Renee, good to see you! LP popped on a while ago and said that her partner had been in hospital, lost his job so they had moved to a smaller place and given the big girls back to their dad. She hasn't been back since though. Pregnancy is going well, not much morning sickness so it is much better than last time. Yay for TTC, not far away now!

MM, hope it isn't too bad with the IL's. Just act normal, it is her problem not yours.

I don't mean to give the wrong impression about DH, he is a great dad and looks after W heaps. I think he feels a bit restricted by having a small kid though because he looks after W from when he gets home from work until W goes to bed so he thinks I am having 'me' time but I spend all that time making dinner, cleaning up after dinner, folding washing etc. He also doesn't understand that just because the house is messy when he gets home doesn't mean I haven't cleaned it during the day. I am just sick of him telling me that I won't be able to cope with two kids when I can't keep the house tidy with one. Trill, they must learn it from their mums, MIL keeps her house spotless. He has offered to get a housekeeper (actually it was housekeeper or him move out ultimatium), but I resist because it is only something for him to hold over me ie I am so useless that we had to get a cleaner in so the house isn't disgusting. If only he would realise that it would be so much more productive to help tidy up for 10 minutes rather than spending the time telling me how lazy/useless/stupid I am then the house would be tidy.
