has everyone gone?
It's taken me an age to catch up.
Norty, you sound like you are having a tough time of it at the moment and I so know how you feel wrt parents. when I've had a meltdown with DS, it brings back my own childhood to me as I remember my mum melting down at me and just how flipping terrified I was. We never got on, she was ill after I was born and I was practically raised by my big sister for the first five years of my life and mum and I never really bonded. We did get over that in later years and latterly we had a very good relationship, if a bit volatile at times, but I vividly remember a LOT from my childhood and am so terrified of DS hating me the way that I felt I hated her when I was little. Anyway, for me it is about turning into her and I really don't want that to happen.....sorry if that all sounds self indulgent
fury, sounds like a very scary expereince with DS but sooo glad he is OK. You guys deserve a break healwise, you really do. DS spilt his head open two weeks after I started back at work ans spent his 2nd birthday in the Sick Kids hospital in theatre being stitched up.. Talk about feeling guitly at going back to work! I also struggled a bit with the binding with DD. With DS it was instant, but with Em I think I'd had such a horrible emotional pregnancy and I was worried about Down's that I just didn't feel that rush. Being in hospital alone with her in our wee room for a few days changed all that, but the love I have for her isn;t nealry as intense as that for DS. It's growing all the time though!
....although not today when she farking bit me again. This was at 3:30 and my nipple is still sore. I gave her a bottle tonight as I just couldn;t face it again. she's teething, but still.....
fairy, glad you saw someone and that it's put your mind at rest. fingers crossed he starts to feel better soon.
foxy....just great big hugs and some virtual tea and cake for you
families are odd. I can laready feel the distance between my sisters and I, and it's only been two months since mum died. I have phoned them both several times, and have had one call from each of them in return. My sis sent a cheque with my share of mum's estate and couldn't even be bothered putting in a card, or even a note...it was just a cheque. That shocked me a little.
I am the queen of the marked down meat/ready meal. I feel the whole shopping trip has been wasted if there is nothing there . Steak is the best as it's usually nice and mature and just ready for eating when it's on its date.
jammy and bumoer your meals sound delicious. We had farking expensive gastropub stuff from M&S that was very disappointing. jammy you'll have interesting nappies tomorrow after beetroot
lolling at the garden shed mhc

DS and Dh are doing the Sport Relief mile tomorrow. DS is beside himself with excitement.
