MSE Parents Club Part 10

Oh MDW - I was thinking of your sig this morning --- with Izzy close to walking I'm coming close to being a TFW ... not a TTFW for another year or so I expect though!

On the subject of toilet training though - my mum keeps saying about trying her on the potty... not properly toilet training as such, but starting to get her used to it. Those of you who have done that bit - what do you think? That is a whole new kettle of fish I've not even begun to think about yet.

You don't sound like a looser, you sound like me!

...and me When i say i have no one to talk to, i literally mean it. I have a couple of friends but they're still in nightclubbing phase so not much use for listening to my boring problems.

main reason is that my mum and step dad separated and mum now thinks she is a teenager again. last summer Abi invited my step dad to her birthday party so obviously i couldnt invite my mum, well she went in a major strop and was really nasty about step dad being there and her not, my mum sent me a few nasty messages and i got upset. OH took the phone and sent her a few back and then it all blew up, she told him what she thought of him and we all stopped talking. it just feels awkward when i see her and she doesnt make an effort with me at all. i invited her to the day out i had last weekend but she was too busy with her boyfriend? later found out he was working and she was away to asda?

evening all,

very tired here as LO is still waking 4+ times a night, and like glam, i do all the night wakings, 7 days a week. hubby works nights so i need to. feel like a single mum too a lot of the time.

i have got LO going to sleep on her own, albeit with me in the room. sometimes just sitting next to the cot not doing anything, other times singing or patting. it has had no effect on her self settling through the night though.

really dont know what next.

hugs to caz. you have so much on your plate hon. although i know i am not alone when we all are here for you.

Glam, I would be very tempted to put him in bed with OH when he wakes and go lay on the sofa so he had no choice but to deal with him !!!

Or do what i done when OH peeved me of yesterday morning, He lied and said he was feeding aid till the early hrs amazing since i had to feed him when he brought him into our room, so i took kids to school and then went to help my dad, He was well chuffed when i got back as Aiden had filled his nappy twice and wanted fed and had refused to settle for him lol

don't think he will be in such a rush to make out aiden had him up when he was actually up chatting on the comp!!!

CAZ i've no idea of the history of your situation i can only read between the lines but perhaps as you said get him to go to your GP usually, when you transfer you get a health check and they ask questions about general health care and any concerns. I'm one of those people that has a problem with GP's as i feel they are like revolving doors and if they could get away with not having a chair in their rooms they would:mad::mad:


I love taking the kids into bed with me and i still share with them and let them, in fact DD is in my bed now lol but only because my neighbors are out and their daughter is having a little party to herself!!!
Hugs to those i have missed replying too,

I am off to bed now -night all.

I wonder how people used to manage when there weren't these forums? I wouldn't have coped throughout my pregnancy or these first weeks of Tegan's life very well without everyone on here:beer:

tarajayne

Can you come and live near me Caz?

My Mum keeps ring about DD, I can't even bring myself to speak to her! :mad:

Sami, where do you get those cool smilies? :cool:

AF - have you tried being a mean Mummy, and not feeding her every time she wakes? (I know we were talking about this last week about her not eating much and whatnot.) I found when I stuck to my guns with Izzy she started to eat better in the day, and gave up (normally) waking in the night. She still does occasionally, but it is only once, and not every night. You feel really mean the first time, but I found with Izzy that it was easier than I expected, because I knew it was just temper rather than anything really being wrong iyswim.

I know Izzy was a bit bigger when I tried it, so that might make a difference to you, and make this not your first option, but it sounds like you need to change something and see if it makes a difference for your sake as much as hers. You will end up falling asleep at your des at this rate!
