August 08 - they can sit, they can crawl, they can walk, and some can even sleep!

[Miamla]

hope you find me girls! the other one is completely full so i can't do a link to here!

I too was laughing at virtual sazzles she seemed v real and three dimentional to me when I met her.

I had a possibly good or bad idea, I am looking forward to hearing your views.

What if Izzy and I moved back with the ILs? That way DH doesn't get to be a living out of a suitcase martyr. He has to live in the flat, alone and look after himself.

Izzy and I get to stay around for a while while making other plans.

I get to look all mature and stuff.

or even as i am sure the virtual sazzles would be turning down gin.

ARGH

I mean that is just cruel isn't it to say there is something wrong with our child and then blame me for it.

steaky that si wrong on so many levels but I don't want to go on one.

Perhaps if he spent more time with her, more hands on and got on with it, instead of dictating what should be done, how she should be cared for he might have more of a clue. How dare he say that to you.
Ok on one side I can see how parenting can be very difficult to men (not wanting to sound sexist here) but they are just NOT tuned in like we are.
However, he seems to have this picture perfect idea of what you're baby should be like. It is wrong all babies are different. Not all babies are text book.

Don't know what else to say, apart from if It was me not only would I have told him to F off I also would have punched him in the mouth.
sorry rant over.

I just burst into tears and tried to say that all babies develop differently. Which is just a convenient excuse. So I went out. Back now; he has taken her out even though I asked him not to cos of her rash, bet it is to try to get her to nap.

I know he is just being mean because he is upset but it doesn't make it any easier to hear.

Coming home looks more and more attractive.

I don't know how you are coping tbh, it seems he is chipping away at you slowly but surely. I am concerned that if you don't have some form of depression, you soon will have if he carries on. I don't mean to sound harsh, I hope you know I am just being caring and thinking of you're best interests.

You only have to read this thread to see how all our babies are very different, some walking, talking, eating well etc...
all at different stages. It is all completely normal. You are and have done a fantastic job with dd. You should be very proud of yourself.
Everything you have done, and the routines you have been working on, and the feeds etc... IT never sounded like you had the support and encouragement that you were doing great and being a mum. Of all people you're dh should have been supportive and proud.
I It must be difficult and frustrating listening to his ideas and telling you how he thinks it should be.

sorry rant over now

Btw Marcus hasn't had a bf for nearly 2 weeks
he is having ff and he isnt sleeping through yet.

I know he is talking bollocks it is just out and out nonesense.

I love being a mum and I think I am a good one too. I don't always get things right but I'm doing my best and if one way of doing things doesn't work I try something else.

I am willing to take my share of blame for the relationship being a shambles but not to be blames for problems the baby does not have.

Arsewipe. (him not you no1)

And it doesn't really matter if she does or doesn't sleep through at the moment. I know she can so I am not worried. She feeds for about 5 mins goes back to sleep and thats it.

And in someways it was a great too. when she woke every couple of hours the other night at least I knew I could soothe her back to sleep nice and easy. Whats not to like?

Aw No1 at least you an get back into pretty bras. I am still in my very boring bfing ones.

Thinking of having a t-shirt printed....

BY THE POWER OF BREASTMILK

and wearing it whenever DH comes over.

(with thanks to Cyteen for that one)

You are a great mum steaky dont ever forget that. Even though I have never met you, I can tell.
Even though I am on the second I still struggle, guess,make mistakes, try different things.
We try our very best.

love that idea, My stepdad has t shirt printing business.

Izzy could have a matching body suit..

Grown by the power of breastmilk!

pmsl genius
do you know they would sell

Sure they would, hmm, I feel a plan coming on.....
