March 2007 - where the babies all get feisty and we "make rods for our own backs" or develop arms like a trucker!

[Mossy]

Couldn't help it!

Morning all,

Kitty ha ha did you see that bringing up baby programme the one where the continuum concept people went to see continuum concept toddlers? They were about two years old and chopping cucumbers and the like with really sharp knives. It was quite scary... maybe that's where your dd3 got it from?

Foxy ikwym, I am glad I can now have a more adult relationship with my Dad, and it's good for Bertie too.

Bolleaux I was going to write a bit more but there's a wail where there was once just a kerfuffle.........

Will come back later.

Happy fireworks day everyone

am feeling fat fat fat so off to do callanetics whilst Samuel has a few zzzz's... back later...

morning everyone. strange weekend at the parents. i think my dp is emotionless and do not know how much longer i can stay with him. since having Hayden my priorities have changed. i would like to think i would have at least one more baby and perhaps settle down and get married or at least co-habit with my partner but Sean wants neither and i am not getting any younger! should i stick it out even if there is no real future? when i try and tell him it is over he makes it out as though everything is fine! sods law that the one guy i really like has the mentality of a 16 year old! sorry for going on. i also uploaded more pics of Hayden, sorry to bore you!
Piffle - cant put them (the pics) on fb yet as different computer! will try to soon though! also could not find pics of your little gorl but then i am still trying to find my way around fb!

bethoo see if this works as a link here

Piffle - it is because this is a military computer and the MOD blocks certain pages and fb is one of them. i have to use another computerthat is not networked and i ma also gettign a lap top for chrimbo so will defo be up and running every night! i can access fb for a little time at work just to check notifications really. but my friend here should help me load my pics on from disk.

rosy glad you're back home great that dh is losing the weight and taking his health seriously - how are things between you both atm?
Hope Hasan is better too, por ickle poorly babies

Kitty you do make me laugh your kids sound endlessly entertaining and frightening at the same time

Bethoo - you can only give it so long - he's is getting everything he wants and you're left holding the baby and the getting your needs ignored... Might be time to think about ultimatums if you really want more love and more kids. Tough one though I know.

Mossy glad meeting your dad was such a positive time, nice to have some healing there

Foxy - apathetic inertia here too - My epitaph will be " I wanted to do that but could never be arsed getting off my arse to actually do it" I am SO CRAP atm (atm btw = 5 years to date)
Muppet = callanetics

I feel so bad now - although I did mop the kitchen floor, which might not sound much, but I very rarely do it...

Who have I missed, where is Shanks btw anyoen seen her about?

bathoo easy I will put them on my mn profile in a sec!

Ah, bethoo you and hayden are both so lovely! Your dp sounds like he needs to grow up. And he needs glasses if he can't see how lucky he is to have the pair of you.
Do you think it's 'confrontation' time?
I mean you don't want to spend your life looking after a "man baby" do you?
You need a supportive partner .

oops gotta dash dd3 has emptied the cupboards and is smacking Ronnie round the head with spare birthday cards!

He, he she's gone off now.
Piff my kids frighten me.
I was wondering today why I am going to the trouble to create "dr who" fancy dress outfits for the children for their school's firework fany dress competition on saturday.
Last year it was Pirates of the carribean and i did ds1 up as 'Davy Jones' tentacles 'n' all.
This year I'll do ds2 up as an "ood" see, I know how to do tentacles and I believe you should stick with what you know
The little tykes can't be arsed to help.
I quite like doing arty stuff though. Dp thinks i'm doing too much.
I'm having stressy thought s about christmas already, anyone else?

christmas
Kitty it's only November I never think about it until at least dec the 18th
I do order M+S food and then forget about it for ages

it's the present buying that scares me!

Have you started the dvd yet ? I'm always asking you that aren't I? Tell me to bog off

kitty
see my inertia post earlier today

But PIff, all you have to do is 4 mins!!!!

Christmas - parents have informed us that they're not coming up to stay after all, so we're opting out and have booked to go skiing instead! Just need to find a way of explaining to ds1 that Santa will leave his presents here, not where we are, beacuse there's no way we can take his present (a new bike) with us! Actually as it means no catering, there's an awful lot less preperation to do.

Howdy

DS1 has gone to a mates house for fireworks so it is all quiet on the wetstern front here

aaaaahhhhhhhhhsssiiiiggghhhhhh

Got some fireworks for the kids to have in the garden. They were only interested in the sparklers. 20 squid down the drain then

snoo snoo, I am saggitatrian! whatdoyoumean gobshite will do pics when have set up site for rellies, or will feel guilty.

baby keeps being woken up by firworks/ dreadful snuffles. made him a milk pudding and need to raise his cot one end. when he next awakes/dh home from work

bethoo, sounds v difficult for you, hope it works out.

oops...i posted on a contentious thread.better not return to it,i shall be on facebook tonight looking for random groups to join

kitty-i dont think that PMT group is hardcore enough for the likes of us.i think i will see if there are any PMDD groups as mine is way beyond PMT since i had ds2.it was 2 weeks a month,now its 3.you know PMT is ruling your life when you set your wedding date so it falls on the day after your period finishes,to be sure of being sypmtom free.

christmas presents scare me also.ive decided to stop being all fluffy and media-driven about christmas now.i tell my kids that lying is wrong so i'm not going to lie to them about father christmas etc.dd1 has decided she wants to practise wicca/paganism which is fine by me.we will be celebrating 'yule',seeing as thats what december 25th is anyway and Jesus wasn't born in december.ds2 is the perfect age to buy presents for,hence why i already have his.

i have 2 birthdays to think of before christmas as well

bethoo-please dont waste any more emotional energy on your dp.you cant force a man to love or commit to you,and if you let him keep taking the piss he will.it will end up destroying your self esteem in the long run.having a child with somebody doesnt mean you are stuck with them for life.you are young and gorgeous and i'm sure the right man for you is out there waiting.

rosy-glad your dh is looking after himself now.what happened to the lardy thread?i got down to 1lb above my pre-preg weight just before the wedding(dont know why i look so bloody fat in the photos),but i have spent the last 2 weeks stuffing myself with cakes and chocolate and put 5lb back on

Snoo snoo, I've done 4 birthday's since August and I've got another 2 before xmas as well.
It's all too much for me atm

Piffle you are not too crap to score 86 on a scrabble word!!!!!

Morning all

Bethoo - I don't know. Your dp sounds quite up and down; he was getting better with you most recently wasn't he? Why's he changed back to being how he was? He does sound very immature (I hope you don't mind me saying that!) as Snoosnoo says you are young and gorgeous and could have anyone you wanted...

Snoosnoo you know, my parents told me Father Christmas was a lie. They said they weren't going to tell me about him because if I found out he was a lie, I might start to think that the Bible wasn't entirely accurate either.

I told all the kids in my class he wasn't real at age four. I actually got into trouble for it too!

Once again I am thwarted by a waily little man.

you are all right. i should let him go but i must confess that he still means alot to me. and i know it sounds bad but i worry about being single again. it is hard meeting men as i rarely go out and i am quite picky. most nice ones are already taken! i have tried telling sean and i told him i did not know what to do and needed time to think things through, he then left a message on my phone saying how me and little man are the most important things in his life. how can that be when he does not love me i wonder? i will have it out with him but really cant be bothered to even speak to him at the moment it is too mentally exhausting! the worst thing is i feel sorry for him, he is bad with his money and i am always forking out mine for petrol, food and parking etc and i am the one who should be careful with mine. i would be better off financially too. i am a bloody soft touch! soz for going on....(i could go on forever!)

sorry you are having probs bethoo i had been merrily assuming all those issues had been put to bed.... he sounds like a big headache to me... what do your folks make of him?

I am total taxi today...

drop kids at school
return with ds1's trumpet he forgot
take dh to train station
do food shop

car journeys left to do...

pick up dd to take to nurse for dressing change
return her to school
pick up ds1 and dd from school
take ds1 to choir
drop dd at friend's
pick up ds1
pick up dd

Samuel is in and out of the car so much... feel sad for him.

Muppet - that is another problem, when we went to see my parents they thought he was nice. i know my mother was smitten! that is the problem as i know that if i dump him i will hear no end about it! he managed to portray in amazingingly convincing way what a great all round guy he is. he is a nice person do not get me wrong (we all have our faults) but i feel as though i have outgrown him now as he is like a boy. i sound like a bitch. it is hurting but i am trying to get it across at the moment that there is no going back. his texts are getting desperate saying how he will give me space and he will wait for me. why the fuck does it take this to get a bloody reaction you know?

Subject change - - for those who have their periods again. i am coming up to my third, my last period was 2 weeks late and i eventually came on on day 40 (usually 28 days!), this cyle i am already 6 days late (not pregnant.it appears that my cycle is now 40 days, is this normal. is it because i am still bf? it has its good points i am just concerned that i no longer know when i am ovulating for possible future babies. anyone elses cycle longer and are you still bf?

little man thinks it is hilarious when he bites on my nips making me scream!
