MSE Parents Club Part 7

skintchick

WE did the bath cos she woke up. But then she cried. I got her to sleep on me after she refused a feed (fed her before bath as she was crying) and waited 20 mins, then put her slowly on bed beside me. She woke up. Fed her to sleep over 10 mins. Got slowly off bed. went toloo. She woke up.



Called Oh up to do his turn for a bl00dy change. She is now howling upstairs and he is walking around. How he thinks that will get her to sleep ON THE BED I don't know.

We haven;t eaten. I want to cry. I am sick of doing everything. He does nothing any more, no nappies, no putting her to bed, no nothing. I have to beg him to play with her.

I know he works but I am fed up. I can;t keep doing this. I cannot cope if I don;t at least get a couple of hours in the vening when I can be without her. I'm starving.

Why the bl00dy hell wont she just go to sleep and stay asleep? She used to. It's not like she sleeps for reasonable periods overnight. I'm a wreck. I can;t go on like this.

Someone please give me wise words and hugs. Cos I am beginning to feel like I don;t want my baby any more. I can;t do this any more, not like this.

3, I said "I wish it could be me", but it won't be

I'm still gutted about having a C-section.

Woah!!! Hang on Skinty! You posted earlier that she was doing better and that she now has a cold. If she is poorly she is bound to be distressed, she doesn't know what is going on, just that she feels pap.

I know it is tough hun, I have had a mare of a day too - but believe me things will get better and you will miss your little helpless babe.

It's easy to let things get on top of us. Leave hubby to it and get yourself something to eat - and a glass of wine by the sounds of it.

((HUGS))

aw skinty - MASSIVE HUGS :grouphug:

sounds like u just need some timeout - could u ask OH to have her for a few hours on the weekend?
do u express so OH can do some feeds?
my OH has changed 1 nappy, I do 95% of feeds & all the night stuff but OH has had Jack for a few hours today to give me a break - my choice to gut the living room but it was a relief to just know OH had him for a bit.

skinty stop posting here and get some toast or something equally fast down your neck
IME men are hopeless for the 1st 4-6mths so I'm no help there
Any chance she'll take a bottle? if she will I'd be tempted to leave EBM/formula with OH and run off for an hour or 2, maybe just have a nap on the backseat of the car

aww don't be gutted, She's here and she's healthy and so are you. It doesn't matter how she arrived but if you need to talk about it with us or a professional do xx

Oh and Skinty - whilst you are feeling like this I would give the real nappies a miss - do you really need any more stress? It may be starting with those that has set you back a bit.

My opinion only, I know some of you mums swear by them, personally I think being a mummy is tough enough without me making it harder for myself.

It is a soft weaning spoon, which I deftly turn in her mouth so that the powder gets put on her tongue.

brilliant idea! LO actually opens her mouth for the powders to be tipped into her mouth - so cute!

Hope I'm not being horrid and insensitive

no you aren't. I would be tempted to speak to the school about this. If they can't se eyour point of view, could you remove him from any of the services - schedule a dental appointment or something?

Are there any good books to help children understand and deal with death????

Tonight whilst she was eating her tea she suddenly asked to speak to one of her aunties, pointing at the phone and everything. I said once you've eaten your tea (hoping she'd forget) no chance as soon as she was out of her seat she brought me the phone!
