DD1 decided she'd rather share the big room with DS and let V have the small room. I have tried to convince her that it would be better to share with V than with a smelly almost teenage boy but she's still disagreeing.

Part of her argument is that she and DS would have a football themed room but if she had to share with V it would have to be a girly room (yuk!).

I say let her for now. She will soon change her mind when things start growing. As long as DS doesn't mind?

lol but what if he hates the 1st one that has a go? hope they don't get offended if he's happy with the other
When did he get his first tooth? Ed has a couple of bumps but as Chris got his at 11mths I'm not holding my breath!!

8 months and 1 day, with the second arriving at 9 months and 18 days...we continue to wait for tooth no 3 *rolleyes*

If he plays up for either of them then he will be made to go back to that one until he learns to behave. In MFD's victorian world kids don't get a choice over these I am afraid.

Would people really change hairdresser because the baby doesn't like them?

Glad to hear you are well:D I will get a look at the thread at some point I promise.
I'll be having you know, there'll be no girly boys in my house!!;)

Okay, but i'm asking for it to be deleted at some point. Although we mention no names, for the long term benefit if 12yo, we don't want it stuck on the net.

Hey, i'm all man. I am fairly well built, very deep voice, don't cross dress or wear makeup....just don't tell anyone i'm soft inside. My girls spoil my reputation enough

We have to have a big place and the only plus side to when the girls flee home one day, is I can sell this place, get a smaller place and be quids in. Unless Lucy wants umpteen kids

just out of curiosity, has she ever mentioned about having kids [STRIKE]of her own[/STRIKE] one day? tell me to booger of if you want:o

I think we are safe in our house for a few years. The older two boys share,but they have the biggest room so there is plenty of space. We have the middle sized room and kai has the small room. When baby arrives Kai will go temporarily in with the big ones, because baby will go straight into small room and I do night feeds in there, but once baby is pretty much sleeping through the two young'uns will share the small room. At the end of the day while they are young kids don't really use their rooms for anything except sleeping in so space won't be an issue!! Once they are about 5-6yrs we may need to have sorted something out.

eta Angela made me feel bad, for my wording!!!

Just caught up and i had loads to say but have forgot most of it.

Glam, yay for Jack rolling over, MFD, at least Banjamin has more hair than Rose. She has no hair or teeth yet!! Em, not a good time to be dealing with an explosive nappy!

MOTM, do you think Lucy will want to expand your family?I was going to say, want children of her own, but that didnt sound nice. I think its difficult when you already think your family is complete but then also take into consideration someone else's feelings. Especially when babies and strong emotions are involved. I didnt think i would even consider having anymore as OH is not the biological father of my first two. But then i also had to consider he didnt have any. If he had i think it would have been different.

Buttons, the tin of condensed soup will be fine.I quite often make pasta with the condensed chicken soup but mushroom would be fine.

There was lots else i wanted to say, sorry if i forgot anything important x

Mel - if your not fussy I might have a moses basket you could have, the hood doesnt stay up and you might want to get a new mattress but I used it for Ed for 4mths I've txt my mate to check she def doesn't want it back x

Oooh let me know if she doesn't I would be interested definitely. I do begrudge buying something that may never even get used:cool: (closest to the old rolly eyes guy...rip)

What does DS think of this proposed move? I remember when I was almost a teenager being very protecive of my space and so are my girls over their rooms. They are all girly and all like football, so best of both worlds, although i'd imagine their would be arguments over poster space and what goes where if they had to share.

With his learning disability he's not your average almost 13 year old yet - as long as he has a bed and an empty drawer for his favorite elastic band to spend the night in , he's quite happy.

It does make some sense when I think about it. At weekend nights Liv will often go up to watch whatever rubbish is on at the moment (x-factor?, Britains got talent etc) and DS would be happy with that. But with V in her room, she wouldn't be able to as V would be in bed from 6.30-7ish.

But not in the long term when Joe does turn into a proper smelly teenager - but we're hoping to have moved in a couple of years.

We have a 3 bed house, although one is treated as a wardrobe, one is a gym/office and the other is for the three of us. Toby will probably be in with us till 2+, so got a while to sort something out.

I suppose we could leave things as they are for another year - it's not a problem having V in with us - she sleeps well , and doesn't take up a lot of space. I think i'm just thinking I need to do something because the big two were in their own rooms as soon as they slept through, so well before 1.

She's dropped hints and said 'one day'. How near or far 'one day' is, I don't know. I've done the whole 'have kids, don't get married' thing before - twice! So a bit dubious about doing it again. I'm not a great believer in marriage unless i'm as sure as sure can be, especially as the last two are so the opposite of Lucy.

At their age, it's not a great issue. When they get to 8 or 9, it then could become an issue, although same sex, not such a big one.

typical...k still asleep and i'm ready to go to group. better wake up soon....

Bad mummy....i got impatient so kinda woke him up just after i posted this we went. Kian was the youngest, actually only baby rest were all toddlers. not many there but loads of toys and a few songs at the end. K's fave ( heads. shoulders etc)

And when we there sitting on floor, i let go of kian (he was sitting) and he didnt fall to the sides or backwards!! He sat on his own!!!! :j:j:j

not sure cos of the age of the rest of the children its the right group for us but i do have another 2 or 3 to try out. although for handiness its ideal!!!

MOTM- glad you have managed to sort things and DD is back at school. What you do from here is totally upto you.

my asda doesnt sell the annabel karmel range so we must not live in a posh/rich area..... :rotfl:
