Things I cannot say out loud....

[Ozzieshunni]

Lettuce Can you afford not to or to take extended leave?

DH, there is no fucking way you are going for a nap unless you want me to kill you in your sleep.

 

[Lettuce]

Unfortunately not, we're in a 2bed flat ATM, and need to move before having another baby, so I need to go back. Besides, I do like my job, and want to keep my career, but she's just so little...

He better not take a nap!

 

[Ozzieshunni]

I know! I'm so lucky to stay home. I feel bad for a lot of US moms that can't spend these early months at home with their LOs.

 

[Lettuce]

I know I should complain, ive had 10months off! but it's still too little. It's terrible in the US.
I'd love to be a SAHM but I have a good career and will need it in the future.

 

[BabyBoo36]

I feel exactly the same Lettuce. I go back in just over 3 weeks and I'm dreading it. I'll have had 11.5 months off when I go back and I just don't want to go at all. I could cry even thinking about it. I really want DH to get a better paid job so I can drop more hours (I've already dropped a day) but realistically, that's not going to happen, so I have to get on with it.

 

[Lettuce]

it sucks. Xx

I moan about this country but I really am lucky to live here and be able to stay home with Maria.

I'm very lucky to be able to stay home with Molly. Although we have talked some about me starting a dayhome thing when she is older, to bring a little extra in.

for Lettuce and BabyBoo.

 

[Natsku]

Wish I could do that but I think they are very strict on qualifications here

 

[Ozzieshunni]

DH, threatening not to come swimming with us today and to get Alex's first pair of shoes because you want to sleep is not cool. I don't want any more kids with you which hurts me more because I love children and I did want another one. Now, I don't. Thanks for making me feel like crap. I've done EVERY SINGLE NIGHT SHIFT for NINE MONTHS! And don't pull that bullshit that if he were in his room that you would do them. We both know that's a flat out lie. Now, I'm sitting in the living room crying and Alex is looking at me and he doesn't understand why I'm so upset I hate you. I really really hate you.

 

[Natsku]

why does he want to sleep?

 

[Lettuce]

(must be the most used smiley on this thread!) oh Ozzie, he's being an ass. Is Alex walking?!
I say gout and enjoy yourself, leave him a note to digest... Something along the lines of his selfishness is destroying his relationship with you and his son.

 

[Ozzieshunni]

He's pulling himself up on everything and wants to stand when we are out, so he needs shoes for then. He's still a barefoot baby at home

 

[Natsku]

Are you getting soft shoes for him? I used waterproof booties for Maria before she was walking confidently

 

[Lettuce]

Cool, I just let Jenny get her socks manky, maybe I should get her cruisers...

 

[BabyBoo36]

I have to spend 3 hours with satan-in-law tomorrow for FIL's 80th birthday. Wish me luck.

After that I'm not seeing her again. Ever if I have my way x

 

[Lettuce]

Earplugs? And a stress ball?

 

[BrokenfoREVer]

Babyboo... Just blank her totally & completely. Your so much better than her, just rise above it. With any luck she'll throw a tantrum & show herself up
