Thanks everyone.
Mudbath - am sat on my bum and plan to stay here for next half hour at least except to get a coffee.

ssl - yes you're right DH can call her back


Thats exactly it. I dont care (maybe I should but I dont) and I have no interest in her sad self-induced-lonely life.


When I went in to have DD, she came round to look after DS who was then 18 months. She came to the house at 10am, DD was born at 5pm and DH phoned her with the good news at 6pm. He phoned again at 9pm to say we'd been moved to the ward etc etc and she gave him a row for being so late :eek: so he came back to me and said what she had said - I was fuming - and he then left the hospital to go home. I'd wanted him to wait until I'd done a feed as DD wouldnt feed to begin with. He says now he felt terrible at having to choose between staying with me and going home. I was (and still am) so angry about her being like that when DD was a few hours old and I refused to let DH ask her to look after the two older ones when I had LO. We relied on our lovely lovely circle of friends instead as my family are all in NIreland. She was off work at home with nowt to do for the two weeks before LO was born (just a coincidence, not planned), it was the last 2 weeks of the school summer hols when I had them under my feet all day then 4 and 2, and she didn't once come round to even take them to the park for even half an hour to give me a break. She knows we have no other family for hundreds of miles. She did come round on Christmas Day which was aminor miracle.

LOL Do you think I am bitter ......... I always get like this after a baby is born and its all hard hard work, as they get a bit older it doesnt bother me so much.


Thats exactly what I said. When the phone rang I thought it might be DH calling from the US and leapt up all excited. How miffed was I that it was her:mad:

Jill - definately a competition between you and Johanne as to who has the worst WIL (witch in law ) What if your labour had gone on for 36 hours? Was DH supposed to leave you? Old boot. Please do not feel guilty or I shall have to come down and visit and sort the old boot out!

Talking of Johanne, have we heard from her tonight? lil_me might just be right...

My MIL looked after mine from 3am until 10am (bear in mind they were in bed and didn't get up until about 8am) when my mother took over.. she had them for a couple of hours while hubby got home.. I was left in a town well away from home until 10:30 the next morning when he had farmed children out to all and sundry... my dad had 2 and my gran had 2.. they stayed there for 2 days and hubby came back for the birth.. I was then left there on my own for 3 days until they moved us to a hospital closer home!

We ran out of people to leave this lot with!

Of course.. I have 2 of the children completely done and 3 half done.. 8 children doesn't quite fit into 12 months!!

Pink fairy - in answer to your question I don't know. I've always said i'd never do reiki as I like really hands on treatments. However, a friend qualified as a reiki teacher a few years ago and I said i'd be a guinea pig. I told her not to be upset if it didn't work. It's the most relaxing treatment i've ever had. I don't get it at all but I find it so relaxing. I've done a course because it's used a lot at the hospice that i'm going to work at. I don't know if it's just a case of touch can be therapeutic or if it's something more but I really do find it works for me. It really bugs me that I don't get it!! Mind you - if I have to stop using my thumb maybe that's reiki will become something I do more of.

Sorry I can't be more scientific!! xx

I will try and explain Pink Fairy. Reiki is a energy therapy a simple hands on healing technique. By placing the hands over the body a Reiki therapist may feel either heat or a cold spot. A therapist is the conduit for energy coming from the universe. It calms the mind and can be very relaxing. A client may feel a lot of heat from the therapists hands. They may fall asleep. With distant healing it is the intent of sending healing to someone that works. It is said that thoughts are living things. Looking at a photo of the person while sending the healing is one way of doing it or even just having their name. Hope this helps and I have explained it ok.

Mudbath

I'm going to try and describe a computer problem to see if you can help me. You know the bar you get at the bottom of the screen. Well, mine has suddenly gone to the right hand side. I know you can move it again as it's happened before and dh just did something and it moved. I can't remember how. Any help please ?? xx




Edited to add- oh, i've got it back. Wierd! Right, bath and bed. Night all xx

Pink_Fairy_2

Mudbath/Boddy - thank you for the explanation - I think.:rotfl:It sounds relaxing, so I might have to give it a try, for me and DS. We're both so full of stress with his education probs and the worry about his GF.

Mudbath - I think you can just hold the mouse over the bar, hole the key down and drag it back to where it was.

Anyway, DS has run me a bath, so I'm off upstairs. Night all and sleep well.
