Agree about DH not being allowed to criticise my parents. And sorry, didn't mean to get into in-law territory.

Good on your mum, bumper. Hope things settle down from gere on.

Oh that's nice - I'm pleased.....bet you feel tons better now ...it always plays on me when there is an atmosphere....its like a big weight is lifted when its sorted out...

Sputnik - bee keeping?? Sounds very cool - especially collecting (?) your own honey.

Andie and FF - I'm good for next wednesday

Poo update - all back to normal (DSs that is ). Looks like the increase in fruit did the trick.

Daisy, hope your aches and pains are a little better today.

Swimming sounds lovely - might have to investigate that here.

Right - off to catch up on the last 2 pages...

Hi, just a quick post. Am sorting out some stuff for charity shop/ebay. I have a medela mini electric pump which has hardly been used. Was going to ebay it but just noticed it has a tiny crack in the plastic of the bit that goes over your nipple, which I think means it won't get the right amount of suction - but you can get replacements for a few £ by calling the manufacturer. Would anyone like it - free (although you will have to buy the replacement bit). I will put it on the general free board but thought I'd offer it on here first

Back later

Annobal, excellent it's a date for next weds.

DynamiteDaisy · 06/11/2007 10:03

bumper, sorry you've argued with your mum again, but it's nice that she has apologised. I'm sure she just cares about you and wants to make sure that you're OK. FWIW, I second her opinion about chatting things through with the MH nurse or your GP before you give up on the ADs. You've been taking them for a few weeks, so it's likely that they have made you feel better about things. I made the mistake of doing that when I first took them for PND after having DS; stopped them as I felt better.....then I felt worse and had to take them again, then I stopped again......five years on I'm still trying to get my head together.

It could be that ADs aren't the thing for you thugh, but you should look at getting some sessions with the MH nurse to talk things through, rather than just going cold turkey on the ADs.

My mum and dad have thankfully been content to let us all go our own way in the world without too much criticism...hopefully that means they were confident that their well rounded children would happily find their own way in life without any guidance from them rather than they couldn't care less. I have had some huge arguments with my Dad in the past though...it's not nice.

and likewise, don't get me started on inlaws. Mine bangs on about how they are strangers to DD, but yet they never invite us over, and when we do invite them over here or phone to say we're going to pop in, they always have something else arranged or it's such a palaver to rearrange their schedule and we have to feel eternally grateful.....then there's her judginess on the state of my house...nothing said, but lots of raised eyebrows and veiled comments...and if she says once more "is she on a bottle yet?" or "you just don't know how much she's getting", I'm going to take a bottle and ram it down her throat to shut her up

.....

annobalthebignosereindeer · 06/11/2007 10:44

Bumper - I'm sorry that you argued, but great that she appologised.

What is that thing with parents and bottles?? The amount of times I heard, you'll just have to supplement if you can't keep up!

Have very grizzly baby today and can't put him down so think i am going to be in for one of those days.

DynamiteDaisy · 06/11/2007 11:44

is it teeth annobal?

DDs bottom two have disappeared ?????

they cut through the gum line aaaaaages ago, then didn't do anything else, and now the gum seems to have closed back over the top of them....weird.

DynamiteDaisy · 06/11/2007 11:45

holly are you still hunting for diapers????

andiemisletoe · 06/11/2007 11:46

justbeme · 06/11/2007 12:13

Bumper, glad you got an apology - just when you said she never apologises!

Fairy - thanks for the offer of the pump, but i rarely express so my hand one is fine.

justbeme · 06/11/2007 12:13

Oh and hope you feel better Charlie .

BadZelda · 06/11/2007 12:16

Hey there

Back from morning playgroup so just thought I'd catch up before we head to the playground. I've just been reading one of the AIBU threads and it's so saddening how nasty people on here can be. In fact it feels a bit like lord of the flies on some threads!

DynamiteDaisy · 06/11/2007 13:26

Ok...it's TheTwelveDAISYOfChristmas ....do you see what I did there?......

......oh, well, I think it's clever

norty, sorry for you and your DD...get yourselves off to bed for the afternoon. hope you feel better soon.

it can feel a bit like that on here at times BZ , although surely people realise that posting on AIBU is leaving themselves wide open for criticism.

nowbringussomeJammypudding · 06/11/2007 13:49

Like that, Daisy.

Had morning at big shops of Oxford. Wimped out when time came to BF and sought the dull safety of Boots baby room, rather than getting 'em out in a nice cafe Regretted it later, but she was very grizzly and didn't want that attention drawn to self.

And got some lovely warm jamas from Marksies, as was very cold sitting feeding at 4am this morning.

andiemisletoe · 06/11/2007 14:05

jammy do you get out of bed? I just drag him in from the cot and snuggle under the duvet

andiemisletoe · 06/11/2007 14:05

sorry daisy vv clever name

nowbringussomeJammypudding · 06/11/2007 14:12

Yeah, she's in her own room, so I go through there, change her and sit and feed. Even when she was in our room, used to go next door to change nappy then come and sit leaning against footboard of our bed to feed. But it was summer then and nice and warm.

OP posts:
DynamiteDaisy · 06/11/2007 14:18

I sniggle in bed with the duvet as well. Have tried lying in bed to feed but haven't quite masrered that so sit propped on lots of pillows (poor DH has to fight me for a pillow when he is at home). Recently I've been putting my dressing gown on though as it is fecking cold!

Oh, DS had a DRY night last night ......the first one in over a year!

DD is very crotchety this afternoon....she hasn't stopped groaning and whinging since her last feed!

DynamiteDaisy · 06/11/2007 14:19

sniggle???? i mean snuggle, LOL

andiemisletoe · 06/11/2007 14:41
