IK ..Uuuummmmm.....(big long sigh)...??.....Doesn't matter, I hope you had a good day. Donna, Men will be men, They are all the same, lol. No I don't think you're being unreasonable. Men as a species are selfish, self centred and inconsiderate of other, unless they are reminded and prompted to act on cue. Even the best of them, (of which DH is a member, lol) sometimes slips into the selfish mode, it's as much apart of their makeup as being thoughtful and compassionate is apart of ours. (PMSL) Marry him and train him well, lol.
With a new baby, new roles and a wedding to plan it is no wonder you're bickering, it will pass, just pick your battles take a deep breath and sigh at the rest. It will all fall into place.
Thinking of you babe. IK, I would leave a clothy on him and see what kind of design he could create for his nappy. You might be onto something, Arty Clothys by Oscar, aged 7 months, (little giggle)Oowweee with the clampdown. Nathan hasn't done it for a couple of weeks now, finger's crossed he got the memo that I'm not afraid to bring out the bottles, lol. Still B/F strongly here, so happy about that, but am a little worried about doing prac later on in the semester, a whole month He'll be roughly 11 months, I might have to be selfish myself and give him a cup of milk instead. We'll see when the time comes.
Hey Nickers, we posted at the same time roughly, hi.

: just saying hi...Hi
Thanks Nic & Dee! I know we will be ok, its just hard trying to understand men sometimes. DF is one of those people who has an opinion on something and if you dont agree then YOU are in the wrong. Its starting to drive me crazy.
Age gaps between kids:My sister and i are exactly two years apart (we have the same birthday) Mum had a miscarriage in between and it took her a few extra months to fall Pg with me so she would have had two babies very close. She said that she would have loved that. Another friend of mine who had her baby one week after i had lachlan is now 2 months pregnant so her two are going to be approx 14months apart!!! Now thats a handful!
I do believe that if lachlan was a more settled baby i would be thinking about trying myself but at the moment i think its the last thing i will be doing!
Oooh, Dee, my situation is so similar (not sharing a birthday, though, that's really cute!) - my mum lost a baby in between my sister and I, and I believe that she would have lost her sanity that much sooner (LOL!) if she had had that child. Still, it would have been nice to have a brother. There was another after my sister, but that was ectopic, so there was no chance of any others, close or far, after that one. I think it's wise for you to spend time with Lochie, figuring each other out before having another. Re: DF, your relationship gives me weird vibes, to be frank, and that's only based on what you have said on BB, mind you, so don't be too alarmed - only you know what the go is with you two, and you need to act on your instinct about the matter. I'm not going to tell you that it's just the stress that's got you having doubts, because I don't believe it - you shouldn't go into a wedding, which leads to a legal committment, at each other's throats and feeling belittle, devalued, unheard, unvalidated. You've been through heaps with Lochie and are making such great progress...DF should be your cheer squad, but I just keep reading that he thinks he is the hero for 'putting up with it' and that you just need to 'get over it'. You said it yourself, he elevates his own interests over yours, and even Lochie's. I think you've got a lot of thinking to do, and trust me, I really want you to be happy *hugs*. If DF could get over himself, it would bode well for you to be together to raise your boy and have fun doing it It would break my heart if he broke your heart, Dee.
DP has a rice pudding in the oven...yum! I have resisted buying the tinned variety cos I know how good the real thing tastes and I keep telling myself I'll make it, but I keep forgetting. But I didnt' today. After the power went off (numerous times...underground powerlines would just make too much sense up here in the hills, what a STUPID idea...), I heated up a dinner I had cooked two days ago (on purpose, for today - I'm not usually so well-prepared) on the stove, and asked DP to cook the pudding. He had just said he wanted to cook a dessert and I jumped on it with my request!
An early night might be in order if the power goes out again, even though we have a kero lamp for light.
Update: The back room now has visible floor space...I might even be able to study in my study next week...but I won't hold my breath...
It would break my heart if he broke your heart, Dee.
