Hi ladies,
Limpets and babythinkpink I really hope you both feel better soon, seems the pregnancy related illness is starting to hit hard
LittleA great video!! It's so amazing isn't it!!
Pah, yet again I read all the posts and had something personal to say to everyone, and now it's all gone! I need to start keeping a pen and paper next to the laptop!!
Hope everyone is ok today, it seems to be a bit sunnier than previous days! I had a maaaaaaassive row with dh yesterday, he has days where he is really restless and NEEDS to do/buy something and he had one yesterday.... he decided that he wanted to buy an Xbox 360! And he would NOT take no for an answer!! I was so angry with him, I really felt like he had his priorities wrong this time and I told him so, we had a blazing row in tesco's car park and everything! We even rowed a bit in front of my stepsons which we do NOT do, I think it's so important that we are good role models for them and they need to see us sorting out differences etc in a mature way, not yelling and crying!!
Anyway, when I managed to get him to be a bit more reasonable, he explained to me that he has been thinking a lot about the fact that we are spending lots of money each month on the baby, and talking about her all the time, and planning things to buy, nursery etc, that he feels guilty for his two little boys that are getting pushed to the side a bit.... to be honest I don't think this is the case because they never want for anything when they are with us, we know that their mother plugs them into a playstation and leaves them there all day with no interaction/attention so we are always playing games/football/going swimming/bowling/painting etc.... but he said if we can afford it, why not buy something - a 'family' treat to enjoy with them and also to show them that it's not 'all' about the baby....
It's a difficult situation to be in for me, I love them both as if they were my own, goodness knows that we have fought for the last 3 years for residency over them - I would have them here full time in a heartbeat and I honestly believe I treat them like my own! Still, it must be hard for Wayne as he has to drop them off every Sunday with their mum... who is not a stable person..... and he feels like they automatically get a raw deal
Still, we found out the other day that we are having them the whole summer holiday.... literally picking them up from school onthe last day, and dropping them off at 6pm on the Sunday the 5th ready for them to go back on the monday!!!! Only thing is, the 5th is my due date! It's a 5 1/2 hour round trip to Kent and back, I don't fancy sitting in a car for that long at 9 months pregnant, nor do I fancy Wayne being gone for that long so close to things happening!!!
Anyway.... sorry for the long rant, felt like I needed to vet a bit! xxxx
