Yvette- Arron hates me being online, sees it as such a waste of time, and he doesn't see it as an outlet for me but rather work avoidence. Seems to think I should clean house all day cos then we would have a display home YEAH right! with 4 kids in it fat chance of that.
He also hates that I sell stuff on ebay with my mum, carries on that if it was a good business then I would make money and I don't get pd so it is a waste. I get so sick of hearing it.
But I will not stop doing what I want to just cos he is so selfish, I mean who has played footy for the last 25 yrs of his life and he didn't get rich off that, and fishing costs over $100 to take the boat in the bay run it and buy bait, so it is a cheap alternative to his pastimes.
I wish sometimes he could see things from different viewpoints, but he wasn't blessed with that gift LOL.
Well I just wrote in the VIC thread too aobut my poor Jemma, looks like she has what Angus has, started yesterday, I am sort of kicking myself cos she shouldn't have gone swimming on Thursday, it was too cold and he was starting to get sick then but too late. I am keeping her home this Thurs cos I don't want her to get sicker.
Gotta go and do ebay stuff, book work for it and listing stuff, need to eaarn more money so I can buy more things to sell LOL.
Best wishes Michelle

Angus is walking! He took 9 steps on Friday, then yesterday walked all the way accross the kitchen and back. So now he can wave, dance, cuddle, do proper crawiling, and walk. The kid is obviously a genious. He's also a snot machine atm, poor thing has a rotten cold, and now I have it too. I had a great little cleaning spree last night, and was feeling so energetic I wrote myself an ambitious list for today, but now I'm all snotty & miserable & vegging in my dressing gown while DH makes me honey & lemon drinks.
Hope Jemma feels better soon Michelle. As for handling husbands, if only I knew how to I'd write a book and be a gazillionaire. It's so hard to make them understand how you're feeling sometimes. We muddle on or put up with nobody to cuddle. Lindsay reads all my posts too, so I can't even ***** about him to other people without him knowing, lol.
Where's the women only 'how to handle your bloke' thread?
-
LOL Yvette " how to handle your bloke" I was thinking more allong the lines of "the biggest baby of all" Throwing bigger tantrums than the littlies thats for sure!!!
Chris got a new Holden Astra, hatch, which I got to drive into the city today, was my nephews Christening, his mother is greek ( my SIL) so its like a wedding, had to be there at 12 and only got homea t 6.30 am buggered!!!

HI girls,
I have posted my congrats to Angus in the Vic thread, well done ANGUS!
Bummer on not being able to ***** about Lindsay Yvette, but I'm sure you wouldn't need to anyway *wink* LOL.
If there was a book about husband handling I would have the first copy and it would sell out bf it hit the shelves LOL.
I had a great buy at an online kids clothes shop. 8 items delivered for $101, and in that there is a coat for Jemma, a pair of shoes ea for Jemma and Jessica, a hooded top and a pair of pants and also 2 bodysuits for Jessica. Don't you love when they have 30% off and you find out before the sale ends? I will be watching the mailbox like a hawk now.
Vanita- It will be nice to have a zippy little car and then your van, gives you something different to drive every now and then. Now when is your car ready? What a long Christening, I have only ever been to a couple of catholic christenings and they weren't huge like your one.
A question about Christening, how many people have christened their bubs. None of our 4 are christened as neither of us were so it was irrelevant. my mum was catholic but hated going to church and decided that we could be the ones to choose if we wanted to be a part of a religion when we got older. Arron's Dad was actually an alter boy in his church, I think Roman/catholic (don't quote me on that) as he was from a latvian background, and Arron's mum was church of England, but they didn't christen their 3 kids either.
Anyway, I must go, Arron fell asleep watching Star wars so i thought i'd check out what was happening and then head off to bed.
See ya Michelle

My kids havent been "christened" but have been baptised in the Uniting church, DH is not sure what he believes in, but knows there is a god, and I am not religous, but am spiritual IYKWIM???
Catholic christenings, are big, but nothing compared to the greek orthodox ones!!! I mean you get bombonaires, placecards etc, at the reception, its sooooo much like a wedding!!!

Hi guys,
I'm gonna write that husband handling book one day, just as soon as I get my husband 'handled", lol.
Some people just love big dos for Christenings & namings & stuff like that, and I can see why, but it's just not my thing. We're not religious at all (not that you have to be to do it anyway) and none of my kids are baptized or christened. I suppose we think of ourselves as kind of spiritual too, but I think the way I feel it keeps changing.
I do love the idea of ceremonies though, an excuse for a party, and a way of marking an occasion. We've already set a precedent though, so if we did a naming ceremony or something for the new kids it wouldn't seem fair to the other kids.
I have decided to do a little afternoon tea thing for the girls when they get their first period though, (but what equivalent will we think of for Angus?) and I always do Christmas, including a roast on the best china and all that. We always get my family together for the kids birthdays too. We're trying to develop our own family traditions as we go along. I can see these little things being a comfort to me as I get older.
-
Well us in the larger family forums must be extra busy cos this thread is mighty mighty quiet! LOL
Where are all the frazzled Mum's? I am here, doing the countdown till Arron leaves for QLD, on the 3rd. He doesn't get back until the 7th so it will be interesting to see how I feel by then. I think the key to sanity will be to not care whether the house is spotless, although Mon night I have people coming for the Wall buddies demo, so it will have to be clean then!
Any tips for aking the single parent experience calm and not crazy?
Cheers Michelle

I found it tricky in someways "single mumming it"In others it was heavenly IYKWIM. Meals were simpler, kids arent as fussy as Dad, I kept a very strict scedule, ( DH lived away for 4 months whilst training to be fireman, I only had the twins, and was pg with #3, but was working4 nights a week) I had the kids bathed and fed, and "readers" done and in bed by 8, so it was lovely and quiet in the evening, and did lots of scrapbooking!!!! I found it hardest when I wanted to get stuff done, and there was no one there to keep an eye on the kids for 1/2 hr.
Make sure you make some "you" time everyday thats the only way I coped IYKWIM!!!
