Lilyloo, well done you thought you would fail didn't you?
LaT glad you are talking a bit. Difficult to decide when to have The Discussion, if you time it wrongly he will probably storm out/sulk/blame everyone else? But it sounds like you need your space. Does he not have a social worker?
Mixedmama, glad you mean business. Tricky situation I know. Must say I am one of those a bit jealous. DH's mum has seen Nathan twice, once in hospital when she had broken her hip, once in her nursing home on her birthday (well each time a few days in a row but you get my drift). My dad and beloved stepmum are coming tomorrow, staying until Tuesday. I would really love to have them closer. I would not necessarily use them as child minders, but just to leave him with for an afternoon to myself. But you feel undermined, that much is clear . I wish I had an easy solution for you. You in touch with Amani??? Great please tell her to come!
Bluebell/Rubysmom you are coming too right
JKS at you worrying about not getting on. If you would meet total strangers on the train with dc the same age as yours you would natter all the way
Just finished cleaning the guest room, making the bed etc. Parents arriving 9.45 already, early birds. Still a lot to do, but will be fine.
I asked Nathan's physio this afternoon to check his hip as something in the way heis sitting made me worry his hip was getting tight. She had a good feel and declared that no, all this muscles and joints move very well indeed, and thanks to the horrible stretches i do every day he has a normal range of movement in his legs, despite the stiffness that comes with cp . oh and she says his sitting balance has much improved, he is using his right hand more and he is nearly there pushing into all fours so i am a chuffed mummy
well, back to work xx
