Nutty Stepmum's Club (NSC) - Who Wants To Join Us? (Thread 2)

[Squirrel3]

Ah ha! I knew I could get it to the two thousand posts!!!!

NAAM you are the nicest person I have met in a long time. Will try to be on l8r

Anyone here?

Hello NAAM

Hello squirrel

How's your dd? Did you speak to the HV?

Sorry I was just up-dating on the other thread.

I phoned the surgery and asked if they could give a message to dd's health visitor to ask if she could visit dd and I told them my concerns but they told me that they couldn't talk to me because of patient confidentuality (sp?).

AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not going to give up, I'll have to find another way.

Anyway, how lovely to have FANC back. I am so pleased, that has made my day!

Can understand why they can't talk to you, but surely confidentiality doesn't stop them from listening? Would your dd ring herself do you think? I'm sure the HV would be much more help than her doctor

Tarantula, did you think of something you could do for dss to make him feel special? I hope its just a blip, its probably his age though, I don't know what else to suggest. At least if it is his age you know they do grow up.............eventually!

Seriously I think he will be fine, you and dp seem to be doing all of the right things and I'm sure he will come good in the end.

NAAM, I don't think dd would ring herself, it was hard enough to get her to go to the doctors in the first place, then the Dr was so unhelpful I don't think she will be able to bring herself to.

I think I have found the HV's direct line phone number, I'll phone it tomorrow and make her listen to me, she should follow up with a visit to dd, if she doesn't I'll go and 'camp out' at the surgery until I see her in person.

I think she will go and see her Squirrel, unless she's a totally unreasonable person, which I doubt. I'm sure she'll be able to help too, she must have seen people with PND lot and lots of times

How's the job going? Have you heard anything from the other one you applied for?

Hang on, \link{http://www.waynegeneralstore.com/BOOZE-GIF-MD.gif\Tarantula where are you?}

Squirrel, sorry to hear about your dd. Try again with the HV, but try to speak to her direct. I used to work for a psychiatrist and we used to have concerned relatives and neighbours phone a lot. We always listened to what they had to say, it was often helpful stuff about how the patient was, but what we couldn't do was discuss their actual treatment or what went on in the sessions. There's a difference and it sounds like it was a receptionist being a jobsworth.

NAAM, the job is going well ATM, the gobby one wasn't in work today so it was much nicer.

Funnily enough, the other job I applied for is for SureStart, somebody on the other thread recommended that I get in touch with them as they may be able to help dd. The interview is on the 23rd of this month.

Hello surfermum, how are you?

I am def going to talk to the HV one way or the other.

Please excuse my typing from nw on, I have just had a large glass and its gone to my head!

Oohh squirrel!!

Might join you and have a drink. I need it with the afternoon I've had

What ahppened NAAM?

Cor, have you gone off to pick the apples to make the cider NAAM?

I'm back

\link{http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk?topicid=7&threadid=155168&stamp=060314200910\this} is what happened

DP had just phoned me, that's why I was gone so long, sorry. Got my cider though

Its ok NAAM, I just found the thread, I don't know what to say apart from I feel so sad for you, are you absolutely sure you want dp more than you want kids? I hope you don't get upset by that remark BTW, but it seems you are struggling more and more with it.

I'm sorry its taking me so long to type cos I'm sooooooo tired and the drink has gone to my head, I didn't know you liked cider NAAM.

I'm also sorry I'm not being much help to you, I just feel a bit brain dead ATM.

P.S why haven't we got a [sorry emoticon]?

Hi
Is anyone there

Well, I am struggling and I'm not. It is getting better, believe me it really is. Yes I have my days when I'm really sad about it but they are becoming less and less, slowly but surely. Get ready to yawn at this but when we go to our football matches I think "we'd never be able to do this if we had a child" and when we just decide on the spur of the moment to bugger off out I think the same. I'm just so bloody angry with him about today, he can't see how insensitive he's been - he's just got no bloody idea. When I spoke to him just he said "just forget I said it" Yeah right - he really does think it's that simple

Oohh yes I love cider

Hello workingmum How are you?

Ok
A bit better than Saturday but need to do something about it

Squirrel you are a help just by listening

workingmum I agree - you do need to do something about it. Have you tried counselling? Have you talked to your DH about anything? Or is it beyond all that and you really think you have to leave?

Blimey, we are all having a roug time of it aren't we?
