own.

I like a challenge Grin.

I want to see a mass scrum to get to the end of the thread.

Flibbedy gibbery.

I think my iPhone hates me.

StuntNun · 12/03/2014 18:25

Anyone know any jokes?

OP posts:
TheDetective · 12/03/2014 18:25

I read that as scrotum.

No one wants a scrotum.

StuntNun · 12/03/2014 18:25

An Englishmen, an Irishman and a Scotsman walk into a bar and the bartender says, "Is this some kind of joke?"

OP posts:
TheDetective · 12/03/2014 18:25

That wasn't the joke Grin.

StuntNun · 12/03/2014 18:26

Why aren't there any aspirin in the jungle?
Because the parrots eat 'em all!

My jokes aren't suitable for publishing Grin.

StuntNun · 12/03/2014 18:27

Woman returns home from work and opens her door to be greeted by a man, stark bollock naked, painted green and waving his dick around. Horrified she lets out a scream, runs away from the house straight across the road only to get knocked down dead by a bus.

Moral of the story: Never cross the road when the green man's flashing.

TheDetective · 12/03/2014 18:30

Sorry - I have just stared blankly at the discussion. I have no idea.

I saw every hour from 1 - 6. Some of the wakes I didn't get back to sleep between. Then Dr, where Mr Happy No-Gunk seemed fine. Then while we were out, his eyes gunked up and his temperature soared. So I bought some ibuprofen and have given calpol when we got back. He's still miserable, and took 40 minute sof screaming, including 20 with me in the room, to get to sleep. I am exhausted, considering not bothering with music class tomorrow - opinions please! - and have Mrs Vicar coming to talk about the church youth group at 7:15. At least that means I can crack open the Wine

Whinge whinge whinge sorry SadThanks

Intelligence. I have 2 brothers and one sister: a vet, a teacher and an it geek. I am doing my second degree, we are first generation university educated people. I think my parents did extremely well for raising such clever kids.

As for happiness, well I was the happiest when I found out I was pregnant with O. I want that feeling back. After losing Leo I don't give a shit about job satisfaction and financial gain, i certainly don't want to build a carrier and compromise on family life. I am not sure I will ever will be happy again, I will need an awesome man to make me feel one. And I know I will never be happy without a man in my life, content and balanced yes but happy, no.
