koshka- he's trying to decide whether to dump you or not!! who does he think he is?? if i were i wouldnt have it, i think you should kick him out and concerntrate on ypurself and your son!! you deserve someone who will appreciate you and treat you like a human being.

glad to hear that you will be seeing someone to help you with your emotions, remember you and your sons' wellbeing is all that matters!

Twirl · 15/09/2006 16:36

Hi all
Koshka I would tell him that you have decided for him and you want him to leave. He doesn't deserve you and you and your lo will do much better without him. If he can't give you both 100% then he isn't worthy of you. I know you probably don't thinks so now but one day you will meet someone who really loves you and your child. Hugs to you.
Sorry, will have to continue chat later as both children are crying.........

Koshka- you really are better off without him. it makes me so mad, he is treating you terribly, don't let him do it to you anymore ask him to leave and concentrate on looking after your lovely self and gorgeous baby. Take all the support that is offered to you am also very at your GP. There are lots of single mums out there including both my sisters, they both do a wonderful job with their boys and are definitely much happier since seperating from unsupportive partners, they both look back now and wonder why they found it so difficult breaking up with them xxx

nixnoo · 15/09/2006 17:38

Aw Koshka..
Living in lingo like that is hell!
I agree: you should make his mind up for him, and ask him to leave. He is treating you badly, you need to show him that he can't control you like that.
He is being a bully

Another rock and roll Friday night for me..

Lovely pictures HC Beautiful girls with beautiful curls and beautiful eyes- gorgeous!

superblue · 15/09/2006 21:17

Koshka - I know it is easier said than done but my advice would be to get rid! Who does he think he is deciding whether to dump you?? I hope things work out for you X Thinking about you.

HC - lovely photos - you have 2 very beautiful children.

Still no idea how to put photos on!!

Typing whilst talking to my mum on the phone so not paying attention to her

...I'm back. What do you do when they are both crying at the same time? I never know who to comfort first so I end up with both of them on my lap at the same time having a big cuddle together and DD isn't particularly happy with this solution and tells me to put DS down to wait for his turn!!! She's a scream!
Not much news from me - just a bit like ground hog day here with the constant 2 hourly feeds still (at 11 weeks!). I did manage to leave the house with both kids (and me) washed, fed and dressed by 9.15 yesterday to get to toddler group, so felt very proud of myself! DS still won't settle in the evenings although when he does fall asleep he sleeps well during the night and never takes long to settle after night feeds. Not sure what I'm doing wrong in the evening - he still wants to 'tank' up until 9ish. Do you try and settle your lo's in bed in the evening or are they downstairs with you?

jom · 15/09/2006 21:59

Koshka- Be strong hun, thinking of you. We're all here for you xxxx

HumphreysCorner · 15/09/2006 22:14

Night all-hope it is a good one.

KiwiKat · 16/09/2006 02:02

Thanks everyone for making me feel so welcome. I need a spot of cheering up, as I'm up with a little boy who just WON'T go to sleep - am not happy. Especially as DH has gone away on a boys' weekend, so it's just me and the baby, and the weekend is looking very loooooong.

Koshka, sorry to hear that your partner is treating you so badly.

Kiwikat and insomniac Max, 12 weeks tomorrow

Superblue I'm exactly the same when talking to my dear old nan on the phone She likes to tell me about the lives of everyone she knows!

Love the pics jom they are gorgeous children

KZ- I have only ever heard good stuff about cranio so it's definitely worth a go.

Twirl- at waiting his turn- you have taught her to share well I do put Zack down upstairs in the evening. With less distractions he feeds for 45 mins to an hour in a dark quiet room then drops off soundly in his cot.

Kiwikat- typical that your DH is away, I hope you got some sleep eventually? Wishing you a sunny day so you can go for walks and make the weekend fly by

Zack was up twice again in the night and actually woke me a third but I didn't have to fed him after a few mins he went back off. Of course it then took me a good 20 mins to go back off he then woke again an hour after that. I can usually cope with being up twice but last night had very broken sleep. Oh well think positive for tonight!

maewest · 16/09/2006 09:01

Morning all - welcome Kiwikat

Still really broken sleep, often not for feeding, just grunty baby - I seem to be super sensitive to every noise he makes (unlike DH who seems to be able to sleep through it, grrr).

Had to take Dom in for more blood tests yesterday and he screamed the place down. He fought the nurse who was trying to find a vein for ages - that's my boy , she kept saying how strong he was, and did give him a cuddle to apologise afterwards.

We're trying to establish a bit of a bedtime routine, don't manage to bath him every night, but when we do he absolutely loves it (has graduated to the big bath), then feed and put down in his basket and tucked in our bedroom (dark). He usually settles himself with the aid of a thumb or dummy, think it's because there's nothing more interesting going on - far too many distractions downstairs, he just wants to join in the conversation! We're going to get a baby monitor thingy so that DH & I can spend some time downstairs together in the evenings.

p.s. hugs to you Koshka xx

I thought that too KZ! Also forgot to add Kiwi that our Zack was very nearly a Max

prettymum · 16/09/2006 10:06

morning all, had a reasonable night, ds went to sleep at 8.00 in the evening and i managed to go gym for an hour!! he woke at 12.30 and woke dd who decided to have a screamimg fit!! dp had to take her out of the room, but we all slept through till half 7, not sure about dp he had to go work early and didnt hear him leave.

ds is becoming sooo big, he has really strong legs and loves to stand!!

maewest, ds also loves the bath too, he gets one every night with dd as it helps him to settle more quick, its amazing how fast they grow isnt it!!
