    Thank you all!

    Sorry I have not posted been in a baby bubble!  Our boy is here and loves to sleep during the day :)  He is now 10 pounds 9 and 5 weeks old <3.

    Thankfully my boyfriend still has his job so have been able to pay bills and save also.  I have been focusing on just enjoying my time with my baby x

    Hi all

    Sorry I have not really posted in 6 months.  Just been plodding along really!  Things are so bad regarding work I do not think I can go back and looking into raising a grievance with how they are treating me (yes my mother is my boss says it all really!)  I have zero relationship with my parents and so much happier if you remember how before they are.

    My boys are thriving.  Lil chunks is a happy 6 month old and my near 11 year old is coming out his shell :)

    Hope all is well xx

    Hi all

    A lot has changed since I last posted.

    Work ended up offering me a settlement agreement much less than what I should have gotten for bullying etc but I just wanted out and move on.  I was looking to work part time so I can be at home more with baby.... I ended up with two one part time and one full...  :D  However, part time is at hospital at weekends and during week Monday-Friday 9-5 admin working from home.   It works out perfect and even in team meetings they are completely fine with him there and the baby is in nursery two days a week :).  The full time job is only temp but being extended to March 2023.

    With JP fulltime and myself it will help pay off his debt with me taking over house bills now (he did for 8 months whilst I was on mat pay) and him throwing money to debt.  It should be cleared in 6 months top if not more :D 

    We are hoping to put house up for sale in January so by time high school arrives my son has a fresh start and in a much nicer are.

    My mum and dad are another story.... I let them have the boys every second weekend.  Last week she announced she has gotten a lawyer involved to get more access to my eldest and shared custody!!!!??? Also wants less time with the baby.  I am ill with this, she is not getting parental rights to my son!  So I can see this being a pain.  As of now I am cut contact as I do not trust her, she is very unstable so I am demanding a mental health evaluation of her and she is saying a new health problem is why cant take baby overnight... I have to know what it is before my children are exposed.  My eldest had started coming home upset just before saying she was saying to him oh soon be living with us.  She is vile!!!  I told her no more contact with me and again insists on texting me as if rights to my sons.... none  rant over lol
