Oooh i have a perfect excuse to wriggle out of the Brat basbysitting here... I've just had a text "hi thanks for getting Brat tomorrow really appreciate it, i can take DS on Fri if you're free?"

Well... we're not free, we have Beavers. And i don't really want to mention Beavers in case she joins him up (:eek:).

Can anyone tell me how to word it so i'm basically saying i can't do it, don't want to be tied into it every week... Without being arsey and still keeping things friendly?! Or is it not possible?

thanks but we have something on that evening. I'm sorry but I won't be able to have brat again for a while now, we just have too much going on.

If she has the cheek to ask what that is then she is an even bigger bint than we already think but could you say the dog needs taking somewhere and its too much to take her brat along too or that you're looking after your sisters brats instead ??

When you say lactulose is foul do you mean the effects or that you had trouble getting F to take it? I'm trying prunes in pear juice whizzed up at the mo but he barely eats any (and I don't blame him it tastes gross)

Both! I find it shudderingly foul myself and it makes me feel a bit sick, and I think from his reaction that fergie did too!

But I also mean the effects. Like it gives you a sudden crampy sensation, bad wind and then stingy acidy runny poo, which really hurt fergie's (torn) bottom

Id tell her they are fighting all the time and it's too stressful, Beenie. They need a break from each other and not just a few weeks. Or I'd be really sarky and say that someone else has asked you to provide free childcare and their kid is much nicer.

Weezl, don't worry about SALT, in my experience they won't even look at a child under 3 because it's not a problem till then. Lots of children talk later. I think you are clever enough to know that you are speaking to him enough bla bla bla (which is what I was lectured about, 'oh do you let him watch tv all day?' yeah totally cos I lock him in a cot and let him stare at tv and never speak to him at all, you idiot) read books and talk about the pictures. And SALT's don't appreciate HV sending children off to see them with supposed speech problems, they much prefer nurseries to send them because they actually spend soem time with the child.

Speaking of nursery, that was one thing that REALLY helped Chris. Going to nursery and seeing children his age speaking, so if you were worried, I'd look down that road rather than SALT.

Just seen an ad for http://www.jabula-restaurant.co.uk/ have you been? it's near cheshire oaks

I've heard of it, but not been. I think they're constantly advertising on the radio. Why, are you going?

thanks guys.

3 I think if at his 1 year check he had mama, dada and det-down she'd have been ok, but his one year check he had no words at all and no measurable comprehension.

He now at 15 months has daddy and yeah, but not used in the right way. ie normal would be that he's say 'daddy' to DH, but if not then at the very least to all blokes. But not at nothing/an envelope.

Apparently this is abnormal.

So anyway, I have been sad about it and didn't really know how to come on and talk to you all because of it.:o

So there it is.

Perhaps I'll ask to be referred privately to SALT and then I'll know? That'd be better than not knowing what to feel.

MFD re your HV chat FWIW Benjamin has significantly more words than I think is usual, he is in the top 20% according to most of the info, so very well done to you :T:T:T:T

hello tia how's the loft?

Ah ok, not salt then for a bit.... OK

I like the idea of nursery but I'm worried the welsh will be a set back cos he'll get confused!

Another thing Weezl, my cousin was classed as "special needs" when young and didnt attend "proper" school til he was 7 because he was at a special school for children with learning difficulties, he is now 17, achieved 12 A-C GCSE's last year and is now doing his A levels, you honestly wouldnt know he was ever classed as not normal

Weezl We have 'yeah' too now, but it's often said with a 'no' shaking head! :rotfl:

I think he understands 'can you clap?' and 'can you wave?' because he does those whenever we say it. But everything else seems a bit flukey really, like he's just guessing until he gets the response that shows he's got it right (us smiling, clapping, saying 'good boy!')

Isn't that how he learns though?
