MSE Parents Club Part 13

SugarSpun

WM I have some very nerdly theories about masculine self-image and how the impetus towards appearing invincible (to self and others) bleeds into their refusal to seek medical attention where there's no immediate emergency or cool injury. I could strap on my geek hat but that's the bones of it. There's something so frustrating about the refusal to take responsibility for their health that makes me want to scream.

Perhaps you could stress the importance of him doing all the right things so the kids can see him as a good role model in case the same thing happens to them? Both my parents are diabetic, but because they don't pay close enough attention to their diets my brother, who is also at risk, eats crap. But I, since I don't live there and am a responsible person, eat fresh veg and such and am extremely healthy. I'm sure it's because I don't live under the influence of just one more biscuit and chocolates with evening TV and never any exercise.

Happy Birthday Amber x

Hi Som - I used the nature ones for A - they were by far the best ones for her, everything else leaked really badly, but I don't find they are as good with Freddie. For some reason the Huggies seem to be best on him.

Nearly forgot to say - Amelie had a lovely time, catching the steam train to Minehead, but I was starting to get worried as nanny was meant to be bringing her back at about 4pm and by 5.10pm there was still no sign. Apparently the train broke down on the way back and they had to wait for a coach! Oh well, they still seemed to enjoy themselves. A's cousins made a huge fuss of her and she came back all giggly....

MOTM - I have great blind faith in our ability this year.....although if they put me through the same thing as last year then I'm taking them off my xmas card list!!!!

Maz - Why only a temporary fan?

Still no poo, I feel like I'm on poo watch..... even had DH text me from work asking about poo.... and my mum from 300 miles away asking if he's pooped yet..... never has poo been so interesting to so many

Having a whale of a time watching LOTR, until the pug starts barking at the orcs..... guess I shouldnt moan coz at least if the orcs come knocking, the pug will alert me......... and then probably try to lick them to death... but the thought is there....

RE my ebay bid, I want to get them for as cheap as poss, already messaged her to ask if she's happy to accept postal order, as I dont use paypal (long debt story) and dont have a cheque book.... Im thinking if I can get it all for £15 I'll be quite happy, I dont think the condition is excellent.... but then I'm not that bothered if it looks/feels brand new, he's only gonna puke/wee/poo all over it...... I'm just loathed to buy new stuff....

She's got quite a few good bundles in larger sizes as well if anyone would like username to check her out, pm me.... not sure I'm allowed to post a direct link to her stuff....

CAFC I bet you never realised you would be discussing poo on the internet with the world We're off for a runnaround at the park, then (with any luck) she can fall asleep on the way home again, and I can get some bits done. Talk to you all later!

after the things i discussed when trying to conceive him nothing surprises nor disgusts me anymore LOL

Kindof - I used to find that when Benjamin got like that the best thing to do was to stick him in the pram and walk til we both calmed down. He rarely used to sleep but he would shut up eventually!!

MOTM - thank you for asking, I haven't heard anything yet but I didn't expect to yet. Next week I am expecting progress on 3 different opportunities so it should be interesting.

You're both going to lose to Exeter twice, so may as well just hand over the six points each now?

Mmmm we'll have to wait and see about that!!!

:rotfl:Don't worry, we'll be relegation candidates again. Not sure we'll survive like we did last season.

Ooh, exciting week in store. Imagine all 3 coming good

I think 6 points anywhere this season may be good for Exeter. Saying that, they reckon 5 teams will finish below us in the latest odds, one being D&R.

Charlton are joint 4th faves to go up.

Dag & Red v Exeter 14th Aug and Exeter v Charlton 4th Sept - let battle commence
