    She just wants him to be here because he doesn't see them enough... not through want of my trying I will add!!! They are too little to understand 'in 3 days' and 'tomorrow' means any point in the future.. how are yours coping?

    Mine all seem to have had their relevant meltdowns and got them out of their system we just need some work onthe bedtime routine because they are thinking they cando as they please.. but the overall behaviour has improved hugely and DD2 has even been... laughing.. we hadn't heard her laugh probably since christmas now she is constantly giggling away.. it is lovely to see the positive changes in the children. oh, and considering ti was me that was supposedly the 'messy one' the house is much tidier on the whole!!

    I know it is a tough time for both pigpen and mumofjust2 and your kids after your breaks ups. Difficult for you to explain when you're not responsible for your ex's behaviour and they think they can swan in and out when they choose.

    Hugs to both of you and you sound like you are coping well under these extreme circumstances because that is what we do!

    Morning lovelies - just a quick question. The curtains I found the other day that will fit little bedroom window says dry clean only. They are made out of polyester and cotton, but feel like they have some sort of coating on iyswim. Do you think it would be ok to wash them (don't really want to have to pay to get them cleaned) or will they be ruined? Any advice would be most appreciated x
