I make them read books.. or play with toys.. or give them boxes and let them be 'creative' with their imaginations.

They can be quiet for DAYS with a ream of cheap tesco paper (£1.90ish) and a 50p roll of sellotape!!

Bens a parcel tape addict, and he goes through the recycle bin and stashes stuff in his room. He builds huge creations from toilet rolls and cereal boxes!

And with premmie babies, I agree with everything you said and I hate the antibiotics being given, how are you supposed to question the doctors???

success!! just gave Kian a bath and he only cried a little. seems to be when i try to lie him down a bit to wash his hair. so sat him straight back up and he stopped, after a while. did some splashing and he smiled- only once but a smile is good enough for me

You just do it.. they think they are Gods and need to be questioned to keep them grounded.. I was awful.. I asked why they were doing every single thing.. I also refused to allow them to check DS3 for anaemia as I knew he was fine they were just being thick saying he was pale.. erm.. so am I!! stupid people they are.

I have to say that DD has been amazing. She does question things and if she's not happy with how something is being done she either does it herself or gets another nurse or doctor. I was unsure how she'd be as she lacks confidence sometimes but she's great. I was a little shocked to find that of the 7 babies in the room she is the only Mummy there all the time. And I do know some of them can't be because of other children and things. But some of them are upstairs on the ward. On Sunday one wandered in, sat by baby for 15mins, read a mag then got up and left! She didn't even speak to him. But then I thought about it, it must be really hard to bond so felt bad for being judgemental!

pigpen are you pregnant now?

What's the age range between them all?

On the earlier discusion about knives and forks... Aimee always has a proper knife and fork now... I rarely cut her meat up for her (only when I shoe leather the chops lol)... But she'd still rather just pick it up with her fingers and eat it... I hope they don't judge me down at the school...

I was thinking of maybe a decorative cake stand? As I always see her looking at them, maybe a cupcake one? Also some microwaveable slippers, because their house is freezing?

I'm so sad:o, I have a 2 tier glass cake stand and I love it!!! I actually make scones/fairy cakes just so I can use it! If shes always looking at them and hasn't bought herself one maybe she thinks its too frivolous(sp) for her to buy? I would defo get her one!

I keep having to look to see if its Tara or Feelie now! Also Helen and Gisi's boys are quite alike!

Every group cannot be like that! The non chavs surely take their babies to groups too? Our good groups outnumber our chav groups
