How are all you new mummies doing?

[Maud]

Gah. Just remembered I was invited to a work BBQ this week. Totally forgot and haven't even replied! Don't really want to go but know I should show my face. Will probably spend longer driving there and back than I will at the BBQ as I don't want to muck up LO's bedtime!

 

[mrssmith2011]

Aw bless you Maud. It's hard working round lo's bedtimes x

 

[Jojo84]

I'd just ring and say you can't get a babysitter.

Luke slept until 60 then went back to sleep again until 80

 

[Maud]

She would be going with me JoJo.

 

[T84]

Was awake 2-5 I wasn't even worrying for a change - my brain just would not switch off! To make it worse, it's my turn for my one and only lie in for ages and hubby put her back in bed after 45 mins of being up!! Of course she was babbling away over the monitor cos she wasn't ready for skeeping.. He just wanted back to bed grrrr. Grumpy Jen today!!

 

[mrssmith2011]

If you really don't want to go maud I know it sounds awful but you could always ring on the day and say that the LO is poorly and you are really sorry but can't go. Well done Luke. Joseph went to bed at 8.10pm and he had slept til 8.10am xxx

 

[mrssmith2011]

Aw no Jen that's rubbish. We both get up with Joseph so to be honest neither of us get a lie in. You might get one of us taking him into our room while the other one gets a shower and then swap over. This morning I grabbed a shower while hubby was still in bed as we were up at 6am. With Joseph sleeping in I have managed to pack hubby off to work, make some bottles, sort the washing out and have a bit of a chill out x

 

[StaceyRainbow]

At what she can you use bickiepegs does anyone know?

 

[Maud]

Hadn't heard of them but just looked them up and everything says 6 months + (which makes sense as they're made of wheat)

 

[Pumpkin9]

Hubby's pissed me off this morning. Second night of getting back in at 1am cause he's been drinking. I wanted to do some decorating today and so need him to look after Thomas. I finally wake him at 11 after I've been up since 8, have fed Thomas twice and walked the dog and he tells me to piss off cause I wouldn't leave the room until he physically got up.

I told him I wasn't impressed. Particularly as he said he'd be coming home at 11

 

[T84]

Id tell him he has to help with decorating now! that's a bit rubbish tho, it's not like you want him off to go galivanting! x x

 

[Jojo84]

She would be going with me JoJo.

I meant to get our of it if you don't want to go

 

[Mummybexee]

Home at 12.30 and no hangover ..... I've changed !

Gutted for your wedding dress and everything lost in the fire Hun- aweful!!

Glad you had a good night out stace!

I'd be pissed off too pumpkin not fair on you that

I've used Oscar to get out of social events - harsh but hey that's life!

 

[mrssmith2011]

At least your honest Bex. I would have killed him Kathryn x

 

[Maud]

She would be going with me JoJo.

I meant to get our of it if you don't want to go

I think they'd question why I would be prepared to leave her with a babysitter but not my husband (she's been invited to the BBQ but he hasn't)

Only just getting a second, everything has been crazy since splitting with Hayleys dad. Most of our stuff is still in bags, my ex is still making everything as difficult as possible. But I've stayed very civil with everything, he's refused to give me her highchair as his stepmum bought it. I told him it's Hayleys not his, but he said he needs it as "she'll spend half the time with him" Aye right!! She's not spending half of the week with him. He's also refusing to give me the rest of her 3-6 month clothes.

Think I'm going to go to the police station tomorrow but to find out my rights and the law. I have a text with him admitting he's stolen from me, but I don't want to have him arrested...I just want the rest of Hayleys and my own things.

He told me to buy a new highchair, then I asked for my moses basket back (this has been in our family for decades, my mum and dad used it for me and my big brother, my older cousin used it when she was born, my mums uncle used it for his 2 kids) so we want it back. and he said only if I give him Hayleys tinylove rocker. I said he can buy a new moses basket if he wants her to stay at his.

It's so tough as he's being such an absolute twat about it all. But it's making the actual breakup easier, as I know I'm so much better off without him. And Hayley is too.

Sorry to hear about the fire destroying all your belongings! But you are lucky that no one was injured, I'd never thinkk or worry about my home in a thunder store until now!

Hope all you ladies are doing well, and hope your babies are great too!

I have a monitor question. I need to buy one now as my mum and dad have upstairs & downstairs house but I have no money as my ex won't pay anything, and is stealing my money... but I seen this:

http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/angelcare-baby-monitor-great-condition/1073672577

It's one of the angelcare movement monitors, but can you use it for only sound too? Or do you need to use the mat.

 

[T84]

That's really good hon, yeah you can use just the sound. Sorry he is being such a dick, can you try phoning citizens advice rather than police? I'm not too sure on these things x x

 

[T84]

Spoke to hubby who's a PC and he says to phone citizens advice as it's a civil matter. Of you want to do something further about theft tho then police x x

 

[Kaedin]

Ahh ok thanks! I really don't know about this sort of stuff so really don't know how to handle it ect
