MSE Parents Club Part 14

got-it-spend-it

Glad you got it sorted SM. FB is never a good place to air work woes as you never know who is watching and taking a screen shot:undecided.

:T For walking Molly, that is ace. :mad: At lazy husbands though.

Hugs for those who had bad nights, or who who have uncooperative children this morning.

I have a mega-sore foot. It hurt last night but it really hurts this morning, but I've not done anything to it. It hurts from my middle toe, along my foot and up to my ankle. Any ideas?

It's not even that he's useless, WM, he's just lazy and thinks that if he can't see the dirt then it doesn't exist.

Still, he's in there now cleaning it, I just wish it hadn't got to this point to get him to do it.

I'm so angry and frustrated with his half-a**ed approach to cleanliness.

I do think it's a man (and child) thing... D will step over something 43 times before I point out that he could just pick it up and put it away... If I ask him to clear the sides in the kitchen he'll do the barest minimum and assume it's adequate... I gave him the choice of the dishes or sorting the toybox and associated crap into the new unit last night, but I asked him if he'd sort it out properly or just cram it all in... When he paused to think about it I sent him to the kitchen to do dishes... He wouldn't think to sort it, half the reason it needed sorting in the first place is because he will just shovel stuff anywhere to make it appear tidy, it's not actually putting things away though is it... And it means I can never find anything when I need it... Where are my bloody nail clippers?!

Sorry... That turned into a bit of a rant about me didn't it...

WM, could you not ring the school and arrange him a school dinner? Or is it easier to just take him a lunch in?

OH doesnt do anything unless i ask him, its ridiculous really i mean he's not a child, if he lived on his own im sure he'd keep the place tidy but he's got muggings here to do it instead, but hey i dont have a job but he doesnt understand that he has a lot more bum on couch time than me.... *and breathe* rant over sorry lol!!

anyway hope everyones ok? im just trying to decide what to do today..

GISI, this sounds weird, but could you have stretched something in the night?

The lady of the boy who James had a fight with phoned. She said she'd got her son's side and wanted to hear my side so we could work out what really did happen and the best way to handle it. She said she was poorly on Friday and at her parents so her son went to her sisters house after school and the cousin came round here before she got to know about anything. She had no idea what he said and she's livid with him for sticking his nose in. Sorted things out with her and we're going to try and get the boys to make up tomorrow. Feel happier about that now.

That's great - she's obviously reasonable then.

Morning much better night here tho T is still not better.

Ishall stop moaning about my OHs OCD cleaning! Souids like I should count myself lucky even if it is really annoying when he disturbs my sleep by clattering about. Actually I really shouldn't moan about him I give him lots of stick and he cooks and cleans without moaning,I just wish he would think more of T as a joint effort instead of me having to tell him to do things for her, I know he could do it if I weren't here.

Am watching I can cook with T,is it sad I really like some of the stuff they make, today honey tea loaf Cant wait for T to be able to do some baking I saw very cute aprons with gruffalo and hungry caterpillar and that ballet dancing mouse who's name escapes me atm.

SS - yeay for Miss Mollys steps

Krystal - hope you got the LO's to co operate in the end.

Anyone know a salt free hummous recipe so i can make some for T as I have chickpeas sitting in the cupboard.

It was sore yesterday too though, it's just got worse overnight. It's like the bone is aching, but the skin is also sore, like I've stubbed my whole foot really hard, but I haven't!

I am happy to have won 2000pts on BP though! That's cheered me up no end.

Pants night sleep here as my bowel was playing up. Got up and watched something on BBC3 about school proms and was shocked at how much parents spend on them. Most were spending a few hundered pounds on one evening. One spoiled brat had £3.5K spent on her dress, hair and make up and transport :eek: It's a stupid amount of money to spend.

Sorry you weren't feeling well and :eek: our whole wedding including the honeymoon didn't even cost that much. I just wouldn't enjoy something like that if I'd spent that much money on it.
