Stressedmummy is back on line at last!!!

[stressedmummy]

Thank goodness!
We have had loads of problems connecting back up to the internet & H was having a few little tantrums about it this morning, but I am now back!
He was not as cross as he could have been regarding the wine, because I think I have got rid of most of the stain. I am now banned from drinking red wine in the lounge!

Yes, you could well be right there dinosaur!
My Mum is very self centered & is one of those people who need to be constantly told how good they are etc.
She also likes to brag about things like her family, with her friends & I guess seperation is not something she would like to have to face.
I managed to shift my days around today, so I can attend freedom training next Thursday.

Loobie, I am having a bit of trouble with my msn, for some reason!
Will try & sort it, but would still love to hear from you!

Good news about next Thursday.

How's teh weekend looking, hope you get some nice H-free time.

He is not working at all over the w/e, but I will try my best to get out of the house.
What is really hard, is that the boys adore him.
Last night when they saw him return from work, they were so excited.
This is what makes it all so much harder.

Awwww, bless them. I hope he manages to keep his temper and be nice with them at the weekend. And with you too, of course.

Agree that planning to get out and about would be advisable though.

I worry about how horrible it would be for them if we seperated.
I do realise that it would be better for them in the long run though.

Well, my parents have just nipped round, to drop off ds1 & didn't mention anything about H's behaviour last night, although my Dad felt the need to give me a hug!
I think they feel that they should keep out of it.
Been out for a walk with ds2 & thought a lot about my situation with H.
Not looking forward to him returning from work tonight.

stressedmummy I will be thinking of you and will try and get online tonight if I possibly can.

I know Blu's not here, but remember her advice and just try and let his nonsense roll over you like water off a duck's back.

Thanks dinosaur.
I will try my best not to let his behaviour bother me. (I certainly don't show him that he has upset me, anyway!)

Hiya - everything okay so far?

Hi there dinosaur!
Things are calm ATM. H is upstairs in the lounge & I am downstairs in the kitchen (town house!)
Have had a little talk with him about last nights little blow up & he say's that it was because he thought I was saying that I was not talking to him. (Which I wasn't!)
I don't really want to sit up there, like all is ok, because it is not!
I will not be spoken to in that way any more!
Nice to see you on-line at this time, dino!

Very nice to be here too!

Atm we are getting our cellar converted. When that's finished we're going to move the computer down there and finally get broadband so not only will I be able to mumsnet freely in the evenings but I can go on msn too.....Yaaayy!

Cool!
When I get my MSN sorted, I could talk to you! (If you wanted to, obviously!)
Have you removed the pc from your ds's room tonight?!

No, I am typing away while they sleep. DS2 is sound as a bell, but DS1 keeps moving and muttering to himself so I think I am disturbing him a bit.

And yes, I definitely look forward to chatting with you on msn.

Will probably be around for about anotehr 15 minutes or so. Glad you had a talk to him and put your point of view about last night.

He always has an answer for his behaviour & 9 times out of 10, it is my fault!
I am not letting anything go ATM, though!
My MSN is not playing ball ATM, but hope to get it sorted soon!

Did you manage to start a new thread in lone parents, stressedmummy? (Am being lazy, I know I could just go and look!)

No I didn't manage to do it last night & spent ages typing out my bit!
They wouldn't accept my nickname, for some reason.
Will try again!

How annoying. Were you inadvertently using your "other" name by any chance? On the rare occasions I have changed my name on here I invariably end up getting in a right old muddle with the combination of nickname and password.

Anyway, I think I'm going to turn in now. I hope the rest of the evening goes okay. See you on here tomorrow, no doubt. Swimming and library for us!

No, I was using my stressed name!
Don't know what the problem was, but very annoying!
Thanks for checking up on me, dinosaur & hope you have a fun w/e!
Nothing exciting planned here!

Do you know my "other" name, dinosaur?
I guess it is not rocket science!
I shall hopefully, be meeting you in person in November!

Hey hun hope all is well as can be i tried to CAT you but it keeps coming up cant find a user called stressedmummy?? if you CAT me maybe that will work.

Hi Loobie!
That will be because I have been using my "other" nickname this morning!
Obviously, I have changed it back now, so shouldn't have a problem!
Can't post much ATM!

Will try & post later.

I had worked out your other name, yes .

And yes, hope to meet you in November.

I guess it wasn't hard to work out, what with my slip ups & TB's birth announcement!
