deancey - you're lucky that when you go back to work that they will at least be flexible with your start times. It sucks that you have to go back so soon, but at least you can have that option to start when you get there, not at a strict set time. Hopefully you and Liam will get a set routine happening with the feeds when it suits you both, but don't push it. Babies just have NO concept of time, do they?? haha!

Jess, you have every right to vent and complain (though you aren't really). You need an outlet for the frustration, and that's exactly what this forum is here for. Every bit helps, as long as it gets you communicating and not bottling it up inside and feeling guilty or something silly like that. You're doing it tough, and I give you credit for dealing with 2 kids who are both at difficult stages in their little lives at the same time! I can't really offer any advice (I'm a newbie at this mum business!) but I can certainly offer sympathy and support. I hope you can find something that works for you and your kids, and it will all be sorted and over with soon. Remember it's just a phase, and it will pass. There will come a day soon that you will be able to look back with pride at how well you coped with such a crazy time.
Nothing compares to Chrissy's situation, it's heartbreaking and tragic. I have no idea how anyone could find the strength to carry on when something so sad happens, for themselves, let alone their kids, but that's what so many mothers all over the world have to go through so often. So many times I hear guys saying they're the strong ones (my ex husband was always cr@pping on about it - hence the "ex" bit!) but they often don't have half the strength it takes to be a mother, let alone the courage to be a woman in this world! My heart goes out to Chrissy and her kids.
so whinge away. There will always be another woman who understands, or will at least listen to you. And usually there will be someone around here who will have some good advice.

I should remember this is not my personal blog and rack off now... there's laundry to be done! And the stupid laundry fairy got all feminist and militant, started a fairy's rights movement and shacked up with the kitchen fairy, so now I have to do it myself.
