Does anyone know where I could buy a Mei tai style sling (cheap)...is it Joey and ellaroo that are the same thing? I can only seem to find them for around the £50-£60 mark!!!

that's about what they cost new, you might bag a bargain 2nd hand on ebay though, have you used one before?
are you sure you would get use from it? (maybe if 3 still has hers you could have a go, possibly borrow if she doesn't use it as much now?)

MF - It did upset me at first but now he only seems to cry if it's a Monday or if he's tired. Usually he just laughs and waves me off, the first time he cried the girls told me that he stopped as soon as I left so now I don't fuss over him if he cries. I just kiss him and tell him I'll see him later. I figure he' just trying it on! This morning I heard him stop crying as soon as I got to the front door!

I'm actually enjoying him being there, I know it sounds awful but I've got so much more patience with him now, probably because I've not had to listen to him whinging all day Also, like Sami said it must be boring being at home with Mummy all day! Playing with his little friends and having 50 million various things to play with is way more fun!

Not sure how much use I would get from it tbh! I am keeping a lookout on eBay:)
I have never used one before, but am thinking of a sling to use around the house, as much as anything else....I do have the bargain Babasling that I picked up from TK Maxx, but not sure I really like it:cool:

Any one know why i am quite (make that a lot) possessive over Alex. Can't remember being like this with Joe. I'm fine during the week, because I have to go to work and that's the way it has to be. But at weekends even when i'm tired and i have loads of things to do and people offer to have him my immediate answer is no. As in NO, NO, NO, NO. Not in this bloody life time. Even when people want to hold him, it takes all I have not to snatch him back. And I especially like it that now he can put his arms out, he will reach for me and i'm like :pespecially to MIL. (Cow moi?).

Joe has a choice in what he does, he would rather go with his dad and play at the cricket at weekends and I'd much rather he was happy and playing, than stropping at me at home. But for as long as Alex doesn't get a choice and my hormones are still ragingly possessive he, maybe rather unfortunately for him, is stuck with mummy.

P.s. I'm fine with his dad holding him, because he is is dad after-all. I'm not that bad...........yet...............

Hope Alice gets better soon. XXX

Glad you had a good day Sami!

Tia, my OH sterlises and I don't, grabbed a dummy from him yesterday as he went to give it to Maddy and licked it just to make a point that he doesn't need to, he was horrified!!! :rotfl:

This place has some good bargins. The website doesn't work very well but if you email them they reply really quickly (based in Cambridge). I got my calin bleu wrap from there for the bargain price of £25 and they seem to have mei tais for £45.

WM - Do you think it is because you know how quickly they grow up? I get a bit like that will MIL if she comes over at the weekend. She gets a full day of him in the week and then she 'wants to help me out' at weekends too??? I can cope with my own child woman!!!

Well I can now I am at work during the week Glam

I am a firm believer that being a SAHM isn't right for some people, and it is better for both me and Benjamin that we both get to spend time in an environment where we can develop our brains
