I really enjoyed my enforced few days at home especially as it was Katie's first few days at Playgroup - it meant I could drop her off and pick her up on her first day

I think I'm going to confound work again by submitting a flexible working so that I can pick her up once a week - other wise I would definitely feel like a part time mum.

I'd be rubbish at being a SAHM only because I'm rubbish at house keeping, I love spending time with Katie so would do that instead of looking after the house.

Hugs Rmac - Katie's like that alot at the moment.

I'm another one who has typed out 'How are you?' to Susan several times and not posted it. I figured you would bring it up in your own time. You know we are all here for when you do have things to say. I googled your signature and it's lovely.

Have you checked all your nearby stores?

I have found 1 to reserve in Walsall but I have a manic few days at work so I can't get there to collect it for you.

Just search all the places nearby or that you fancy visiting in the next few days

Edit - I hope V doesn't have a black eye 3 (although Benjamin has had a few, at least one of them was my fault!!) and I am sure she has forgiven you now. x

She's also very grumpy & snotty so the baggy shadowed eyes could have been caused by that. (We've had no random vomitting or poopsplosions...touch wood!).


Being a fairly new SAHM, i'm really admiring the working mums, I don't know how you do it! Even though I worked full time, then part time as a single Mum with two LO's - I honestly don't remember how I did it. I don't have time to work now! :rotfl:


Becky - I'd never heard of those, but will keep an eye out.
I was going to ask What are 3yo boys into? It's my best RL friends little boys birthday on Thursday, and I have no idea what he likes other than dinosaurs and Subarus.

ETA: Argos can be strange. L wanted a particular school bag that was out of stock in most local Argos stores. I reserved it at the one store, that was showing 1 in stock. We got to the shop, and there was a big basket full of them in the store!?!?

Hi you - I admire you, I couldn't do it. It wouldn't be healthy for me or Benjamin for me to stay at home. They all test us from time to time, is there anything in particular that is a problem? Can I offer any wise words

What's she been up to R.Mac?

It could be worse - you could have hit her in the eye with a chair leg.

thanks for all the hugs everyone - much appreciated!

3 - I've not done that one, specifically, but things like that do happen in our house too.

I'm just tired out and TBH feeling quite lonely. All my RL friends and their children seem so much better behaved than my LO (thought I know they probably aren't!).

We started Jo jingles classes a few weeks ago. Teacher fine, but class very busy. But I sing along loudly, and really try to get involved to engage LO. But shes spent each class running around - this I wouln't have a problem with normally - they are Lo afterall :rotfl: but she insists on making straight for the door and out of the church hall :eek: This week she was so disruptive to the others I left early. The funny thing was that each time she left the room she asked me for the car keys and said 'house, mummy, house' so it was clear she didn't want to be there!

while its funny in hindsight, its hard work at the time and I only do these things because I thought she's enjoy them. We can't got the supermarket without it being traumtic. no mtter how quick I am, how organised we are, how much I distract her/engage her etc.

We HAD to go to town today to get her new shoes. She wouldn't have her feet measured or checked - total meltdown. And thats not like her. Some calpol later and still no cooperation. Thought she was hungry so took her to JL for food - she threw is over the man at the table next to us so we quickly left (it was her favourite and i also ha drawing things with us to fill any moments we had to wait, but in the end it was useless). The then screamed blue murder in teh nursery department of the shop, all the way home in teh car, in her cot for 30 mins until she fell asleep.

This afternoon was spent removing her from dangerous things which I can't possible move anywhere else (HVs only adivce). This week she has discovered she can open the top cutlery drawer, stick her hand in and find the carving knife :eek::eek::eek::eek: In the time i managed to pour hot water an milk into a mug to make a coffee, she had climbe onto the kitchen table:eek: and she was saying 'bow, bow, bow' which means bounce, while - yep you guessed it - bouncing!

I'm trying to stay consistent and firm, but I feel like someone has stolen my wee girl and replaced her with a monster who knows which of my buttons to press. *insert tearing out hair smilie*

I'm trying soooooo hard to give her the best of everything - my time, quality time, learning opportunities, toys, clothes, socialising with other children,, physical activities etc etc and keep the house that i seem to be acieving nothing apart from keeping her alive (an barely that after the knife incident):o

I don't think I've cooked anything 'proper' for hubby and myself for dinner for weeks now - I'm so exhausted by the time she goes to bed......

sorry for the self indulgence. I don't think hubby gets it, but he's trying to be sympathetic supportive. At least my mum understands as apparently I wasn't dissimilar;) but shes a way away from me at the moment. And you guys are wonderful too. But I feel like I'm failing and I'm not used to/like that feeling. What if she turns out bad - it'll be all my fault.

3 - what about books? I always think they make a great present.....

RMAC, your LO will not turn out bad, she is just having the toddler two's early. Perfectly normal for a child.

Keep doing what you are doing and it will pass.

It's not easy being a parent, but being a tired parent is worse still. Get some sleep.
