Oh blimey yw, good luck! Had to smile at the mental image of her crawling off out the room, then having major wobble over loss of close at hand humans!
How's building work going, eliza? What's the likely duration of it all?
Had a lovely meal out with dh last night to celebrate getting my training job, one of the best meals I have ever had. Drank too much 
though so feeling about 70% of my usual morning self, which isn't a great place to be!
SIL babysat both girls, massive favour for us at short notice. But. You will recall my recent MIL ramblings, well SIL is cut from the same cloth. As soon as we got in, she started moaning about dsd and how rude, immature, ignorant, disobedient etc she is.Not a nice thing to say about her. I tried to explain that she is only like that with them and ILs (yrs of them conditioning "bad" behaviours) and got the response "I work with children, and she is just rude and immature." Rapidly changed the subject before I blew my top. This morrning dsd is quiet and subdued, and when I asked if she had fun she burst into tears and said no, SIL kept shouting at her,and when dsd genuinely hurt herself falling out of bed, just got shouted at more. I am sick and 
of the ILs and their negative impact on my children. I can't wait to cut ties. Nobody gets dsd, not even her own mum (and i don't say that lightly) - why can't they just be positive about her??
Sorry, rant over.
