MSE Parents Club Part 14

Morning.

Those boots are lush, I need a new pair as mine totally bust. What's the grip like on them though? I'm a clumsy oaf who lives halfway up a steep hill, so need something sturdy.

OH is a complete KH about bed and sleeping too, is it a man thing? He was in a right sulk this morning when he went to work as I'd been 'messing with the blanket', erm no, he'd stolen all of the duvet and I was trying to reclaim a bit.

aless, ferg is still in loads of 9-12!

Did he look a bit of a titch when you met him?

His new pacca mac is 18 months but that only works cos he has a massive hoodie underneath.

Not really, but I think it's the combo of long limbs and padded cloth nappy bum which mean he always has grown into his "right" trouser size pretty much on time. On top, 6-9 is still just fine.

I'm still wearing two-year-old boots, the German ones are expensive but really last well. And they're not the prettiest but they're so comfortable.

Also a German habit that I will absolutely import if we move back to the UK - everyone has a single duvet so there's no horrible draft down the middle and nobody steals covers. Excellently sensible.

We're having a bit of an interrupted discussion and we've got all the snappy bits out of the way and it's down to "how do we fix it?" It comes down a lot to misunderstandings, one of us says something but the other hears something completely different. We communicate very differently, and it's easy to forget that despite us being married with a child we've only been together two years and we're still learning how to do things properly. This last week we've been hitting each other's trigger points really hard. But I am now optimistic and would like to :grouphug: all round for being so lovely.

Molly is wearing a combination of 9-12 and 12-18 month tops but is only now not requiring rollups on her 9-12 month trousers :rotfl: I hope she doesn't have really short legs (proportionally), my mother does and I'd like her to be proportional.

Hope it goes well Bruno, the thought of two guests in my house for a week would bring me out in hives. One would be bad enough, I am a stroppy wench and need my space. Would walks on the common with E be a good way of getting some quiet time for yourself if you let him run about and cause some mayhem while you look on?

A shared duvet is more convenient for in bed interaction though.

We've been together for seven years and married for five and we still have misunderstandings and disagreements. We have got better at resolving them now though.

There's something very romantic about sneaking under someone else's duvet

And thank you, you're very lovely.

lovely euphemism

we've been together 13 yrs and married 11 and have regular misunderstandings and disagreements.

We fix them quicker now but they can be just as sore. I think all 'real' people do, there's no shame in it

I agree but not when you don't both fit under it.

SS, he's a booger and would probably try and nick mine too though! German shoes are expensive but good quality, although my sandals are slightly lezz-tastic.

I'm glad you and hubby are starting to sort things out. The hardest part is trying to figure out how to work around each others needs/ wants/opinions/ feelings.

It's definately something we need to work on too though, as we just tend to sulk and scowl at one another, until someone cracks and apologises.
