nat - we have 2 dogs now. we have had honey since she was 8 weeks and got thor last year and he is 3 next month. its been great. honey and thor play alot of the time. thor doesnt play much with hamish but honey still does! you can guarentee that honey and hamish are never too far from each other!
afm, not much happening here. busy working and looking after the family. we spent most of friday night up with hamish after he decided that he was going to start vomiting everywhere!
OMG HC, what the heck?????? Do you think he's bluffing???? The first thing that came to my mind is that he's trying to scare you/to get smypathy, but do you think he could be for real? Hugs lovely, what an awful situation to be in
Whether he is bluffing or not it needs to be taken seriously. To say something like that he's not in his right mind anyway.
My mum attempted suicide when I was 5. She messed herself up pretty badly.
I truly hope he gets the help he requires as you shouldn't have to go through life like this. It's not fair on anyone.
Is there a temporary court order that you can get in the meantime that stops his access at the moment?
I know my Dad had one that meant my Mum could only see us in supervised visits by an approved person until we were 18.
Also, unless there is a court order in place saying so I think you don't have to let him have Indy. So you are able to keep him away until you have the paperwork all sorted you know?
It is awful that he has put you in this position. This shows you were right to stand your ground. He definitely sounds like he needs some professional help.
Rooey - what a horrible situation. Like Rach said, even if he is bluffing, it needs to be taken seriously - which it sounds like you're doing. That isn't the sort of thing a responsible parent would say, so your right to not want Indy to be in his care. I hope it all works out and you have a good support network around you.
On a lighter note, a friend from playgroup had her baby the other day. She came to storytime at the library this morning and bought her 3 day old baby. Apparently she went to the hospital at 6 but they sent her home, so she went back at 10, was admitted at 10:15 and had the baby at 10:38! That makes me feel a lot better about things, because I'm starting to get a bit scared about labour and having another baby in the house! I worry that Angus won't will feel left out, but at least my mother will be living with us full time. We pick up our new puppy on Saturday, so our current dog won't feel abandoned at least :-)
Just an update about our new puppy. We adopted a German Shepherd x Mastiff on Sunday and after a very difficult start she is getting on with our other dog. DS loves her and pulls her around the house telling her what to do! They are very cute together.
Been thinking lots about names and have two that we really like. I'm just not sure about the middle name now. It seems some people just choose a random name that sounds good with the first, but I'm used to significant middle names after others in the family. Mine is my paternal grandmothers name and I've noticed most people do that when doing my family tree.
Has anyone got plans for Mothers Day? We need to buy a new clothes dryer, but I also would really like a dyson vacuum now that we have 2 dogs! Maybe we'll have a look...
Each - yeah she's already 18kgs at 4 months. Our other dog is a Ridgeback x mastiff and 30kgs at 12 months - so I think she will be bigger than him!
Jemma's a lovely name! Our two favourites are Stella & Hugo - although DH is not too sure about Hugo as he thinks it's not strong enough.. I'd like o have my Mum's name as a middle name for a girl, but not sure as its a traditional Polish name (Bronislawa). Otherwise we'd use Evelyn (the middle name of both our great grandmothers). For a boy I'd probably use Alexander which has the same meaning as my Mums name and is the name she really wanted for DS.
Yay Rach - congratulations!!! One of my friends got engaged last weekend and she is about 9 weeks pregnant with their second bub. She's waiting until after the baby comes before they get married. I said it will be so cute as her dd (now 2) can be flower girl and her one of her bridesmaids can carry the new baby :-)
Huge congrats again Rach, I'm so happy for you guys! Haha, my DF says I'll never marry him, we've been engaged for 6 years! lol. I said I will when he'll give up the fags. I don't see that happening...
nat - good luck trying to pick names. i know we went thru so many names before we finally settled on hamish. it was always the name we came back to and when he was born he looked so much like a hamish that we knew the name we picked was just right
rach - congrats again on your engagement. such an exciting time
hi to everyone else
afm, well i think Hamish is finally ready to start toilet training. how to do it i have no idea. lol. i keep puttng him on and asking him if he needs to go. this morning he said "poo i done poo" and tried to take his clothes off. lately he has been taking his nappies off and running around butt naked! especially at day care! i swear if he isnt ready to be tt then he is just a nudist! the other week, he did a poo in his nappy, took it off, then sat in the dogs water bowl and washed his bottom lol. clever kid!
