saph, i use a hugabub when Ash is particularly feral either through over tiredness or reflux. i love it, it's very good on my back, which has caused me problems for many years. i can walk around and potter about in it but i don't do a lot of house work cos he gets int he way ie can't reach the stink to wash up lol. hope the doc helps.

neptune - that's great about having an out of your parents place. it might embarrass him into doing something if he knows that everyone else knows. you could not do it as "i'm leaving you'' but "i'm going away, I need a break and i need things to change dramatically while i'm away or we'll have to consider different living arrangments permanently''. If you went for just a week or two it might jostle him into action? maybe? Is there someone else who may get through to him. Have a little chat mano e mano.

oh dear have a tired bub all his squealing and chatting must be wearing him out lol.

back soon.
