dt1 how horrible for your son - but in his position I would probably stay there and let her go elsewhere if she's unhappy about him being there.

3, does your friend want to buy a scuttlebug or can she be convinced she does?

No idea EA

Krystal, the Germans are mad for putting things on sticks. Steckerlfisch is a mackerel skewered and cooked over coals, standard in biergartens but the smell makes me _pale_

Can he not just stay there for two weeks - if she doens't like it she can b00ger off.

I am worried if he stays that she is going to accuse him of other things, they cannot be in the same room without arguing.

Did you watch An Idiot Abroad on Sky1 Thursday? Carl Pilkinton went to china and they had cooked insects on sticks _pale_

I would eat a cooked insect on a stick... Not so sure about the mackerel though...

Would definitely eat cake on a stick...

EA, they don't have salad cream in Australia either, I'd forgotten about it until I came back here. Must just be a really English thing.

SS, you now have me wanting currywurst, and your milkshake.

:rotfl:@ Krystal and 3, can just imagine you swapping baby monkeys for your LOs and smuggling them out in prams.

i'm in a bid-ogg against one user but they've had 3 bid retractions in the past 3 months, and im conscious its a scam to get the £ up...

Does someone have a link to the takeaway book?

I don't think you're doing anything wrong at all, and in exactly the same situation as you I did exactly the same thing... This is just MY opinion... But if all my child wants is a cuddle, I'm not going to deny her a cuddle... Aimee needed quick cuddles in the night until she was around 3 1/2, not every night and some nights more cuddles than others... I was probably naughtier than you in that I also used to bring her in bed with me to sleep... As she got older I found that she was a lot easier to reason with and I could give her a cuddle and get back to bed really quickly... Also, she would come into my room for a cuddle and I could then send her back to her own bed with barely waking up...

Something I've experienced with Caitlyn the last 2 nights though, she's woken up about an hour after bed time and she's been fine having a cuddle and all snuggled in but absolutely inconsolable as soon as you put her down in the cot... What I resorted to last night, rather than picking her up, I leant over the cot and cuddled her without picking her up and then lay her down, held her down and got right down on the floor next to the cot, she settled a lot quicker than the night before... Maybe you could try getting right down next to E's bed and hugging him when he's laying down as maybe a way to stop him getting up in his bed?

Jam, Aimee used to cry until she was sick... I literally couldn't leave the room when she was upset...
...

I'm with you on this one before I had Edgar I would have been in the stand your ground group but Edgar has shown me that that way only works if the child is the right 'type'. Edgar screams and gags when upset, he hasn't been sick but I have no doubt that he would if I continued to ignore him.
I fear I may need you to spout advice back my way in a year or so

With Chris when we put him in a bed I found on nights where he refused to stay in bed I would sit on a cushion at the side of his bed, he would climb all over me even trying to pick my arms up to make me hug him but all I would do is avoid eye contact and say nothing but "bedtime" after a while he would just lie down and stay still(still crying ) that didn't last more than a week or so tho so I feel it was worth it. We did and always have done a snuggle up time before bed too so He knows you get snuggles with a story but once you are tucked up its time to sleep.

I do hope you can resolve things Bruno, I know MM had some success with a method by Dr Ferber but I'm not sure of the actual title of the book.
Another random idea was to get one of those 'hothugs' microwave soft toys maybe the cuddly warmth from one would keep him happy?

Morning all, hugs for all poorly and tired people. xx
Just need to rant so ignore if you want.
DS1 married in November 2009, had to come home last night after his wife posted on facebook that he was physically and mentally abusing her.:mad: But she is happy to stay at the marital home with him, and will not stay at her mums so he can work his 2 week notice. He lives an hour away from us and does not drive. I know there are 2 sides to every story but I also know she has given him reason to be suspicous, i.e walkinf out after an arguement over a bloke and then staying with said bloke overnight. He has admitted to me that he grabbed her arm to get her phone off her to see who she had been talking to. But IF he was physically abusing her why is she happy to spend the next 2 weeks in the same house as him???
DH has taken him back today to see if he can pick up his clothes and bike and to see if his work will allow him to take 2 weeks of his holiday as his notice.
Sorry just going round and round in my head.

how awful for everyone involved, sound like she is maybe wanting to split up but is rather messed up in trying to hurt DS1 and appearing the victim as its her that has a new man?


Why does Edgar keep trying to eat crayons when he knows they taste nasty? he nibbles some off then does a yukky face and wipes all the bits off his tongue :rotfl:

tiamai_d

Dt1, sounds like she is trying to push him out, get sympathy and probably move onto some other poor !!!!!!.

Evansangel

Ah yeah, i keep forgetting to mention.
Do you know the gag reflex babies have? I think Lily is trying to over ride it :rotfl:

She had a chicken dipper the other day and started gagging, i said to DH that she would push it out herself, but then she started swallowing it and choking. She does this to everything :eek:

She didn't seem to mind though, once i patted her back and she coughed it up she carried on chewing..
