emera - poor roh hope he gets better quick

lc - well done will!!!

sarah - i always err on the side of caution as far as taking kids to dr.

going to try and put owen in his crib (or maybe just in my bed as OH on sofa and been asleep there abt 2hrs now) and try to shower!!!

Emera poor littlle Roh! He's in the best place though and I'm sure he will be as fit as a fiddle again soon I hope you get some rest, and that Roh is feeling better very soon.

Maybe I hope you get your shower!!

 

[Windmills]

Just a quick one, Emera massive , it's heartbreaking them being in hospital isn't it! Get well soon Roh

 

[maybebaby3]

[maybebaby3]

h&f - hope things r better for u tonight hun! if u cant go out for lunch can u not get together in your house? thats what i do a lot with my friends and it is less stressful as the kids get older and more mobile.

Alex went back to sleep. DH has been playing his xbox for over an hour while I washed up, made packed lunches, settled Alex, cleared up dog poop and wee. I keep saying can you stop now - he's said "in a minute" for the last 1/2 hr - grrrrrrr

maybe - glad you got your shower xx

H&F and Maybe-

I have to say that I have a similar situation, but I ignore it. Which isn't the answer. In 6 months he has watched the baby on his own 3 times, twice while I got my hair done and once while I went to town with my mum, which was his idea. My mum watches her every other time I've needed it. I always regret it when I get home as she screams for me now, and he can't cope. He makes me feel like I'm wrong for asking him to do something tiny like hold her while I run her bath. He changes her maybe once a week, won't dress her, won't bath her, very very very rarely goes to her at night- maybe a couple of times a month when until a few days ago she had been waking 10-15 times a night for months. I think he's fed her probably 2 or 3 times since she's been weaned, and he normally gets bored and wants me to do it . I even feel guilty for leaving him with the baby monitor while I get a shower while she's asleep! A lot of the time I go to my Mum's to shower since she loves spending time with Daisy.

Katie - its hard isnt it. I have the same issue. Kerry has never had Alex on his own, never fed him - milk or food, never got up for him, never bathed him. i've never left Alex with anyone. He's now very much a mummy's and sisters boy and I'm really worried cos when I go back to work I start at 7 and Kerry will have him for 2 hours before nursery. I think the longer it goes on, the harder it gets. Silly when its their Dads!

 

[maybebaby3]

i think they get used to us doing everything. danny has bathed owen once and never fed him. he helps a bit more with the other two like scrubbing them in the bath sometimes but i think he cant handle the baby bit. maybe its my fault for not insisting. he throws in my face that i wanted to bf and that is why apparently owen wont settle with him!!! oh no its not the fact that u dont hold him right the way he wants when he wants to sleep etc!!! men!

 

[maybebaby3]

amy what r ur workin hrs?

 

[A3my]

maybe - I'm hoping to condense my hours slightly so I'll do 7-4 Mon-thurs and 7-5 every other friday. Kerry and i work for the same company and he can condense his hours and have alternate Fridays off too so we can take turns with Alex. god knows how that will turn out as he also thinks everytime alex cries he wants a BF

I know its completely my fault I havent pushed him into doing more, its becasue he didnt want Alex and so I feel i have to do everything, even though he loves him now he's here. He doesnt even help with the older girls too, he just shouts at them.Just lately his swearing has got awful. its effing this and effing that

ladies, nipping in briefly before I have to go out for baby yoga. I am really busy at the moment and I am really missing having the time to post properly

Emera I really hope that Roh gets better soon and that you managed to get some sleep/rest last night.

Sarah & Modo - it would be great if you could both work from home whether it is on a self employed or employed basis

Amy - I had no idea you and Kerry had been through so much. You are one strong lady

H&F - I am so sorry you are having such a tough time with Dave at the moment I have had to really start pinching my pennies now and have been doing what maybebaby says and having friends over for lunch. This is however through choice and not because my hubby is telling me.

L-C - yay for Will

Katie - I was having the same issues with my hubby and him looking after and interacting with Joni in the summer. He was fantastic after she was born and was doing 50% of feeds/changes etc when he was at home. After his operation he could do nothing to help for a month, but even after he was better he was happy to sit on his laurels and let me do everything WHen I had all the trouble with BF, Joni's digestion and pnd raised its ugly head I gave him no choice other than to step up and get involved He is much better now and I feel confident about leaving him with Joni, it has been a long road though!

Righto - got to dash, sorry if I have missed anyone. Have a lovely day all

 

[maybebaby3]

hi all! at my mums now as taking erin to dance in an hour and the studio is just up th road from here. owen seems to be teething badly again today and is fine for a while and then screams as if he's been pinched! if he does it one more time will give some nurofen. i can see the teeth just below the gums but i have been able to for months!

h&f - hope u r ok

frufru - well done for making your DH see the light

emera - hope roh is better

katie - i just think men in general are useless with babies. my OH is better with the older 2 by far. now owen interacts more he does play with him sometimes as he likes making him laugh! for babysitting the baby i ask my mum or mil but OH will stay with the others and sometimes once in a blue moon take them to the playground.

 

[hope&faith09]

Hey all -

just a quick post from me ... about the lunch I went I only spent £6.50 and it was out of my account. I have organised going to see my nan in hospital tonight as she is having the pacemaker fitted tomorrow but I have to bath, feed and sort Amy out ready for bed before I go.

Will hopefully update properly when I get back.

[emera35]

We are home, Roh is improved, i'm knackered, thanks for all your well wishes, post soon! :hugs

 

[modo]

Emera: I am Roh feels better soon hon.

Amy: I hope Emily is feeling better

Sarah: Well done to Oliver with his crawling attempts! I am sure he will do it soon I hope your parents have a nice stay Its a good idea to take Oliver to see a GP just in case.

Amy, Katie, Maybe: I am sorry your OH's are not supportive. My OH refuses to change poopy nappies if I am around but he will generally feed, play and care for Bobby if I ask (he does sometimes groan but does it). It really isn't acceptable for them to do this

Amy: I hope you get the condensed hours! You have been through so much and I can't believe how strong you are

Frufru: glad your partner helps more now!

H&F: Good luck hon

 

[modo]

Glad to hear Roh is doing better hon!

 

[A3my]

frufru - hope you enjoyed baby yoga

maybe - how is Owen? any sign of that tooth? xx

emera - I'm so glad to hear Roh is home hope you get some sleep tonight

H&F - I hope things go OK with seeing your Nan, I'm sure she'll really be pleased to see you. I hope her operation goes well

modo - any sign of Bobby's top teeth? He and Alex got their bottom teeth at the same time - Alex's top gum is all swollen and I'm wondering when they'll pop through.

Emily was off school again but she was a lot better by the end of the day. i had another day stuck indoors though and consequently I have stuffed my face

 

[emera35]

Argh, i'm so tired, and i wnt to kill my OH! he's winding me up so much! I know i'm tired and stressed so therefore a little bit snappy and irrational, but he's just such an asshole when he's tired! And he's had more sleep than i have. He's been a grumpy git all day since we got Roh home, he went straight on his computer then bothered to come off to do Roh's bath and bedtime, Roh wouldn't go to sleep and i was cooking dinner, and could just here Roh crying and crying, He'd just finished feeding him and plonked him in the cot, turned the light off and lay down on the bed himself! I went in and asked him what the problem was and he just said "he doesn't want to go to sleep"....um pick him up then?!? Just leave a sick baby crying on his own?!? I was so mad! I told him to go away and relax, and i settled Roh and made dinner, which i didn't get a thankyou for, then he moaned over dinner how he's not getting anywhere in his computergame because he can't play it often enough And then Roh woke up again, and i went to settle him, he was really dry and croaky, so i was giving him a BF on the bed. After 10 minutes OH came in and said "how long is this going to take, because i want to go to bed" ..... Anyway, i've moved Roh over to my side of the bed, and him and OH are sharing the bed. I've had a little cry and now i'm feeling sorry for myself and needed to rant somehow! Sorry, anyway i'm seeing everything in a bad light because i'm tired....jeeez, i hateHATE my OH when he's tired though i'd rather never sleep again and let him sleep each night than have him miss one hour of sleep!

Oops, i really went on... man i need a hug, i'd have a glass of wine, but i dare not incase Roh gets worse again

 

[A3my]

emera - men and their bloody computer games!! I'm currently suffering mine playing on his. I'm sorry your OH gets like this when he's tired - mine is exactly the same when tired - completely selfish and thoughtless. poor little Roh and poor you could you have a very small glass of wine and savour each sip? and more
