Joshua thinks that it's grossly unfair that he's getting to do stuff, even though Joshua does plenty of stuff without him! I think that might have something to do with this morning's tantrum.

That sounds plausible. Of course, when DS1 started on the "It's not fair" thing, he was always told that if he wanted to behave like a 3 year old then I was happy to treat him as one. If he started acting his age not his shoe size we'd find something fun for him to do. (Of course this only works once they're in 'big' shoe sizes! :rotfl:)

It's very frustrating being ignored by a 4 yr old.... grrrr....

Had to say it before I exploded.

I managed to sort my ironing pile into 'doesn't really need ironing' and 'is really too creased so must iron it!' The first pile has been taken upstairs and put away, the other pile is in the wash basket waiting to be ironed. Got a pile of Caitlyns' and Josh's clothes on the dining table which need taking upstairs and putting away. Am toying with the idea of just putting Caitlyn's clothes under the moses basket in the living room as she gets through them really fast. Or is that being lazy?

Me and DH have been together for 10 years this year, and it's our first wedding anniversary on Saturday! Hmmm wonder if he'll get me a card? He's rubbish at stuff like that. He'll probably ask his mother to get one for him - the one who once got me a set of glass dessert bowls for my birthday, and tea towels from her holiday!

Wow, I forgot how young they are when they try to take control and be all independent!
Kai was grabbing hold of the spoon at lunch and guiding it to his mouth, now he has just been drinking water out of his sippy cup himself:)

The older two are playing PS3 'nicely' upstairs at the moment....not sure how long that will last:rolleyes:

I know - they don't stay helpless little babies for long enough!
I've started to give Violet a spoon to hold, to stop her grabbing the one i'm trying to feed her with!

How do you deal with biting properly?

A firm 'No' and take them off the boob.

We did have a HV at boobie club that said you should put them on the other side but that seems wrong to me...kind of like a reward

Benjamin has been binching my nipple again this morning - we call it binching because he has no teeth so it is a cross between biting and pinching

My 'really too creased' pile sometimes turns into a 'run it through the washer and dryer again and hope it is not this creased next time' pile I am most definitely lazy :rotfl:


Whilst we are all declaring our status (or is it statusses or even stati??)

I am 32, hubby is 43. We got together 3 years and 8 months ago and we have been married for 3 years and 1 month...we are quick movers

Oh I don't think I told you, did I?

I went to get Kai weighed, when I got to the clinic there were big posters all over the doors/entrance area...saying that all services that are usually run out of that clinic are cancelled for the foreseeable future!! It has been turned into a Tamiflu centre!!! Suffice to say, I didn't manage to get him weighed...I was a bit annoyed.
To make matters worse (or maybe I am being a bit silly here, please tell me) I txt my friend when I got back and told her about it, mentioning I was a bit gutted because I have no idea when I will be able to get him weighed now.....as having no car all the other clinics are quite far away!!....well she has a car and didn't even bother to offer to give me lift to one at some point.

If that was role reversal I would straight away have told her I would take to one at a different clinic on one the days they are on, considering we are meant to be good friends....but like I say, maybe I am just being silly...dh isn't that keen on her anyway, he thinks she is lazy and selfish!!!

Afternoon all - in a bit if shock here. We were all set to go to a wedding on Saturday, and I just got a call from the brides sister to say it is off :eek: I don't know details (didn't like to ask... I'm sure she will tell me in due course when she is ready, or the grapevine will do it's job) Don't want to mention it on facebook or anywhere, as obviously it's not my place to be telling people who don't know yet, but thought I'd tell you guys, as you aren't real I feel terrible for them. Whatever the situation, it must be horrible to get this far before the wedding before having to call it off I'm feeling a bit shakey now! Time for some chocolate I think.

I used to work with a fella whose lifes ambition it was to attend a wedding where someone said I don't! I wonder if hes fulfilled that one yet or if his girlfriend did it to him like she always said she would when he mentioned it.

Re the homemade jaffa cake I remember someone once trying to make one but they couldn't work out how to set the jelly without it soaking into the sponge? I think the solution involved cling film.

I have a friend like that redmel, she's quick enough to phone me up when she can't get a babysitter or take her to the new dentist that's just opened (she doesn't know where it is apparently, even though she used to live in that area) but as soon as I mention her doing a favour for me, she's ill, too tired, working etc. I know it's lies, the push came last week when she asked me to babysit her 4month old baby, as she had to work, and didn't even pay the taxi I had to take there at 6:30AM!...


People like that tend to be me me me.

I ignore her calls now
