Super quick while cooking tea - DH has been down tending to his beloved wicket so to punish him I told him we are having ham steaks for tea which he hates. I have really crumbed some veal snitchel (how do you spell it??) but i'm not going to tell him that. Evil..
Megan - the thread on Tom is in the Baby and Toddler general discussion under the title Discipline. Jan's advice is fantastic. Tom's hiting/biting seems to come out too when he is over excited or tired. Today was the first real proper aggressive go. Thankfully there was no more attempts to hit or bite for the rest of the day. The only tip I have regarding saying no is I find saying "Tom no" rather than just "no" works a little better because he seems to realise I am talking to him. Not always though. That tends to be for touching things, rather than his agro sessions

Thanks for the advice guys. I will return the nappies asap - so disappointed I can't get right into it!
Raels. Wish I could do something to help. Do you have any family and friends close by for support? Feel free to let the story out here if that helps at all, or PM or don't even think about it if that's better.
Megan, sorry but LOL at your baby-hicky! Don't you just love swimming for giving good sleep? The nappy talk IS confusing for sure. It definitely seemed like another language to me until I started doing a little research into it. I still glaze over a bit when I'm reading about it all sometimes...
Oh boy the days are dragging now lol! 15 to go and counting No signs of anything happening yet, bubs still quite active and constant hiccups too! Actually im getting a little scared/nervous now! On the DH thing, he will be home tomorrow night for 7 wks so will not be in contact with the other person and wont be going back to that mine to work as it closes down just after he is due to go back so he is being transferred elsewhere and its not the same place as her so that really helps. I have actually discussed the issue with DH and he realises that soon we will talk it out but for now we need to focus on me, ethan and the new bubs arrival. Im pretty certain we will get through it, but need a lot of changes happening, sadly it happened when i was pg with ethan too but nothing else until 2 months ago. Anyway wont babble about that anymore and will get on to some personals. (about time!!)
Em- Good to hear the schnitzel went down well! lol @ telling DH it was ham steaks. I am having a few issues with ethan at the moment to with hitting/pushing, his cousin is quite rough with him, she is only 5 months older, he never used to retaliate but just lately he is, he is more of a pusher than hitting. He is also being quite rough to me, he pinches, mainly my bb's, and he pulls my hair, but my mum and sister think that he may be doing it because he is picking up on the fact that something is going to happen soon (new bub) and is confused and as its only me and him the majority of the time thats why me, iykwim because he has never pinched anyone else or pulled hair. According to my sister her ds got like this just before she was due to have her dd. I will have to check out your other thread to see what others have said.
Raels- Hope your feeling okay hun, as the others have all said where here for you. Huge hugs, you will get there
Megan- I am very unorganised for christmas too lol I have most of ethans presents done but thats it! Oops But as you said it will happen. Usually we spend christmas day from luchtime onwards (have christmas at home first) at my parents with the family, when we moved in to our new place in feb, it was decided that christmas would be here as our entertaining outdoor area is quite big, but then i got pg and said no way am i hosting a big christmas here when bubs is due 2 days before lol and well now NO-ONE has made plans as there all waiting on me and bub lol!!
Okay, i got some done lol now my boy is awake! Will finish off later, having trouble sleeping now so i will more than likely be back
Goodnight for now ladies.
Oh Em - I just read your "discipline" post and got a bit of a lump in my throat as i know how it feels when you just dont know what to do! On Friday Lucas squealed all the way home from mothers group then i couldnt get him to sleep and he was so over tired. I ended up in tears because i was just lost. I couldnt get him to sleep in my arms or in his cot, i didnt know whether to just let him cry for a bit or what. DH got home and i was a mess! The stupid thing is we just left him up and he was fine and went to bed at 6.30pm. Anyway what i am trying to say is "i feel your pain". It is so hard sometimes not knowing what is the "right" thing to do and it gets the better of me too often! And when they start calling "mummy" well that's just too personal! Breaks my heart! I think you handled your situation perfectly!!!
