I'm lucky in a way with the fact Emily has her "blankie" to sleep, as long as she has it she self settles. If she doesn't I'll make her a bottle in the night but blankie has been a lifesaver.

Kaz- Thats the tricky part when there is mental health issues also, the few ppl I know with mental health probs also have either some sort drug or alcohol dependancy and I see how each thing affects the other, not good sometimes. Hope he is ok, good idea on laying down the rules.

Nai and Olive- try keep telling yourselves that you are getting to the top of that hill, they are fighting it but you are nearly there and going to slide down the other side, hope tonight is better.

Meg- when you went to the paed did he say anything on the behaviour side of probs? Any good advice from him?

Pinny- hope you got that nap! Yeah they do understand so much now, as soon as I say no she stops dead and stares at me and isn't impressed.

Left the girls with Df today and list just few simple jobs to get done, of course they weren't done. Now I know ppl think I should be happy he is looking after them but i think so he should he's there dad and if he can't do simple day to day things then it means I have to rush round and try do it all. I just think about when I go back to work how I will still have to do everything I do now but will have so much less time to do it in. How hard is it to watch/ sterilise bottles, give floor quick sweep and tidy kitchen?
