MSE Parents Club Part 10

Becles

Rang doctors back and no chance of any earlier appointment unless I develop new symptoms that need urgent attention

I feel more down now than I did this morning.

Charlotte and Jack ran away while I was talking to a lady on the field and vanished into thin air. I found them in the play park which is hidden behind tree's so you can't see it from the field, and there's a gate on to keep dogs out, but she'd shut Jack in with her so he couldn't come when I was calling him.

James is playing up because I don't want to go to his assembly tomorrow. He's not even doing a reading or anything in it. He'll be sat at the back with a laptop moving the powerpoint slides on. Yeah - cos it's really worth cancelling some work just to see him repeatidly pressing a button. I wish they gave more notice of assemblies and stuff, so parents could organise work and stuff so they could attend.

I'm okay, sort of. Very hard to explain. I'm sorry I'm not my usual (albiet sad) self. I don't really know who I am at the moment I'm full of energy, I'm angry, aggressive, irritable, paranoid and allsorts.

I think I know what you mean, a bit like suddenly feeling all (how I imagine) testosteroney feels if you are a bloke.

Society doesn't really like women being angry so we have fewer outlets! Grrrr feelie, let's go and play rugby together, grrrrrr!

I write long rants anti-consumerism and challenging the government's views on subsistence when I feel like that, on my diary thread on MSE

Sounds hard that you don't recognise this you, that must be a bit unsettling . I hope she can become a useful part of your mummy repertoire. I was just thinking of the way that Tara is so skillful at activating her mummy tiger self to defend DD and DGD. I know you'll be fab at doing that for Tobes

hugs for Becles.

I wanted to say to you this morning but couldn't quite word it, that I thought you said something important when you said you feel like a single parent.

The thing is that if you were, you would probably be offered more support by others to do uni, work and all that you're doing every day.

And I just wonder if C could maybe hear and respond to that. That you feel alone in all this, but no one helps because they see you as having him, but you don't feel like he's fully there for you sometimes.

I know he is a good man though and you love him, so it's not a criticism, just I wonder if he has fully seen how alone you are?

LOL - the bath is in the garage! Busy refitting the bathroom and it's just an empty room at the moment.

My Mam went back to work yesterday after her hols. Someone is sick and someone else broke her leg and will be off a long time, and the other secretary started her holiday yesterday. Mam went back to a pile of doctors letters that need typing up and an even bigger pile of responses that need attaching to patient notes. She's having to work loads of overtime to catch up and she's pretty peed off about it, so I haven't said anything to her.

Just left Rhys nappy free for a while - for the first time He laid there almost completely still, star-like, just muttering for ages, then came alive again once I put his nappy back on him. I have a child with nudity issues :rotfl:

I experienced my first poo with nappy today.... I only turned my back for a second and there it was :rotfl:all over the pram... lucky I had a blanket in the bottom

oh I forgot to say there was this annoying old woman in the changing rooms at the pool who clearly disapproved of me taking Finn swimming. She asked how old he was and when I told her she acted really shocked and said something like, "oh, I didn't know you could take them in so young! He's so little!" and then kept shooting me tut-tut looks the whole time. Uhhh, that is the point of parent & baby time in the pool?

(not sure how he liked it! good sign is he didn't cry, right? Will deffo buy some sort of wetsuit/swimsuit thing as it was too cold for him, I think. Where can I buy this? eBay? Also, can I 'dunk' him straight away or should wait a while? I'm not paying for lessons so just curious what other baby-swimmers have learned/done.)
