June 07- Housework is for the weak!

HELLOOO!!!

Just been reading your thread Daisy, am so sorry you feel so awful. You've been so supportive to everyone on here, I wish I had something to suggest that would help you.

can DH take DS off for the day? Surely they need some time together 1:1? You can then take to your bed, have a bath with DD, and cosy up for a few hours baby-mooning.

Good for you for doing something pro-active and positive about it though. You might be feeling shite, but you are taking control of it - and IMHO that is really, really important! xxx

I don't think I should play scrabulous anymore
I suck and I am really competitive so everytime I lose I go ballistic

LOL TA, I am the same, I HATE losing!

oops sorry wish I had refreshed before I type my self-indulgent posts

Daisy I have read your thread too and agree with foxy can't dh take ds out and you and dd spend day in bed eating choc reading and watching tv. Hit him with the frying pan if you need to

by the way I was looking for everyone this am as well

My house is a tip, there are toys EVERYWHERE, my kids are still in their pjs. The TV has only just gone on though, so I don't feel too bad about it. DD1 is whinging fairly constantly and is covered in snot. Lovely.

Oh well. C'est la vie.

cheers guys...i'm just feeling particulrly shite today. my poor ds gets ignored all week in favour of babyboo so our feeding suffers as he's always bouncing on top of me when i try to feed to get my attention. i think i should use weekends to spend quality time with ds, but need to resolve feeding ishoos too and am torn between them. then dh comes along with his big words no action attitude (think he wants my attention too) and i can't split myself into three. how everyone else manages i have no idea.

shouldn't be on here either

Daisy, try to remember that this is how it is FOR NOW. It will change so try not to beat yourself up about it. You've just done the whole school holidays with a new baby, DS at home and DH away nearly all the week, and that's tough on you!

Can you and DH come up with a plan together? MRR will benefit from 1:1 attention from EITHER of you, it doesn't have to be BOTH of you. And he is at the age when many boys want more from Dad anyway. Can DH take him to the cinema, softplay or football on a Saturday morning? You can all go to the park in the afternoon then. You must not use this time for dusting though!

DOn't worry too much about mrr, once dd is up and about and being weaned you'll have much more time to yourself and to spend with him. I'm sure a few months of not having mum to himself much won't do him any harm.

Hope you are not feeling to down on yourself, you are doing a fab job!

It will all be so different once term starts too!

cheers foxy, i think sometimes i lose a little perspective. hv told me that i should concentrate on what i'm acheiving rather than getting bogged down in how crap i'm doing. wise words really.

boys are sorting out ds room at the mo...we are all going to the park this afternoon....provided i can get out of the pyjamas i've been in since wednesday night

been sucked in by scrabulous now tho

yay...roll on tuesday

BTW I've got fucking tonsilitis again! That's the 3rd time since ds was born! I feel like complete shit and I can barely swallow. I don't know how long I can keep going on like this!

ouch holly, tonsilitis sucks (not literally though..ha ha). were you not meant to have them out beofre you got pregnant or something?

Daisy, you haven't stayed in those pj's since weds have you??

Sorry you are ill again holly, thats shite.

Yep, can't go back on the waiting list til I've stopped bfing though! Then obv I'll have to wait for an inpatients ap and then for the op! It's a pile of shite!

Go and have a lovely hot bubble bath and a cup of tea daisy! It might make you feel a bit more human!

Dp has gone for a golf lesson !

i just missed a turn and swapped some consonants on our game holly as i had no vowels....still got no farking vowels.

Daisy - Go and get dressed! you'll feel better for it

I had all vowels just now daisy, 3u's, 3o's and 1e! I was obv stealing them all from you!

not the same pjs.....and i have changed my knickers and had a wash....just not showered or got dressed.....only been out of the house to put the bin out yesterday....in my pjs.

I know I know some fresh air will do me the world of good, but that involves the real world...it's a scary place

off for a shower then lucnh and outdoors.

talk to you all later.

I think its very important to get showered, dressed, brush your hair even if you don't go out Daisy. Now, you know how bossy I can be and you don't really want me on your case, do you?

IKWYM about the world being scary though.

I hate outside, it's very over-rated IMO!
