    Jakesmummy and Bruno, it must be so hard when your little one lashes out at you. Kester the fetus is playing football with my spine today and I'm not that chuffed and he's only 35cm long :rotfl:

    If it's any consolation 'theory of mind' which is the stage where a child realises, 'hey mummy has feelings to, so if I hit her it hurts!' happens between 2 and 3 and a half for most normally developing children.

    This too shall pass ;)

    She's already responded saying she's venting by email rather than shout at him and he seems quite cheerful...!

    He usually goes to bed around 8 but not a very fixed time, we've tried to wait til he shows good signs of tiredness but he is getting better recently at going to sleep when we put him down even if not 'fully ready'. Finally. !

    Sorry, indulgent post.

    Big traffic jam outside so I looked out after the second ambulance passed by and just a little up the road, there is a bas sitting with ambulances, police, fire brigade. DH is a bus driver, who drives past the house several times a day and usually about this time.

    he still hasn't replied back but neighbour went up for a nosey and hasn't seen DH. A corsa has pulled out infront of the bus, 1 ambulance has already sped away hospitalwards. Corsa is a right off and bus is empty. Looks very bad. So I'll be a little shakey till Dh texts or calls back.

    I need to do this today as well! u know when you use quidco for car insurance will it only work if you pay the premium in full or does it work if you pay it monthly as well? I had planned to try and have enough money put away to pay in full but thats not happened:rolleyes:
    No idea, if I find out I'll let you know ... Grrrrr whenever I hit enter a power settngs window pops up and I don't know why! I assume I have a key stuck on the keyboard somewhere but I can't find it. Any ideas anyone? Oh Tia, you must be worried sick. I'm sure he is fine, but keep us posted!

    Tia can you ring the Depot? I guess DH won't know about the accident and so won't think to call you and he can't call you while driving anyway can he, try not to panic
    P.S. this is not an excuse to shop!

    Tia, I dont blame you for being worried! But if it was up the road outside the house would he have had time to call in if it was him perhaps?
    Also, if he doesnt pop in, call or text, its probably due to him being stuck in that traffic jam behind it all :)

    :grouphug: Tia - I'm sure your DH is fine and someone would have called you if there was a problem with him, but keep us updated, won't you?

    Bruno, that sounds like a good response. Husband and I can get very snappy with each other when Molly's being a handful because we have a lot of irritation simmering away and it can't be directed at her. It sounds like your OH is the same way, which I think is quite a healthy thing. But at the same time, if she's getting to the end of her tether every day and then has to deal with bedtime as well something's going to have to change to help her manage. It can't be easy for either of you :grouphug:
