Glam & Fab Part 6 - The Summer of Discontent

[Tanee58]

Hope you all find your way onto this new one !

Im so pleased macdoodle . thats great, DD has a great mum and you have a wonderful daughter

MCD - that is wonderful - you are a great mum and should take all the credit for that.

I remember when we were going through it - it did effect all the children in some way.

My DS was happy to announce that his dad had a new home - but at school the teachers did say he was more insecure.

My DD (aged 4) said the other day 'oh i remeber when daddy lived at that other house and i did such and such with him' it broke our hearts. But it is just a part of growing up and no-one really knows what goes on behind closed doors do they?

You will be pleased to hear weather is grey here today.

That's fantastic news MacD. It just shows what a great job you are doing, for all that to happen and still she comes through it shining.
Give yourself a great big pat on the back!

MacDoodle i knew she would do well as she sounds like a lovely little girl in your posts about her.
You should take the credit for how she has handled this as kids get all sorts thrown at them through life rightly or wrongly but the way they handle it is a testament to those who are there 24/7 to deal with the aftermath.
You have done a fantastic job as has she , well done

HW and here it's .................
raining might as well live in a bloody ark can't believe the dc's going to be off for 6 weeks and the forecast not getting any better

Oh and Ginny well done to your ds too that's a big achievement if he isn't very confident

HW are you about - I think this poor woman could use your usual sensible balanced advice

Its his loss MacD - if he'd gone along he may have tried to take the credit for dd doing so well. I know how it feels coming second to the pub, its a shame your dd will find out how it feels as well.
Dior - If they say anything to you, just tell them that their son is a bully and you can quite see where he gets it from. At least you soon have 6 weeks off. Is this boy in his class next year? If so might be worth asking for him to be moved.
Xp has just phoned and asked if he can come round for a chat tonight. I was so surprised I said Yes but I don't want to chat. There's nothing to chat about. Its over - End Of. Maybe I need to spell it out for him once and for all - I'm a bit scared to though

hey ginnny - one thing I've learnt over the last 4 months is don't chat if you don't want to chat. Don't let him come round for a chat if you don't want him to. You need to be prepared and know what you want to say calmly and resolutely. Good luck.

MacD and about your H and the pub. You seem to be trying to win against two demons, the drink and the ow. But thank god you have your wonderful DD - that was an amazing report!

Dior, have you got a log of incidents against your DS? Perhaps you could start one? does his teacher know what's been going on?

Still feeling ok here. I have a busy weekend planned. Boys with H though, so I'll miss them. I am doing well on the distant and glamorous thing, so I hope something starts to happen soon. Some kind of change..

Maybe I'll switch the lights off and hide under the bed when he calls so he'll think we've gone out! Knowing my dc one of them will open the door and say "Mummy's under the bed"
I'm not sure what else there is to say, I'm so tired of having the same argument over and over. Whats the point?
Hope you have a good weekend UC - well done for keeping up the 'distant and glamourous' (D&G???) and I hope it has the desired effect soon.

LOL Ginny I get that with the phone now...im ignoring it as we have an answer machine but DS1 can resist any excuse to answer the it. At least his phone manner has improved though it used to be "eh? eh? What?" with me mouthing "pardon?" to him and he once told a client "Daddy is on the toilet" ....he now knows "Daddy isnt available but Mummy is here"

Macdoodle congrats on your DD, we have just had reports too DD1 as always has a glowing report (he hasnt had a teacher yet who hasnt loved him) DD2s report really made me laugh they had picked up so many of his funny little quirks.

Still limiting myself on here - trying to get stuff done before the term finishes!!

God my head has gone...too much domesticity really isnt good for me I have a stray the in para 1 and I have DSs not DDs. I feel like my head is full of fog at the moment roll on the end of term.

Ohh Ginny congrats to your DS on the swimming badge, please tell me if you think of something good to do with them as we have loads. Originally I put them on a jacket then when it was outgrown had to take them off again more than enough sewing for me im afraid so at the moment they are gathering dust on my desk

Hi everyone

Just checking in while I have a minute. I've also been a domestic godess trying to get everything done before dd finishes for the holidays (today)

I've not had time to read all the posts yet but I hope everyone is ok.

Have a lovely weekend xx

WW sew them onto a special towel, one that he uses for swimming.

Well done to DS Ginnny (I'm reading the posts backwards, can you tell ) I have only just realised there are three 'n's' in Ginnny, I thought I was seeing things!

MacD, thats a brilliant report, how proud you must be, and see, you did that all by yourself! thats all credit to you!

Ginnny, don't hide, ring him and tell him you don't want to speak to him, that you feel there is nothing left to say. It's time to take back control!

Nice to see you TFM - I wanted to be ginny but the name was taken, since I've never come across a ginny on here I thought it would be OK to steal her name (whoever she is).
LOl WW - My head is in a fog too. I'm fed up with all the tooing and froing at the school. I've had a school play yesterday, sponsored walk, tea party and the school disco tonight. My head is full of dates and times and things to remember about the holiday. Next week we have 2 church services and a coffee morning. I fear I will explode before y Tuesday.
At least the weekend should be fairly quiet (as long as I don't see HIM!).
