MacSmiler sweetie, she won't turn out bad, how could she possibly with a mummy who cares so much?

My simple advice is lower your expectations slightly, she is still a baby and the terrible two's are right around the corner. And relax - it is exactly the same as when they were teeny, they pick up on our moods and take it from there.

Benjamin misbehaves much more for his daddy than for me and I am convinced that this is because hubby stresses about stuff (whereas I just let him get hurt LOL).



Edit - sorry, reading that back it could be seen as patronising - I hope you know me well enough to know that it is meant with the best of intentions...and to know that I know I will be coming crying with similar problems in the future!!!!!

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.

WASHER.x.

you are very right. when she goes back to sleep I'm headed to bed. Aparently sleep is over rated

good point. did I ever tell you, you are a wise woman

ETA - in no way patronising - I read it as if you were sitting on the sofa with me

She very dramatically says "Oh B*ll*cks..."

Do you know how difficult it is to be stern and flabbergasted without actually laughing?!

Yep Henry started saying Bl**dy hell the other day

theres a few toy bargains on boots.com if anyone else is sorting xmas shopping out, highschool musical dance mat £3, postman pat tent £5, also toys are 3 for 2, mat is £19.99 on amazon!! tent is over £20 other sites so seems quite a good discount, boots.com is being a bit funny though so have to keep hitting refresh xx

oh gutted the tent went out of stock before i checked out

I wanted the Thomas Swingball from Boots and it went OOS so here too

I was just going to ask if I was the only one who didn't cry when watching it - I was beginning to think I must be really weird or something. And I thought Tigs and Marley were lovely.

No crying here either Susan but Tigs etc were great...

PS another one that hasnt asked but wanted to....

Brilliant, thanks Maz. I've got a load of basil in the greenhouse so might use that and ignore the others. Do you peel the tomatoes first or just chop them and throw them in?

No peeling just throw them in :j

Can you post a link to whatever toys you are looking for and we can keep our eyes peeled - if there are any anywhere the PT members can sniff em out

You can look for my Thomas swingball if you like £12 is the cheapest so far ( £8 in Boots :mad:)

she finally managed to sleep through when she was about 14 months and now at 19 months has started to wake up about 11pm crying and inconsolable. A quick cuddle seems to help - shes back fast asleep in her cot now. Its very inconsistent and seems to be linked to the days shes slept less during the day.....

Hubby just called - he is tipsy *rolleyes* and he said he is going to switch his phone off, draw the blackout blinds and sleep until he needs to sleep no more...

...I can't blame him at all, he hasn't been sleeping lately, life is pretty stressful for him ATM but I REALLY WANT THAT TO BE ME!!!!!
