  • Jazee thank you, its good advice and I know that being hard on him is pointless anyway. We had quite a good chat in the end, I was very gentle and just asked if everything was OK as I havent seen him doing homework since he went back after Christmas. He says he is finding it hard to get back into a routine. However its now gone 8pm and I know he has work to finish that has to be handed in tomorrow. He is watching telly in his bedroom. I will let him get on with it, I have said enough for today.

    Dizzy hugs. Let it all out on here if it helps. Thinking of you.

    Oh and I want a Pigpen bunny!!!

    Evening all,

    Embb- it was you! Earlier in the week- I couldn't remember whose daughter was nearly due! I'm 38 weeks and getting fed up. My first official day of maternity leave tomorrow and I know I should just enjoy these next couple of weeks but fed up of the tiredness and the constant aching and discomfort now! I hope she's not late like ds1 and ds2!

    Mmm- glad to hear about the safe return of the cat!

    Dizzy- I can only echo what everyone else had said. You have really soldiered on through all your difficulties and living in a caravan must be putting a lot f strain on you. Be honest on here and vent as much as you need to! It will help to get it off your chest.

    Catch you all in the new thread!

  • Dizzy honey I could have written your post, your days sound just like mine - moaning kiddies who won't share, screech at each other, a grumpy tiny - I have one of those too, he's nearly 2yo and is the biggest grump ever. So in summary you're not alone - and we are all here holding your hand. If I lived nearer I would happily take tiny for a day so Dizzy-tiny and ATB-tiny could grump together!

    See you all on the new Fred X X
