emera - he wasnt playing the latest call of duty game was he? I noticed my DH has been looking at buying it on amazon. he's just the same when he gets into a game and your naughty bad OH for swearing at Roh I would have flipped - well done for keeping your cool and I hope he got the message!

 

[emera35]

Amy -No not Call of Duty! He plays an online game that he's been playing for years, which is fine, but it just starts to take the piss when every single day the first thing he does is gets up and switches his pc on and starts playing, and then the same when he gets home from work. Quite apart form the fact that he doesn't concentrate when he's supposed to be watching Roh, he never spends any time with me either! He said i could have a lie in the other day, and within about 20 minutes of him giving Roh breakfast i could hear him crying, after 10 minutes i got up and went to the living room. Roh was in his activity centre crying, and OH was just sat in the room with him on his pc, and saying shush every so often Bleugh, i'm starting to rant again! It drives me nuts! Anyway, if it doesn't improve after what i've said there is going to be a serious butt kicking on the horizon! Today seemed better, so hopefully things will stay that way
And the swearing thing is difficult, OH's language has always been terrible, and he swears witout thinking about it. Its become an issue now, because i'm really worried Roh will pick it up once he's talking. It makes me so mad when he calls Roh a sh*t or worse, and i've flipped at him each time i've heard him do it. Its not really meant out of malice i think, he just doesn't really think about what he's saying. I asked him if he would call me the names he's called Roh, and he said of course he wouldn't. I know he adores Roh, so i don't really get why he does it. I guess because he thinks Roh doesn't hear or understand him I really don' know what i'll do about it if he does it again though.

emera - thats just the kind of thing my Dh would do thats why I never really leave Alex with him. He'll only have half an eye on him and the rest on the TV he also has bad language but he speaks worse to me than the children. I ask him if he'd like a man to speak to his daughters that way one day but its so hard to get them to change their ways isnt it! men! (rolling eyes) awww, little Roh being called a sh!t, thats so sad! Maybe if you record him doing it then play it back to him he'd realise he needs to concentrate on not doing it? I keep thinking I should do that when DH goes off on a rant at me!

 

[emera35]

thanks Amy, thats actually not a bad idea to record it. I honestly don't think he realises how awful it sounds!

Just want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. Not sure that you all actually celebrate over there - but I am thankful to have had all you ladies to talk to for the past year(ish).... So have a great day whether you celebrate or not!

 

[LogansMama]

OMG Amy - just saw the pic of your pup - sooooooooooo cute!

 

[maybebaby3]

emera and amy my OH swears all the time, not usually at the kids though but it's always f***ing this and bloody hell and other lovely things. i'm not saying i dont have the occasonal slip like if i drop something and say s**t but not like him. we came out of a kiddy party yesterday and Dylan said 'bloody hell' i was sooooooooooooooooooo mortified as i was with 3 other mums and one of them said 'did i hear right?' i wanted the ground to swallow me up. my MIL also swears sometimes.

Morning everyone

I have been sneaking on to read what you are all up to the last day or so but not had time to post as I have been restricting my PC time to make more time for housework and my list. The good news is I have made good progress with the list and best of all Joni's room is now completely finished It only took me 6 1/2 months

Joni has been a bit chesty and sneezing a lot the last day or so and last night she woke up only 30mins after we put her down and was full of a cold. It was insane the way she was fine at bedtime and then 30mins later completely congested and unable to breathe properly SO it is safe to say she was up a fair bit last night and I ended up laying her on our kingsize bed next to me propped up on a pillow to sleep and hubby slept on the futon in Joni's room. I felt really bad him sleeping through there as our bed is waaaaay more comfortable but then I remembered I have slept on the futon for about 3 months over the course of the year so it really is his turn Plus Joni spreads out so much there is not enough room for us both on the futon, not unless you don;t mind sleeping with Joni kicking you in the face

Emera I really empathise with you on the swearing front. My hubby has a mouth like a public toilet at times. I think with him it is frustration and he would swear and rant in order an effort to blow off a bit of steam. HOwever, I do not find it acceptable for him to behave like that in front of Joni, regardless of whether his dialogue is directed at her or not. I have never failed to pull him up on it and will always get in strop when he does it One day I had been out shopping with Joni, when I left Joni had been grumping and hubby had snapped at her and sworn. We got home and hubby asked how our day had been and I said ok other than someone snapping at Joni as she was grumpy and said "xyz" to her. He was outraged and could not believe anyone, even a stranger, would say that to a baby and then I pointed out it was actually him that had said it before we left He has been a lot better since then

Happy thanksgiving LogansMama. I have a friend who is American and is spending her first thanksgiving in the UK today. As we all have to work we celebrated last Sunday and had a lovely time. My friend LOVES thanksgiving and put on a real feast, I have to say the highlight for me was the sweet potato bake topped with brown sugar and pecans Mmmmmmm nom nom nom.

Well Joni may be poorly and has only napped for 10 minutes today since getting up at 4.55am but she sure has an appetite. Usually when she is unwell she is not so interested in food but not this time. Though I have to say breakfast was lots messier than usual as Joni kept spitting out half her mouthful so she could breath bless her.

Well go to go, need to see if I can get this little one to have a nap as she is exhausted and really grumpy. If all fails I will take her out in the buggy!

Have a good day everyone

 

[maybebaby3]

frufru - i have used ephedrine drops for owen's congestion this week when it's been bad and that helps.

 

[Frufru]

Good to know, thank you Maybebaby. I will see how she goes for the next few hours and might pop to boots later. Can you buy them over the counter from the pharmacy?

Joni is finally asleep after getting up at 4.55am She conked out after her feed bless her. I am hoping she manages a couple of hours, then this afternoon I will take her out for some fresh air.

Hey everyone -

I havent got a picture of my dress but its by Phil Collins Bridal and I think its very similar to the first one on his website in the popular styles section.

Well last night went to weigh in have put on 5lbs so I am very annoyed but I have completly pigged out and eaten everythin I wanted to so I cant really complain. Been for a scan and I have only partially miscarried. They have given me more medication to help me contract so I am sitting here in agony again hoping OH gets home from work soon ... he promised he would be back by 1.

Will try and catch up properly later. Hope everyone is ok. x x x

 

[L-C]

Frufru sounds like you have been busy!! and productive, hope Joni had a good sleep...

H&F really pleased you've managed to get someone to look at you properly, it really annoys me they don't really take mc's seriously. I was sent home and that was that, then the midwife turned up for my booking appointment two weeks later. No one wanted to check me or anything I was really disappointed. You'll soon catch up with weight watchers hun, the mc propbably means you are carrying fluid, hope you feel better soon xxx

Happy Thanksgiving LM!!

Will has been waking up early again I'm wondering if it's the temperature, going to try putting the heating on from 5 am - watch this space. 5 am is not funny!

We have had a nice day, a friend came over with her LO and she bought his walker over and Will had a go he loved it and moved well although is so used to his jumperoo he kept leaping up and down.

Then we went to the garden centre to look at the Christmas lights it was lovely they have a massive display. Then I got Will weighed he's 19 lb 1oz and 71.5 cms x

Evening! Still no internet here, its driving me mad!! Hopefully Steve will sort it out tomorrow.

I'm in a shocking mood and I'm wondering I'd its something to do with taking this bloomin mini pill! Could it be that? I'm just feeling very pissed off and fed up and have no idea if I should be or not, if you get me.

Argh I'm sorry, I just feel poo

Xx

 

[A3my]

Just a quick one first - Sarah I think you're meant to get less side effects with the mini-pill. I think all of our hormones must be all over the place at the moment - I wouldve bet money that I was pregnant from the way I was feeling and its all just hormones. Maybe your body is just shifting now you've got/had AF back?? Hope you're OK - big xxx

 

[Sarahwoo]

Thanks Amy

I think I might have a little cry, some chocolate and an early night

 

[A3my]

sarah - awww dont cry!!! are you watching I'm a celeb - it wouldve made you laugh! Dom Jolly said Gillian Mckeith looked like a corpse that had been exhumed for the show I've been feeling really ANGRY lately for noooo reason. and then the next second i'd cry at something stupid! DH called me a doofus xx

 

[A3my]

okay proper reply

frufru - I thought you'd been quiet mrs! Glad you got to tick lots off your "ToDo" list - how satisfying! Sorry Joni's been poorly

H&F - that first dress is beautiful, really classic. I bet yours is gorgeous! aww I really want to get married all over again now! I'm sorry you havent fully miscarried but I'm glad it proves your useles doc wrong. I hope things get better for you now hun xxx

LC - woo go Will, great weight and height 5am though - ouch! I actually wish Alex would wake earlier - i'm going to try to get him to when I go back to work. i'll have to get up about 5.45 and I'd liek him to wake at 6am.

maybe - Emily said "for fcks sake" the other day and I was mortified. luckily no-one heard but its from my DH and I was Livid. he just tells me to shut up when I tell him to watch his language. I didnt even know a swear word before i went to secondary school - I wasnt even allowed to say bum in my house so its horrible to hear my 10 year old speak like that

Well today has been HARRRRRD WORK for me! ALex has another cold! he barely got over the last one! And Holly is poorly with it so I kept her off school. Then i got a call from the school that Emily wasnt well and I had to go get her. Alex has been a clingon all day and Lyra has been a tinker and I just couldnt wait for bedtime! I'm knackered!!!!

i'm a bit worried I've made Alex completely dependant on me. I've never left him with anyone, not even DH and I am worried about when I go back to work. oh well, still got 3 months!

 

[A3my]

Insomnimama! I spy you reading the thread - how are you?? x

 

[Sarahwoo]

Amy I did watch I'm a celeb and it did make me giggle does someone get kicked out tonight?

That's a bit like how I feel - I seem to get so annoyed with things and thing just really get to me. I don't feel like myself atall, its like I'm really, really, really tired but I'm not, if you get me? I can't work out if things really are crap or if its just me. I don't feel like I can talk to Steve. I felt like this on the normal pill before, years ago. I might stop taking it and see how I feel. How I feel at the moment there is no way I would be getting pregnant anway, if you know what I mean

 

[Sarahwoo]

Hi insomnimama! How are you?

Amy I'm sorry your day was hard!!

Has anyone got any snow? We have had a few snow showers but nothing has settled. Our new sofa is coming tomorrow so I'm hoping that it stays fine as we have to take our old sofa outside to get it back in downstairs!
