Rubbish days

Gillyx

No! I got a few nights away last year for a funeral! All I could think about was what I was going to do with my travel time, where I had peace.

Trip has been aborted thanks to an accident on the sodding A4 that has meant I missed my flight.

Was sat in a cab for 2.5 hours, now home again.

I cried.

Oh no MV, I was just reading your thread on getting little one to take a bottle!

I've only got one little one, but Cbeebies is still my saviour - it lets me get a shower and breakfast in the morning! I know it's been on too long when the morning shows are repeated in the afternoon!

Also think that there's far too much pressure on us mummies to do every class that's going! Does anyone else find that classes/groups can be a bit cliquey at times?! We started a new class last week, and almost everyone else knew each other and I felt like a total outsider, hardly anyone spoke to me the whole time we were there, not even when we popped into the cafe afterwards...didn't help I rocked up with my still wet hair tied up, old jeans on as we'd been decorating all week, and all the other mums had perfectly straightened hair and make up, and looked like they were ready for a night out lol! Felt a bit like school all over again, ha ha! In total contrast, we also started going to our local baby and toddler group yesterday where everyone was much friendlier, it's just a shame LO prefers the other class!

Having a rubbish day today as LO was up three times during the night, she's teething and also battling to move her onto bottles and loosing...start my new job 3 weeks today, she needs to take a bottle!!

ahh thank you sulkisu..just the sort of post I was hoping for!

I think motherhood is stupidly competative, even if you are determined never to let it get that way. I always feel under pressure to be 'doing' things, and some days it's just all a massive struggle.

I'm just fed up of seeing pictures on FB of friends with kids who seem to be doing stuff all the time and enjoying it!

Sigh..good to offload anyway. Glad it's not just me

Oh bless you. You modern mums don't half set yourselves up for a fall!
You KNOW you should be resting and being kind to yourself but you feel the need to be 'doing' all these things. Why?
Just follow your own body's messages and to hell with what anyone else thinks or expects.
Please please be kind to yourself, you're the most important person in your baby's life right now, they need you and they need you to be relaxed and happy.
Lots of love.

PS I'm a newly blessed grandma with tiddler now at 4 weeks and my DD is also doing far far too much!!:eek:

Am easily the most rubbish mum today :-( Called in sick to work, feeling low rather than poorly and sent DS to nursery. Have sat on sofa eating maltesers and watching desperate housewives box set. Don't feel any better for it, now feel sick and guilty :-(

My 17month old was ill yesterday seemed alot better today then afternoon hit it was horrible...he just started crying uncontrollably and then DS2 wanted a bottle deleyed him for as long as I could.... in end I pinned DS1 down and forced calpol into his mouth...he cheered up half an hour later... -_-

No idea what I was supposed to do!!!!

Does everyone elses kid get ill this much? It seems like every 3-4 weeks he picks up another virus and round and round we go.

Yes Kayalana, my DS seems to just get over one yukky bug and then comes home from nursery with another one! Nurseries are germ-fests.

DS had a vomiting thing weekend before last. It messed up all our weekend plans, and we spent sat and Sun clearing up vomit..oh the glamour!

*Hugs* Rebecca - don't feel guilty for a day on the sofa...I'd do exactly the same! Soemtimes you just need a slob out to make you feel human (and sick!) again.
