[ellenkpa]

.

That really is absolute shit about the period Ange - Bugger.

Right. Cake.

Thanks Dippy. Sorry to hear about hearing test. As you say I'm sure it will be fine... just us mummies are born to worry or at least I am

Hope you have a good time tomorrow, Shame about the spa swimming etc.

Curious - how do you knoe if period or still bleeding?

Ernie is 5 weeks on monday - we are away next week in Devon so will have checks at 7 weeks!

DS2 has his preschool boosters nest week dreading it - not going to tell him til in room and have rolled his trousers up! Thought would make appointment with hv and get them both weighed etc to preoccupy him beforehand! I think he must be getting on towards 12lbs ...

CD - everytime you type a/n - I think antenatal and think ooh shes got a midwife appointment then remember you have baby already LOL and I assume not pg already! hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

My baby bleeding slowed down and then stopped for almost a week and then started again for about 3/4 days and has stopped I put it down to period, but I suppose it could be baby bleeding still, wait a month and see I suppose. I did the same after Jake though.

Jabs I hate taking children for jabs. Hope it goes ok.

I believe Dippy has already been thinking about number 4

are you bf or ff?

I am so pissed off, i'M not having a good time at all.
I feel so trapped by my kids, Iwish I could just get out without them, why am I the only person who is capable of looking after all 3.
I NEED A FUCKING DAY OFF.
DD1 is doing my head in, she has decided that she is going to scream bloody murder every time I put her down for a nap for 2 Fucking hours so far tonight, there is nothing wrong with the little cow FFS
DH is going potty, he can't deal with it and i am the one who is stuck trying to hold everthing together.
I haven't slpet for the past week or so as zed has constipation, Dh and I are supposed to take it in turns to sleep next to him to stick his dummy in, but DH starts carrying on like a dickhead swearing and turnign the bloody light s on, so I end up getting pissed of and sleeping next to zed all ngiht just so I don't have to deal with DH's hissy fit.

Now it is Lola's go why the fuck is she crying, well why the hellnot everyone els is, I suppose she is just feeling left out.

I am so ppissed off with people telling me how well this other new twin mum is coping with her 4 kids, like I am not coping with mine, well I'm sorry I am doing my best.
I just feel like giving up everything I have been trying to do for dd1 and the dt's and just doing what I can to have a quite life even if i never get a moment to myself again.
I want them all to stop crying, they haven't got anything to cry about so why the fuck are they all crying all the time.

I am trying my best but I just don't think it is good enough.

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo way

Long term contraception is a def must here - would have another baby but don't ever ever ver ververvevrverrvevrevrvervverv want to be pregnant ever again!

Dreading the jabs ...

I asked about feeding as thought - have no idea despite being no.3 that if you bf you didn't get periods for yonks

BF Octo

That's exactly what I thought Octo but that is not the case apparently.

Still bleeding a bit here too.

Ange, it's so hard not to worry but I bet everything is OK, just newborns don't "perform" on cue!! ESpecially if you're trying to catch wee in a pot LOL.

Fingers crossed for a good night all round - we deserve it!

KHIN - Sorry you are having such a hard time. You are doing your best. I'm finding it hard coping with one baby and a 3.5 yr old. Don't beat yourself up hun. It's really hard especially without the support from your DH.

Really hoping things get easier for you.l [[hugs]]

x-post, KHIN I don't know what to say it sounds utterly shit, you must just want to escape for a bit. Are you getting any kind of extra help?

oh kneehigh - you poor thing - yes, you do need a break and time to yourself - its not asking too much. You need to tell dh how you feel and ask for more help. Do you have any family nearby? aren't you near me and WCL? Would you like to meet up next week?

your dd probably has no concept of the real effect she is having despite knowing it winds you up - if it was just her it would be easy to deal with but you have had no sleep and have two more babies to deal with - your reaction is perfectly normal. Do not compare yourself to other people and how they are doing. Work out what you need to make things better and try to get some help to make those things happen - and work it out with dh so he knows!

Big hugs - would be happy to do anything to help

Now there is a laugh DH look after the 3 of them by himself, that would mean that he would have to stop doing his bloody building work for 5 mins, and we wouldn't want that to happen cause the world would end

I wish someone would take them all off me but for some reason when people do come to help me out (mainly my parents) they just leave it all up to me apart from feeding on of the dt's ever 4 hours, that part I can do on my own how about taking DD1 off my hand for the day.
Today my mum came round for the morning and once again decide that it would be a good idea to take dd1's nappie off to try and potty train her, which doesn't work at the best of time was 100 time's worse when she was really tired.
having people round to help just seem's to make more work for me.

Could you write down what needs done to help then give it to your mum? Your DH sounds like he's being a bit useless but is he doing all the building because he thinks it's helping?

You really need to tell your mum a) its a bad time for potty training at the moment enough on hands b) take your dd1 to park please c) get dh to take dts for walk and lastly you sit down and chill out in silence or have nice bath or whatever.

Yes - I am thinking about No 4!!!!!

I am a nutter.

KHIN - There's absolutely nothing wrong with the way you are feeling right now honey - [[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[hugs]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]] Wish I lived closer and could come & help you out / give you a wee break - Don't be hard on yourself - I am glad you can come on here and "let it all out" ..... I think you are Super Woman - completely incredible & coping so well. I can't even imagine what you must be going through looking for the DT's and DD's and your DH being so unhelpful. Well, I suppose I can up to a point - 3 under 3.5 is no mean feat, but your job is so much harder - I am in awe and admire you so much - Please, please come & vent on here when you need - and don't be afraid to ask for some help - Is there any support network around you atm??? Think that is soooo what you need right now ....

I agree with Liath.

I do understand about the visitors thing - my mum has been trying to visit for weeks and the thought of her coming is way too much - she is helpful but drives me potty and get more wound up by her than the help she is iyswim!

New thread title:

Super boobs is a nutter

I am off to bed - please keep us posted kneehigh - thinking of you

Yes - I think you need to be v.clear & specific with what you would like your mum to do - She sounds v.much like my useless MIL who needs things spelt out to her V.E.R.Y S.L.O.W.L.Y, otherwise she just carries on her merry little way and makes me want to bang her head very hard into something .... well. ...... very hard ...

Dh is doing all the building "for our family"
yeah like we need that more than me being sane.
The only thing I need done is some me time, I can't get any sleep any time of day or night because I am in constant demand.
I feel like chucking in bf but part of me really doesn't want to completely cause then it is double the bottles etc
How do I get some time to sleep, no one seems to know what to do with dt's or dd1 when i am not around and everything just ends up going tit's up and waking me up anyway.

Fab new thread title, octo!! Night hon - Sweet Dreams ..... .....
