Take a seat on our Passive Agressive Furniture and pour yourself a nice .

Cakes and Double G&Ts are also welcome.

Im good thanks Kara enjoying the sun outside before I get too big Still off work but far more relaxed now.

Pegs good god woman sounds like you've had a week of it..

Busy busy pegs.

Love the fact that you have a step cat . I hope you're not alienating him with your evil step cat owner ways.

I'm also mightily impressed that DBD hasn't been downgraded to SD after flooding the bathroom too.

My life has been positively quiet in comparison. Can I see you cat and raise you a poorly child? No? No I don't want to swap either. The trip with DD to the out of hours doc and her medicince was delightfully free!!

Vodka anyone?

Wow... everyone has been so busy! All I have done is deep clean the house.... well, get it clean enough to contemplate a deep clean and work 2 hrs on Saturday. Pegs, you want to "adopt" more cats? Can send you my neighbour's ones. The little soandsos have taken a liking to my compost. Cat shit everywhere. Ugh. Bought a water cannon and am now ready for battle!

Life here is almost blissful, since I rediscovered my saxophone (temporarily abandoned at the parents') and brought it home. Students next door have promised absolute silence if I stop playing. Don't know whether to be offended or overjoyed!

Dbs was over on Sunday, new day, new lie. But was nice to see him and he was very respectful of all rules.

Right, I'm caught up. Will be spending tomorrow watering plants and playing in the park. Hard life!

Good luck with the home birth, Kara. I tried that, didn't end well! But I was very naive!

heeelllloooooo everyone :)

Quick question for you lovely ladies with young DC's...

What pram/pushchair type thing did you go for?? Ive realised I need to start looking/thinking about getting mine.

I have the silver cross for collecting dust in my boot shopping/nice things and a jané for the dog walks. The latter is epic.

I have a Graco Vivo travel system.

I have 5 prams and pushchairs after having a slight mental attack after the birth of my child.

Best one is my graco travel system from mothercare which has a solid bar handle rather than two separate ones as its got a huge basket and you can steer easily with one hand.

Worst one is my loola for no other reason than its difficult to steer with one hand and I didn't know how important that was until I couldn't.

bloody hell !! 5!! Its a mine field trying to decide which one to get...

Id spotted the Silvercross sleepover pram as you can use it with a car seat as well... but clearly not a new one due to the dam price

There was a MNer who confessed to having 17 prams!

To be fair she'd get old, tatty ones, do them up and sell them on when she was bored with them

Grrrrrr need to rant!

DSS(10yo) has been up been playing with friends outside. He runs in crying because some girls had been kicking him on the ground and one got him in the groin.

I went out to have a word with them and one of the girls admitted she kicked him but said only because he grabbed her. Bear in mind this girl is 6yo and half his size! All of the other kids, including one of the other have backed her up and said DSS started it. She got upset and offered to apologise (which I thanked her for) and I said well then it sounds like DSS needs to apologise to you as well.

Of course DSS is sticking to his side and is adament that he did not start it and only apologised grudgingly The thing is DH saw him pushing the other kids and they were pushing him as well, play fighting. So we think this all just got out of hand. But of course he has be on the phone to his fucking mother sobbing that he has been beaten up and we made him apologise
So she of course has been ranting down at DH, saying he is a crap dad and that he shouldn't have made him apologise and she was coming to get him because she can't trust him.
So DH is really upset now because DSS's mum (the self-absorbed, fucking bitch who thinks the sun shines out of DSS's backside and he couldn't possibly do anything wrong and that everyone in the world is wrong and only she is right) is threatening to stop access to DSS and
She has demanded DH find the 6yo mum and threaten to batter her (see what kind of person she is) or she will.

ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! Seriously, the only person in needed of a fucking battering is her, the stupid cow.

I would also like to point out that if it had been DS - he would have been made to apologise and I would have found both sides of the story.
He has been involved in a couple of incidents at preschool where he has said so-and-so hit me/pushed me and I have always spoken to staff to check what he has said was true, in case it was an accident or simply untrue. And I have always impressed on him to tell someone straight away if someone is not nice to him. I certainly have never flown off the handle, even when I have seen other children push or otherwise hurt him, just dealt with it calmly.

If he had put the phone down on her she would be constantly ringing until she spoke to him again then she would have had a go at him in front of DH when he dropped DSS off.

And yes, totally agree let the kids sort themselves out as long as there is no blood

DH has gone and spoken to the little girl's mum. Fortunately she seems a level headed and nice person, unlike DH's pyscho ex Dss went with him so he could verify to her that he did what he said he was going to do.

I tell you she is a fucking nut job!

Yikes, Kara! Can't you threaten to keep her from dss until she's had her head examined/ removed stick from rear/ is taking a mellowing prescription drug....

Makes me glad dss and dsd's mother is an idle lay about who couldn't give a fig about her kids.

Oh I don't go with. I have some bloody words to say to her if I did.
DH has managed to smooth things over I think now she has had time to calm down!

She and DH have fundementally different ideas about parenting. So he is always in the wrong

evening Ladies.

Just had a nice BBQ and now relaxing (at last) in front of MN.

Still there Pegs? I had screaming miserable children tonight. I dunno, bugger off to London for two days and they take it really personally!!

Kara, she sounds delightful - Does DSS always go running to her like that?

[bugrin]

How about that ?

I'm off to get some Pimms..
