lol at dyson dippy!

pesha - lucky M has got a lovely mummy in you.

Bramshott / SOL - I felt really sad that 2007 was over and that was the yearT was born. And I feel sad looking at his tiny baby clothes thinking he has grown out of them already. I think sometimes that you have to have the sad/time passing lows to truely appreciate the wonderful highs of life. iyswim

Hi SPB - yeh, they checked all his vitals and reckoned he was ok. He was incoherent (sp?) collapsed on the floor but they got him back into bed and said to keep an eye on him over night. He's fine now. The worse thing was T woke right up and enjoyed watching the drame until 2am and then wouldn't sleep and kept crying and waking. I was a complete zombie the next day.

StealthPolarBear · 02/01/2008 21:57

Glad he was OK but what did they think it was?
Hope T is sleeping well again!

fpesha · 02/01/2008 21:58

Well she's always very emotional when she comes back. Often starts crying about nothing - yestaerday it was me asking her to brush her hair before we went out - and then says she misses xp and wife but then went on to say she hardly got to see xp cos he was upstairs most of the time. And this isnt the first time, she has mentioned before teht they went out but he didnt go. And when the wife told me at start dec that they were going to take dd to panto she said then that xp wouldnt be going.

Oh and one of dd's presents was a bubble gum machine, I hate her chewing gum it just makes her look like a petulant teenager you know when she stands there mouth open chewing away. Anyway dd said, totally innocently, that the wife (have to think what to call her other than 'the wife' ) said "I thought your mammy was gonna kill me for buying you that" yet bought it anyway and gave it to her saying that thuis setting up the idea that what mummy thinks doesnt matter when shes there iyswim and they generally seem to take no notice of what I want or think. Or am I overreacting cos I'm pissed off?

Wow you're all so chatty tonight.

PMSL - at CaptainDyson

Oooggs - Hope E's ear is ok! Was she in a lot of pain before it started dripping?

Pesha - Sorry M's dad is being annoying again. Lucky M to have such a lovely mummy.

Izzy in bed now, J asleep under the blanket on the sofa, waiting for DH to put him up to bed.

Oooohhhh I forgot, J is now not wearing nappies to bed and as yet we haven't had any accidents, no doubt because I've said that he will tonight! I'm so proud of my big boy

oooggs · 02/01/2008 22:02

I would be furious pesha and would have something to say. Which is easy for me to type cos I am not living it

PillockOfTheCommunity · 02/01/2008 22:02

you're overreacting cos you're pissed off (i do it lots) but you also have a point

i would say that some of the tears are probably cos they're not sticking to bedtimes, i get the same.

is infuriating when they cant see we set the rules to benefit the children

'the wife' will soon learn when the new baby gets older

oooggs · 02/01/2008 22:02

wow ange - well done Jake

no pain at all, infact super happy today, she isn't bothered by it at all

PillockOfTheCommunity · 02/01/2008 22:04

oooggs do they know what is causing it?
M had exactly that caused by his milk intolerance

OP posts:
AngeG · 02/01/2008 22:06

I too would be angry about it Pesha. Do you get on with 'the wife'? Would it be worth talking to her about M staying and that she goes to spend time primarily with her Dad and try and get her to talk to him about it?

I only say that as DH xw and I tend to communicate about arrangements for the children as he is hopeless at it.

tcmummy · 02/01/2008 22:06

SPB They thought it was some kind of virus Wierd. Although stuff effects him differently because of the tumour he had and all the meds he's on. Just saw your posts about going to Cornwall. Did you know you can fly Newquay to Newcastle? When we took T to Portugal it really wasn'y as bad as we thought with all the baby stuff. I would choose a flight than a 9 hour drive any day! We looked into it all because we were looking at moving to Cornwall instead of Cambridge. just a bit different! In the end it didn't seem quite right. Although we were soooo tempted!

POC - ooh, could do coffee on saturday if you fancy it???

Def dont stick to bedtimes, dont seem to give her any boundaries either iyswim. i understand wanting to spoil her and not wanting to have to tell her off in the short time shes there but kids need it. I cant let her do whatever she wants which means for about a week after she comes home I get constant attitude, answering back, arguing, lying. Just when i think we're getting over all that.

Also upset by my mums attitude to them both but especially Nathan after spending the afternoon with her and my sis and dniece. Said to dp perhaps we should move away. My only reason for staying has alwasy been cos I wouldnt want to take dc away from thier extended family but atm it doesnt feel like such a problem.

Sorry for being so totally self absorbed. Having a bad night. Think I should go to bed soon. Dont really want to though

Hadnt realised just how crap I was feeling till I started writing it all down so its been quite helpful really as otherwise I prob would have just gone around in a shit bad mood snapping at people all week! And of course you all say lovely things to me which helps

Bramshott · 02/01/2008 22:12
