MSE Parents Club Part 11

SugarSpun

OH has gone for a quick lunchtime nap because he took Molly at 4am so I could sleep uninterrupted for a bit. I got 5.5 hours in one go!!!

It does make me smile a bit though because he's going on about how she was "really difficult" keeping him awake snuggling in and moving around - and this is what she does every night, it's just that it normally doesn't affect him because she's snuggling into me and kicking me :rotfl: I wouldn't change it though, lack of sleep is not as important as spending the only time the baby will cuddle me* cuddling her back.

*wakey time is time for playing and exploring and not for boring stuff like sitting still and having cuddles. Mama has to sneak cuddles while moving Molly from one sort of entertainment to the next.

EA, I love that black and white dress - I'm glad you found something you liked. Vivians of Holloway are fabulous but rather expensive.

Oh dear MFD, really hope it works out for you. Hopefully they will realise once you've done 3mths that they can't manage without you.

It is Weezl, and also because in order to be certificated as a philosophical counsellor one must spend some time in counselling. Two birds, one stone.

I figure that at the moment I'm a bit wobbly, and if I had a chair that was a bit wobbly I'd fix myself before it catapulted the person sitting on me onto the floor. So I should do the same for myself.

:mad: OI LADY!!! Are you after my post as the wise old bird of the thread? :mad:







:T May we all be as reflective and honest as you in our times of wobbliness :T

Did you just call me an old bird? :rotfl:

I've just noticed that I started out by talking about owning a chair and ended up talking about being a chair. Clearly psychiatric intervention is not a moment too soon

Thanks hun. It is a bizarre situation which has taken it's toll on me in many ways...I spent my maternity leave writing a tender which has still not been awarded so I feel a bit 'robbed' of my time concentrating solely on my son in some ways.

I have considered walking away many times but I have 2 others whose jobs depend on me staying so it is not an easy decision.

It is a good job that I love the role, it certainly wouldn't be worth it otherwise.

Mostly I am robbed of sleep!!! The only mummy whose baby mostly sleeps through and I still struggle for more than a few hours at a time. I was wide-eyed at 2am this morning, having not managed to get any sleep at all.


Good job us mummies can cope on 4 hours a night :cool:
