MSE Parents Club Part 15

Daily for DD, 16 months, because it's her bedtime routine and she loves playing in the bath, She has about 20 mins in it usually. We wash hair only weekly though, unless very dirty. And sometimes we skip the bath if it's late or she's very tired, but she misses it.

Mine had baths from birth as part of the bedtime routine and continued until they were about 11 and then they had/have daily showers in the mornings. If I remember rightly hair washing probably happened about three times a week, unless they were very dirty or sweaty from playing.

DD is 10 months and has a bath every other day on average.

She had a daily bath for a while but I don't really think it's necessary and is a bit of a waste of water IMO.

Ah I just cant take it anymore

Why does T always have a screaming fit when we go out now? For the past few weeks it has been a nightmare, we go to friends houses, families houses, shops, doctors, etc and he just screams. I GIVE UP he will not leave this house anymore I took him to my sisters last night, I picked her up from work 1st he cried in car, he cried in her flat, fed him and he cried more, took him home and he cried. Then today at a friends house he did not stop crying. I am so fed up and i just wana cry myself


For Weezl

amount of time you are able to sit playing entirely with your child - Not as long as I should, as he is only 12 weeks play tends to be short bursts, he is happy being played with then he likes to hold stuff himself while I observe. I do play with him when changing him (had to make changing him a more fun event when I was changing him 1/2 hourly when he was ill)

amount of time they do their own thing and you read mse/pay bills/read a book - not sure exact time but I put him in his bouncer while I eat my cereal, and maybe later on I might put him in it for a short while so I can make a cuppa / etc

amount of time you put the telly on and do stuff like cleaning/cooking/or also being on the internet - I tend to have the telly on alot, but its more for background noise rather than to actually watch! I probably spend 1 hour in the morning hoovering/ dusting/ washing clothes/ washing bottles/ sterilising etc. Then I do the rest while T naps in the afternoon.

amount of groups you feel comfortable going to - None

Oh kitkat, Lilia was just like that, I remember it being so awful. I do feel for you. It only really got better for us when she got to around 6 months, and then it was totally great after 12 months, but you probably don;t want to hear that! She just hated being a baby. It's horrible isn;t it. I have no advice but have some hugs. xxx

As babies most nights to settle them down before bed, now they are little girls it is every two or three days with strip washes on the other days while brushing teeth at the sink. They do seem to be quite hacky little girls though so couldn't really see them going more than a week:p

You've got to be from the North East! One word in your post gave it away! :rotfl:

My little boy is 16 weeks and he has a bath every night as part of his bedtime routine, although his hair doesn't get washed every night, maybe every 2-3 nights.

My wardrobe is almost entirely devoid of going out clothes because I never go out, which causes huge problems on the rare occasion that I'm doing something in the evening where pjs are innapropriate.

I could have written that :D

More snow forecast here overnight and we have a severe weather warning from the Met Office. I hope the gritters are out so I can go to work in the morning.

Take care everyone and stay warm xx
