SS - I hope your hubby is okay. Good news about the insurance though. Will they cover further care if he needs it (like now?)?


Angela - you big softie

It's saddened me that new Mums are scared to join us. And that we're seen as a dictatorship and fluffy! :mad::rotfl:

It is, and this time my mother's not going to offer her help...

I'm saddened by it too, TBH, and at the same time bewildered a bit at how a dictatorship can be fluffy.

I don't think I can go and read at the moment. RL is tough enough without IL getting depressing too. Why can't everybody just be happy and well and live in harmony?


Do you think I can buy my baby a pink plastic purse? That would definitely cheer me up!! And when hubby is not talking to me I can go see Lee Mack

Apparently Alex has been asleep at MILs for most of the day. Well he would wouldn't he, seeing as he kept us all awake most of the night. Thats it i'm packing his bags and he can go live there. See how they like the 1,2,3,4,5,6 am alarm calls

Hugs to SS for her poorley OH. And to MM, hope your first day wasn't too bad.

Hugs to all with ill OH's

I haven't read it -do some people think that the parent thread is a fluffy dictatorship???? On here people offer different views so you can go away and make your own decisions. There is such a mixture of people on here and you are all so supportive with whatever is going on in other's life IYSWIM. Lord knows how many questions I have had since Tegan was born and everyone offers different experiences which you then go away and try and then make your own decision. Hope this makes sense.

On Friday Holly learned how to actually jump herself on her Jumperoo and has been loving it since then! She has been jumping for about an hour now, and for the second day in a row has falled asleep mid jumps. It's like the film Speed. She has her eyes shut and her body is slumped, but she still keeps doing the odd little jump as if she can't stop he he. Better take her up for a nap now. And maybe have a [STRIKE]nap[/STRIKE] shower myself whilst I have the chance.

:j:j:j J only ever bounces when I'm not in the room :cool:

Know how u feel *yawn*

my baby has only had 12ozs of milk all day but wolfed down an apple puree!

sm - great news about tara DGD

The fluffy comment was made by Mrs T - I think it is in response to the reason why she left here because she isn't fluffy enough. I.e her original comment was very direct.

on that other thread .. i say live and let live .. were all different so different opinions if you dont want or like opinions of other dont ask theres no need for sl@gging off other people or putting a distance between it all ...

i put it as im happy to help anyone thats needs it .. and will listen to anyones opinion but at the end of the day im the parent to my children so its my decision ... but i love you all ..

glam thats what i didnt like ... people dont have to be fluffy .. being themselves is good enough for me x

That was exactly Alex yesterday. Has J had any teeth come through yet.
One of Alex's bottom ones broke through the gum about a week ago, but there looks like there are so many more just waiting to pop through. Just wish he's get them all out and over with. Its so horrible, when you just cant do anything for them.

Why does DH always assume that when Tegan is crying in the evening she is hungry?! I fed her from 6.45 -7.45 last night (like I usually do) to make sure she is well topped up for the night ahead. I then put her down and ran a lovely hot bath to help me feel better with my crappy cold knowing full well that T wouldn't need feeding. About little while later Tegan had been crying for some time DH said he was going to get some formula as she was obviously hungry... I thought I'll let him get on with it as I'll want him to look after her on his own in the future. But 10 mins later she was still crying, so I got out the bath to see what was going on and he had used my emergency carton of milk that I keep in my change bag (7oz) (rather than using the instant formula which is cheaper and he could have just made 2 oz) and was trying to force her to take it. I took her out his arms gave her a couple of pats she burped and went to sleep so I put her back in the cot and got back in my bath (it was vv hot ) A little while later she started crying again just as I was getting out the bath. Once again DH after trying to stop her crying for a few mins decided she was hungry and tried to feed her out the bottle again which was distressing her even more. Once again I felt I had to intervene and exactly the same thing happened! Burp then slept.

I then commented to DH that he had wasted my carton of 7oz when he could of just made 2oz up with formula. Suffice to say he wasn't happy with me and said that he wasn't going to be stuck with a crying baby whilst he had to make up more formula because 2oz wasn't enough. I felt really bad cause he dos so much but its like he cant cope with her crying which is when I need the most help and will be worried that when I do manage to go out he will be trying to force her to eat!!

So does anyone have any idea how I can diplomatically explain to DH that sometimes its wind, or a need to be swaddled or just because she is tired at the moment? I don't think I can do anything diplomatically! He seems to think I always go in and feed her when she cries whereas I tend not to feed her unless she is still waking up crying 3 hours later.

Oh god I feel like such a whinger! Feel free to ignore.....

My OH was the same, kept asking me to feed Erin every time she cried until I just shouted at him, 'she doesn't need feeding find some other way to settle her!' Quite often the problem was that he was busy watching tele while looking after her and not paying her enough attention
