weezl- could you ask your lovely DH... when should i take K to the dentist. mine mentioned something but didnt say how many teeth they should have etc

DH says that when he was in practice he was happy to see children from very young (6 months ish) because then the sitting on the chair, lights, noises etc have a chance to become familiar and normal rather than scary and different and only for when you're in pain. HTH

NMS asda sell delamere milk, and you can make a soft cheese out of it very easily using lemon juice. Let me know if a recipe would be helpful at all

not usre though.... those who have had babies close together, was it easy with things like toilet training etc when you had toddler and small baby?? or was it easier to have say a year or so between them so they were both babies?

although how i'd fit a bigger buggy through the front door is a bigger problem. prob have to use the back doors

Katie is 26 months and Christopher is almost 6 months. This week has been our week for potty training. I havent found ti too difficult except for when i had to go out! :cool: Last night doing the shopping, half way round Tesco, Katie decided she needed a wee. If OH hadnt been there I would have had to push 1/2 full trolley with food Katie and Christopher from middle of Tesco to the front of the store to get her to the toilet. However, because OH was there, i just needed to lift Katie out the trolley and make a mad dash to the toilet. (We made it btw, even if mummy was out of breath! )njx blv
Katie is at the age that she understand that mummy cant play if she is feeding christopher etc but she is still young enough to want a cuddle at regular intervals in the day etc. so i quite like the gap between mine!

dunno if that answered ur question any, i kinda went on my own wee tangent there......

:hello: Morning lovely mummies and daddies!

Just wanted to let you know that my freebie Vertbaudet order came today! It's a v nice stripy cardi- not sure I'd have paid £12 for it (but I'm quite mean) but it is lovely for free! SS- there is hope for you yet.

Sounds like poorly bubbas are on the mend, which is good to hear. Long may it continue.

Weezl- what an eloquent letter! I hope the council act on it as that sounds like a nightmare. Is the alarm adding to your insomnia? And you are very restrained not to mention that you are seven months pregnant. I used it in all my complaints!

Not sure what we're doing today- it's a gorgeous day though so we'll probably pop Henry in the pushchair and head out.

Hi all, hope everyone is well, I dont come on much as at the moment I dont feel I have anything to contribute but I know some of you worry about me and like to know I'm ok, had a few revelations lately, I posted this on my other thread but thought I'd post here too incase you miss it.

Hi all, thought I would give a little update.
Basically we are doing a planned move into a refuge next week.
I've finally come to the realisation that I need to go to refuge and get their support in this.
Me and the ex had contact and he started the old games again, and then when I tried to break contact he broke into my house (whilst I was not there as we still living at my mums) stole my TV, then slashed the carpets and curtains in the living room, and worst of all slashed my sons bedroom carpet.
I think I have just been deluded and trying to desperately to stay at home that I've not taken on board what everone was telling me.
It is now in the court arena and we all have to have assessments etc but SS said as long as I go to refuge, take all the help and show them that I'm protecting my children from the emotional abuse they would of been suffering then I will be fine.

I came accross THIS site a few days ago which was a proper realisation that the situation we were in was bloody awful, ok so he didnt hit me all the time or didnt hit the children but he was extremely controlling, verbally and emotionally abusive to me and my son (not his) and until reading through that site I didnt realise just how much all of it can affect the children.

I spoke to the DV team who have been helping me and they said it's such a good thing I've realised this now befroe we go to refuge as It will make things alot easier to deal with.

I just feel so stupid for trying to battle SS and saying they were overreacting when really they weren't, this is a textbook case of abuse, the cycle, the behaviours right from the beggining, everything!

Now I'm looking forward to moving on and starting my new life with my precious boys, I'm breaking the cycle, for them, I grew up in an abusive househould, infact my ex is so similar to my father it's quite scary, I need to stop this cycle now before my sons become abused or even abusers themselves, I want to teach them to respect women and infact everyone.

SS are going to arrange for me to have councelling, self esteem and parenting courses and I'm going to embrace it all, this is my chance to make a difference and I'm going to try my hardest at it.

Claire, forgot to say Henry is still having fun with the box that the buggy board came in, so far its been a boat/car/train/bath/bed/aeroplane/ chicken coop (dont ask!!):j:rotfl: and they have all been either green or yellow!!

They always say boxes are the best toys for kids!!

Oh and Ryry has another tooth and has taken a few more steps!
Aston's behaviour has calmed right down but I think me being calmer has helped
