    My cousin is married to a man who had two lo's before he met her. They were only tiny, and their Mum told them they must call step dad dad, even though they had a fantastic relationship with their real dad and his wife (my cousin!).
    The poor little boy must have been about 5 when he phoned his real Dad from home and called him his real name, because Mum and 'Dad' don't like him to call him Dad.

    Poor confused boy! :(

    That's horrible and not fair on the lad. Horrible for the real dad too to hear his son call him by his name. Heartbreaking.

    I'm gonna dash and help with dinner. Never expected such a big response, so thank you. I'll pop back later for a few minutes, but in the meantime, enjoy the rest of your days.

    Out of stock. :(

    How are you & your lot?

    SS I have the screenshot too - I have a feeling it may be reworded sometime soon.

    The German massage sounds :eek:. A big scarey german lady discussing your blackheads and poop.

    I love your pretty new shoes. :smileyhea


    I've just had an email from the National Autistic Society.
    I am extremely sorry to hear about your experience on the camp. I am afraid we cant get directly involved with your complaint but I have informed our directory team of your experience.
    I thought they might have been quite shocked, particularly about the healer!

    I've noticed that the camp organiser has defriended me on facebook. Gutted! :p

    Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Just noticed OH hasn't but the bins out! That means the binmen will now forget we exist next week and I'll be back on the phone to them everyday while rubbish piles up! :mad:

    Just asked Chris if he would eat Gma's hotpot or does he want her to do him fish fingers and chips (his general default answer to "what do you want to eat?") He said he wants "Chicken dippers and vegetables but not too many, that would be bad" he's seriously not right in the head that child :p

    :eek: in a strangely satisfying way though. I'm a weird one at heart.

    The camp organiser is clearly a bastage worthy of bastage camp. Did you hear anything more from the volunteers?

    Actually I was wondering if it would be worth sending a fictitious email asking about my (hypothetical) teenager and whether the camp would be suitable.


    And on a completely different note, a tearjerking video for you.

    It'd be interesting to hear what they say - if they bl00dy bother to reply at all! No doubt they would if they thought there was £1200 in it for them.

    Two of the volunteers have been in touch with my Mum and L by text, when they got back last night.
    One said she'll email me over the weekend.

    Evening all

    Landen had his hip ultra sound today, pleased to announce he's "normal" LOL well thats what they told us anyway, all in working order and that is hopefully the last time i ever have to re-visit that hospital...
    I actually felt sick and was very panicky walking through the door, and had a bit of a flashback to the morning of my induction but we then turned down somewhere i hadn't been and instantly felt my body relax....so phew!

    Escaped upstairs with lappy leaving hubby with Landen, have been getting seriously stressed with DH.... every so often I feel like he's not doing enough/doing things my way.... and i know im being irrational but it just erks me sometimes......
    DH has said he finds Landen really boring (which is fair enough he doesnt do much) and he's waiting for when they can play together but as I pointed out, I dont wanna be the only one doing all the mundane stuff like feeding/dressing/bathing/changing while he gets to have all the fun times, but at the same time I do understand where DH is at......

    I've told DH how I feel etc and he says he'll do things my way and sometimes he does but at other times he just ignores me, the night wake ups are the worst! To the point that DH thinks that Landen should go in his cot in his own room now, and on his nights when he is working the next day I should sleep on the blow up bed in Landen's room so he can get a decent nights sleep..... part of me sees the point and the logic behind it and then another part of me thinks *two fingers*......

    sorry whinge fest over xx

    CAFC Girl we had the sofa in fairly constant use for night wakeups - but we took it in turns, so when Husband didn't need to be somewhere the next day he let me have a long sleep and just brought me Molly for feeds. In turn, when he had an important work day (not *every* work day) I'd let him have the full night so he was properly rested. There's a lot of taking the weight off each other involved in a tiny baby - people need to work it so that nobody ever ends up running on fumes while the other person is bouncing about feeling wonderful and not helping.

    3, my 14 year old son with a great interest in horses and moderate autism would like to go to Bastage Camp. Let's see if he's allowed.

    SS, It might be a good idea if you don't call them Bastage Camp in the email! :p
