I think it's the judgey pants of it all, it's the OP and her comments as the thread went on that made feel a bit Hmm

I've hidden the thread now anyway.

Sov do not engage, do not engage Grin You should go out when he see's the DCs where poss. Not good to have the tension and open conflict if DCs notice/ over hear. Can you go out when he comes by? Would it be ok, can you trust him without you there to be ok with DCs just for the next 2 weeks?

I'm super tired, so can I just apologise in advance for typos Blush

teaandcakeplease · 07/09/2010 22:34

Sorry you can't find a babysitter Patience. Hope something comes together before then and you can suddenly come Smile

gettingeasier · 07/09/2010 22:40

Only read first post tea , why was she posting that stuff anyway ?

What tea said patience

teaandcakeplease · 07/09/2010 22:50

Because she's been to someones house and obviously didn't approve of certain things and then thought she'd have a thread to talk about her dislikes on. If any of that even makes sense. LOL

I'm so tired. Things are going to come to a head with MIL on Sat. Will need some serious peace and positive vibes sent my way. Tell you more tomorrow

IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt · 07/09/2010 23:01

Tea, I think I may well have the same MIL problem at the weekend.

If you want to go to bed I will wait up for Starting if you like Grin

Patience, I am hoping for a miracle for you also for meet up

soverign21 · 08/09/2010 00:30

just poking about to see if theres any sign os starting yet Wink

startingovernow · 08/09/2010 00:40

Oh God, I'm just back, sorry for keeping you all up Grin. Date went great but not sure how I feel about it all tbh! I think he's in love already! Certainly v smitten & possibly planning our future Confused. Oh well back to college in a few wks so that will curtail my late nights.....

startingovernow · 08/09/2010 00:47

Tea, read first pg of thread & those rules are certainly not adhered to in this house! Wishful thinking more like Hmm. Saying that my eldest would certainly tick all boxes & is v polite, mannerly & always well behaved. So all in all I'm just hoping to survive next few yrs with dc's intact & me still sane & then hopefully over time they'll grow to have behaviour like my eldest Grin. Good luck on the mil front.....

Happy, also hope things go ok on mil front for you. Can't wait for update from LC hope things are going well for her.

Patience, am gutted you won't be able to make it. Will be hoping you sort something at last min

Glad you had a good date Starting, just tell him baby steps for now......wonder what it's like to go on a date, have never been on a real date Hmm
Wha you studying at college?

I agree the behaviour is not acceptable, the only thing i worry about is that when he's here during the week it's during the evening meal and i dont know how he would feel about having to cook it for them Confused he's also unpredictable about how long he spend here although the agreement is 2 hrs he turns up late and more often than not leaves early will have to give it some thought and see what i can come up with

g nite everyone Grin

startingovernow · 08/09/2010 01:08

Sov, you could try leaving the meals for dc's prepared so he only has to heat them in microwave? Does sound v hard to put up boundaries with him atm. Sadly I had this with my xh too regardless of what I tried!!

Am doing counselling degree, already did dip in psychology Hmm. Not sure if I'll ever get there but could be doing worse Grin

Waves to Startin',totally understand the too much too soon thing after last weekend put me right off tbh but i think that shows we dont need a bloke to validate our existance ,which i had a real good buzz about tbh ,think you keep in touch with yourself but enjoy what develops .
Went to tai chi and teacher saying dont search too deep inside yourself or you may never find your way back out ,oh lordy what does that mean,i just thought keep it simple try and keep the dignity and serenity theme goin,aim for well balanced thoughts and reactions to everyday situationsConfused ,also need to be more organised in the morning for a more mellow start to the day ,i think i shall make a list and see how i progress .

Patienceobtainsallthings · 08/09/2010 13:14

She also said be careful what you wish for ....i have wished for so many things over the last 10mths goodness only knowa what i will be given !

teaandcakeplease · 08/09/2010 18:21

Argh headache and mega tired. Busy day so far.

Just a fly by really to say helloooooooooooo Smile

IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt · 08/09/2010 22:09

Evening all, I am actually starting to think that I do need a bloke to validate my existence. This is a problem.

Waves to all

teaandcakeplease · 08/09/2010 22:15
Patienceobtainsallthings · 08/09/2010 22:16

No you need a bloke for other things Happy LOL!Validating your existance is not one of them .
X rated jiggy, jiggy , well thats a different matter Grin

IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt · 08/09/2010 22:24

Well yes, don't think it will be musicman but x rated jiggy jiggy is what I'm after. My mind has strangely decided that this week.

WWYD?

Patienceobtainsallthings · 08/09/2010 22:27

Have a cup of coffee and a wagon wheel !

IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt · 08/09/2010 22:30

Nice try Patience but I just don't think a wagon wheel is going to be enough this time Hmm.

Patienceobtainsallthings · 08/09/2010 22:46

Em music man has awakened the Jiggy Jiggy senses but not the right man for the job is that about it ?Away to put the kettle on myself......

IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt · 08/09/2010 22:51

Sort of, make me one will you.

I suppose he's not suitable really and probably not interested. Beware ladies, it's month 10 and I appear to have found my mojo. May need to start a new thread for the sexually frustrated (tg it's private here)

gettingeasier · 08/09/2010 23:00

Happy if you want to do something that kills all your senses go and see the film Farewell My Concubine with Chinese subtitles just short of 3 hours long

teaandcakeplease · 08/09/2010 23:00

LOL happy. I'm the least qualified to give advice here as my mojo is elsewhere and I'm not sure how I feel about sex with anyone.

However I reckon Patience, Starting et al will more than make up for my pruddyness (sp?) Grin And I look foward to reading all about it Smile

startingovernow · 08/09/2010 23:02

pmsl at way the thread is going. Agree you don't need a man to validate you existence, it's just sexual frustration. One of the bonus's of being single is that you can have sex with completely unsuitable men just for the sexual kicks of it all.........
Still think musicman might be useful to fill a gap Hmm. Pmsl laughing at pun!

Anyway, not to make any want to wring my neck with jealousy but Norm is filling the gap for me quite nicely atm..........Grin

Well one day I will endeavour to do something that you can all read about. Getting, not sure I can face that film
