    Did a hpt and it was neg so gonna get some pills for trappdd wind see if that helps.

    I am so angry today, applied to disability living allowence today as i suffer from grand marl seizures (a form of seizures but v v violent), got a reply today and there saying i am not at risk of fainting/collapse or dizzy spells and that i don't need a carer as i am not at risk of harming myself and that i can cook.
    I am unable to b left alone as i don't get any warning with my seizures and i have collapsed with a pan of mashed potatoe in my hands which had still got its water in so that ended up all over me so yes this morning i am so angry. My partner looks after me so trying to clean is a nightmare.
    So why do i think having a baby is a good idea well i am a woman and my biological clock is ticking. I want to make up for my rubbish childhood and i grew up in a huge family. I am also hoping that my hormones will kivk my seizures into touch as i never had them as a child i have them due to trying to loose weight by just drinking coke so my body can't take sugar anymore

    far too emotional today, have been crying for about an hour off and on because my dad said he might not want to go to the gig i got him tickets for his birthday for, which is on sunday.

    the only reason would be not to leave his daughter and granddaughter, which i find ridiculous cos my sister will have to be with her baby alone some time and they went out for a couple of hours on Sunday so her sh*thead of an ex could come round to see the baby (long long story there). so they can go out when it's to give sister what she wants but not when i've tried hard and spent a lot of money on a present that i thought he'd really like?

    i need chocolate. and vodka. and to not feel like so much a failure. and a nice tea x x

    ((Hugs)) TeamLowe!

    Have you told him how you feel? (maybe he doesn't realise that he's being overprotective and unfair) Also, is there anyone else that could be with your sister and her baby during the concert?

    well this was through text and it's only a 'we'll have to think about whether we're going' rather than a definite answer either way so i'm leaving it for now. i've suggested that either i can go and stay with sister (which is what happened on Sunday) and tbh she doesn't *need* someone to stay with her, she's doing brilliantly :T. i also said i'd go with my husband (we like the comedian too) and then get him something else if needed. so i'm being very reasonable in writing, although he got no kisses lol

    tbh knowing my dad, it's probably not occured to him in the slightest that this might upset me, neither of my parents are very sensitive, they're just 'get on with it' sort of people. i often wonder how they ended up with me :rotfl:
    and it would upset him to know that he's upset me, if you get me. so i left it at i don't want the money wasting (with no kisses) and feel better for b*tching to my husband about it who agrees they're being crazy but we think they're overcompensating for the lack of suitable father material (sister sure knows how to pick em) x x

    I understand. If they give a definite no, and say it's because they don't want to leave your sister alone with the baby, you could always say something 'Actually, she's been doing brilliantly, don't you think? I think this would be the ideal opportunity for you to give her a little independance and let her show you how well she can cope on her own.'. That way, you've kinda made your point but in a positive way, IYSWIM?

    Bless your sister! Some of us do seem to pick rubbish guys (I know I did for years! lol). Hopefully she'll learn from this and pick someone better in future. :)
