    God I hate my sperm donor. He called me earlier for a chat? I don't know......I mention in passing I'm looking for evening work but finding it difficult as I A) have no experience B) No references that I can think of and C) Restricted on hours I can do - his reply?

    "Oh work at the hospital as a cleaner, you don't have to be smart for that"
    "What you trying to suggest here?"
    "Well, be realistic Karen, you'll never be qualified in anything"

    ERRRRRRRRR HOW WOULD YOU KNOW! Dude pops back into my life after 20 years and thinks he knows me. Douchebag.

    Becles, are you going to get time to sit down and relax any time soon?

    Not likely! Got too much stuff that needs doing :(

    Lovely pic Sami.

    Charlotte wants the puppy bike she saw in the toy shop for Christmas and they boys are getting a laptop. They really need a computer for school work so we're asking relatives if they would rather give us cash towards a laptop from everybody, rather than everyone buy seperate gifts. Everyone seems keen so far.

    Has anyone had a child that has gone backwards in toilet training for no apparant reason? Charlotte has been out of nappies altogether for a while now, but over the last week she keeps doing small poo's in her knickers or not wiping herself properly and then coming and complaining about skidmarks. On one occasion I'd told her off for something else and she stood and squeezed one out on purpose then said "I've just pooed in my knickers" :mad: I've been trying to ignore it and just giving her clean knickers, but she keeps doing it.
    Here I go again on my own....

    No help there sorry Beccles, I can't even get Keira dry at nights and she is 4 and a half - I feel quite embarrassed by that, she just totally isn't aware she is doing it, even if you let her sleep in knickers, and she pee's, she won't wake up because she is cold and uncomfy, she'll just keep on sleeping!

    Totally fine and skidmark free during the day like. Maybe she is just acting out a bit since she started nursery?
  • I was wondering if she had seen someone at nursery do it and get lots of attention over it?

    I think ignoring it and keep on giving clean knickers is the sensible way forward. It would appear it is a (dirty) protest about something, not that she can't do it.

    One of Molly's shirts ended up with mould spots on it from being wet too long. I soaked it in vinegar. Molly found it and has dragged it through the apartment. We have a beautifully shiny streak of floor, one pair of smelly baby trousers and one appallingly stinky baby. I'm tempted to leave her with it so she can finish the floor off.

    Given how good a mum you seem to be despite your background, I'm sure you could do well at lots of things given the opportunity.

    Maybe she'll be like Alice - she loves cleaning the floor (and cleaning in general but her favourite is cleaning the kitchen floor).
