MSE Parents Club Part 16

Congrats Krystal :j

We're off to collect DSD today.

Decided against that house in the end, still looking in the area but gave my nan back the money she gave me for the agency fee, she asked if I wanted to hang on to it and I said no you're way more sensible than me if I hang on to it it'll disappear on electric and such :rotfl:

MERFE it's rubbish when plans go awry. Definitely go docs, better safe than sorry!

I annoyed OH because I've just spent ages sorting out my kitchen, still isn't finished then OH asked for cooked breakfast. He wasn't happy when I said no but the dishwasher is already on, there's another load to go in and the last thing I want to do is use loads of stuff, not have time to wash it and come back later to a mountain of washing up and a house that stinks of grease _pale_

Squeak has started waking up in the night, I'd usually giver her to OH then go sort her bottle, 4.45 am today I do this, get back upstairs and she's just cuddled up to him and gone to sleep where she stayed until 7, the cheeky madam :eek:

I went on my online banking and took my money back from natwest :rotfl:

To top all that the weather is dull and grey.

Afternoon all

We're safely back from NYC and had a lovely time except it was FAR too short.

Congratulations and hello to all the new mummies and :grouphug: where needed.

Hugs to Gizmodo, I hope you are feeling better today, it does get easier! I was lucky as my sisters were breastfeeding at the same time (but started before me) so I was able to get all their advice and go shopping etc. with them and they knew all the places to go and sitting together to feed made it so much easier. I also helps to have the right wardrobe, a vest with shirt and cardi over top usually works well for me but proper breast feeding tops are amazing. I had one that had a side opening and it made everything so much easier. Not sure about the arm - maybe you could ask your OH to move it for you? I sometimes had to get OH to grab Erin's arms to stop her getting them in the way - she soon learnt not to.

Thanks for the cute photo from Metranil

Hope DD is better MDW, those boosters sound nasty.

Welcome Sharkey.

Having a day in sorting today. Just done the car insurance and it wasn't a pleasant experience but Erin is being cute and has learnt how to pull her 'pull along' dog along instead of just picking it up and carrying it

Hello ladies - Thank you for all the welcomes - hopefully I will be able to keep up with the thread. Ms Sharkeybabe had a bit better sleep last night, but she still didnt settle in her moses basket in our room (even though she has slept in it down stairs) so I brought her into bed with me for a couple of hours and she fell straight asleep. She woke up around 5am and we all ended up coming downstairs where she promptly had her bottle and fell asleep in her moses basket!!!!! its getting frustrating, however she seems a lot more contened today than the past couple of days so hopefully she was just being crabbit. Going to try her to sleep in our room in moses basket tonight, but if not then looks like I will be sleeping in the living room tonight. I am shattered so hopng that one way or the other she sleeps.lol.
Hope everyone had a nice Saturday - my dad and stepmum are coming up tomorrow which I am really looking forward too, just need to get the house tidied

MERFE

sharkey me and OH took turns sleeping on the sofa whilst Bob slept in his pram when he was new so the other one got a really good sleep upstairs. When DD was little she refused to sleep in the moses basket full stop and would only sleep in the pram so ended up in the living room until she went in her big cot. You sometimes just do whatever to get through those early days and nothing is wrong just different things suit different families or babies.

oh yeah and pigpen sudocream seems to be doing the trick so fingers crossed I don't need the doctor, thanks x. I knew all those tiny little pots of sudocream would come in handy for something eventually - I've tons of them.

Glad to help!

I had to BUY a tub of sudocrem would you believe!!!! I only got the 1 but then I only got my hospital bounty pack and none of the others.

Pleased you are back safe and sound SS and glad you had a lovely trip xx

My nose and face are really throbbing today

My parents plane landed slightly late at Manchester. They got the car back and just got on the motorway when it broke down! They had to ring the RAC and wait for them to come out. The man said the coil had gone, so he towed them off the motorway to a petrol station and they were waiting for a low loader to come and transport them and the car home.

Poor Mam was absolutely freezing so I'm pleased I went and turned their heating up for them now.

Becles

Parents finally got home. They were cold, tired and hungry, and absolutely over the moon to find some lasagne in their fridge ready to heat up!

We're popping round on Monday morning to see them :cool:

I do understand not letting a small child stay with friends for example but I don't get not allowing them to stay with Grandparents? My grandchildren have been having overnight stays and sleepovers with us from when they were babies and the oldest is now 23 , do you not think its sensible and confidence building to allow a child to do this especially with people you should trust implicitly? My daughters have always been comfortable with it and so have the children and its meant in the event of an emergency they can go to a Grandparent quite happily and without upset or fuss.. the youngest is always asking for a sleepover at nannies its wonderful for all of us to be so close.. and Mum knows the child is happy and safe and used to Mum leaving her on the odd occassion it happens.

My parents have been married for 35 years but they do have a up and down relationship and argue a fair bit and I don't want my son to be around that so sadly letting him stay so young is not an option for me and I've had to tell them this is why I won't allow it.
