Will see what I can do How long are you away for?

*hugs* Glam! I agree with Sami, a strike is in order.. Forgive me for being blunt, but is he jealous of Jack? Sounds like attention seeking and strops because you have someone else to focus your attention on now :cool:

Am going out in a min.. off to the seaside with girls from Accounts Cancelled seeing two friends yesterday cos I didn't feel good so have got to go today! Will give OH chance to sleep at least - he'll be leaving work soon, will probably pass him driving out our road

glam, I hope this isn't a naughty thing to say but I'm feeling all:mad: with your DH!

Sorry, cos he's obviously lovely or you wouldn't be with him, but sounds like he's having a funny five minutes!:D

Do you think he's lost his way a bit with not working?

Men sometimes get a lot of self-worth from having jobs and earning. Just wondered if he was a bit down or something. (trying to be compassionate instead of jumping to conclusions here!)

Sami hello! You asked how all the groups were going... Generally well, but the tuesday one will be a labour of love. Fergie can't sleep at it, cos his pram isn't allowed in the room and there are 6 bright fluorescent strip lights above him, so he was a bit thrown.

I found the ladies really nice, but my lack of arabic and head covering made me stick out a bit.

It also made me reflect how even positive comments which draw attention to race can feel a bit excluding. There was a few 'oh so lovely and pale!' type comments about fergus. It was nice to get compliments. But I felt our differences a lot .

Are you all better from your colds now at chez sami?

hello ladies! hugs for glam and i agree with sami go on strike! hope you both feel better soon. that baby mop is fantastic i just shouted OH to have a look and he is killing himself laughing!!
weezl i have found if erin isnt too keen on something then after a few mouthfuls she will give up but if its something she loves the whole plate will be polished off! last night it was haggis neeps and tatties and she loved it

well we have the people coming out to see charlie this afternoon, well soon! am a bit nervous about it all and he is tired so playing up more than ever. abi has come home from her last day at the new nursery, everyone cuddled her and it was really sad she was ok though but i think we may have tears from the bigger ones tonight. the visit to the new school went well and its such a modern school compared to the other! i think they will settle and fit right in
hope your all well and i could type lots more but dont want to bore you all xx

elle_gee

CAZ, I've been meaning to catch you for days! Thankyou so much for our fairy delivery xx

Dashing now.. catch up later xx

cazscoob

no problem elle i hope it was small and cosy enough
im all nervous!!! i dont know what they are going to do or anything??

Not having a job is making him bored and thus cranky, I think he's finding it hard to adjust to not being able to just do stuff without planning first. I think he thought it would be just like before Jack was born.
He came out with a classic last night - 'Just think, when we go visiting family you won't have to do anything for Jack coz everyone will hold him for you.'
Um, when I'm at other people's houses I havent got ten ton of washing or cleaning to do so that doesnt help!

His mum did everything for him when he was at home but since he's lived with me (for almost 9 years) he knows he has to do his share but it's not 50-50.

Earlier, he said I cant say I cook cos all I do is reheat the batch cooking! But I tried to explain that I'd done the batch cooking in the first place! He then said 'Well, I don't understand your batch cooking so can't do it'

I don't want him to cook (cos he can't) but he could hold Jack for half an hour while I do it!

After half term he is starting his teaching work experience so that will get him focused on something & out of my hair and hopefully we can get into a routine cos right now all he wants to do is eat, sleep and do weights!

cazscoob

oh i forgot to tell you the most important news!!! Erin has slept 12 hours the past 2 nights!! 8-8 so i am so happy and more awake! its all down to custard?? if i give her it before bed she sleeps but nothing else seems to work?

Sami - could you "forget" the dummies but then magically find them if things get really desperate

Glam - another one feeling :mad: at your OH. Has he always been like this or is it just since Jack arrived?? Does he just need things spelling out to him?? As the other girlies have said, go on stike. Haul you and Jack up to bed, stick the telly on, forget about making his tea and forget about the house work. Just enjoy the Mummy cuddles

ETA: we crossed posts. Sounds like you need to sit him down and point these things out.

Another idea, could you try giving him options? like do you want to put tea on or play with Jack?
