MSE Parents Club Part 11

Anyone want a wide awake 10mth old? :cool: He just will not sleep! No matter what We thought all the fresh air today night work (certainly has on OH who's lying here snoring next to me!) but Rhys is just bouncing off the walls.. We thought it might be teeth (excuse for everything!) so he's had bonjela, teetha powder and Calpol at various times over the day but no effect what so ever!

Was hoping for a day out tomorrow but his constant whingy is grinding me down. Feel like I just want to get home again to get him where he's used to so hopefully he'll cave and sleep in his usual boring surroundings :cool: Maybe have a local day out on Monday if the weather's nice and he has a decent night's sleep.

Anyway... OH took me on a very scary drive earlier! Up a bloody mountain (big hill?) with measly posts way more than a car's length apart between the edge of the road and a HUGE drop off the side of said mountain :eek: I was not a happy bunny Normally I like drives like that and I do trust him and it's one he's done loads of times before, but normally they have crash barriers! :cool:

Mostly I think you're right MFD, but tonight it just feels like he really enjoys the bit of parenting where the baby's happy and smiling and not screeching or crying or overtired and just doing all the cool stuff, and I get all the !!!!!! bits or he dumps her somewhere because he doesn't want to deal with them.

Venting here means Molly doesn't see her parents arguing and that can only be a good thing.

On that note I am off to bed in a strop.

Edit: what I want is for him to be more interactive with her when she's being difficult instead of only when she's happy. Tonight he's told her off for squealing too loudly (happy squealing) and dumped her in front of a DVD because his computer slowed down and he thinks that is more important than settling her. She won't remember this when she's older, but I will and it hurts my heart that there is so often something he'd rather be doing.

I might be a little bit pished. But I know I will never put the love into an easter egg hunt that you have done. That makes you a better mummy in my eyes. I am just glad Benjamin doesn't know that :rotfl:
