Is Charlottes nursery still open? Keira has been on October holidays since last Wednesday and she doesn't go back until the 27th! :eek:

Yes, it's part of the school so they have the same holidays the school. She's off from the week commencing the 25th.

October week is always known as tattie picking week here too

Caz - the outdoor nursery sounds great. They have a huge outdoor play area at our nursery and they go out in all weathers. We have to leave wellies and waterproofs at school, just for playing out in. Charlotte loves it and proudly shows me the dirt on her knees every day :rotfl:

Hope your scan goes ok EA xx

CAFC - I hated babygroup. They thought I was strange as I wanted to talk about things other than babies. Every week it was the same conversations: Huggies v Pampers debate, breast v bottle debate, what the babies had eaten discussion, what the babies had poo'ed discussion and so on. And everyones baby was so much better than everyone elses so someone would mention a milestone and everyone elses baby came out of the womb doing it - arrrghhh!

Went to collect Charlotte from school and her best friends Mam was there with her three day old baby boy. Awww he was so cute and tiny and her friend was so proud telling Charlotte he is her brother :cool:

CAFC - hugs sweetie. Are you okay?

See this is what I mean about you lot, you're all so lovely and I know would never dream of coming out with the carp I got off the mummy nazis earlier.....

Anyway in short to explain (I did type this all out earlier but before I could copy whilst it was posting I got the delightful Internet Explorer is being a twonk message)

So we go to baby massage (make an effort thinks I)
Only 4 there inc me, with the only boy (which was sad as there was only 1 other boy first time as well)

Anyway........... the bl**ding woman running it EYP we'll call her, asks me in front of everyone why I wasnt there last week..
Response
"Oh well my husband works shifts and he doesnt get much time with L, and as it was his day off I wanted them to have the time together and I didnt know if he would be ok to come along. I tried phoning to check but noone answered. Last time you said it was ok if we had to miss a week because we go back over the previous week at the start so I thought it would be ok"

EYP
"Well if you had been here last week we wouldnt HAVE to go back over it, because everyone else here had attended"

*Note noone jumps in to say "oh well I wouldnt mind going back over it*

Then Pink Mummy 1 pipes up
"I dont know about anyone else but I wouldnt feel comfortable with your husband here as last week we had all the babies naked for the session, and I wouldnt like my daughter being naked around strange men, and she loved having the freedom last time so.........."

*Note my husband is not a raging !!!!! attending baby massage so he can groom them, he was going to go so that he could learn how to bond better with his son*

Pink Mummy 2
"Oh I hadnt thought of that, good point... because you never know do you"

Follow everyone staring at me....

Before I could blurt out any kind of response EYP gets started, and it was so uncomfortable, none of them would talk to me, I tried joining in the conversation but they'd just start talking about things they buy for their girls, dresses and the like...

So I just concentrated on L, desperately trying not to cry, and waited for them all to leave before me.

Spoke to some woman on the desk about my unreturned messages for the HV to come have her chat about weaning because we're away, and I got told she'll get back to me when she can....

I then asked if I was able to fit into the next baby massage set as I wouldnt be able to attend the last week, so had only attended two, so she goes into the room to ask EYP, comes back out and I get

"No I'm sorry those spaces are reserved for those mummies whose children are just coming up for 3 months, we dont have space for any babies who dont meet that"

So I said "Oh ok I thought I'd ask, because theres a woman there with a 7 month old daughter, who said she missed out on them when she was 3 months and I figured it was worth asking so not to worry but thankyou"

THEN
She says "That was a special case, with different circumstance, not because of personal feelings"......

So obv EYP has told her about the exchange in some twisted manner.

And then I just couldnt hold it in, just started crying and left with L in my arms, so idiot chavs had parked their pushchairs in front of mine and hemmed it in, so I had to move theres to get mine and she didnt offer me any help whatsoever....

And I just walked home crying all the way...
Forgot that I was supposed to call at the co-op for milk, so soon as I got home and realised, started crying again, had two feeds left, so fed L, and went out again and now I just hate everyone bar you fine people...........

God what an explanation...
I just hate it. I dont know whats so wrong with me that they'd be that horrible. I dont wanna rant about it anywhere but here because I dont want DH to know what they said. So I need to vent it here (Im so sorry to you all), before he gets home, get all the tears out and return to normality....
Just feel like that was a potential outlet to make friends and I've been brandished like some scarlet lady....

oh my god, I am so sorry for the length of that message...

The school nursery here has a great big garden and they were given lottery funding a few years ago to make it amazing! I think its great that they are allowed out in all weather as i know a few kids that only get out to play at nursery The outdoor place is great although i dont think i could do it hehehe! i like the warmth too much, but come rain or snow they stay out hence needing fantastic waterproofs!

That's awful CAFC. That's a disgusting thing for PinkMammy1 to say and I'd have been upset too.

When I did baby massage, it was all boys and Charlotte was the only baby girl!

OH MY GOD I am completely outraged on your behalf CAFC.
