Nutty, I have already posted about how stressed DS1 seems to be; it's really hard during these first months to give them attention, and they have been used to getting so much of that. The adjustment is rough for everyone.

Toffy Boff, ignore them, they aren't worth it (easier said than done, I know). It is so damn hard to feel any confidence at all when you are covered in spit/ puke/ curdled unidentified splodges/ poo/ pee and when the day is a blur of mundane but apparently vital activities, like BFing, bathing, laundry, cooking for everyone, keeping your head above water, etc. The last thing you need is to be upset by thoughtless people at school. I agree that they are envious of your sex life, baby and guts.
