Donna, I'll check out your thread soon. Just remember that to do nothing now can affect him for the rest of his life, just as doing something now can, too. It's how it affects (as in, negative or as positive as possible) him that will inform your decisions Whatever you do that is the best for you, as a person and a mother, is highly likely to be the best for Lachlan, too. One day he'll have a family, and I don't think you want him to have your current situation as his model of what a family is, or what parents should be like with each other when they are together, or what daddies should be like with their kids. Something has to change, remembering that the only person we ever have control of is ourselves
Our friend gave us a huge printer that has fax, printer and scanner - it's an office thing that they updated from and don't need anymore. Well, DP got it out of the car just before, put it on the rug to have a look at it...and ink leaked onto the rug. I would have just put vinegar on it, but he insisted he needed water too. I hope it hasn't ruined it. He then put it in the bath to soak. Better than leaving it to dry, I suppose, until I can google an appropriate remedy. Any ideas, anyone?
Mel - we're not doing the day spa thing this time. We found that last time we were too wanged out to enjoy the evenings together, and this time we'll be in a converted church with a gourmet's kitchen! We decided to just hang out and put on a feast in the evenings. Oscar will come as well as my friend's 2 month old.
Better go, Oscar is bashing the printer that I am hoping to flog on eBay!
