Hi Bumper. Good to see you.

Bumperlicious · 28/10/2008 21:06

Trace, that's crap news about Chloe's op. You are doing such a great job, I really feel for you and your family. Hope you are all managing ok.

Jammy about DH's company. What a pile of poo! How does the stat pay match up?

Long time no see DKMA

Elvira, what's DH having done tomorrow?

Ria, crap abut DH's job. What a pile of shit for all of us!

DH and I keep arguing, the stress is really getting to us. I am really fucked off with working FT. I feel like I have no control over what goes on at home and with DD, very little free time, it's just all rubbish. I can't see an end to it.

Hi Bumper

What can I say re working ft?
I am lost for words - I truely am
Perhaps u need a time management course / book or something!

hahahahahahahahahah

JammyOLantern · 28/10/2008 21:13

It's shit when you argue isn't it Bumper. But try not to. I know how I felt today when people suggested would I have to go back to work full time - I hated the thought. I'#d hate not to see my little girl as much as I do. So you do have my sympathy, I know how hard it muct be for you.

Bumperlicious · 28/10/2008 21:14

What do you mean DKMA? Why lost for words?

Elvira I'm sulking that my name wasn't chosen for the comp so changed it back in protest

aw thanks for the thread title bumper

I feel all soppy and emotional now. Dh thinks I'm mad!

sorry about the home stresses bumper, and the fulltime thing; I know how hard it was for me when I went back to work after having DS; but he was two and at nursery so a lot different a situation.

I'm sure something will turn up sooner or later for DH, but men take it really hard; needing to be the hunter rather than the gatherer. Not a lot of use, but have some {{{{hugs}}}}

oh cross posts there.

hope DHs op goes well elvira. My dad had nasal polyps and his life was pretty miserable before he had them removed. They kept coming back as well; I think he had three or four ops in the end.

families.....especially families and businesses. can't say a lot there.

JammyOLantern · 28/10/2008 21:22

Good luck for your DH tomorrow Elvira.

Bumper, fingers crossed something will turn up for your DH very soon.

I just had an iced bun (reduced price of course )

Bumperlicious · 28/10/2008 21:24

Btw DKMA, hope you don't think I was being funny, just generally dense about what you were trying to say about FT working. It's hard to read tone over the internet

Hope everything is ok daisy.

Oooh, JBM, did I forget to say congrats! And well done for still BFing, part of me wishes I was still too. Hope all goes well this time anyway.

Sorry to keep whinging. I'm just at the end of my tether. I know it's hard for DH too, but at least it is hard for him at home, with a nice sofa, TV and computer. I have to bloody cycle half hour to work, then be nice to everyone and put up with their misogynistic comments . Poor DH, whether I am at home or at work, I am always have the worse time of it!

TBH I can't put myself in your position bumper or your possible one jammy. I am saved by not being able to earn enough money. But I expect I wouldn't like being away from the boys. I did work quite a lot when DS2 was little (DH was mid op-recovery then too) but it was a no-stress job (I worked in a mailing factory, I loved it. I did go back for a while but they had a new supervisor who was a bitch). I do sometimes think I could hand over comtrol of the house and the washing, and all the worrying about stuff to DH, but being a control freak I would end up doing it anyway. I used to like coming home to my dinner on the table. I think my inner man was trying to get out.

I am doing my best not to hassle DH and fight (mainly because if we so much as disagree over what day it is DS1 asks if we're getting divorced), but it is bloody hard, especially when I'm in my black mood where I think he should sod his professional pride and take whatever job he can get. But then he gets down and I have to bolster him up because he did the crap job thing with his Ex, and I have always said he loves his job so he should go with it.

So, hugs to you, hang in there, We are all due some slack,

and thank goodness we have secret santa and virgil to look forward to, and each other to keep us sane(ish).

RiallyEeRiaee · 28/10/2008 21:27

hope daisy hasn't had a baby while I was typing that

LackaDAISYcal · 28/10/2008 21:30

I've just had two wispas

I had to have both of them as there are too many tiny teeny bubbles which renders it rather uns.atisfying as a chocolate snack

I should go to bed as I feel knackered, but if I do I'll be up half the night.

Sputnik · 28/10/2008 21:38

Good luck for your DH tomorrow Elvira.

My DH finally managed to leave, so I'm on my own til saturday.

TALLULAHBELLE · 28/10/2008 21:39

FT works really sucks Bumper. I can't believe how much I would like to be a SAHM some days. In truth it would probably drive me crazy so I would love to be able to afford to work only 2 1/2 - 3 days. As it is, am not sure what will do once new babies arrive. Can't afford not to go back but can't afford childcare for 3 either. . Agree with what you said on last thread too about really starting to enjoy LO's now. Wish mat leave worked backwards. Would happily have escaped to work during DD's first 6 months or so but get a real kick out of her now & hate missing out on her when I'm at work.

Sputnik · 28/10/2008 21:40

I have been consoling myself with lindor balls. Reminds me of being pg!

Sputnik · 28/10/2008 21:41

How are you managing back at work Tallulah?

Bumperlicious · 28/10/2008 21:53

Absolutely T, I did not enjoy the first few months and was climbing the walls. I remember I think it was foxy saying something about enjoying DD1's company, I am I thought "enjoy their company? Sure you just tolerate them until they grow up" but now I really know what she means. Sometimes when I am bored I want to wake DD up coz she's so much fun! Most of the time anyway!

I don't like lindt. I like Lily O'Briens toffee chocolate and black pepper sensations. Do you want to eat my WW book too bumper?

Sputnik · 28/10/2008 21:57

I am supposed to be dieting too Bumper. Well done for sticking with it.

RiallyEeRiaee · 28/10/2008 22:00

DS1 needs a slap today. He and his friend told DS2 they would ring the police if he didn't stop bugging them. DS2 has a massive phobia of policemen/traffice wardens/fluorescent jackets. He has nightmares that mean I usually sleep with him part of the night. hey even got their mobiles out... Then tonight DS1 poked DS2s poorly ear to "see if it hurts", and at DMs house too. That makes me HATE being a parent.

DS2 snuggles me every night to get to sleep, which can be tedious, but he always says "love you mummy". of course I do go off him a bit when he pats hits me on the hip to wake me at 3am every night

Bumperlicious · 28/10/2008 22:02

No thanks ria, I don't have enough points left

Right, off to bed. Night all of you. Mwah!
