HUSBANDS!

That reminds me Natty, email me your address to [email protected] so I can send those nappies. They include 2 stuffable AIOs (if you don't want the normal ones let me know)

TheNatty · 02/04/2009 18:56

will do just putting the darling children to bed!
i will use two parters some of the time as i have MEOS in my drawer, but DH wont touch them so can only use them at night etc when he isnt involved.

I give up.

Easter Bonnets made. Check.

Jamie Olivers Pot Roast Meatloaf cooked, from scratch, with brocolli. Check.

Children refused to eat. Check.

Children shouted at. Check.

DDs in bath with pot of Sudecream. Check.

Spend rest of night cleaning. Check.

Foxy, you are truly supermum

Ohforfoxsake · 02/04/2009 19:05

By shouting at my sick boy, or not paying sufficient attention to girls in bath so they are covered in goo?

Don't feel much like Super mum.

Natty's plan was far, far better.

TheNatty · 02/04/2009 19:34

aw foxy you TRIED thats the point.
come and rant here when u finish cleaning!

LackaDAISYcal · 02/04/2009 19:40

There's something in the water tonight. I have just had the mother and father of all meltdowns at my DS1. He just won't fucking listen and is gobby and answers back and is mean to his sister (he got a dinosaur grabber thing on a magazine and was dragging her round the room by her ears ).

Well, after four hours of fecking shite from him and all sorts of nonsense from DD (including trying to play with the cooker and dabbling in the knife drawer) I finally lost it and have screamed and screamed and jumped up and down in frustration and then walked out of the house, leaving my poor, on the verge of tears, DH to deal with them all for a bit. My children are traumatised for life, DH hates me and you know what I couldn;t give a fucking toss.

I am fucking done parenting, I really am.

I can't do two full weeks of this crap on my own. DH doesn't even get the bank holiday weekend ...well he can but has to take it as holiday so wont or will have none left for later as they hold back a week in the first year or some such shite.

sorry for the rant. I'm a cow bitch mum from hell

Awww Daisy Foxy. Sending sympathy -tis all I can do.

Ohforfoxsake · 02/04/2009 19:56

Thanks Tallulah

Daisy's was far shitter than mine. And the meatloaf is really, really nice.

TheNatty · 02/04/2009 19:57

oh daisy i am so sorry u had such a shit evening, we have all had nights like this im sure.

(i know im being VERY un MN like today eh )

Riallytoofattoflounce · 02/04/2009 19:57

dasisy & foxy. virtual gin and tonics needed I feel. Our off days would be so much easier to deal with if we didn't get the guilt thing.

LackaDAISYcal · 02/04/2009 19:59

Is it gluten free, chick? I'll have some
sorry didn't mean to enter into a shite day competition

I'm just shite at dealing with crap days at the minute with illness and tiredness and operations etc.

you still win the alpha mummy award foxy

LackaDAISYcal · 02/04/2009 20:02

haha....I've already had a VERY large real deal Ria

and I'm going to have another, even though DH is looking at me in a disapproving manner. I have reminded him that I kept my side of the bargain and stopped tanking red wine every night, but HE is still smoking at least five cigars a day and that a few heavy G'n'Ts after a bad day does not make me a fecking alkie.

Riallytoofattoflounce · 02/04/2009 20:02

if it's any consolation at all (probably not) DS2 asked what the "blue stuff" was at tea time (red cabbage with red onions - and only on my plate to avoid confrontation). I love the faith my children (and DH if I think about it) have in my cooking.

I don't think I've ever had meatloaf. If you enjoyed it though foxy, that's the main thing

FrazzledFairyFay · 02/04/2009 20:04

for Daisy and Foxy. You are both great Mums. We are all allowed melt-downs, it does not make us bad Mummys

for your news Natty

Tallulah, they are gorgeous, and, yet again, I can't believe where the time's gone.

I can't believe that my 'baby' ill be 2 in June

Riallytoofattoflounce · 02/04/2009 20:06

I don't drink spirits. I will have to learn by the time I'm an old lady. I am "dry", supposedly for 2 weeks on this diet, then I get to have a glass of wine every day. Don't know if I'll manage 2 weeks TBH, not that it's been a problem this week as too skint. I suppose if I have a good weight loss to get me started it's worth it

Riallytoofattoflounce · 02/04/2009 20:08

phew, was outbid. Now please keep your fingers crossed that I win the next one

TheNatty · 02/04/2009 20:15

what were u bidding on ria?

Ohforfoxsake · 02/04/2009 20:16

LOL Ria, what was it you were bidding on?

half an apple and berry crumble from Waitrose is easing my pain.

I wish I had some answers for you Daisy, especially with DS1.

LackaDAISYcal · 02/04/2009 20:24

oooh, I have a favour to ask....does anyone have a Sainsbury's nearby that sells clothes? DD fell in love with a red and white spotty coat in there (a fleece lined kagoul type thing) and we bought one in Age 2-3. When we got it home it was down to her knees and obv waaaay too big. so, we took it back to get changed, but there aren't any left and they couldn't say when they would come in again, if at all. I've tried all the local shops round here and no-one has it at all.

sooo, if anyone has seen/sees this coat, in an age 1.5-2, I would be ever so, ever so grateful as DD really loved it

I need to go tomorrow morning after the school run, so I will look.

LackaDAISYcal · 02/04/2009 20:27

Oh, and foxy.......can you help one of my November buddies HERE. I thought you might have some words of advice/encouragement re being pressured to give formula top ups

Daisy, hope you're feeling a bit better. You've had so much to deal with recently, take care of yourself.
