Things I cannot say out loud....

[mumandco]

^^^^have you tried co sleeping just for naps just to try and regain some energy??

Dear oh I know zack still feeds often but sometimes it would be nice if I could go somewhere by myself even shopping would do! He's nearly 11 months he can manage a few hours without me he just needs attention not just watching you on the xbox
Also I would like to tell you that on the whole your an amazing daddy but can't tell you too much coz your head will go massive lok

 

[tommyg]

Wooohooo I've managed to catch up!

Loving cockwomble what a great word.

MrsPop your facebook stalker is scary. You've given me another reason to be wary off it. It worrys me posting photos of LO on it as you've no idea how it will be used in the future. Putting yourself in LO's shoes imagine in 20 years time your girlfriend being able to get a hold of your baby photos.

Love the idea of shooting noisey neighbours with waterpistol.

To the mums of new borns it does get easier trust me. I am now able to laugh at the night when LO was tiny, he wouldn't sleep or shut up I was nackered, DH was getting up a 4am for work with a 3hour drive to work I didn't want Dh kept awake incase he fell asleep at the wheel. So I was sat crying with LO in the spare room. DH came through to get us and all could say was 'I just want to put baby in the bin!' Lol!

 

[LockandKey]

to random people who hear my baby crying- no I don't give my baby pacifiers because she doesn't like them nor do I want to give her them anyway

-I know she's hungry, but I'm not too keen on exposing my bare boobs while I'm trying to walk down the road, I'm going to get myself to a more private area first before I nurse her

-Oh really? I would have never guessed my baby was crying unless you told me >.>

To the people giving me nasty looks- No I am not 15, I am almost 23, and I have been with my husband for over 7 years now

to my MIL- no I am not spoiling her because she isn't even old enough yet to know she is being spoilt. If I want to hold my child I'm going to hold my child.

to my best friend- no I am not going to leave her to CIO because A) she isn't yet old enough to understand, and B) I don't believe in that method.

to my other friend- no, you shouldn't have another kid because you can barely afford to take care of the one you have now. You are being horribly selfish, and it's not right or fair to ruin another child's life. At least get a good job first if you care at all about your children's futures.

and no offense to anyone, but I seriously can't stand those people who get themselves pregnant, and then expect their entire family and all their friends to do/pay for everything rather than taking responsibility for their actions. They are like leeches to those who pity them.

Well I feel better. Nothing like getting a good rant out of your system

I do this! It's brilliant =).

 

[Lettuce]

Lettuce, I wish he napped. I'll feed him and he'll fall asleep on my lap and I'll wait and then go to shift him and he cries so it's back to square one

Jenny does this too! I don't get why they don't want to sleep - I call them milk naps. Sometimes I go to my parents, feed her and give her to my dad while I rest! Tbh I've not had to do it in a while as jenny is sleeping better now. She doesn't sleep during the day, but much better at night! Xxx

 

[Ozzieshunni]

We cosleep at night already, btw. Trying to break that habit, but it's just so much easier!

 

[chichestermum]

To the random old woman in the chip shop,

STOP TOUCHING MY BABY!!!!! I don't know you. And no, today (ie at you) is not the first time she's smiled - she's been smiling since she was 4 weeks old. Before you get excited, she also smiles at the wall, the sofa and the lampshade. She is just a happy, smiley baby. She doesn't "like you" as she will smile at anyone, or anything!


To the interfering bag at the traffic lights,

I'll be sure to tell her neuro-surgeon that I've put her at risk of SIDS by sleeping her on her side, shall I? Should I tell him before or after he's removed the golf ball sized cyst on her spine that prevents her from lying on her back? You know nothing about me or my child, so feck off, cockwomble (still using that one!)


To LO's heart murmour,

Feck off as well. She has enough to cope with in the next year without you as well.


To OH,

Yes, I will put her in her Blackburn Rovers babygro today. No she IS NOT going to the match with you - she is 7 weeks old! Be sensible for once!

i dont know whether to laugh at the fact that he thought a football match was a suitable palce to take your 7 week old or say aww to the fact that at least he was thinking of her and not went into typical man football mode were they dont think of anything but the game lol! xx

 

[MrsPOP]

Tommy, oh I know I'm totally paranoid about FB. I love it because all my friends live far away so I can keep in touch with them and I make sure my security settings are high because of the paranoia but after crazy psycho lady I'm even more paranoid. It's hard to know initially who's psycho or not. This lady is one of DHs best mates fiancée so we were being nice accepting her friend invite but a couple of DHs friends came over last week (who are married to each other and lovely) and they are really irritated with her too as she's so intense and won't leave the girl in that couple alone. I feel sorry for her as she's moved far away from her family and friends but she's waaaay intense.

Also my 13 yr old niece has had her laptop taken away by the police t'other day as her sister was snooping on it and saw some paedo had been grooming her!!!!!!!

Urgh.

Anyway. Lol I used to be so anti co-sleeping but I've had to resort to it a few times. Not all night but a couple of hours in the morning when she's fractious. It worked great this morning for 2 hours

i've done the same with bella on many occasions (not so much now, she's far too wriggly & squirmy & wants to climb all over me & uncover my belly & laugh at it...).

dear oh,
no, you don't have a sinus infection, you have a cold, just like bella & i have both had. & we didn't die from it, we carried on as normal. so stop moping around feeling sorry for yourself!
i love you really, thank you for letting me have an evening out without bella last night. i won't be doing it again for a long time which is fine by me, because i'd rather be home with her, but at least, almost 13 months after she was born, i've done it & people can stop looking at me like i have a vagina on my forehead or something when i tell them i've not been out without her through choice.
xx

 

[LockandKey]

why is it that when men get sick its like the end of the world? I had a bad head cold while pregnant and the only thing I could take was tylenol for it, and I still managed to cook, clean and do laundry.

He did at least come home and concede that it would have been too noisy for her! Really??? You think??? Men!

That is so scary about your neice. The bit that really scares me is 20 years ago the internet was never heard of nobody knew what emails were. Now we use forums to chat freely meet people etc etc What the heck are we going to be doing with it in 20 years time???

I know what you mean about facebook being great to keep in touch with family and friends. I am still wary of posting anything too personal on it though.

Yip I went through a phase of bringing LO into bed with me too esp in the mornings after DH had gone to work.

BRILLIANT wanting to take his 7 week old to the footy I've heard of taking them young ....at least he wants to take her. Could be worse when you read some of the fathers on here who won't look after their own LO's for 5 mins never mind time to get to the footy, watch the match 90 mins, 15 mins half time and get her home.

 

[tanya]

To my work friend, You were so smug when I stopped bf, saying "well I will deffo manage to bf and I won't fail or quit" your baby came three weeks after Flynn, I notice from your fb pictures that you are bottle feeding, how about apologising for making me feel even more shitty about a very hard decision then doing the same!
Also and I'm really sorry as I always believed all babies were gorgeous but I'm afraid out of 157 pics of her on fb not one of them is cute, I've showed them to a couple of people and they agree with me she does look a lot like robert englund (actor who played Freddie Kruger) also I noticed you have a lovely new baby swing, what happened to the one you bought off the guy at work? You know the one he offered to me and I wanted to buy but you insisted you just had to have and me being a dick let you buy it, I still can't afford a swing and I would have loved to have bought that one...
Also I told you Flynn was having Charles as a middle name and you said yeah I love the name Charley! But we laughed it off as we couldn't call our babies the same, well welcome Megan charley (btw you spelled Charlie wrong and i had it coz it was my dads name)
Also don't be all pissy at me because my dh worked his arse off to get a good promotion and works all the hours he can and we moved in with sil to mean that I can be a sahm, I know you want to be a sahm too but we have sacrificed alot to do it and you aren't willing to sacrifice anything so don't be pissed off and jealous of me!


To DH,
I don't want you to go on your training course next week and I know you have to and don't want to go and I know it's a condition of your new job but dont get pissed off when I get upset about it, Im terrified of being left alone with a 6 week old baby 24hrs a day for a week, also your son is just 5 weeks old just because your mum bought him an outfit doesn't mean he has to wear it today it's sized 3-6 months!! It's too big!! Shorts are not supposed to look like trousers! And the tiny baby clothes are in a bag right under the cot because they are far too small, to get that sleepsuit out last night you mist have climbed under the cot, much more difficult than opening the drawer and getting one that fits! Why did you then get upset that I wouldnt let him wear it, it's too small! He couldnt straighten his legs and it's too tight! I won't let him wear something so uncomfortable when we have at least 15 sleepsuits that fit!!

 

[tommyg]

Tanya My DH works away I think LO was about 2 weeks when I had my first night alone. I still find 4 nights to be a long time. Being alone won't be easy the biggest thing to deal with is the loneliness. Make sure you have plans to be out of the house and meet people. Prefiabley somebody diffrent every day. Won't be easy but you will manage.

 

[Kalah]

To the huge fat girl in the street today wearing hot pants:
Just cos it's available in your size doesn't mean you should be wearing it.... xx

Yep, there's a reason I don't wear skin tight clothes any more. Different styles for different shapes

 

[Kalah]

OH: Stop taking your shit out on me! I'm serious!!!!!! You wonder why I don't want to sit in your computer room with you when you're making stupid swipes at me every time you open your mouth because you had a shit day. Get over yourself. I understand things haven't gone your way lately. But you don't see me treating you like disposable shit every time something goes to hell for me. Take note!!!!

I understand this!!!

Sometimes I don't even want to talk to OH because he'll only say something in a ass-ish tone anyway. Like yesterday:
Me: (while looking through the sky planner to delete shows we'll never watch) "Do you want me to keep this show for you?"
OH: (In an aggravated/aggressive voice) "That's your show I didn't set it to record it's been there for weeks and you still haven't watched it I don't even know why you set it to record in the first place - "
Me: (I cut him off) "I asked do YOU want it! Simple answers for simple questions!"

Then he said "if it has keep next to it then I want it, if not it's yours to delete or watch"
Me: "ok then...so I can delete this movie?"
OH: "No I want that one..and that other one that doesn't have keep on it either..and that show that doesn't have keep on it"

 

[Kalah]

Totally raging at DH. Twenty more minutes? You want twenty more minutes of sleep? When I've been up every bloody two hours!!!!!!!!!!! I'll I asked was to change him and now I'm pissed off. I let you sleep this weekend and what did I get when I asked you to watch him while I eat? Five minutes of peace and then you bringing him through saying he's hungry! Eh no he's not he just wants to be heldinstead if being put inhis bouncy chair or tucked under your damn arm while you play fucking video games! Oh that pile of laundry that needs folded? Shove it up your arse! He cries because he wants to be held. I'm not spoiling him in any way! He's a baby ffs!!!! Also STOP bringing him through when I'm having a bath perhaps the ONLY tine I have to relax!!!!!!!! He doesn't need to see where I am! You're his father. He knows he's safe! And after two months I need to tell you how to soothe him? FUCK OFF!!!!! I don't even have the energy to cry! My ear hurts and I'm all stuffed up! I get I chose to bf but I don't need constantly reminded that I'm the one that can feed him! Be more supportive you jackass!

Wee man I love you to bits but why did daddy get your first giggle? Im with you lots more than him

Men..

And I know how you feel about the first giggle, so far Kili has done ALL her first for her daddy!!!!! Every single one of them! First smile..daddy, first word..da-da which she now says as dadin and definitely says it directly to him but won't say mom! First giggle..dad, first KISS!! DAD! First steps..first crawl..first everything, dad!

Thats the thing - he doesn't look after her! I'd be expected to go as well and look after her! At the moment I'm so tired I'd rather pickle my eyeballs in vinegar

 

[clarsair]

MIL : yes I did notice when you started to refer to yourself as 'Mummy' to LO before correcting yourself!
