Moms of April/May/June 2010 babies thread! :)

[Sarahwoo]

Maybe to be honest I would pack his packs and - excuse my language - tell him to fuck off. He needs to grow a pair, grow up and start treating you right. what happiness / joy / fun does he actually bring to you and your babies? Or do you spend the whole time worrying about doing or saying the wrong thing? Wondering when or where he's going to have a go at you again? Looking forward to things only for him to ruin them? I'm sorry if I'm out of order in saying these things but I think you sound like such a lovely person, it makes me mad to think that he treats you so badly and makes you so sad

Muddles I will have a look now! On my phone but I will def point everyone out to you asap

Well we finally got out today - yay! We went to the Joules sale but it was rubbish then to Asda, which was busy - I think everyone is stocking up for hibernation around here!!!

Xx

grrr, I was just posting a rant and my computer died!!!

maybe - there is NO WAY!!!! you need to be proving to him you are a good housewife!!! he completely takes you for granted! I moan about kerry and he is a lazy selfish tit who comes out with stupid hurtful comments but your DH is on another level! He should be doing things to prove he is worthy of you!! you're an amazing mum, you're children are gorgeous. He should step back and realise what a lucky man he is

muddles - I'm glad you had such a lovely birthday edit - I've just accepted your friend request

sarah and emera - thank you very much for the breakfast ideas

emera - I hope Roh gets better soon. How are you feeling now?

gah, I've felt a bit like a corpse today. I went back to bed early on and now my throat is killing again! I hate feeling poorly becasue I cant just lie in bed all day I've just done a nice load of christmas shopping online though

 

[Sarahwoo]

Maybe just to add - you are doing all these things to show him you are a good wife. What the hell does he do to show you he's a good husband? It makes me so mad! You are worth so much more!

 

[muddles]

Sarah do John Lewis stock Joules? Oliver had a gorgeous romper suit which said Baby Joules on it that we were given from John Lewis when he was born. Thanks re Facebook.

A3my I have found you and sent a request. I also just edited my first post of today and added breakfast ideas but you might not have seen it as a few people have posted since then.

 

[Sarahwoo]

Amy - that's another wish

Muddles - yes they do! The baby stuff is quite cute, I was so annoyed today as the baby things were actually more expensive today than they were in the normal sale! Grrrrr! I only bought some socks for under my wellys, and that was only because I didn't want to go home empty handed

Love your Oliver pics on facebook, he's got soooo much hair! Absolutely gorgeous!

 

[muddles]

Yay thanks for the adds Sarah and Amy. I will most likely try to use smileys on Facebook but at least it it easy to remember which user names you two have on here I'm off for a look/nosey at your photos I love looking at photos people have added.

 

[maybebaby3]

muddles - my fone not showing your fb request will accept it when look at fb on laptop

thanks all for believing i'm not crap. he wont talk to me tonight and i hate going to bed feeling like this

 

[Sarahwoo]

I just read muddles' breakfast post and it made me think, do you all offer a drink with meals? I sometimes do but not always, maybe I should? He would happily throw a sippy cup about at mealtimes I cany rtemember what the blw book says about drinks, I'll have to have a look.

 

[A3my]

thanks Muddles - I've just read your breakfast ideas I love looking at photos too it makes me feel like I know you lovely ladies better - ooo, congrats on the 7 months BF

maybe - I totally understand how you dont want to go to sleep on an argument but I think you're like me in that you have a rubbish DH but you feel like you need to be the one to fix everything and make it better, even when he's in the wrong I always wonder why i can be such a strong woman but so weak when it comes to him and I think you are like me I bet deep down he thinks he's got it easy and loves being in control. Just remember that you are amazing xxxx

sarah -

 

[muddles]

Sarah I started offering a drink of water with meals (but not with little snacks he has here and there) as I always sit down to have breakfast with Oliver with a morning cup of coffee and each time I picked my cup up I'd feel two eyes staring at me and see two little food covered hands desperately stretching out with little fingers wiggling, combined with the 'mmmmmm mmmmm' noise that he makes when he wants something he doesn't have (it is usually a drink he wants when he does it) was enough to make me think he needed his own cup! When he holds the cup himself he mainly gets annoyed that the water isn't coming out as it isn't tipped up enough or he throws it around and plays 'by bye cup' as he launches it off the side of the highchair.

 

[Sarahwoo]

Oh Maybe, I wish you lived closer

He so, so doesn't deserve you.

 

[maybebaby3]

amy - i think we are very similar by the sounds of things. i appologise even when i really believe its not my fault. i keep wondering what my life will be like when the kids dont need me any more probably crap and lonely

sarah - owen drinks bm at meals but i do sometimes offer water too but he doesnt drink much

 

[emera35]

Sarah - We have a sippy cup that looks like a cow! Roh loves it, and i offer him water with every meal and snack too, he will generally only have a bit, just to clean his mouth out, and he loves having big swigs, and then just letting it all run out of his mouth. I have to hold it for him if i actually want any water to go in his mouth though. When he has naked roll around time before bed i give it to him to play with, he loves shaking it about and splashing loads of water on his face and body, he gasps everytime the water goes on, and then giggles and shakes the cup some more. I've started pouring water on his head in the bath now, and he finds that just as funny, I thought babies weren't meant to like being splashes in the face? Crazy child!

Amy - I'm feeling a bit better now thanks Steroids and antibiotics for me have worked and my chest feels almost normal now

Muddles - Roh makes a growling mmmmm mmmm noise when he wants something too! Cute!

 

[maybebaby3]

thanks sarah. thanks all of you. i think the only reason i'm not suicidal is coz i can talk to you lovely ladies

 

[A3my]

I sometimes offer alex water in a tommy tippee cup - he'd just drink and drink and not eat if he had a choice he does need a bit of guidance on which bit to drink from and he's also into throwing everything on the floor and then looking over his high chair to survey his handywork

 

[muddles]

Maybe I am grown up and I still need my Mummy so your kids will always need you! I honestly don't know how you put up with him. I would kick him out if it was my OH treating me like that!

Emera That's a good idea with the water cup during naked time. Oliver sounds a lot like Roh with the water! He often tries to lean forward and lick the swimming pool I saw that cow cup in Asda and thought it looked really cute.

From reading about what our babies are doing these days it sounds like they are all doing some funny things. Oliver has just found his feet and now spends a lot of time looking at them, pulling his socks off and trying to eat them. It makes it nice and easy to change his nappy as he lifts his legs right up so he is easy to clean and even easier to slip a new nappy under him. Blowing raspberries with his tongue hanging out, or just having his tongue hanging out is another favourite thing.

emera - erin splashes water on owen and it has him in fits of giggles. she splashes the water just in front of him and it splashes up on his face!

 

[emera35]

Maybe - You clearly work your rear off taking care of your lovely children, and your ungrateful OH! He should be making you happy and supporting you and contributing to the family that you are, not lounging about on the sofa expecting you to do everything for him, and then critacising you even when you do all of that! No way should he make you feel bad! Don't let him put you down hon!!
Oh, and, your children will always need you, you are their Mum!!

 

[A3my]

maybe - I used to feel like that before I had Alex as my girls are growing up fast now. If you could just shift the control slightly - somehow make him feel like you'd do fine without him - maybe he'd start to realise what he's got to lose?? not sure how to do that though! xxx

 

[maybebaby3]

well it's almost 1am here so i'd best say night night as at best i'll now get 6 hours of very broken sleep. OH is on sofa again. suits me! sarah i guess thats what he does for me - leave me the bed guess i should be thankful for small mercies! night girls hope u all get some good
