How is Sykes!

[ForestFly]

Not been here for a month! Trying to live a normal life as a singleton! Wondering how the lovely people are that gave me such good advice, M2T etc... all of you!!! Where has the mums arms gone? Still gutted, but have a grip on it

Sykes, I've been thinking of you and hope that you are feeling better than you were on Friday night. Take care, Winniex

Sorry for not asking before but i hope your party was great x

It was okay - elder dd enjoyed it. Just odd h being there and not talking to him. While he didn't turn up as a pig, he did turn up in a t-shirt and batman mask. My nanny opened the door and burst out laughing. He said xxxx said it was fancy dress?

LOL Hope you have lots more subtle deflating of the ego tricks up your sleeve. Glad dd enjoyed it. My friend told me its the first of things that are the worst, first birthdays,christmas etc. So well done for being so strong and passing a hurdle. A lot of people wouldn't have had a party and curled up in a ball.

I did that later and got lots of wonderful support from mumsnet - Sobernow, in particular, was wonderful. Roll on Christmas .....

Sykes - Ok can see what you mean - I haven't stayed there for ages, and I know what you mean about some of the rooms!
Our dinner was great though - perhaps a different chef?

I used to go to the Health Club too, but took a stance and stopped once they started charging £10 a month for babies to sit in their car seats on the side of an aerobics class + £10 /month for DS1 who wasn't doing anything other than going into the creche (for an ADDITIONAL £3/ hour!) Taking the pi** I felt....! (and I went back to work anyway, so didn't really have time anymore )

I know, it's SO cheeky - we pay for dds which is insane. Loads of people got really angry but I'm afraid we still go as it's close.

You didnt, you got through it, organised it, then curled up. There's a big difference.I Know what you mean about Christmas though, i feel like a screams coming on again.
I know i dont know you but you always sound so strong, don't be to hard on yourself your doing a great job.

Sorry, me again. I'm really annoyed as my h says he can't see the girls next Saturday or the Saturday after as he's gong away. Sorry, FF, he does see them a hell of a lot more than your p. Am I being unreasonable? I just feel he's really letting them down.

That's because he IS letting them down. And you. Only keen to introduce them to the floozy as long as it doesn't actually require them to adjust their arrangements, then?
So sorry you're having to deal with blow after blow.

Hi Sykes,

I'm afraid I don't know your story and don't have time (at the momment) to read all of the thread but I just wanted to say I understand how frustrating/upsetting it is when xps let the children down.

Really feel for you on this one, if they are old enough to know that he was coming perhaps you could treat them to a little day out instead? might cheer you all up?!?

thanks for replies. Am starting to calm down ....

W*ker. Don,t be sorry it doesn't matter what they do as long as there consistent!!!!!!!9am i talking to mumsnet or him?)

Thatsam i talking to mumsnet or him!)

What, FF? Thanks for note but not sure I quite get it. You were talking to P?

Sorry my computer started messing up i keep getting this wierd virus so i wasn't concentrating. What i meant to say was don't be sorry. They should just stick to what they say. Whatever they decide on should be final. It's nice though that they can pick and choose when to be fathers! A luxury i don't have the benefit of. (Hungover in a bad mood!)

Isnt it wonderful for them how they can just choose when to be fathers-FF hit it on the button,my x does exactly the same comes to see them when he feels like but heaven forbid if i ask him take them out or come round when it doesn't suit him "A*HOLES"

sykes all I can say at the moment is hugs to you and your dd's, you really dont deserve this treatment.
hugs
xxx

I would do what whatsaname suggests and take them on an couple of enjoyable days out

BTW it is HIM that is missing out
and he will one day regret it.

Hello, elder dd's b'day tomorrow so wrapping presents. She had a good morning at her grandparents and we're off to see friends tomorrow. Also, spoke to mother-in-law who is being surprisingly (well to me) supportive - so that's good. Also H backed down on next w/end - ie, he's not going away. A good day .....
