BoMbay Satire

[ConfessionsOfaFlask]

The Bonus Mums (BoMs) Wine drinking thread is now resuming normal service on SP.
Take a seat on our Passive Agressive Furniture and pour yourself a nice .

Cakes and Double G&Ts are also welcome.

Yay!

Hello!! I thought I'd pop in and say hi now I'm feeling more like my normal self. Oh it's harassed by the way, and as you can probably tell from the new name I'm pregnant. I got a bfp straight after the last mc, and although mentally it's been a bit crap, I'm now 14 weeks so feeling a bit more confident about it all.

Sorry I vanished, I wasn't in a great place.

How are you all???

So pleased your back and officially congratulations

So glad to see you back.

Lovely news and good to see you are back !

Appletizer for you Pants ?

Chocolate milkshake please Gin! None of these healthy cravings for me!

Thank you for the lovely welcome back .

How are things in the wonderful world of Steps??

We're having some probs with dsd but dh is doing his best Disney dad impression at the moment

Pants - congratulations!!!

Hello everyone, still getting used to having 2 dcs, espc. since DH now back at work and mum has gone home

I'll get there though :)

Evening all. I will now attempt to update PantsandPup through the medium of amusing verse.

So where have those BOMS been found
while pantsandpupwas not around?

Dear MJ was for weeks off line
returning most half cut on wine
And since then she has oft been fraught
in fem sec, fighting voldemort.

Dear Kara had a mammoth labour
where only sci-fi chat could save her
Finally the bub arrived
By season three, episode 5.

WinterLover has been growing
Had a scan, her face all glowing
despite those hormones running wild
has still not throttled her step child.

Dearest Gin has poured the wine
and drunk it all
but that's just fine
And babyheave, that delicate flower
embarassed herself in the work shower.

The others don't oft pop in now
Which makes me sad, but anyhow
We're all still here, one way or 'nother
We're glad your back with your +1 other.

Oh baby that's made me chuckle

However said stepchild may be throttled this weekend by either me or her dad if she doesn't start behaving and stop playing everyone off against each other!!

That's OK, like any artiste I am sure I can adjust my masterpiece!

I love your verse babyheave, and thank you for reminding me of your shower incident (I take it that was the hairdryer one or has there been another?)

Congratulations Pants, I was jonesy [but no-one cares emoticon], popped back in recently but off again on hols and now I'm back again.

My step sons are growing up so have less need to rant about them. DSS1 is turning out to being a pretty decent lad and seems to feel more at home at our place than his Mum's and I am a better cook and his washing comes out clean and fresh from my machine so he calls by regularly, - I . actually . don't . mind . too . much

The younger SS - well not much change there really, he still wakes up every day with a new plan to piss me and everyone else in the household off. But now I have some locks on the internal doors and larder I am happy to fetch my two DSs ready and clear off out to leave him to his plotting.

He really just visits now to shower, get his best clean clothes, eat and hold his hand out for money, - then he's gone. [shrug]

DS1 and DS2 are just lovely . DS2 starts reception in September and , he's a summer birthday so he'll be one of the little-ies, but I had to bite the bullet and put him in for full time start, because most of his playgroup friends are going to the same school and all full-time, - didn't want him to be left behind IYSWIM, oh well can't be my baby forever Also means I'll have to get a proper job

Tres bien Babyheave, Tres bien.

Been so busy with work this week but today, I am working from home and tomorrow I am off ! Can't wait for 5 to pour myself a nice Pimms and Lemonade.

Yoshi, it's hard when the baby is entering full time school. I'm still in shock about DD moving up to the Juniors in September. She is thrilled.

Babyheave

I bow to your rhyming talent :)

It was pure class Baby Id even forgotten about your shower incident, ive now remembered it and im now [gring]ing

Im starting to stress about money now. DP will have to have an opperation at some point in the near future on his knee, resulting in him in pot for 12 weeks min. Meaning he will be out of regular work for quite some time :( that only leaves him with his self-employed business to keep us going but thats hit and miss and it will mean me driving him to venues to set things up and give him a hand. I suppose time wise its the ideal time as il be on ML and can run him around to work but still, its a stress :(

Sorry for ranting, just need an outlet as DP's phrase at the min is 'we'll survive' very helpful!!!

I'm sorry I missed you off yoshi.

Was it really that long ago that I shamed myself?

I really need to block it out of my mind now!

WL - oh no, what a worry for you!!

BH - I decided not to refer to your shower incident to further spare your blushes

Im sure it will be fine, heres hoping anyway.

I really dont know how to handle DSD this weekend, DP and I are getting sooooo fed up with her behaviour. Shes always so good, until she told her mum, grandparents and teachers she wanted to move to our house and see her mum at weekends. Since then shes getting told so much shit its really affecting her behaviour here.

Example - Mum and Step dad tell her she can be a monster here, eat what she wants, should have new toys all the time, go out every weekend and not stay in the house.... Oh and Daddy lies because he does work (news to me considering he's at home driving me up the frigging wall) oh and Im lying too as I do go to work during the week and there is nothing wrong with me (obviously her and her H have access to my effing medical records). Dont even get me started on the 10-11pm bedtime on a friday because it doesnt matter if she's tired on a saturday!! They are also telling her what they are all doing at the weekends adn that she cant go with them because she's with us.

Last weekend involved her being lovely one min and then storming off and slamming her bedroom door the next.

DP is at the end of his tether with her, he's trying to walk through the pain in his knee and I know not working is getting to him again, but he is being really patient with her. Neither of us know how to handle her at the min...

Any help/advice would be appriciated

Oh dear WL, it does sound like her Mum is saying things about you either when she's around or to her.

What to do though (other than bite your tongue hard.)

I'll have a think about some wise advice, but one has had a leeeetle too much wine tonight.

WL - that is awful, her mum is being a complete bitch

Will post a better message later but it's been a lovely weekend with DSD.. Think she's realised if she's good we do things

Off to make use of the empty house and have a soak in the bath to try to shift this migraine.

Hope everyone's enjoying the sun
