MSE Parents Club Part 12

cazscoob

thanks for all the messages and PMs i think there is too much going on here and im trying to do it all. I feel that if i got the sleeping under control then i would be able to cope a lot better. Money is tight and the kids are being horrors going out and not coming back when they should or answering back and arguing like you wouldnt believe!
OH came home after a teary text and i have spoken things through with him. Im with you Mel on the paranoid thing? i dont know why but im getting uptight and things are playing on my mind, i know its rubbish but im not in too good a place right now.
Im off to bed though and hopefullly will get a few hours. Thanks again everyone xxxxxxxx

i'd love that MFD - i get what you are saying about the 'run of the mill' type CVs as i have seen those myself when we were looking for someone to help me and then my maternity cover.

i am thinking a complete change of direction. i just cant see myself working in a different area of law to what i do now, and therefore the opportunities are limited. we have our new head of department and i'm just not happy with how things are going and how i am treated. been through all of it when i first started working.

you have my email, and i'd be grateful

(oh, i promise i didn't move my b'day either )

I honestly would have sworn it was 22nd. Happy Birthday my 21 again Aussie Chum - and belated Aussie Mummies Day for yesterday ( and Aless and Mrs Bruno and any other American / Aussie / Canadian imports we have )

Will email it in the morning. I am on an old crappy lappy which doesn't have any of my docs on it.

Have just booked a haircut whilst we are at CP :T I just can't seem to find the time or inclination at the moment.

Oh my - look at the time. Night all xxx

Weezl - the website look fantastic!!
the explanation on the home page is clear and pithy and the tips page is great, I wonder if you could link to the recipes mentioned in it?
I wouldn't follow it totally but could/would if we needed to.
OH would never eat a houmous sandwich and tbh I don't think I would either but the boys n I would and do enjoy toasted pita with houmous dip for lunch - awkward much
You should be very proud of yourself :T
eta - Also I can't eat oats and don't like porridge in any form or cooked apples lol.
Also it's not clear what the apple curd is (sorry worded poorly) like should you just eat a small pot of it like you would a yoghurt or do you put it on toast?
I'm obsessive about critiquing, I might spend the next few days compiling an email for you if thats ok?

the apple curd is for spreading on toast, sami. It's sooo nice. Just made some yesterday, actually! Also good as a dollop in porridge .

Hugs to caz and mel...

jha - isn't that thread this one?? sorry that's not overly helpful

kindof - I always got Finn weighed at his jabs, which is why we haven't been to baby clinic since he was 4 weeks old! Seeing Susan's post, it obviously depends on your surgery but you could tell at ours they scheduled all the baby appointments for the same slot (Friday afternoons) as there always are a bunch of mums going in and out of there.

Yeah I think thats what they do here, his appointment is a wed, and his 6 week one was a wed, or like susan says maybe not, I'll guess I'll just have to see lol

Thanks for the hugs guys

Red you sound like me, I hate showing I cant cope, but its just reached that point where I have nothing more to give, so I've had to admit I need help, the HV is coming thurs to talk about me and show me how to massage E to try and help his wind.

MIL always offers to take him day or night, so I might ask her to take him for a few hours on wed, my mam is having him on sat night

Aless what were you doing up so early lol

Morning all

can you all send interview vibes to OH please, he has applied for a new job with a nice wage increase so we really need him to get a interview

Well I have no plans today other than getting OH some deoderant, can you buy colief from chemist? I forgot to put my repeat prescription in till last night so it prob wont be ready till thurs and he is out of drops

Good day vibes to everybody

aless02

you can, but it's incredibly pricey, £10 for that tiny little dropper bottle:eek:
If you feel that's what his problem is though it's obviously worth it. Have you noticed a difference?

ETA: if he doesn't have it for a couple of feeds it'll be a few days before the positive effect would build back up again, so don't lose heart if you get a few bad days again.

sami, thanks, I would love that email or you can pop it on t'other thread if you like lots of people are adding their feedback/glitches/typos etc there... (I miss you BTW, whenever I pop on you're not there!)

Susan, I noticed that you said you're still in touch with Feely. Please will you send her my love

Mel, sorry to be all psychologyish again, but was thinking about the paranoia/OH/internet thingie. You know how he loses his erm 'mojo' when you're PG, do you think that might be why you fear there's other outlets for his drives?

I'm sure he isn't, but if you feel he's less loving toward you, you might wonder where all that attention is going.

I hope I'm making sense! (I'm not saying he'd cheat or look at dodgy sites, just that I can understand you fearing that if he goes distant, coupled with tiredness and PG hormones.

Anyway, big hugs, and I love you, and you are amazing! You said you felt you were letting the older ones down by being PG. Can I just say that I struggled with this a lot, but kept saying to myself that F would have K as a friend long after me and DH are gone. I think you are doing something amazing for all your boys

*Best of luck interview vibes* Hope it goes well xx

Craig is away on a course and I'm missing him loads.

Josh isn't well this morning. He's full of cold and he's been sick. He texted a friend to say he wasn't going in and the friend texted back to say he was staying home as he'd been sick! Must be a bug doing the rounds. I've caught the cold - bah!

Staying at home all day doing uni. Want to get quite a bit of my essay written.

Have a good day all xx

morning becles, still laughing about the swimming trunks

Tia I forgot to say, the days where it looks like it's soup for tea, it's not, It's cos it's sunday so they're having their big dinner at lunchtime PS you never said if the onion tarte tatin was ok? I went to bed hoping I hadn't made you have a yucky tea
