Times when you've had to bite your tongue

[AnneD]

Baby's waking up. I may or may not take her to the chippy and whip out a boob

If I were having a drink, it would be all over the screen now ha ha.

Woah! We're back up and running! I was putting lo to bed and watching some tv.
Another thing that annoys me is, being told "Why did you send out thank you cards for the gifts your received for your little one? It's kinda cheesy."
EH NO ITS NICE TO SAY THANKS!!

He wasn't originally Keith... He used to be called Effy and was a female... Until one day we caught him licking himself on the sofa

My mum knew a kid with a cat called 'Nascy', her dad named it apparently, it stands for 'Not Another Sodding Cat' with the 'y' to make it sound like a name.

When homeschooling parents rant about how rubbish schools and school teachers are, and their posts are full of basic spelling mistakes and bad grammar ('affect'/'effect', 'definately'/'defiantly' instead of 'definitely', their/there instead of 'they're', 'too' instead of 'to', 'of' instead of 'off', 'of off', and so on and on, the list is endless). Actually, I tend to keep my mouth shut pretty much every time this topic comes up.

Bite my tongue experience happened today, at Joann's fabrics. I went to check out and conversation went like this:

Cashier: oh, your baby is so tiny!!! Is he a few days old?

Me: He is about 4.5 months now- he came early.

Cashier: wow. He is so small. What's that box attached to him?

Me: because he's a preemie he needs an apnea and heart monitor 24/7 since he still has some apnea episodes.

Cashier: oh my god, I'm so sorry. Is he going to make it???

Me:.......yes......

Because its obviously common practice to send a dying baby home and I'd be walkin about the craft store with him who the hell asks that kind of question to a stranger with their baby anyway?!?

Spag bol is:

Spaghetti

Bolognese sauce:
Onions
Mince
Tomatoes
Kidney beans
Garlic

You can add other herbs and veggies into the sauce though, and I use baked beans instead of kidney beans.

That. Sounds. Amazing.

Haha, are you being serious?!? It is so easy to make. Do you guys eat mince beef over there? Saying that, we miss out kidney beans but put in courgette and peppers instead. It's yum, especially with some cheese sprinkled on top!

My mom named one of her cats Pita, pain in the ass, he wasn't her favorite kitty! Lol

 

[babydust1990]

If can persuade OH to let me have another kitten I am stealing the name pita!

I'm back. Lane was fed something.....American

 

[babydust1990]

The only American food I know is the stuff off man vs food

When my twins' doctor recommended we start solids now...when they're only 2.5 months adjusted age.

I demonstrated for her that both babies still have their tongue thrust reflex, and my boy doesn't have total head control yet. She said "Oh, ok, well maybe you should wait 3 weeks before you start introducing solids, then." UM...I think we'll be waiting more like 2 months minimum. Both babies are gaining weight steadily and staying on their growth curves, I see no reason at all to rush solids

Ive got one.My boss is a nurse and has been a nurse for over 20 years and has 6 kids of her own. I popped into work to officially give her notice that when i return to work i will be breastfeeding/expressing so will be needing extra breaks as per hospital policy. She countered with 'why are you breastfeeding when you return LO will be 6 months and BF past 6 months is medically recognized as causing heart conditions'. I was flabbergasted. I think my HV just about had kittens when i told her what had been said.

Yep, she is a true 'gem' and has made a number of lovely comments including 'we cant be dealing with you having another breakdown' and 'why did you get pregnant, you were just starting to get your act together' and 'you do realise that you probably wont be getting your expressing breaks when you return as the ward is very busy'. I was planning on breastfeeding til 9 months but damn now im looking at the 1 year mark and tough shit love im taking my breaks and she can go whistle dixie.
