r.mac you can come on here anytime and moan After all we're not "real"
Is he not happy about you being a SAHM because it's putting a lot of pressure on him to provide for you all - with the credit crunch that can be a huge mental burden for a guy I think...

pink - I haven't tried the Medela mini - no idea how powerful it is compared to the Swing so that might effect it too
I'm sure you'll get the hang of it (and well done you for managing with a baby on the other boob! I haven't even tried that yet!!)

feeling a bit sad. I love being a SAHM and wouldn't change my LO for the world. I love her so much, but it's had such a huge and negative effect on my relationship with DH. I know we need to do something about it, but not sure what. decided to take a big step and tell my mum how upset I am. I feel disloyal to DH doing it, but I have to talk to someone....

talk to DH about it, the biggest reason hubby doesn't want more babies is because it has a devestating effect on our relationship. I'm guilty of making the boys my life completely for the first 4-6months, it's hard on hubby but he knows it gets better and as long as he gentley reminds me he's still here and I pay him some attention he's ok. If it's like this for you then try to take a leaf out of MFD's book to keep hubby in on the action (not that I follow my own advice ) xxx

Don't know anything much about your relationship with OH of course r.mac, but please do as Sami says and talk to him honestly asap if possible sorry it's being so difficult, you should rant on here any time.

r.mac...

What they said It is a complete change of everything, and much harder for dad to adjust. Talk to your mum (and us!) to help get your head straight, and talk to him too

I have an escapologist here - she keeps getting out of her not-a-bumbo when I'm not looking. I might have to stick some velcro on the seat and sew some on her bum .

Edited to add - I mean the bum of her clothes, not her actual bum ... incase you were worrying :rotfl:.

Yep winters are freezing, summers are scorching! (Think it was high 40s the other week out there! :eek: but winters can get freeeeeeeezing cold ) So blankies etc would be great too! Or any knitted jumpers from aunties that you don't like I'll PM you the address - thanks all!!!!
