lysette- at your husband!! that was out of order!!! and rude of him!!

i felt so overwhelmed yesterday i had tearful rant at dp, i feel like im constantly tidying and it the place still looks s*! he did cook brekky and help me with dinner yesterday, but his been off for nearly 2 weeks and has hardly touched the dishes and has hardly spent a lot of time indoors with us and his time is so consumed at the garage where he has few cars he is getting fixed to sell on!! dd wasnt feeling good so was acting like a little princess which didnt help!

first- at emma and the hair!! they should make baby food in shape of paper (if that makes sense) at least they'll eat it! junior will only chew on a piece of fruit or any other food for a few seconds, but paper! he'll happily chew the whole thing if he had the chance and he loves chewing on baby wipes!

hc and kz- kids around those ages can be so unpredictable and tiresome cant they! some days dd can be so good and will eat her food, listen to what i say, other days its tantrums and demanding for certain things and refusing them again!

id better stop writing now im in the mood to talk rubbish and dont wantto inflict you ladies to it!

hope everyone has a lovely day, i have my last diving lesson at 12 before my test on wednesday! i will pass!

i have been wondering too were koshka is, hope your ok!!

AnnieOleTing · 23/03/2007 13:13

Afternoon All,

Pretty and Lysettes, Grrr at your unhelpful DH's. Hope things improve soon.

HC you're NOT a bad mummy! We all have days like that. They're just testing us. DS isn't even two yet, but he's already starting to refuse food when he doesn't feel like it. Not too sure how we're going to approach it yet. I get very impatient very quickly though. Some days they're just not hungry I guess...

KZ, K stops every four or five paces for a sit! It's a bit like she's stopping to have a look round and check where she's going!
She did what Roshi was doing as well, before she could crawl, she'd be sitting in one place and somehow get across the room without ever appearing to bum shuffle or crawl... Bless.

Right well, have a lovely weekend everyone, must finish off before I skive off early again

Annie

Hello ladies,

Haven't got time to reply to everyone at the minute but it sounds like a few of us are having a crap time of it. {{{{{biggrouphug}}}}}

Zack has a heavy cold and is also teething, he didn't go to bed last night until 4am He then woke at 6.30. He refused breakfast, had a little lunch and has had 1 breastfeed since 1am.
DP finished work at lunchtime and has taken Zack out for a drive to try and get him to have a decent sleep. Since waking he has had a 30 min nap on my shoulder.
Am knackered and also feel cross (selfishly) that my night out tomorrow night isn't looking hopeful

So bloomin' typical, Zack had been eating really well and I just know I'll be back to square one again when he kicks this cold.

Okay I'll quit moaning now, I'll post a proper message at the weekend x

usandnosleep · 23/03/2007 14:31

Wallace you're famous! You're in the talk round-up email

Ceebee74 · 23/03/2007 14:40

Lysettes - at your DH (and yours too Prettymum) - you have every right to be upset as how dare he suggest you aren't doing anything - surely you are doing the most important thing in the world in bringing up his little boy??

HC - just keep repeating to yourself that it is just a phase that your DD1 is going through - I know it is easy for me to say but I have so much admiration for those of you with a toddler aswell - you are doing fab job.

Us - {{{hugs}}} - hope Zack improves and you can go out tomorrow, have learnt that babies are always ill at the most inconvenient times - almost as if they have a sixth sense.

Have also wondered about Koshka - hope she comes back soon

F@F - lol at the hair - that is classic (and disgusting at the same time)!!

I don't know if any of you sign up for the Mumsnet round-up e-mail - I have just read it and Wallace gets a mention - fame at last eh Wallace?

Should really get on with some work but have that Friday afternoon feeling and am counting the hours until I go home and see DS, Dh and have a glass of wine!

Ceebee74 · 23/03/2007 14:41

Us - cross-posted with you

Lysettes · 23/03/2007 16:24

quick post thanks everyone for your support and hugs to everyone else having a crap time of it too!

in the middle of sorting out our filing cupboard ready for the packers

wey hey wallace! 15 minutes of fame for you

i actually asked dh this morning on the phone where he had picked up that charming turn of phrase and then told him exactly what i thought of him using it on me - i had read a couple of your messages by then and got my oomph back. i told him just how much had upset me and that how dare he think i did nothing. he did apologise and say he never meant to upset me and that he didn't think that, but he (apparently) is going to make more of an effort to stop coming out with stupid things like that - he makes a habit of it, but usually when he's drunk (omg that sounds terrible didn't mean it to!)

anyway, having a better day with jacob and a friend and her little baby girl round for lunch so fun fun fun here

have a lovely evening everyone, us i hope you get your night out and hc fingers crossed for a better night for you

hey Lysettes, good on you girlfriend! Glad he apologised. My Dh can come out with some humdingers after some boozage too. Unlike me of course, I never talk scribble when I've been drinking [halo emoticon] Yer right, you should hear the shite I come out with after too much wine. Glad you had fun with your friend - I made 3 good friends through a group I used to take Harry too when he arrived, who I still see every week, and we have all had a subsequent child, but I remember how pleasant days could be spent when you had one child each, a child who was still small enough to stay sort of in the same place that you put them in, sat in a high chair in a restaurant, couldn't talk/ask for anything. You could actually manage a conversation!

On that note - Toby now flips himself over EVERY SINGLE TIME I PUT HIM ON THE FLOOR!! He has become Mr Roll Over, and I can't beleive he is growing up so quickly, where is my newborn gone?

I have resolved to no longer feed him his morning milk when he wakes at any time between 4-6am. Went through the same thing with Harry at a similar age, they both got used to waking at this time, having milk and going back to sleep, but it's too early, and it's waking Harry up and I then don't go back to sleep, and starting every day at 4.30-5.00am is taking it's toll. So - three/four days of outrage at sparrows fart to come I will go in to him, and change him if necessary, but no milk till 7am.....

Took the boys to the soft play at the sportscentre as per every Friday morning, today, to meet my 3 friends who all have 2 boys each too, of similar ages. Came away thinking, "ok, that's good, my boys are actually quite angelic compared to that lot!" 2 of my friends left early as their older boys were throwing epic tantrums, and their babies were screaming. Makes you feel so much better that others are in the same boat eh??

have great weekends all.

Bloss

Hello all (and HC in particular - I'm here!) I've been busy at work and stuff but have had a quick log on here and there to see how you're all doing. Thank you for asking after me. TBH, I felt a bit like FrenchLeave... a little ignored at times... I know it's really hard to keep up with everyone's posts and mention everyone's names but I did feel a bit invisible sometimes.

Anyway, sorry to hear about DP/DH probs. And good to hear all your LOs are doing so well.

Ryan is finally rolling - whoo hoo! No chance of crawling (just as well as we're having our kitchen re-fitted and all possible dangerous implements are piled on the floor in the lounge... I'm hoping he holds off mobility until IKEA get there act together and come and install the units... which could be weeks away.....) He does push himself backwards on the wood floor with his hands but he prefers to just sit up and shout 'ma ma ma' - the most gorgeous sound in the world!! - even though I know he doesn't know what it means!

Envious of those of you with mum's groups and the like - can't seem to find anything like that here in Madrid. Starting to get desperate and thinking of chatting people up at playgrounds... will probably end up getting arrested at this rate..!

Anyway, hello to everyone. Will try and post more regularly (and not be so pathetically insecure ). Here are some pix of little fella on his first beach holiday...

Hugs to you all, Impy

TwinklemEGGan · 23/03/2007 20:18

Fab picture Blossom! Aidan is also Mr Rollover - especially when we're changing his nappy - grr!

Aidan fell off the bed today on one of his rolling over adventures. DH was looking after him and he feels really bad. But apart from a carpet graze on his nose he doesn't seem to be any worse for wear - though I'm not sure I'll sleep too well tonight.

As you can see I'm back - by popular demand don't you know - some well known MNters said they like Twinklemegan! Anyway I couldn't pass up this opportunity!

Wallace · 23/03/2007 20:51

OMG - am I!? I haven't got it...can someone send it too me at sjmackintosh at hotmail dot com?

I'll catch up later

HumphreysCorner · 23/03/2007 21:18

Hurrah-Impy has returned. Repeat after me 'we are all friendly'

Wallace-have forwarded the Mumsnet roundup. Hope you get it.

DH needs to borrow my laptop. Huh!

Back later.

kbaby · 23/03/2007 21:55

Prettymum- You should do what I do and that is to get a blank word document open and then you can flick from mumsnet to word, write it down and then copy it over at the end. Really easy.

Im really anal and hate any mess and get accused of telling DD off for not doing art and craft work tidily. Dh has to say she is only 2 and she is having fun it doesn?t matter that theres glitter on the floor.

HC- I prob would?ve left the trolley at customer services and taken her while huffing and swearing under my breath and if DD doesn?t eat her food and its something I know she normally likes I just say ? ok that?s fine, no yogurt for after though and youd best get down from the table now then? the yogurt normally does the trick or the fact that she knows im not going to create a fuss about it and so she eats it. They are strange little creatures. The gp said to my mum when I used to refuse food that ?no child ever died through starving themselves? and hes right. Maybe chill out a bit about it and if she doesn?t eat it then fine don?t worry but don?t give in on any rubbish snacks.

DD has now taken to having an imaginary friend called kacey, she runs through all the rooms of the house calling her and then says ?I cant find her shes hiding? I almost feel like saying well of course you cant find her because she doesn?t even exist! But then that would be cruel.

Iamblos- You can afford to be broody as you had both boys in bed and they sleep all night. You can always borrow DS who would put you off another in an instant. BTW toby looks so grown up.
FOF- I had to laugh at the hair story, totally gross but still funny.
Lysette- Sorry but your DH sounds like hes being a wan*er, you are only doing the most important job of your life which is raising his son. Uh men!!!!

And a big Hello TO IMPY. I had a quick peak at all your other pics too and I love his hair, he looks lush.

Heres a pic of DD and DS playing together. I know they both look like orphans but it was almost bathtime and I couldn?t be bothered and check out DS plaster on his arm curtesy of DD

TwinklemEGGan · 23/03/2007 22:51

Awww - what a gorgeous pic kbaby! Makes me feel quite that Aidan will probably never have a sibling.

HumphreysCorner · 24/03/2007 16:03

Hello ladies

Twinkle- ah, that is better. Am being nosey but why might Aidan not have a sibling?

kbaby-yes, you are right about the food. My mum has come to the conclusion that as DD1 knows it winds me up she does it all the more. Did bribe her with cake but even that didn't work She will try any tactic to leave the table and go and play so quite reluctant to let her get down but I think I will go for the let her go hungry idea. She has had an imaginary friend, Gog, for over a year now. She talks about him all the time and tells him off exactly like I tell her off. I think crikey, do I really sound like that? Wait until you are putting the 'friend' in and out of the car and the bath. Re: mess-I have banned glitter until it is warm enough to do it outside. I know she has to play but glitter is pushing it. That is a really nice pic-I want a boy now.

Not much else to report so better start on tea.

Wallace · 24/03/2007 19:33

Was going to write a proper catch-up post but there are so many messages (and a famous mumsnetter like me just has sooo little time, you should feel lucky that I deign to post here at all) Thanks HC for sending me the link

Loving the photos. kbaby - Leo looks just like that sitting on the floor playing intensely with a non-baby toy.

Leo is poorly again. Had a touch of the cold and he was due his last injection on Thursday(yes, the 4 month one have been putting it off for so long because of one bug after another) so I took him anyway not wanting to put it off again. Now the poor thing is feverishand miserable with gungy eyes (again!) and a snotty nose.

HumphreysYummyChoccyEggCorner · 24/03/2007 19:43

We are not worthy Wallace

Hope poor little Leo gets better soon.

TwinklemEGGan · 24/03/2007 21:33

HC - Well DH is older than me and he's got two DDs from a previous relationship. Also I had a pretty awful pregnancy, I'm still not really over the birth, and if I got pg now it would still be the immaculate conception. I'm actually terrified of getting pg accidentally. BUT I feel like it would be so selfish not to have another one. No decisions needed now I know, but still I think it's unlikely.
