  • Oh GISI ... In that case I would definitely talk to him about it. I hope it is nothing more than "harmless" flirting :(

    Got a very standard, We received your letter blah blah.
    I have investigated your allegations (first offence!) with the EYP in question and believe that a miscommunication may have taken place in this instance.

    Then says that the EYP does not recall being asked about DH coming along and WASNT PRESENT for any further exchange between others and so no further comment can be made....
    :mad: What is it about organisations in Darlington?

    When I made a complaint about the RE part of my PGCE and some of the things said by the person running that part of the course, I got a meeting with the head of the course and the Dean of Social Sciences. They made it clear they appreciated why I objected to the things I had, told me that the person concerned had denied saying one of the things and asked me what I wanted. I told them I wanted to know that it wouldn't happen again and they agreed and said that was easy for them to do. I have a friend who did the same course five years later so I know it definitely has changed and it obviously made a big impact as she said the lecturer actually told them about the complaint. There was none of this "Well it's your word against hers so we're not going to deal with it" fobbing off nonsense.

    I'm so mad on your behalf.

    Grrr second day in a row i've utilised some ahem, 'spare' realistic fb accounts to vote for a certain baby ;) and she's still not first :mad: I feel so defeated. :(
    But there's a judging round so presumably as long as she's in the top so many, it doesn't matter whether she's actually first.

    Brother is visiting this weekend and was speaking to my Mam on the phone. She said that my niece is still not sleeping through the night. She was 3 in July. My brother and SIL take turns laying on the bedroom floor for hours and gently coaxing her back to sleep.

    If she was mine, I'd be marching in and saying firmly telling her to shut up and go to sleep, and following it up with punishments if she continued messing about :o

    Two very different approaches and I know there is no wrong or right way, but I just thought I'd mention it as it interests me how people do parenting in wildly different ways.
    We use both approaches depending on whether we think there's a good reason (e.g. illness) or not.

    *hugs* GISI.

    Spend today thinking about the best way to chat about it. Don't go in all guns blazing and accusing him. Just say calmly that it's making you feel uncomfortable and take it from there.

    Take care xx
    Here I go again on my own....

    ETA One of our fav things about Elijah is he so affectionate and so loves the cuddles :) whenever either of us groan or exclaim cuz we drop something or anything like that, he rushes over from wherever he is in the flat to say "Ohhhhhhhhh.... CUGGLES" and clings to us. And in the mornings when I send him in to wake OH, he rushes in, then very gently edges up to her pillow, lies his cheek against hers and says "Hi mama... cuggles :)". It is very pleasing!
    If I tell Alice I'm sad, she says, "Oh, you've got tears." then runs off to get a handkerchief ans proceeds to stab me in the eyes with it to wipe my "tears".

    (((hugs for GISI))) You are not a rubbish wife, if he is then he is a rubbish husband for being so stupid. But it sounds more like an infactuation than a physical thing? Either way, confront him about it and ask what is going on. And we are all here for you to vent at.

    Hopefully it is a lot of her chasing him inappropriately (unless you saw outgoing texts as well) and maybe he just is embarrassed and knows it's "wrong" so hasn't said anything to you (perhaps macho-ly thinking he can deal with it himself). If they are having a fling, then they're both pretty stupid to be so obvious about it. Even though it's still very hurtful and hard on you, hopefully it's nothing being "harmless" flirting like Tia said. :grouphug: more dodgy hugs from us. My PM box is always open and if you need, we can all agree on here not to quote you if you need to delete later.

    And don't worry about being rubbish - you are gorgeously yummy who does so much for your family and H.
