Things I cannot say out loud....

[MissFox]

Apparently you can in California. Have to look more into it though

 

[LadyRoy]

OH please don't wake me up when you get back from recording the sunset. I'm sure it looks great but I don't need to sit by your side with a tired baby to watch it before you come to bed. Looking forward to seeing it tomorrow tho xxx

MIL the reason I wanted OH to pop round tonight was so you and he could spend some time together without you being distracted by the baby. Now you are coming round in the morning I will have to get up early and tidy and have my shower before lunch, your sun usually lets me have a lie-in if I have been awake loads so now I can't have one . Also my mum hasn't seen the baby since she was six weeks old and I am getting a little bit jealous of that fact. In the other side I am really lucky that you are a lovely person and make great jam x

 

[divadexie]

Dear OH- I am starving and I have 4 dogs to walk, but its OK, you are out enjoying yourself!!

Nana- don't ''where have you beeeeeeeeeen?!'' me when you called and I wasn't in, I do have a life and don't just sit at home all day!!

 

[MrsPOP]

Argh, Ive totally lost track with this thread sorry ladies!

Dear ASDA baby event - damn you for making me spend so much!!!

Dear OH - Thanks for finally giving it up and paying me some bedroom attention, your constant rejecting me was making me feel repulsive.

Oh and every time LO cries, she isnt hungry. Thanks for looking after her today on your day off but you've totally ruined her feeding schedule and she'd *just* started to get into a good pattern!!!!

Dear ASDA baby event - damn you for making me spend so much!!!!

It's awful isn't it! You pick up bits & pieces, "Oh that's only £6" "Oh that's cheap" & you get to the till it's "How much???!!!!" I don't ever take my DH as he would have a heart attack!

To my DH: Please can you learn to count? I made 8 chicken kebabs for 2 adults + 1 child, so how did you work out that you can have 5 of them leaving 3 for me AND Joshua? (I was feeding Jacob so left DH to serve his own tea up)

Fatal to let them dish up themselves!
Kalah, you go girl! (said in worse American accent, complete with cheerleader toss of the hair)
Miss fox, no advice- I'm the mental one in my relationship unfortunately, but xxx
Rant time...
Jenny, I know you are teething and your mouth is sore, but please don't bite down only nipples- it hurts, reaaaally bad! God help me when it's teeth!
Gazebo that we put up for the christening: please stay up!
Mil : how do you not know what a tray bake is?! xx

 

[lahma]

to my baby .. sorry you didn't have a better mom that can give you a good life

Hun, I'm sure you're doing just fine! This motherhood thing is hard, but don't be too hard on yourself. xx

^^WSS! It is really hard! Very few women actually find motherhood "easy" especially from the start, in fact I usually think women who say it's easy from the start are either lying or extremely lucky!

 

[Lettuce]

Or actually have a nanny.....

 

[tommyg]

Don't know where I read up to.

However glad we have made it south for a couple of weeks. Pissed off our new house still isn't ready, Scottish Power, please get your finger out your arse and get us a date.

MIL Please do not feed my baby Muller Light Fucking Yougart! Especailly when I am trying my bloody hardest to get him to eat proper food and no yougart is not proper food. It is full of saccerine and other sugar subsitutes - I'd actually rather give him proper sugar than chemical shit but at the moment I really really want him to eat proper food - NO SHIT!

sorry, going ot - don't know if you'd be interested or not to know that you can get yogurts just sweetened with fruit juice. it's one of hayden's favourites, and has lots of calcium. we get little yeo's, rachel's organics, or plum ones. only place to get them where i live is sainsbury's. my mother is hell bent on feeding hayden chocolate buttons. apparently i was weaned on them and it 'never did me any harm!'

Shambaby Have you read the ingredients on mullar light? They have replaced the natural sugars and fats with chemicals. However I went to the co-op today and got him some proper baby yougarts with fruit etc and no chemical crap I opted for ironically mullar ones as I knew what all the ingreadents were on the logic that if I knew what it was it wasn't crap. The bit that really got me the other day was I was trying to feed him some food when MIL started giving him her muller light at the same time - yes mince, mashed pototo and yougart all in his wee mouth at the same time. Oh and she did it with a metal teaspoon and at the same time telling LO "mummy's not happy" No your dam right I wasn't happy. The last thing I want is a baby who'll only eat sweet stuff or turn his nose up at everything else knowing that something sweet is just round the corner. ARRRRRR!

However managed to catch up with this thread - I've read from about page 90 - Kalah you are a brave lady good luck!

Other rants - passport people please let me get LO's passport so we can go away for a holiday.
I hate the digs it's too big, has damp - landlord please do something about the damp, it's impossible to keep clean. I really don't want to spend DH's time of work here or in the MIL's I want a holiday.
Man with the wee house round the corner - please drop your asking price to reflect the lack of double glazing, the kitchen that want's replacing, and the mamoth shower that is hidious in the bathroom - then we would buy it and get out of these digs. It is perfect but too expensive with the amount of work needing done!

Tell me about it! Last time I do that!

Mil : how do you not know what a tray bake is?! xx

Ermmm I'm probably going to sound really dumb (& set you off on rant maybe? ) but what is a tray bake?

 

[Lettuce]

Haha! Oh well, maybe I should have been nicer to her then... A tray bake is a type of cake thing- Like mars bar cake, rocky road etc. Something that's made in a tray and cut up.
My mil pretended she knew what it was, then tried to make pasta.... lol.
Maybe it was more the fact she said she knew when she didn't.

Ahhh never heard of them being called that before.

Mmmm Mars Bar Cake

 

[shambaby]

to me: stop eating so much chocolate. you have a serious problem. you actually weighed less than your pre-pregnancy weight shortly after giving birth, and now i bet you are over it and your work uniform probably won't fit when you have to go back in 3 weeks. seriously, get a grip.

 

[Ozzieshunni]

Little late but annulment requires both parties appearing before a judge and swearing the marriage was done under false pretenses or lack of consumation, etc. Looked into it with the ex, but I wasn't going to give him the satisfaction of hearing me say that kind of stuff on record. B*****

 

[shambaby]

to the government: how is it fair that my 17 year old niece, who lives with her parents and deliberately got pregnant because she didn't want to have to go back to college, will be getting very nearly as much money as i will for working 3 days a week in a well-paid, professional job? and when you take into account the fact that childcare will eat up half my money, she will actually end up better off than me. yes, we also have hubby's wage, but we have to pay our own bills, and buy our own food. i completely agree that the benefit system should be there for people in need, but surely there is a way to do it without making it such an attractive lifestyle choice? i desperately want to be at home with my baby, but we can't afford it, and i hate that i have to pay a ton of tax every month so that other people can choose to do just that!

(just want to say, i am only talking about my niece here. if someone claims benefits out of a genuine need, then you shouldn't be offended, as i have no issue with this - we did for a while when my hubby was made redundant. although, if you do it just because you'd rather not go to work, then i don't care if you are offended)

Yeah they really do give a ridiculous amount of money for benefits here. I'm from the US but I've been here in the UK for over a year now and my husband claims benefits and I was completely shocked at the amount of money we get. Although he's classed as disabled (mentally) so he gets more than most would. But when I was in the US I was homeless at one point and the only benefit I could even get was $200 a month for food, but if I hadn't already been signed up for that I wouldn't even have got it because you have to have a home address to get them in the first place! There was no free housing, no job seekers allowance, nothing. If they did it like that here there would be a lot less people purposely staying on benefits that's for sure!

 

[Emmy1987]

To OH- why did you get a job that made us move 2 hours away from everyone? And why do you think friends will pop out of thin air? Have you seen the people on our road? Even if I could I don't think I want to be friends with these people!

Also... I bought some cigarettes on Wednesday... I've smoked four... and enjoyed them... OH you will be pissed but it's not you stuck indoors on your own with an infant day in day out.

 

[tommyg]

Emmy sometimes you just have to go where the work is. But I know what you mean about being stuck somewhere on your own with a baby. Have you looked at baby groups in the area?

Shambaby totally agree the benefits are too high and enable people to make lifestyle choices. They should be a safely net for people in need but nobody should be better of on benefits than they are in work.

Kalah have you made it home yet?
