MSE Parents Club Part 11

thanks all. Like i said, i'm actually not hugely bothered...just more embarrassed as it's quite a small organisation (only 12 people at the moment), so everyone's going to know about it. One good thing about being on maternity leave, i suppose!

And they actually did the external candidates interviews a few weeks back, so i'll just console myself with telling myself they must've found someone perfectly qualified and amazing (it's quite a specialist role which i'm only part-qualified for, but other ppl that have been hired in the past have been trained so i didn't see it being an issue).

Oh well I think they are a waste of money Kindof! How much will it cost to fund it? Plus apparently you have to buy them yourself. It reminds me of the Jews during Hitler's reign, having to show their papers etc. Sod that. Since when did the UK have a HUGE terrorist base? Okay 7/11, and you get the odd crank trying to blow a plane up still, but you always get weirdos!

If they want me to carry an I.D card, then they can flippin' well pay for it.

Do you not think people will just think the UK are a bunch of nut jobs?

Yes I know you have to buy them yourself and I still wouldnt have a problem with it, dont USA have them and if a policeman stops you and asks for your ID and you dont have it you get arrested?

I think thats a good idea, then all the trouble makers would hopefully not be able to cause trouble

Aless - thats why I love living in Northumberland, yes my wages are !!!! IMO (I get £16,853 a year and ive worked there 12 years, starting wage was £9k, and not to big myself up but I have an important job, I deal with state pension, I calculate and award and pay the state pensions to pensioners) my friend moved to Croyden to live with her boyfriend and their baby (he runs family business down there so cant move up here) and they have a very small 2 bed house and it cost £265k, I have a nice sized 3 bedroom semi and it cost £112 (and yes its in a nice area lol)

Aww Nikkit those photos are lush, everytime E smiles I miss it with the blooming camera lol, the HV was getting loads of smiles off him yesterday lol

Well after his scream a thon yesteday he slept from 8.15pm - 1.30am, he was so wrecked, I am having a bit of a mare with him today as well, he was wrecked this morning still and kept falling asleep in my arms but woke after 5 mins and started crying, the only place I could get him to slleep was on my bed between some pillows, so I stayed with him and read, he managed half anhour on there then woke up wanting fed again

Oh god, I've been trying to settle him since pretty much 7am he is so tired but then cries so much that he then wont settle to sleep, he is currently laying in his pram asleep after me singing to him :eek: lol I hope he sleeps a while, he really needs it

I dont think he likes his moses basket anymore, I got him to sleep by singing and went to put him in it and he then started screaming again, so I lifted him back out and started singing again to calm him then put him in his pram his eyes were open but I moved the pram back and forth and he fell straight asleep, the same happened yesterday as well

I even tried him in his cot in his room and he seemed to love the squsihyness of the mattress, he happily lay there for half an hour (awake) he wont lay in his moses basket at all

My mam suggested maybe its time to put him in his room in his cot with the monitors on? what do you guys think about that?

Forgot to say yesterday the HV agreed it looks like E has a tooth coming in :eek: 75% of his gums are white and there is a deffo a tooth poking through (he's only 5 weeks!), so I need teething help tips please

Ok I am going to attempt to continue catching up while he is asleep

Has anyone registered their baby with a dentist yet?

We did the first time we went after Alice was born - I think she was about five months.

Yes, i'd put him in his cot We did with Elliot as he didn't sleep too well in our room in the moses basket. He has always loved his cot!

They won't all pop up at once, but will probably drive him mad for ages sadly. Teething gel is still a life saver for us, but at it's worst-cuddles and love helps with Elliots teething the most! We use calpol when needed, usually only at night though when he is in so much pain with it he can't sleep.

I've just been feeling majorly stressed over my nieghbours problems (still not sorted-i feel like screaming sometimes, very frustrated)

:grouphug: I was wondering how you were getting on and how the neighbour situation was. I'm sorry to hear it's still not resolved.

I'd got for it. I think Alex was about 6 weeks, maybe less when he went in to his own room. You could just try him and see how it goes.

We all got much more sleep when I put A in her cot in her own room at 7 weeks, i was a bit scared, but she started sleeping through and so did I

everytime she moved in her moses basket it creaked and woke us all up :eek:

Kindof.. DS3 had teeth at 7 weeks...he got 4 through in just over 2 weeks.. fine BUT for the fact he was 9 weeks early!! My sister was a couple of weeks early and had teeth at 6 weeks. We used anbesol liquid.. but we never really had any trouble with any of these teething.. apart from DD1 who ended up in hospital half the time!And yes, if he is happier in the cot either move it into your room or put himin his own room.. mine always slept so much better once moved out.
