Explicit facebooking, the mind truly boggles. Will there be diagrams? Filthy ha'porths.

I like the idea of doing it before work so that it can't go on forever. An egg timer might work too. He does need to come home earlier and you need your Mum to stay away more. You often sound like you need her help, dh sounds like he needs to work and there's little needing of each other. I agree that you need to get away together perhaps but you also need to be a family together. I don't know what he expected of parenthood but staying at work late each night and thinking nothing or nobody would change is not the answer. I think you should be doing the night routine together, L should be in her cot and asleep and then grown up time. That's family life and it can be fantastic.

LG&T, Come And Stay. Look Jam's coming too. It'd be rude not to.

ShowOfHands · 08/08/2008 12:17

If she messages you on FB, dh won't see it unless he knows your log in.

MKG, move here, you know it makes sense.

I couldn't be a lesbian. Not until women have willies. Aah, aren't you glad I'm back?

MKG · 08/08/2008 12:24

Who's talking about being a lesbian?!

I would move there, but closest to who. You guys would think I'm playing favorites. Nope I better stay on my side equal distance. Although lately I've just been thinking about getting out of here and having an adventure with my family.

largeginandtonic · 08/08/2008 12:25

Have FB you and no he camt see it, i have not put it on your wall!!! Not that mean. Read it and squirm

I was a lesbian once, quite dull really.

I will be broke for the rest of August, dh has saved he sea pay ao we can go away for a 2-3 night break while the kids are at exp wedding (you know on my birthday )

If he paid up we would be able to Fucker.

god was vv nearly incredibly rude then about women and willies. Put sensible hat back on Jam and get your mind out of the gutter.

MKG you are up early today.

elkiedee · 08/08/2008 12:25

Facebook has a message thing which he would have to log in as you to read. It's only messages on the Wall that anyone who can see your profile page can read.

largeginandtonic · 08/08/2008 12:26

MKG i shout the loudest you have to move next to me, simple.

Is lunch time, what can i feed the small people?

largeginandtonic · 08/08/2008 12:27

Oh be rude am bored.

JamInMyWellies · 08/08/2008 12:27

You cant possibly tell us that and then not elaborate.

elkiedee · 08/08/2008 12:27

The talk of how much food boys eat is making me really nervous, seeing as I know I'm expecting ds2 already.

largeginandtonic · 08/08/2008 12:30

What's to say, there was lots of soft not enough hard stuff

Bet SOH has run off and never comes to stay again...

I am up early [freak emoticon]. Well last night a sick Mateo climbed in to bed with us, and I just couldn't sleep listening to his snotty snoring, so I slept on the couch at about 1am, I then woke up at 5am when dh went to work, so decided to catch up on MN while the boys are sleeping. I'm really tired and haven't felt good due to these stupid antibiotics I'm taking, so I don't know how I'll work till 9:30 tonight.

ShowOfHands · 08/08/2008 12:38

DH is the first of 4 very sporty siblings (3 boys 1 girl but the girl plays rugby for England so has a fair appetite). They were 17,14,12 and 10 respectively when I met dh. They ate and ate and ate and ate and ate and ate and ate and ate. You need to bulk buy carbs elkie. Pasta and rice by the truckload.

You were a fully paid up member of lesbianism lg&t? How nice for you. I assume it was girly nights in and romcoms, n'est pas?

And Jam I know you're alluding to strap-ons. I didn't come down the M4 on a teatray you know. They aren't willies. They're false phalluses.

MKG · 08/08/2008 12:44

Oh lord my virgin ears.

charleymouse · 08/08/2008 12:44

SoH posted on your other thread prob not much help though.

PJ can't do then as my Nanas birthday and probably will be her last. Will need to check with DH (just courtesy really) but how about 18th?

TMAM have a good weekend

LG&T expand please Twonky exdp.

Jam you are positively glowing and I for one would

Elkie DS is currently eating more than DD who is nearly 4.

MKG you can adventure over here, our house which will need steam cleaning before anyone goes near it is currently empty so you can crash there if you like. Near Sherwood Forest so lovely spot even though I say so myself. (although it is on a housing estate).

charleymouse · 08/08/2008 12:46

Oh yes have joined this thing you refer to as Facebook but do not know what to do next. How do I do it and what should I do first?

largeginandtonic · 08/08/2008 12:48

Yes that right SOH all lambrini and romcoms.

Honestly it was only a few women, had to try it. Far too many emotions involved though with girls, they cry at everything and have hormones to deal with.I have no idea how anyone copes in a long term relationship. The sex was ok though

OP posts:
Pinkjenny · 08/08/2008 12:49

I would do all of you.

Charley - can we do 8th Sept?

elkie - dh is one of two boys, and lord, those boys can eat. Although they are 6'4 and 6'5 so lots of space to fill.

LG&T - read your FB msg but can't access to reply in work. All sounds like sterling advice.

L's sleep is going well. Although she had a terrible, fidgety night last night. Not sure why, but she did a revolting poop this morning, so maybe her little tummy was off.

largeginandtonic · 08/08/2008 12:51

Hve given tham crisps for starters, healthy no?

Must go and do something else, the boy is asleep though and i have already cleaned the bathroom and done the washing. May take them to a park this afternoon but it is looking a bit black Nooooooooo

OP posts:
MKG · 08/08/2008 12:56

I have just thought of what the best thing. I'm going to find out the sex of this baby at the 20 week scan (odds are I'll go alone) and then not tell anyone. Not even dh.

Is that cruel of me?

(LG&T you are a sexual dynamo)

largeginandtonic · 08/08/2008 12:59

You have no idea MKG, no idea

Right off to make them luch!

charleymouse · 08/08/2008 13:00

Oh shoot PJ that week is the week we are being interviewed for our jobs. You know the ones we already have but we are being restructred so have to apply and be interviewed. Hoping to actually be selected for one of them but if not shortlisted will let you know as will def be able to do it then . Am filling in application form over the weekend. Not done one for years so feeling a bit anxious to be honest.

LG&T best not tell DH he thinks I have tendencies that way already. He thinks this group is a bit odd and that I stalk "WTF" the women on MN which he calls "breastfeedingnet" or "titnet". He does actually appreciate the support you ladies have given me antenatally and postnatally. He does recognise you as a support network but he thought I was a bit mental to consider coming to a meetup in Portsmouth and now thinks I have a crush on you LG&T. (obv I do but would never let on to him )

MKG go for a nap if there is time you will be knacked later.

charleymouse · 08/08/2008 13:01

MKG no too mean, you will also let slip by accident or I would if I knew.

JamInMyWellies · 08/08/2008 13:06

Good god alive how did we get from talking about divorce & no sex to lesbians & strap ons. [wink Bet no other post natal thread gets this much action.

For what its worth LG&T Archie has just had a stak pie from the butchers and a poke from the chippy cause I couldnt be arsed.

Much excitement and scariness just had a text my sis has just had a baby girl 9lb 10oz but she has been whisked away something to do with her temp.

JamInMyWellies · 08/08/2008 13:08

obviously I meant and Archie ate a steak pie.
