MSE Parents Club Part 15

Morning How is everyone? I keep meaning to catch up on here, then something crops up. Elliot's not too well at the moment, first he came out in a rash and now we think it's his back tooth that's upsetting him aswell. Pampers senstive wipes aren't as sensitive as they make out Our doctor has given him pirition to help with the rash, and i'm slapping on the nappy rash cream as his bum is so sore! Last night he was dribbling loads, and as he started screaming i noticed his pillow was soaking and had slight blood in the dribble so im hoping he's cut a tooth (although i must have mis counted as i'm sure he'd cut them all?) 4 nights so far of crying and screaming, he never cried this much as a baby.

I currently feel horrible, so called friend making me feel down and making me cry but when I say something to her (which wasn't nasty) it's ok for her to put me down even further. I must be a bad parent, because I don't intend to spend/buy loads for Elliot this xmas. Somehow she's splashing cash on designer handbags for herself, booking holidays and now buying lots of xmas presents when she's not working and relies on benefits. When I said kids don't really need loads, they all end up saying I'm bored and are fed up on xmas afternoon-she said i was jealous and i thought i was better then everyone else. I'm not jealous at all, i'm quite hurt at what she's said to me.

She's put me down because I'm a stay at home mom, she keeps pushing that I should go and leave Elliot at the creche and get a life. It started off because i said i was feeling a bit fed up, next thing she's telling me i'm depressed and my husband is horrible basically. I hate it when people think they can tell me what to do, but don't like it when you say something to them. How is that fair? Thanks for making me cry. What a great friend you are.

Keely.

GISI *hugs*, and it's not you being rubbish!

CAFC, I think it's very brave of you to admit what you're feeling. I really hope you find a GP that you feel comfortable talking to about it You are doing a fantastic job as L's mummy though, and I did have to laugh at the poo incident you had!

Bedtime routines, I hope to goodness I'm not going to be someone who lies on the floor at bedtime. I'm only just now trying to get Sophie in some sort of routine at night time. She's quite active and wiggly of an evening though, and more sleepy during the morning, so it's trying to work around her nature without being mean. We were awakened though, at 4am to the sounds of 'ah ah ah ah' and various little singing noises she does, which hasn't happened before.

GISI - I know you whited it out but you have absolutely no reason to be embarrassed about looking at his phone. It is HIS behaviour that has led you to do it, yes you haven't respected his privacy but he has acted in a way whereby you have been suspicious enough to check.

The fact that he hasn't deleted them would suggest that it might not be an affair though...surely if he were then he would be trying a bit harder to cover it up.

BIG HUGS hun xxx

Not sure I agree about an under 3 being genuine in their reasons for waking...sometimes it is just habit and whilst 'genuine' it is not necessary and therefore needs to be broken IMHO.

Whenever we make allowance for Alice being ill for more than a day she tries to take advantage when she's better. Although when she was younger it was more habit or getting used to it rather than deliberatly milking the situation like she does now.

Krystal - sounds like an ex-friend to me

Izzy is being very cute this morning. She has taken off her nappy off, give in to me to put in the bin, then got a pullup and put it on all by herself. Now she keeps taking it off and putting it on again. And running away when I try and get her dressed.

But I have to go to work so can't even talk to husband until later.

:grouphug: I really hope it turns out to not be what you think.

Keely - nobody needs 'friends' like that. If I were you I would just politely ask that she doesn't contact me again and move on.

I read OH's text messages - he's not organised enough to go through deleting them so I do it for him when we're on car journeys. I don't think it's unreasonable to check for evidence before saying anything if you already suspect something.
