    Yeah he suffers with MH problmes himself (ex army) and has been going through a rough time of it himself lately too, he's lost 2 jobs since Ryan was born and I do wonder if there is any such thing as blokes having PND, i'm not trying to make excuses for him, was just wondering if it's exclusive to Mums.

    I think they are looking at men having a form of PND.

    Sounds like some couples counselling would be a good way to go so you can both learn how to deal with things without blowing up at each other. As Sue says, successful relationships do take work and you aren't exactly stress-free with two DS's to care for.

    Hi all..

    *hugs* to Caz, AM and anyone else who wants them :)

    Rhys and I had a lazy morning. We've been practising smiling - he almost always does it on command now, it's so cute! :D Still trying to capture it on camera though.. time delay thing on the camera always misses it.

    This afternoon I nipped out to Tesco and missed a visit from the monster-in-law.. shame! ;) Bought Rhys another tiny baby outfit on the grounds of he's still growing into everything else and we're going out and about a few times this week ;) I'm actually already looking forward to selling them on eBay to see how much I can get back for them!

    OH is about to take the bed apart so we can sort the bedroom for the builders to start work on it tomorrow.. Sooo can't wait for the work to be done and have all of my house back! I'm going to follow the Flylady thread from tomorrow to make sure I'm on top of the housework - need someone to tell me what to do or I won't do it! :o

    ETA: I got ID'ed in Tesco buying more wine and got refused cos I didn't have any ID on me. The only two times I've been asked for it in the last year are the only two times I've gone out with my little purse! Grrr.. :( I'm 25 but the guy thought I looked more like 20.. I think he was trying to flatter me but, trust me, it didn't work!

    and why did you break up? ... and has it changed or are you sat asking the same questions everytime you argue or he walks out ... i know its not my business and again im not telling you what to do but in a relationship shouldn it be equal and most important shouldnt you be happy not thinking is he gonna walk out ... this must be very hard for you but at the end of the day your kids need a happy mummy even if it is without your OH not being there x
    tis ok, i'm sot of makin it other peoples business by posting, i can take it lol
    things are so different to a year ago, oh I dunno, it's sooo hard.
    I really want it to work, he says he does too, I cant walk away.

    if there is something good then hold on to it just do it for the right reason .. maybe take back to basics and just work on you and him as a relationship rather then you all as a family coz you both love your kids its just between you two lays the problem x

    He didnt do it for about 3 or 4 days when he first done it, he always rolls from his front to his back, as soon as I put him on his tumy, it's so funny cos it looks so graceful lol
    Thnx for PM x
