Funny stuff
It was decided that MN is constructive
SPB asked "does it get easier as they get older?" (still pmsl at that one )

Also worthy of note
Octo had more wine leading to this quote -
"Fuck it, bugger working and going to supply and have 4 more children ..."

There were excellent language skills on display in the Liath household .....
"A recent conversation at my sister's house went thus:
Dd - I'm going to bugger off the cat, Mummy.
Me - I beg your pardon?
Dd - I'M GOING TO BUGGER OFF THE CAT MUMMY!
Me -
Dd - Bugger off cat!!
Cat -
I must stop using foul language"

A collaberation between Mr Dippy and NL came up with this new 'lullaby'.....
"Some naughty children didn't go to bed,
Along came a goblin and chopped off their heads.
Their poor parents started to weep,
Because the naughty children wouldn't go to sleep!"
"The naughty children bewailed their fate
But alas and alack it was all too late
The Goblin scarpered, quick as could be
So listen MY naughty children, go to sleep for ME!"

Pesha (or should that be Peesha ) got fed up of not being able to say her own name correctly and has changed it to Mashanapedyjo (Masher for short) thanks to Octo!

Octothechildherder · 27/01/2008 20:49

Great - shall we check the forecast closer to the time? I also need to check what day SIL wants to meet up.

oooggs · 27/01/2008 20:50

okey dokey - just let us know

AngeG · 27/01/2008 20:50

Elkie, good idea.

Apparently he's going to bed now. Hope he doesn't think his luck is in

Octothechildherder · 27/01/2008 20:51

like I said - wanker

elkiedee · 27/01/2008 20:53

Ange, cross post as the phone rang in the middle of it, glad he's finally got round to it.

Pesha, I know what you're saying.

It seems the Council still wants to hand over two of our children's centres, including one of the nearest ones to me, to other organisations to run. Another mum whose baby is only a little older than D phoned to say she's trying to organise a meeting about it. I'm cross about the Council's plans but glad someone else wants to do something.

oooggs · 27/01/2008 21:01

hope you can make it anyway I'm off to bed - only way I can cope with the night waking and early morning

only said to dh that if I had just ds2 then it would be 1 feed in night and up at 7.30am and if I just had dd it would be unbroken sleep then up at 6.30am - sounds awful but tiredness sucks

Octothechildherder · 27/01/2008 21:01

go to bed Joe

PillockOfTheCommunity · 27/01/2008 21:04

does it count as CC when you ignor them cos you know they're tired and you don't have the energy to keep up and down stairs?

OP posts:
AngeG · 27/01/2008 21:05

Absolutely POTC!

Octothechildherder · 27/01/2008 21:06

NO - you aren't one of those awful mummies who abandon their children and deprive them of love and comfort are you??? FGS POTC - you are doing a fab job and leaving them for a bit won;t harm him.

PillockOfTheCommunity · 27/01/2008 21:07

He's sleeping through at night now, but it's sent daytimes and bedtime tits up

OP posts:
Octothechildherder · 27/01/2008 21:09

Go and get ready for bed then - have nice bath, hot choc, book and snuggle down!

Octothechildherder · 27/01/2008 21:09

Actually that sounds so nice - I'm off!

See you later xxxxx

PillockOfTheCommunity · 27/01/2008 21:09

he's awake at 6.30 and shattered again by 8, meaning that he's grouchy as we're trying to get out the door in the mornings. He then sleeps for 2 hours during day, then again 4 til 6. Is tired again by 7 but not tired enough to sleep, just whines from then til he finally falls asleep somewhere between 8.30 and 10.

I'd rather go back to the days of 6 til 6 with 2 night time feeds!

OP posts:
PillockOfTheCommunity · 27/01/2008 21:10

baths banned, would fall asleep and with no one to check on me I'd drown

can't go to bed til he's totally asleep or I'll wake him. arsing light sleepingf baby, M sleeps through the smoke alarm

Eddas · 27/01/2008 21:11

it sounds like lots of us are having timing troubles, 9 month itch Trouble is my problem seems to be with dd not ds

Eddas · 27/01/2008 21:13

dd would sleep through an earth quake. Just like her mother Well pre dc anyway. I seem to wake at lots now

PillockOfTheCommunity · 27/01/2008 21:14

ignore me, I'm just feeling shitty, came on on Friday and I always bleed really heavily which leaves me headachey and yuck.

Had a bad night on Friday too which has left me feeling a bit blue.

OP posts:
Pesha · 27/01/2008 21:14

It definitley does count Ellie!! I find sometiomes when they're really tired and crying themselves to sleep that going in and out every 5 minutes can actually disturb them more and keep them awake longer!

Depends on the baby, the cry and what they're used to obviously. Joe has always been one to have a little bit of a cry/whinge before going to sleep anyway hasnt he? Just his way of getting to sleep.
