Sorry you don't speak to your parents. Mine are long gone, not that this is a bad thing, but that's another story for another thread. I've had bad parents and partners, so i'm determined the kids will be different.

They'll come around, but as I say, fallouts with the girls upset me and them, so it's lose lose.

I'm okay if anyone else abuses me, I think it's funny, but them, it's a different story :rolleyes:

its the rule of being a parent .. anyone can say what they like about you but no one is allowed ever to say anything about your kids ... nah my parents were a good in theory bad in practise ... but im ok with that as long as i show my kids i love them each and every day ... ive not ate just so they could ... some my mother never did ... but never mind we learn dont we x

Does anyone's LO's have big canine teeth? I'm worried that by letting Keira have the dummy for so long it's messed up her teeth/roof of mouth. The way her mouth closes is the top canines go behind the lower ones, and so her teeth don't close down together, she has quite long ones though.

God I'm such an idiot, it's all my fault. I'd never noticed before.

Oh yes, I agree with that one too. I meant anyone can say anything about me, but when the kids call me something, or fall out with me, it hurts. Anyone else can call me what they like That's not an invitation btw

I think it's important that children know they are loved. We all do it differently, but we are all aiming for the same goal.

I don't go without food, it's never come to that, however I don't spend any real money on myself, preferring to save it. Their are always things needed for the girls, and they are learning to budget and save along the way.

I forgot to mention the college trip today, but i'll save it for next time, I must go to bed.

Sorry, not noticed it in mine. The teeth are meant to collide, but that will be adult teeth and i'm guessing as she has a dummy, she isn't anywhere near her milk teeth falling out, so may not be a big issue.

I wouldn't blame yourself though. I know it's rich coming from someone who blames himself when one of his as much as coughs, but you cannot blame yourself.

I'm sure someone else will have better experience of this.

No she is only 3, hoping her teeth last her until she is at least 7!

Thing is we were just at the dentist and he didn't mention it at all, but she does have an "open bite"

I do wonder if it will self correct? Or maybe I've left it too long. I think sucking the thumb does more damage but I should of taken it off her years ago.

I had braces from the age of 8 (yes 8!) until 16, had the ones you can remove in to start with, and then train tracks from 13+. I hated it, everyone made fun of me because I lisped for aggeeeeeeees because of it. I do have straight'ish teeth now, though one tooth has went back a bit. I just don't want her to have gammy teeth like I did, and I was apparently on a dummy till I was 5:rolleyes:

Mine were around 6 when they started losing theirs. Pretty sure they were all 6 or 7.

I wouldn't panic about gammy teeth just yet, especially as they will be replaced by adult teeth in the future, although I appreciate the concern is here and now. I think the point I am making is, it shouldn't be a permanent problem.

I've never used dummies, so don't know the pros and cons.

It may be best to post on the health board and ask the dentists there? I'm no expert sadly. I hope your mind is put too rest by them if you do choose to post there.
