Mayhem Babies! May 2011 mummies and babies

I hope that the reason he's not answering is because he decided to go get help. You can't use a phone in the hospital. I just hope he realizes that I'm being serious now.
 
Hi girls! I haven't been on here in ages. Hope the babies are doing well.
 
Mummy- Bethy is better- Elle is grabbing at her ear, Charlotte is STILL super stuffed up, both of my ears are so plugged up I can hardly hear, and Bub is sick now :cry: some day we'll all be healthy again!
 
wiggler- aww. go Bethany! no clapping or waving over here yet :nope:

brandi- :hugs: sounds like the typical fights with me and thomas. he used to have a huge porn addiction in the beginning of our relationship. and it's been a huge hurdle we've had to overcome in the early stages. and then his cheating and lieing. i'm just depressed now. and i hate waking up every day. of course i love the kids, but i just wish they didn't exist and i could be dead. but of course i have to eventually pull me out of it and remind myself that even though i do hate my life, i still love it, kwim? i always tell myself it's the depression talking and not me. i'm hoping as Ava gets older and Milo starts a routine of therapy and pre-school, things will be better. and i'm sure me and thomas will get better. its just really rough getting through these rough years :( love the video of Anberlin! :happydance:

bizy- long time no see! hope you and Luke are doing well :wave:

mummy- :hugs: hope you had a nice day.


had a pretty rough night. Milo went to bed at 1am. woke up a little before 4:30 coughing with a runny nose. we watched Shrek. then he laid in silence for over an hour. he finally passed out at 7:30. which put me back in bed at 7:45 :sleep: luckily he woke up with no cough or runny nose. other than that, the kids have been okay today :thumbup: came over to the in-laws since they haven't been over since christmas and wont come back til the weekend. recorded Ava acting like a goof :)

Nikki- :hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug:
you need to talk to someone, hon. Start with your ob/gyn and/or the kids pediatrician.
 
i also forgot to add that Ava has been motorboating her lips all day! lol. earlier she grabbed my nose and brought me in for a few kisses :cloud9: and then OH had a door handle with bells on it (my mom had it on for christmas and milo took it). OH had it in his mouth shaking it, she thought it was hilarious. then i was holding her and i put the bells in her hand, and she put them up to my mouth. as if she was telling me to do what OH was doing! cnat believe she'll be 8 months in a couple days!
 
heyy- :hugs: i feel much better today (now that AF is completely done with). didn't argue with OH all day :shrug: i'm not a fan of birth control. but i definitely need to be on something to help with my PMS. it lasts for 2 weeks (the week leading up to AF, and the week of AF). so it just seems like i'm constnatly depressed. my SIL takes hormones to regulate her hormones because her doctor tested and she creates too much testosterone. which is why she was always depressed and felt the need to lash out :shrug:
 
Well, he messaged me in the night saying I need to just leave because I'm a control freak and he'll have his dad kick me out if he has to because he's not going to any hospital. I think he's scared. I really hope he makes the right decision because it's killing me already to keep the kids away
 
Well, he finally messaged me back at 1:47am.

"You hope I make your decision.
I know what my problem is, and how to fix it.
You are leaving my house, one way or another.
If you really care about me, you will leave on your own with no hassle, otherwise, I'm having my dad remove you from the house.
That's that You Brandi, are the control freak, the police seen it...
everybody sees it!! I am done with putting up with you. I am done with having no friends or family on my side. I am done with being ashamed of my own life...
You must leave. You are, and have always been the problem, and I don't even care if you get the help that YOU need."


So, I wrote back to him that I'm trying to help him, and the police were my last resort. I don't know how else to help him if he won't help himself. We both recognize he's spinning out of control, and he admitted that to the police. I went on to say I don't care if it's a hospital he gets help at, a counselling centre, or the after hours clinic, but he needs to speak to an outside, neutral third party long term to get over whatever is bothering him. He claims it's the situation surrounding Anberlin, but it only seems to bother him when we're fighting and he wants to hurt me. I don't know if it truly does still bother him, but if it does, it sure fools me. I told him that he needs help to overcome that so that he doesn't continue to get worse and end up taking his anger and frustration out on her. I told him I know that there is more bothering him than just that and I'm his most convenient target, so he's projecting his anger on me. So, I went on to explain that a third party can help him, and that I don't want to keep him from the kids. It's already breaking my heart for them to be asking for him and he's not around and he won't answer the phone, but I cannot continue to allow them to see him get so out of control. I can't allow him to continue to scream at me and them over little things, or threaten to hit me anymore. That's not fair to them, and he knows it. I ended the message by saying I'm giving him one week to make his decision on whether he seeks counselling or I'm hiring a custody lawyer and asking for supervised visitation until he gets help.

Am I really being that unreasonable?
 
If it comes down to fighting for custody, I should be pretty safe getting it when I find him making statements like this, right?

Brandi- I don't think that post is going to do much to persuade a judge. He has the right to say that while not liking kids in general, he loves his own, but it has been a struggle to adjust. That's all it comes off as.

Milos- Tell that to your ob- to have PMS/PMT that lasts for weeks on end an causes such a dark response is dangerous for you and the kids. Maybe they can do hormone tests, maybe start you on other meds or get you in to counseling- you have A LOT on your plate right now, talking to someone professionally may not be a bad idea!

Woke up to both my ears ringing and had basically wet the bed from coughing. :sick: :cry: I have so very little bladder control after carrying the twins, they are now wondering if my bladder got nicked during surgery :nope: I have done keegels since age 14 and it has done no good! So now, when I'm coughing so hard, I have to wear stupid pantyliners/pads made for old people :cry: I seriously have been in tears over this since I got up this morning.
 
Honestly Brandi I think Id be running a mile:nope: Its not a healthy situation for the kids at all hun:hugs:

Heyy:hugs: hope you all get healthy quick!! I'm so sorry about your bladder hun:hugs: Theres lots of surgeries nowadays that can really fix the problem, dont be embarrassed to ask your doctor hun

Milos Ava is so cute:cloud9: glad you're feeling a little better hun, the pms sounds hard, maybe go and get your hormone levels tested if it runs in your family:hugs:

Hi Bizy!!

Eilidh had a bad night, the wheezing just seems to be getting worse and I was up nauseous :sick: Toddlers however are in a lovely hyper mood.
 
No need to apologise hun:hugs:

You cant make someone get the help though hun if they dont want it, I really hope he snaps out of it, but you're doing right keeping the kids safe:hugs:
 
I am giving him one week to get some help, to at least start looking. Then I'm getting a lawyer and going to full custody. He can have supervised visitation until he gets help for his anger and depression issues.
 
Oh, I'm not shy about it- I'd ask the dude standing on the corner begging for change if I thought it would fix it! :haha: Most of the time it isn't an issue, and has gotten progressively better since they were born- it's being sick and coughing that has brought it all up again. What I DO NOT like to hear is other twin/multiple moms talk about learning to live with it because it's just a side effect of having more than one in there >.< Ummmm, No thankyou???
 
Er no you dont have to live with it!! :rofl: at asking the local bum! I have issues when on a trampoline but I know my mum had a surgery:thumbup: She didnt have twins but had 5 kids in 7 years and were mainly larger babies.

We move in 5 weeks today:happydance:
 
patiently waiting til 8am (7:54 currently) so that I can go back to bed. I have a massive headache and have had another ulcer attack this morning. Huuby is not going to be happy but he ca just DEAL
