    We ended up having a very serious talk about drugs and alcoholism :o

    Sorry to ask such a personal question, but do you have worries about your kids developing alcoholism? It is something I fear.

    Oh god yes, very much so. The debate is still on with regards to wether alcoholism is genetic.

    The older 2 have grown up in an environment, where their views on alcohol have been skewed. They have seen my reaction and fear to alcohol and their dads uncontrollable thirst for it.

    I have started to have the odd glass of wine at home during the weekend and the kids were very startled to say the least. I think they thought I was going to be like their dad.

    Im now trying to counteract the damage that has been done, but I feel they are at such a disadvantage because they have never had a normal undertanding of drinking.

    AF - did you get an answer about travel cot? The one you linked to looked a bit flimsy, would LO be able to get out, and is that a problem? Sleeping in a set place might be an idea, as long as it is safe if she gets out.

    Once your baby starts pushing up onto those little arms, it won’t be long before they’re rolling over onto their back
