Hi all
Have not been able to get on here for some reason!
have been reading but forgotten lots now
Went out yesterday to the air show and it was great although we were held up so really pissed off, we left later than planned as dd1 had the squits, think from the medicine so then had 3 toilet stops on the way as we took a ptty just in case! DH's parents wanted to follow us so they arrived then DH and they were discussing route, anyway an hours journey took 4 as traffic awful, the organisation was crap and it was just a nightmare, MIL was getting out her car and kept coming to us and then to BIL and getting there kids out and then had to get them back in really quickly as traffic was moving, I off course thought that was very funny she kept coming to our car and annoying me as kept asking if dds were ok and do we need drink and food and anything, which was lovely but also annoying when we had a food and drink and makes me look like I am a crap mum not bringing stuff! Anyway, MIL got out car towards the end and ran to ours saying that the car park was closed we would have to get our tickets reimbursed and go home even though I was meeting my parents there! I said well no we will park up somewhere else and walk, she was so off with me and started going on that it was busy and hot and full and la la la la la and then I decided to call my mum and tell her we were coming and would walk in MIL had not got tickets so I had no probs them going home anyway we did all go in. Before going in Me and DH had a huge row by the car and he was really horrible, never been like that and I was not nice as his mum had annoyed me but even though we were arguing she came over and he actually told her to go away which made me have a little chuckle as he is never like that to her Found out later that he had not had a fag so was tetchy!
We walked about 30 mins to get in there and all the way MIL was trying to either take my children or SILS children or carry them, my bag anything, I know she was trying to be helpful but its bloody annoying when she wont let go of my pushchair or trying to prize dd of DH even though she was poorly and wanted to be with DH. When we got in there I took dd1 and went off to find my parents leaving DH and dd2 with his family
Anyway, day was fine in the end, spend the time with my parents, was bit peeved that his parents never made an effort to see my parents and I think my parents were a bit miffed too but MIL was just for the children no one else. We did go and spend the last bit of time with his parents and it was ok appart from the odd irrating moments. It is not because she is a MIL though she is just very irrating at times. When we came home she kept texting to make sure we were ok and text to say where they were and I text to say we were driving down our road and she text back to ask if we were home yet, I wanted to text back and say "no we were now lost in our own road" She is just very controlling and wants the kids all the time and cant not be with them. She hated having attention and think being with the kids is a distraction but it si such hard work when she is always trying to take them or do something. She was wiping DD1s mouth yesterday as I was trying to do it and if DD's hat was not on she was putting another one on her, they brought hats for them in case we would forget! Its sounds awful as she is actaully kind but I think I feel like she is always one step ahead and makes me look crap! She often says things back if you mention that your child is being a monkey like "no they are not naughty" when yesterday I was referring to DD2 being a monkey for fighting her sleep. She was gong on about DD2 being good all day which she was but MIL did not spend the time with her to know anyway!
Ok ranted now!
HM good news about Poppy, and also the babbling, Phoebe is babbling now too, dd1 said "mummy Phoebes talking" I said "what did she say" Dd1 "I dont know mummy" it was just babble so made no sense but its such a cute little voice and sometimes I have to check which one is talking as she sounds simular to DD1
Phoebe also moving backwards and sitting well now.
hayfever pants today thats for sitting in a field yesterday I think!
Well off now to check on DD's.
Sorry about the rant and sorry if you have all fallen asleep!
