EWWWW MP! That does not sound pleasant at all! I hope it go away quickly for you.

Cass, L is still home from school all snotted up. Even the headcold I had a few weeks ago is still lingering with me being blocked up first thing in the morning.

Andie, that is really sad for both him and the boys. Especially the boys. They get to the point where they really do need that father figure in their lives. But if he can't give it to them, I hope your new DP can fill the gap

What ****ed me off the most about the baptism is that DH isn't a practicing Christian (baptised Methodist) and it just seemed sooooo hypocritical for us to do it. I'm not done at all so I was more than happy for them not to be done ever and I thought we'd decided that, but out of the blue he brought it up and it caused a massive fight. My issue was that if they want religion in their lives, then they would make that decision themselves as adults, but he said to me, that he thought if we did that, then it was likely they never would - so he wanted them to be baptised now and then as adults they could decide if they wanted to stay a part of it or not. It got really ugly with all the tooing and froing and it only took 4wks from when he brought it up to when they were done because I didn't want to muck around and just get it over and done with as soon as I could. I guess the only win I had was that their Godmother is a good family friend of DH's family and we are very close and she is the least religious person I know LOL. But I know she'd still be a perfect 'spiritual' adviser to them all the same. So it had nothing to do with a school or anything like that, just something DH wanted done. I know his mother was pleased though - not that she is any more religious than DH is, but it always kinda bugged her that they weren't done. She never ever said anything though which was great, but when we told her she said that she was happy about it. But she still preferred our little heathens over BIL and SIL's kids who were all baptised Catholic LOL - she hates the fact that she has Catholic grandkids.
