Blimey Lily you must be exhausted especially with the others
Much sympathy but no useful advice - she must be waking to comfort BF though at night though she shouldn't need to feed at night now ...though as a fellow still BF I know that the easiest way to get them back to sleep at night is to BF - I do with DD2 but very very luckily she usually only wakes once before midnight then goes till morning (early though).....
DD1 was a nightmare and TBH it is only the last year or so that she finally sleeps all night in her own bed - she was a not go to bed/frequent waker/early riser - I tried everything including CC And it never worked I truly believe that some kids are good sleepers and some are not
As DD2 is mostly a dream And I am not doing anything different (other than being older and more experienced and sans H) ...hmmm maybe thats the secret

oh and that book is great (no cry solution) if only to make you believe you are not alone - I recommend it to patients...

McD
I know what you mean ds basically crap sleeper still early riser but didn't sleep through until 3! We did co sleep with him.

Then stupidly thought with dd2 we wouldn't have these issues if we were stricter so no co sleeping , and she slept through from 6 weeks. Hence smug 'experienced' parents Then we get dd2

Yeah Paddle may get him to read it , he is supportive and wouldn't force me into anything just suggestive hints of formula. I think as much to give me a rest from some of the night feeds too as i think he feels a little useless !

Basically i do know she will when ready but it's a killer when your in the middle of it

Just wanted to share this lovely thing that DD put on my Facebook:

"You are indeed a Supermum. The only reason I'd ever consider motherhood is so I
could gain the motherly super powers. In other words I could search for things
and not go crazy, find things in the house that no-one else can, and I could
pack bags using every inch of space available."

Aaah - isn't that sweet - or is she trying to bribe me for Stereophonics tickets?

Have read through some of the past week - will catch up and comment soon!!

oops sorry bloody computer as well

lilyloo · 14/08/2008 20:54

McD exactly he is looking to you to make him feel better by accepting some responsibility
Tough he made this bed unfortunately you both have to lie in it

ladylush · 14/08/2008 21:13

McD - your fault? Yeah right

Ginnny - must have been heartbreaking to hear dss talking like that

Baffy - He is the fuck up. Not you. You are too good for him. Maybe he wants you but thinks he deserves her. Personally I'm beginning to think he's right. Sorry, I am angry on your behalf. You love him.........you need us to support you whatever your take on h is. Your ds sounds so gorgeous. What's his angle on it all? I know he's young, but wondered if he ever asks questions.

ladylush · 14/08/2008 21:15

Oh and Tannee - well done on getting the tickets. You are one cool Mama

PC - thanks

ginnny · 14/08/2008 21:20

Typical MacD. They can NEVER take responsibility for what they have done then when you confront them with it they go all self pitying and poor little me.
Twats, the lot of them.

macdoodle · 14/08/2008 21:30

Is it awful that a part of me wishes he would actually bloody hang himself ...would make my life a lot easier
If it wasn't for my poor DD's

How is everyone today?
I'm feeling fed up and crap today.
Just had to take my car for the MOT, worried about the outcome.
X has been hassling me about getting the last of his stuff back and left a message on FB saying how he missed the dc. I wrote back saying you didn't seem to concerned about them the other night!
Its all the bitterness that is getting me down. I don't want to be full of hate, I'm not like that but when the hate wears off I just feel empty and sad.
Sorry - I know I'm moaning and I should look on the bright side, just can't find it at the moment!

Losing a pound is better than gaining one Dior. You are doing really really well. Don't give up!

I'm not very clued up on it, but don't you reach a plateau where you stay the same for a while? Is it to do with your body getting used to its new diet or something?
You're great - you'll get there!

lilyloo · 15/08/2008 13:40

Dior well done 16 is great work , how long has it been now ?

Gingeme agree with Dior think you need to process all these feelings to work through them. You will feel less hateful as time goes on but it's still early days.

Fingers crossed the mot isn't too bad , mine due in at the end of the month and we have no money to pay for it let alone any work that might need doing Am just hoping and praying it get's through too!

lilyloo · 15/08/2008 13:40

Oh also some good news dd slept from 7 until 12 last night her longest stretch yet

ginnny · 15/08/2008 16:47

Bloody thing failed! Exhaust was buggered. Will cost about £200
He was waiting for me outside work today. Drove me home, had a long chat. I said no chance of reconciliation, too much has happened. He asked if we can be friends and I said I'll try.
I do feel a bit better. At least there's no more fighting.
Off out with mates again tonight then another busy weekend.
Hope you all have good weekends
