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

Naam, where are you? Hope you are ok.

Where is everyone.

Just a quick hello to all of you. Hope to catch up soon

Naam, where are you? Its not like you not to be on, I hope everything is ok. [concerned emoticon]

Helloooooooo

Nice of you to be concerned squirrel, sorry I forgot to say, I had a really busy day yesterday - today and tomorrow I'm on a first aid at work course but on Thursday, in true Arnie fashion, "I'll Be Back"

squirrel I totally agree you shouldn't pay her any more - cheeky cow for asking!! Typical BM though Really hope your DP stands up to her on this one. What a shame your dd has got back with him, hope it isn't because she daren't say no to him

tarantula sorry to hear about your troubles too. You're right, it certainly doesn't help when the skids stir things - and I think they know this only too well and take full advantage of it

We've had dsd causing trouble again at the weekend. DP and I sat her down on Friday to talk to her and he got his words totally wrong and ended up asking her what I had done to upset her when we had already decided I hadn't done anything and she was just attention-seeking!!! I was bloody furious with him, but of course I couldn't let it show in front of dsd. Then she threw a paddy at BM on Sunday night, she was kicking and punching her. I said why the hell doesn't she just give her a good thrashing and lock her in her room but instead she phoned DP and wanted him to fetch her round to our house - we'd had a few drinks though so we couldn't. That didn't go down too well and she accused DP of not caring about his dd and said DP and I were welcome to each other!!! I went scatty - how dare the bitch drag me into it??? GRRRRRR Anyway it all ended with dsd saying she was leaving home, she hates everyone, never wants to see anyone ever again etc. Yesterday, of course, she spoke to DP and apologised. We don't know when she's coming again and quite frankly atm I really don't care, I'm sick of her causing trouble between us and the way I feel right now the longer she stays away the better

~~sigh~~ kids eh??

Hope everyone's OK and not too bogged down with problems, try to keep smiling - that's what I always say to myself

I'll try to pop on tomorrow evening, if not I'll definitely be on from work on Thursday

hi everyone just roo here. am feeling a little bit down tonight - have sk's for the week and have new 10 wk old baby at home. just fine the whole thing iverwhelming sometimes - my sk's are great but my dh expects sooooo much of me in terms of entertaining them etc. i feel bad cause sometimes i cant help but resent them and dh as i feel i am comprimising my son when i have to look after sk's - he cries when i am bathing sks or having to cook dinner etc. Also sk's bm is nuts and both sk's have wee problems - don't eat, dss has learning problems, emotional difficuties etc - it just all gets too much, just want to be on my own sometimes. Am finding myself wishing the week away - feel bad about this and dont want my life to be like this you know wishing weeks and weekedns away...
sorry to be a pain just feeling sad tonight, hope your all fine - hugs to you all.

ps NAAM hope your okay sounds like a totally s£"t situation - i think your amazing dealing with what you do - hugs to you.

Thanks Roo

From what you said on the other threadI totally agree, it sounds like your DH expects far too much from you where the skids are concerned. He really should be spending some time on his own with them, and he definitely shouldn't expect you to do all of the entertaining when they visit - not just because you have a baby to look after but they are, after all, his children and therefore his responsibility

Oh sh*t!!

sd had gone loopy again, BM just phoned and DP has gone running up there like a good little boy because we can't say no to the ex-wife can we????

Looks like I'm in for a late night....

that should have said has gone loopy again

hi naam how did everything go last night? you have a lot to deal with, it sounded like one of those i just want to run away situations...have this feeling today myself actually.

It is so hard going the whole ex situation - my DP ex-wife is the same - she seems to say jump...and the answer is always how high. This wouldn't bother me except IT IS MY LIFE TOO!

Really hope your fine, sounds like you could do with a bit of support, here if you need to chat.

Hows thngs NAAM? Sounds liek you are haivng a bad time.
Dss is going back today and hes been soo good over the past few days and we ahd a great day yesterday making cakes. hope things dont blow up again with BM when dp gets round there.
roo28 think you need to put your foot down with dp and let him sort the kids out a bit more tbh.
Squirrel hows things???? Any better?

Need to go pet hunting as you may have guesse dform the name. Still 11 years is a good innings for a tarantula

Things are not good I've updated my 'bombshell' thread. Thanks for asking

Oh no tarantula!! Your poor pet, hope you get another one soon

Squirrel how are you?

Tarantula, I saw your name change and (for a second or two) my heart stopped, I thought something terrible had happened to you! Not that losing your pet isn't terrible, you have my sympathies, I didn't realise Tarantulas lived for so long (I'm more into snakes and lizards). I hope you find a really cuddly, fluffy new tarantula.

Everything is still Crapola for me ATM.

Though not as bad as it is for you Naam, all of this better not put your baby plans on hold or I will have long words for your dp and your dsd!!! Thinking of you. {hug}

Sorry things are still bad for you squirrel, {{{hugs}}}} to you too

Sorry but my baby plans are well and truly off atm, and I can't see that changing for the time being at the very least, if ever

cripes I never looked at it like that Squirrel. I've changed it now. Is this any better?

NAAM just been off to check your other thread and blimey is all I can say!!!!! do you think dp and bm are going to go through with it?

problem with my bm has been sorted she had cronic PMT and is feeling very sheepish. She is really irregular so didnt realise. All is hunky dory cept that with all the sorting out and chatting dp didnt get home till 9.30 last night so I hit the roof. He isnt in the dog house hes gone WAAAY beyond that

ARRRGGHHHH work calls (or rather screams).

I'll be back at lunch time to chat and see how ye are.

Didn't you find another one Tarantula?

Naam, please don't let dsd hold this kind of power over you, I'm sure that things will work out in the end (one way or another). Keep talking if it helps.

tarantuless (couldn't help but smile at that - sorry!!!) I'm glad you got things sorted

squirrel I do know what you mean, I can't really think straight atm. But tbh we really, really can't afford to have a baby. I know no-one ever can, obviously I don't want to go into our finances on here but honestly we really can't afford to do it. The reversal operation itself costs about £2.5k - heaven only knows where that would come from before we've even started on everything else

hey everybody. come back here and be nutty smums again. Looks like we all need a bit of cheering up so as its Easter Tuesday I thoguth I'd break out the \link{http://us.inmagine.com/168nwm/photodisc/pdos044/pdos044029.jpg\champagne and oysters} . Come along and join the fun

YAAAAAAAY!!!!

Good idea tarantuless

MMMMMMM thanks for the champagne and oysters - aren't they an aphrodisiac?? Heaven help DP tonight

btw......\link{http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk?topicid=1375&threadid=165014\this} thread made me PMSL this morning

Good old Mumsnet

Nowt wrong with that. Thing we need some \link{http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f2/Chocolate.jpg\chocolate} too mmmmmmmmm didnt get enough over Easter at all. Only ahd 2 creme eggs!!!!

yeah I saw that thread. made me PMSL too

mmmmmmmm chocolate!!

My diet has gone right out of the window this weekend!!!! I needed a drink with all the stress. Well that's my excuse anyway

You're not going to believe this but I swear I kid you not!! On Friday I went to 4 local supermarkets to buy easter eggs for dsd and my nieces and nephews - and I couldn't get any They had the huge £10 ones but when you're buying 11 eggs that's a definite no-no. DP has been at work all weekend and he said yesterday a few people at work had said they'd had the same trouble. Must be more organised next year

that doesnt surprise me NAAM at all. We got dd's in the supermarket on Friday night but they didnt have anything suitable for dss so I sent dp out sat afternoon to Woolies and they'd SOLD OUT. They'd discounted everything on Saturday morning. Typical!!!
