Vicky... I am sitting here crying for you, how horrid and awful. You know my father was so similar. Except I'm the one who phoned and he never did & when I called him on it he called me selfish and undeserving. These men don't understand that the world does not revolve around them.... and they are happy to blame everyone else for it. They are completely unable to see that they are at some blame & that they need to compromise in some way. I have had minimal contact with my father (twice in 8 years) and its been so much better for it.

Gigi - don't worry too much, Matilda only started on lumpy foods around 12 months. She just gagged all the time. Matilda also got her first tooth at 13 months. She did start walking at 9 though.... who knows. Jovie's got 8 teeth and has just started cruising...
