Gilz, I have to say leaving your baby is such a traumatic experience, I know that sounds dramatic but its awful the first time, that the only person who should decide when your ready is you! Noone else! My mum had James for the first time overnight not that long ago if you remember me talking about it. At the end of the day I didnt have kids just so someone else can take them off me If you decide thats completely different! And why cant they just be content with doing stuff with all of you? Why do they have to have him on his own?

I am having to leave Lottie soon as its my bestest friend in the whole world's hen party, I'm dreading it, and if it was anyone else I just wouldnt go! In fact I'm thinking of taking her with me as the day stuff I could do, but its on a boat and then I started panicking about that even though its a cruiser type boat whoa totally went off on a tangent then lol.

SK I was an emotional wreck for ages after having James, I am actually surprised M didnt walk cos I was a psycho bitch lol. Bless him.

Glitz, blood is a bitch to get out. Did you try a stain remover like Vanish? I just used it to get paint out of my fav top

 

[sequeena]

Just seen the news on FB congrats Peanut!!

 

[Ozzieshunni]

I had to run over to Facebook to see what the fuss was Awwww! As if I wasn't weepy enough after reading another June baby birth story!

Sequeena.......we have baby/pregnancy/hormone brain......PB has been married for a while.

Pinkclaire, i was trying to(again) explain about leaving youre baby for the 1st time to my husband, but he just doesnt get it, and doesnt understand, and i said to him "i can see its not the same for you men" and he said no it wasnt. Im still astounded that he expected me to leave Bailey at 5 weeks!, and to add insult to injury with someone i dont trust either. Im not going want to leave him with someone at 5 months but i know i'l have to at some point otherwise if we dont have "Us time" he'll get seriously p issed off. Personally im happy with all 3 of us together.

I said to him "i cant believe you expect me to leave Bailey at 5 weeks"...his reply " well i must admit if forgotten he was 5 weeks, seems like longer"

I have to go to the dentist at the end of the month, my teeth are gross after not being able to clean properly with gagging and bleeding gums through pregnancy", ive asked my dad to keep an eye on bailey for 1/2 hour for me, im not even looking forward to that!, and thats with someone i trust and only for half hour!

Lol you dafties! Check out my wedding album to refresh your memories.

Shit about the period Gilz, mine were AWFUL after Byron was born. Sooooo long and heavy and painful. As bad as my teenage periods when I would often leak. Madcat I always carry a pad with me just in case, even when pregnant.

loopy you silly lady. Take it easy now til the bleeding stops.

You ladies bring made to follow numbers should tell your hv's you'll call them if you need them. Numbers mean nothing. You think women throughout our past have measured everything their babies do? As long as your baby is well and growing it doesn't help anyone to be stressing about numbers.

 

[sequeena]

Peanut is a flipping tease!!

 

[madcatwoman]

i knew what you ment peanut on FB lol, its where you 'did' get engaged, not just! lol

ive no idea when to expect a period now but i will be carrying a pad and hope i realise in time because i'll be so embarrassed if im out and have gilz's experience!!

 

[Ozzieshunni]

Like I said, Sequeena and I are just overtired and sore. It messes with our brains

 

[molly85]

girls shove pads in your changing bag lol
PB you got engaged on a hill with the same name as harry potters ancestors( nerd I am)

Cat how do you get him to nap in his basket???? abby will only now sleep in my arms or the wrap during the day or she screams. she is ok in the bounct chair but slipped over when i was in the shower earlier and there wasa head at a wonky angle incident.

being on your own with baby is far easier than having baby with a OH on nights when you want to do bits like changing sheets you can't til they are up and thats usually at feed or scream the house down time.

 

[sequeena]

Like I said, Sequeena and I are just overtired and sore. It messes with our brains

Yes I quite agree

Ladies you are so right to trust no one! i have a fear of my boy falling down stairs not just any stairs the stairs you find in peoples gardens made of concrete . . in fact i have a fear of ME falling down those let alone babies. . . .anywho today i get told stop being so overprotective so i turn my back for one second to say i am not over protective just sensible and what happened in the one second i wasnt looking my boy . . .falls down the concrete stairs . .ffs! he now has a massive graze on his head looks awful got such a telling off from dh . . . didnt go to emergency because he didnt bang it just grazed it slightly against the wall, no other symptoms but am disturbing his sleep every hour to make sure he is still fine, been 12 hours since already and is behaving completely normally but . . my point is if i am being overprotective and it still happens what would happen in the company of people who havent been in charge of a toddler since well they had their own? i see things others dont like oh i put the iron up high its on top of the fridge, yeah but the lead is trailing over the door slightly all it would take is for himto open the door a little and bang . . . i would totally not trust anyone to look after my boy properly to the level i would look after him myself and he is a toddler with no health problems! i can totally understand not wanting to leave a newborn alone with anyone! it is amazing how much you think your parents remember but they totally do not! wanting to leave my boy unsupervised on concrete steps bah! accidents happen with supervision bad ones happen with none!

other than that had a nice day, leo quickly cheered up after his fall and enjoyed playing with all the animals my mums partner has at his, had a bbq! yum yum! now just going to relax all evening . . .

have to say totally bored out of my mind on mat leave now . . . especially when dh is working and ds is in bed! i am fed up of emptying boxes and cleaning but other than that there isnt anything else to do! i want my girl here! lol

 

[tas1]

Claire I am like you if I wanted to have kids for someone else to look after then I'd hire a nanny! I never wanna go out coz I live spending time with my boys it's my ideal day spending the whole day with all of them! And we get us time on a night with kids are asleep and I find if we do go out I'm always texting my mum seeing how they are (haven't been out since having caleb) or I always think ooo I can buy nappies at that price lol I feek much happier when caden and will be with caleb are with my parents I hope how they brought me up lol

Xx

 

[madcatwoman]

Molly, for some reason Bailey will not nap in his basket in the mornings, or after 7am in the mornings(for a lie in), he wont nap in it in the evenings either,-only in my arms. But for some reason, if i feed him, change him and put him in it for the afternoons, he goes to sleep!

 

[tas1]

Poor Leo hope he's ok! I hate it when caden hurts himself makes me feel sick!
Caden is so accident prown,we took him to this tropical butterfly place and he fell in the pond luckily it wasn't deep but I have never moved so fast it was while I was pregnant,I've been even more over protective since! I cry everytime my in laws take him out for the day and I'm forced on that one coz apparently my parents see him more but at least they take me out with them so caden isn't on his own

Xx

 

[molly85]

ah i am not the only one with a pain ion the butt. i worry iam not doingit right or theres something up wit her but common sence brains says i am being silly.

 

[loopylollipop]

oh poor Leo! It makes you feel sick doesnt it, when they hurt themselves. It doesnt take a second for them to fall and hurt themselves.

DS rolled off a big double bed when I was on holiday when only a babe, it was the first time he rolled. I felt terrible. Luckily babies bounce pretty well.

Our 12 year old is rocking Dylan in the chair, looks so cute. 4 year old fast asleep. Ahhhh peace and quiet.

I got a fisher price Rainforest play mat/gym off ebay and Dylan loves it. He loves listening to the rainforest noises and watching the lights flash. Would def recommend it. They are super expensive full price (nearly £60) but we got ours off ebay for £5.50 as there are a couple of toys missing. We just bought a couple and clipped them on. Bargain

Watching out for one of Madlys seahorses!

Vbaby - been meaning to say - really felt for you when you were talking about Shay going to his little friends, and then having tea. Bless him. It sounds like he had a great time though! When my DS first staying overnight I couldnt sleep. I could see the house he stayed at from my front room window and I just sat there pining, worrying about everything!! Worse bit is when the hit teenagerdom and you have no idea what they are (really) doing half the time

 

[loopylollipop]

Gilz - I would have died of embarrassment. No advice re stain removal, I am rubbish

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

thats his problem! he is the most clumsey child! he gets it from me so i know exactly what to look for . . you know blades of grass lol i also know that it isnt his fault that he knocks over glass after glass after glass no matter where you put it but it has made me very aware that he can seriously hurt himself in a padded room lol lol lol ponds are like an accident waiting to happen around my boy!

also it is amazing how spending one day with people who you dont want to be rude to by being like er stop that and who make you feel bad for disciplining even though it is only naughty corner can affect your childs behaviour for weeks afterwards!

my son went out with me, my dad, my grandad and my sister the other day, my boy is one of those children that does not like people going up to him and piking him up and being all in his face, he likes to be asked do you want a hug, do you want to come over and say hi and if he doesnt then it only takes a couple of minutes for him to stop being shy and he comes over but people are so impatient! so my dad picks him up leo is going mumma mumma mumma help! so i say ahhh bless i think he wants to suss you all out first . . no he doesnt! dad and sis continue to get in his face and i say you are making him angry no he isnt angry he is having fun, no he isnt . ..what does he end up doing slap slap slap slap get off me slap slap slap, i then get oh he is ok when i put him in his naughty corner and he gets taken out within seconds and then starts slapping again . . .anyway the result of half a day of letting him get away with thinking slapping is ok again . . . a whole week so far of him slapping me! which he hasnt done for a long long long long time! not since well actually the last time he spent the day beating up people that get in his face.. . prob sil last summer!

dont let people look after your kids if you genuinely do not trust them and do not let other people make you feel bad for disciplining your children and do not feel like just because someone you love lots hasnt seen your child for a while doesnt mean they shouldnt listen when you say look thats enough he doesnt like it, yes you think it is fun but he doesnt so stop!

there you go there's katies parenting gone wrong coloumn for the week lol it takes one day of letting bad habits go and - well in the case of slapping - is probably going to take well over a month of hard naughty cornering to completely get rid of it! just like when they are bigger! hugs at bedtime until falling asleep just once can be catastrophic for the next week at least lol!
