Mine's a bit of a wanker too! I think it may be because I let him get away with doing fuck all, I'm not very good at nagging, can't be bothered!

Zelda I am sort of with you here...I can't get involved in these conversations because my DH is bloody wonderful

Even when I told him about all the money I lost he gave me a big cuddle and said it was only money and to stop fretting about it

Jamantha · 18/09/2007 09:06

Sometimes I'd agree with you BZ, but you know what, I really do love him, and he's not all bad, and nor am I perfect

Jamantha · 18/09/2007 09:20

Oh dear, has my display of emotion scared everyone off? Made them run off to throw up?

Charlie999 · 18/09/2007 09:22

Not at all Jamantha - I love mine as well

Have a good day everyone....off to see my sister and LOs...

BadZelda · 18/09/2007 09:23

Oh dear - that was rather uncalled for. I'm sorry!

BadZelda · 18/09/2007 09:24

Ah...I'll look on the bright side. At least me slagging them off has made you look for any good points they have

BadZelda · 18/09/2007 09:25

Jamantha - am a bit that you've been getting up at 3.40am to feed baby - do you do that EVERY night? You must be knackered! Does DD go to bed early in the evening? I guess it's a trade-off between free evenings and nights?

Jamantha · 18/09/2007 09:28

Yes, thanks Zelda. It easy to forget the good stuff.

Anyway, I'm meant to be preparing to justify why my job should be worth loadsamoney. Interview later this morning to establish what it is that I do exactly, so they can decide what I should be being paid. (Gulp!)

Jamantha · 18/09/2007 09:31

We start bedtime about 7pm, she's normally asleep by 7.45/8.00. Most nights she then wakes once, sometime between 3 and 5, and then is up again between 6 and 7.30 in the morning. I go to bed about 9.30/10pm, and can now cope very well with one night call, but get run down by two on the odd nights that that occurs.

BadZelda · 18/09/2007 09:39

Ahhhh - Ella used to wake at that time unless I gave her a 'dream feed' at 11-12. Then she'd sleep through. Matilda doesn't seem to need that - maybe because I've only just started putting her down early, rather than feeding all evening till 11?

BadZelda · 18/09/2007 09:40

Good luck with the interview!

Jamantha · 18/09/2007 09:41

If I were to "dream feed" at 11, I'd have to wake up to do it, so seems self-defeating.

BadZelda · 18/09/2007 09:52

Of course...I tend to go to bed FAR too late - which is why I struggle if I've to get up in the night. But last night DD2 slept through, but DD1 woke me at three cos she needed to use the toilet. I shouldn't complain because this is MASSIVE progress - I'll be able to drop her night nappy soon!

daisyandbabybootoo · 18/09/2007 09:54

LOL BZ, I often think that myself

again, he's not all bad. he does do lots at the weekend including most of the cooking and my weekly shop. he just isn't very good at dealing with my down days. and i must confess that if i feel down or poorly in ay way I'm a right bitch to be around.....i'd rather just be by myself wallowing in my misery, but not possible with DCs is it?

and he always fixes me tea and toast in bed at the weekends too

Jamantha · 18/09/2007 10:04

Right we're off (yes, I'm taking dd with me!) to see if my brain is still capable of coherent, persauasive argument.

daisyandbabybootoo · 18/09/2007 10:07

I've probably missed you Jamantha....but Good Luck anyway!

foxybrown · 18/09/2007 12:44

Hey, BZ, its one thing for me to call DP a wanker...

if i can't come on here and have a moan, where can i? Surely I'm allowed to be grumpy and take it out on him

He's pretty good in the mornings, I have to say

andiem · 18/09/2007 12:48

Hi everyone rl caught up with me again dh has now gone off to spain for a couple of days so mn can resume.

my dh is ok he has good intentions but sometimes he gets caught up in rugby etc etc and forgets that there are dcs in the house

daisyandbabybootoo · 18/09/2007 12:57

good afternoon. I've managed to do a few hours work in the house today (shines halo).

still feeling like shite though.

IKWYM foxy....my DH still has his uses, it's just some days I struggle to see what those are

He'll be home again tonight thankflly...I really need a cuddle

trendaverter · 18/09/2007 13:29

thankfully I managed to recover half of my money for the nappies (not that anyone cares lol), hopefully the rest should come tomorrow

andiem · 18/09/2007 13:33

well done TA consumer champion

Jamantha · 18/09/2007 13:34

Sorry you feel like shite Daisy. And glad you got some money back, TA

bumperlicious · 18/09/2007 13:36

For you bargain hunters out there 20% off at DP

BZ you have to remember you only hear the bad bits when we come on here and whinge! My DH is lovely and a fab dad, admittedly we seem to be going through a bad patch but it's not because he's crap, we are just both having trouble adjusting to a new baby. I don't like to come on her and say how fab he is as I worry about feeling smug .

I rang him up at 9am today and told him that I had had enough already and didn't want to do it any more, as I was knackered and DD was screaming for no fathomable reason. Well actually she was a bit hungry but I had to change her and then she weed everywhere! Once she decides she is hungry there's no going back!

trendaverter · 18/09/2007 13:36

LOL thanks guys

I wanted to say...
I don't think all your DP's/DH's are arses, I am sorry if I made it sound like that earlier, let's be honest I don't even know them...
I just feel like I cannot join in with those conversations as my DH is a lovely kind man so I just lurk.

I suspect the disposable nappy lot do the same when the conversations turn to diddy diapers

Anyway...I just wanted to clarify what I was trying (incoherently) to say earlier
