MSE Parents Club Part 7

Options
This is a continuation of the Parents Club part 6 which can be found HERE. Part 6 was eventually closed due to the length of it :)

All parents are welcome, mums & dads with children of any age. We're also happy to help people who just have questions about kids, even if you don't have any yet.

This is a place of mutual support, so feel free to ask and answer whatever you want. Feel free also just to moan if that will help!

If you want to put details of your kids and their ages in your signature then this helps us keep track of all of the little ones, but this is not obligatory.

    I've got an alternating sleeping and screaming baby :( Waiting on a call from the nurses.. Four reasons on the leaflet why I shouldn't give him Calpol but I'm thinking they'll probably tell me I can :rolleyes:

    I'm hungry too. Don't know why as I've eaten the usual amount.

    Is that teething red cheeks or warm red cheeks?

    I have a non sleeping toddler with a very messy room. Guess she has to occupy herself somehow if she's not sleeping.

    Awww, poor baby. Hopefully he'll feel better soon. What time were his jabs yesterday? Hope the nurse can recommend something to help. How you feeling?

    Teething I think. He is a bit fussy and has nappy rash for the first time.

    Good job LO is asleep on me, otherwise I'd be raiding the fridge!

    Do you have any nibbles and things in reach? Hows OH? Might have a warm bath with LO later, that sometimes helps the grumps.

    Grey here. Going to coffee morning tomorrow so hopefully will be nice enough for a walk. I'm okay, just feeling a little numb.

    I want food! I'd love a big french stick filled with sliced egg, tomato and posh ham. What you having tonight? Chicken breasts and roast veg (sweet potato, carrot,, parsnip, swede and red onion) for me.
