Hi Al, our kids have always had a party, not for the presents- just coz. They usually invite 5 or 6 kids, sometimes it's at home sometimes out somewhere.
Hey everyone!!
Alison - JD is only turning 3 this year and we have had a party the last 2 years and will again this year. Only really his playgroup friends that are his age and my family come though and we dont make a big deal out of it...I just usually make him a special cake (lawnmower last year!) and have nibblies and they run mental for a while and wear themselves out.....
I cant even say anything to Abbey as JD repeats everything I say!! If I even say what you said to Amelia he is straight in her face thinking that he can do it too so I have no where to vent!!! She wont remember any of this time of her life so don’t even waste time worrying about it….wait til they get to 3….then they remember!! And dob on you as well!!
Telly – That’s so freakin unbelievable….what a bunch of idiots…I hope they have the hangover from hell as well!! Will serve them right! Hope you’re having a better day today and the kiddies are being nice to you!
Ubba – Jealous about your iphone….I have an ipod which is good, but I’d love an iphone…one day I guess!! Still hoping to win lotto!!
Kymmy - Great about your rings!! I usually put cream on my hand then I can slide mine on OK....if I dont do that then I'm not a great chance of getting them on!
AFM – Same sh*t, different day as they say…..Abbey still sleeping pretty miserably and JD being a ratbag….nothing seems to change in this place!!!
Took them over to Macca’s with my step sister this morning to kill sometimes and it was a complete debacle….I told JD to stand next to the car just behind me while I got Abbey out and he’s usually good but I turn around after I get her and he’s gone. Panic and nearly have a heart attack, look around and he’s half way up the steps to the restaurant….could have lost it right on the spot in front of everyone, then whinge, whinge, whinge the whole time (must be that time of year or something??) – arrrggghhhh, nothing is ever good enough for this kid!!!! Doesn’t he know some kids would kill to go to Macca’s and run around and eat crap???????
Now he’s on the bed telling Abbey he doesn’t like her anymore and poking his tongue out at her….lovely.
Everyone (my mum and her partner, my dad and his wife and my DH) have decided to go away next weekend so I will be flying solo from Fri morning through til Sun afternoon. Dreading it and it’s making me feel sick just thinking about it…..just knowing that mum can come and take JD and amuse for a couple or hours or us going over there for a while is great….I know some people don’t have that at all so I shouldn’t complain….it’s always chaos here at night time with dinner (JD not eating it!), bathtime, me trying to get organised etc so that will be the worst….
Will stop whinging now and get off – hope your babies are all being good to you! Thanks for listening!
xoxox
Hi Kymmy - lucky you, I tried this morning and my finger instantly puffed up! I can wear a ring on my right hand though. I'm getting upset about it, how long till I can wear them again, it's been 6 months! Should I get the resized????
Hi Shayna - mmmm Macca's, I would kill for a burger - darn wheat intolerance!
Just back from the party, was ok, very humid out there today though. There were 5 of us who were all just pregnant this time last year so was funny to see us all with babies now. One of them had a 12 week old this time last year and was nursing a 7 week old today! AND she has a 3 year old! :o
Hi Everyone else:hello:
PS - has anyone tried accessing the condolences page for Mikayla today? I just tried and it's telling me I don't have access all of a sudden!
Hi guys :)
Bit chilly in tassie tonight, have the kids dressed in their sleepsuits - sooo darn cute!!!! DS fits into a size 4 perfectly, DD1 into a size 2 perfectly, and DD2 is in her 00's that a tad bit tight for her.. hahaha!!!! They are soooooooo cute running around though, almost takes the attention off their bad behaviour.. hehehe
Alison - we gave DS a 1st birthday party (just a few friends and family) and then said we weren't doing it anymore until they can ask for one. So he asked for one for his 3rd birthday, so we did a little one at home - just a few friends. DD1 never had one for her 1st, and probably won't until she can ask either. I dunno - I just feel a bit stupid getting my cousins kids to come cos they don't have any other friends - its different if they are at school and have their own friends that they want to invite ya know? But we do tend to do things a little differently in this house..
Shayna - must be the time for whinging.. my god, its doing my head in. Thank god we went out in the car today so DS had a nap and that was nearly an hour free of whinging in my day.. bahahahahaa!!!!!! Ahhhhh... 3 year olds are GLORIOUS. :wall:
Not much else goin on... just chillin with our colds - only DH is free from it.
Cheers to everyone! Hope ya's all had a good weekend.
Hi Mel - it's rainy in Perth too today and cooler - thank god, so over the heat at the moment! Haven't dug out Amelia's wondersuits yet - she's been in her all in one jammies but just the cotton ones. You did make me look though and of the tonne of wondersuits I bought before she was born they're all ranging from 0000's to 000's so none of them will fit anyway as she's in 00's now! What a waste of money, she's never worn them!!!! Oh well, will keep for next time. lol
AFM - well, Amelia didn't sleep much yesterday arvo at my friend's little boys birthday party and then we went to the in-laws for dinner (again!) and she didn't sleep there either - as usual MIL overstimulated her so I thought we'd be in for a bad night but it was quite the opposite! I started feeding Amelia a little more yesterday as the last few days she's been wanting to feed every 2.5 to 3 hours again so I thought maybe with the growth spurt etc she's hungrier and it worked a treat - she went 4 sometimes a little more hours between so I dropped the last feed - she should've had the last feed at 8.00 pm if she'd gone 4 hours but she went a little longer so didn't feed until almost 9.00 pm and slept until 8.00 am without a peep! I woke up this morning and had to ask DH if I got up to her as I thought I'd done it on auto pilot and not realised lol. So exciting. Probably won't happen again tonight as I imagine it's because she was so exhausted from yesterday but I'll take it thanks! Today I'll see if she goes the 4 hours again and if she does the last feed should be around 8.00 pm so will be interesting to see what time she lasts till - I imagine she'll be up more around 6.00 am then 8.00 am but I don't care, especially if she doesn't have me up for the dummy two or three times in the night! Will let you know how it goes, no two nights are ever the same are they! Besides, we tried this a couple of weeks ago and it failed miserably so we might end up reverting back again. Trial and error!
Well, best go have my shower while she has her nap. It's rainy here today so the room is nice and dark and cosy so hopefully it will help her have a longer nap! I have to go to the dentist for a filling today, I broke an old filling when I was in hospital with Amelia and have been putting it off since lol. I HATE the dentist! My sister's going to watch Amelia while I go, wish me luck, I'm a scaredy cat with the dentist.
shayna, i just checked out the photos you were tagged in on FB, not sure if i was suppose to, but i had a chuckle! hehehe! Ahh, good ol' backstreet boys, gotta love em!
xx
Alison - good luck at the dentist. I need to go too - my back tooth is suddenly (that is to say about 2 mths ago I noticed it was) sharp. My uncle is my dentist so he just charges MBF, I just need to get off my butt and book an appointment - they came over on Good Friday but I didn't tell him I needed to see him, otherwise he probably would have gotten his receptionist to call me. Good luck with another night like that too.
Mel - I've got Mr I in 0 wondersuits (too hot here for blanket suits yet) to fit over his nappy. His feet don't reach the feet of the suit though - shortie like his parents. I'm nodding in agreement with the sentiment about 3 year olds!
4:30 this morning Mr I poos & I blearily pull his pants off and put them on the blankets of our bed, start to change him & realise there's been leakage & the pants have overflow on them. Get DH to hold him while I change our sheets, pull the blanket off, remake the bed. DH & Mr I have a wonderful time playing under the top sheet so of course he wouldn't go back to sleep. And its raining today so I cant wash the blankets (its only a tiny spot on one of the 2 blankets, but still I want to wash them both).
Frequency this kid poos you wouldn't think he'd have enough for a blow out!
Snowy - Bummer about the rain....it's always when you have a full line or something important to wash hey?!?! Abbey is the opposite with her pooping - only goes about every couple of days...before that when I was BF her it was only once every 10 days so at least it's gotten better than that!!!
Telly - Glad you had a laugh at the pics....it was a funny night....still love Nick. Our friends think we are mental going to that concert but it was a blast!!! They are soooo old now!!
Alison - Bummer about your tooth....how's this though. I have to get deep cleaning done on my front teeth and that starts in July and has to get done over 5 appt's at $750 a pop!!! I have no idea how we are going to pay for that when the time comes....and before that I have been told to get my remaining 3 wisdoms out....I'm putting that off for as long as possible as I'm completely dreading it....I got my other one out not long after I had JD and I was an absolute wreck....howled the whole time and carried on..the dentist couldnt believe it and rang me on Mon morning to make sure I got home OK and made it through the weekend!! I kept saying to him 'I just had a baby with no drugs or anything and didnt even cry or carry on like this'. I couldnt believe the mess I got myself into and then it was over in a flash and didnt even hurt. It's the thought of the whole thing and then they show the x-rays and the roots are soooo damn long....makes me shudder just thinking about it. Anyway, we only have basic dental cover so should probably look into getting a bit more to help cover the cost. I wish it was something I could just put off but I dont think I can. I dont want to be too much of a hillbilly with all my front teeth missing!!! : )
Mel - I was hoping the day that JD turned 3 that the whinging would somehow stop magically?? You dont think that's going to happen?? He is infatuated with 'Cars' at the moment and goes on and on and on about all the cars that he wants for his collection. We have exhausted all the range they have in Grafton so are now looking on ebay for them....they are about $10 a pop and I counted up what he has and he has about $250 worth so far....anyway, the whinging never stops about I want this one and this one and this one and when I say we are looking for them or the postman is bringing them he completely loses it and has massive tantys...lovely time we are having here!!
AFM - Abbey still not sleeping well at all but I'm so used to it now I dont even think I notice the exhaustion. I probably get up about 7 times a night then end up on the lounge with her half the time and probably get 3 - 5 hours sleep a night (none of that in 1 hit either!). Ah well, got to get better hey?! She's super cute though so that makes up for it!! High maintenance little lady at the moment too...sick of being on the floor or in the bouncer so is attached to my hip most of the time with arms flailing about....cute!
Hi everyone else!
xoxooxoxo
JD sounds exactly like DS1 - DH ended up buying Sarge from Cars on e-bay. There's a new series just out so don't pay e-bay prices, wait a few weeks and they should be at your local shops. I'm trying to get DH out of the habit of buying a car (Cars or hot wheels) everytime he goes shopping with DS1 'cause he expects it & tanties ensue. I explain before we go that we don;t have much money this week and can't afford a car to try and pre-empt the tanty but it doesn't always work.
Hi Shayna - gosh I feel for you on the lack of sleep, you are obviously well adjusted to it which is something at least. I don't think I could survive on that little sleep - maybe that's why we get what we can handle.......someone out there knows I'd be useless with a bad sleeper lol. You're obviously a lot tougher than me! But you're right, it will get better, it has to! Abbey obviously has far too much to do than to sleep, geez mum! :lol: I hear you on the wisdom teeth, I had all 4 out, 3 were impacted but I had them done in hospital, I think I can safely say it was one of the worst days and couple of weeks of my life as far as operations go, at least with the c-section I got Amelia as a result!!! The filling went well although it's pretty much my whole tooth, he thought it was dead and would need root canal but it was clearly alive - it took 5 needles before I couldn't feel it!!! :o Needless to say my mouth is very sore today but at least it's fixed for now. I've got more though and going back in 4 weeks - I have the worst teeth, they might be straight but they're as soft as anything and prone to decay no matter how much I brush and floss. I was obviously standing at the back of the line when they were handing out good teeth!
Hi Snowy - oh no re the poo explosion on the bed lol! Amelia's poos are pretty well contained but she is fully FF'd now so they're more compact most days. Hope you can get the sheets washed and dried soon!
AFM - talk about cold it's cold in Perth today, bit of a shock after it being in the mid to high 30's for so long! Have to say it's a nice change from the heat though. Well day 2 of dropping down to 4 feeds went well, I don't know whether it's the amber necklace, the extra amount at feeds or coincidence but Amelia has been sleeping better the last 2 nights, she's been doing 10 hours without waking up, I went into her at 4.45 am this morning but just to check on her because the darn monitor is playing up and keeps going off signal so it's not registering her breathing. Actually on that, when do you generally stop using a monitor out of interest? But Amelia has definitely been more settled since I've put the teething necklace on her so again it's either pure coincidence or it's really doing it's trick. She was sucking madly on her bottom lip last night and drooling even more than usual so I tried SM33 instead of Bonjela and I think it worked better and she didn't hate the taste like Bonjela, bargain!
Best go, I have an appointment this morning so have to get Missy Moo napping so I can get ready! Have a great day everyone. xx
Snowy - yeah I used to buy DS a car every time we did the grocery shopping, because it made him be GOOD.. lol.. plus they were only $1.60 from coles (for their coles brand one - I'm a cheapy) but now he expects it all the darn time. SO now - I'm doing online shopping hahahaha!! That'll stuff him... ;)
Shayna - uhh yeah I was hoping all whinging would stop when he got to 3 - but its gotten worse!!! Even worse now because he wants to be picked up and carried around like a baby (ie, like his two sisters!!) and he's 16kg so is getting too bloody heavy (and BIG) for me to carry him around... some days it drives me INSANE. Like yesterday. Today isn't too bad, but he got in serious trouble when I was hanging out washing because he kept playing right outside the bedroom window where eden was sleeping (and by playing I mean screaming and making kelti squeal like a banshee) so he got a firm hand placed on his chin and made to look into mumma's eyes cos she wasn't too happy. Of course then - I'm mean and naughty.. LOL.. Ahhhh kids...
ETA - Alison - ouchies on the teeth!!!! Yup, SM33 is MUCH better than bonjela - but I thought it could only be used from 6 months? They may have changed it, but it used to definitely be 6 months when I was using it for aricyn. Oh and with the monitor - I usually use it until they go into a bed, but I'm pretty paranoid. It was used with aricyn until we needed it for DD1 (so nearly 19 months) and then we used it with DD1 until she went into a big bed (so 14 months) and now we're using it for DD2, and will until she gets a big bed. Considering there isn't much room in the bedroom for her cot and aricyn's bed, we'll probably put her in a big bed when she's about 14 months old too..
Hi Mel, I think you're the one who told me about using the SM33 so thanks!!! We checked the website last night and it says from 3 months. :)
Hi girls, I have been reading but not posting much cause my laptop is playing up bloody technology!
We don't get ds a car every time we go to the shops, it's more like once a week. He gets $4 for his pocket money and we take him to the shops. He usually chooses a hot wheels car or sometimes saves his money to buy a new alien for his Ben10 alien maker. He has a couple of jobs to do at home, take the recycle out to the bin and bring the empty bins back in when they have been emptied, plus his everyday jobs like putting his dirty clothes in the wash basket, put his toys away and take his dirty dishes to the sink. Ash has jobs too like her everyday jobs, stacking the dishwasher and taking the rubbish out. She gets $5 a week for pocket money plus a lunch order on Fridays. They put in so get rewarded for it.
I can't remember what anyone has written I wanted to comment on a few things. Oh well I will come back again later I'm sure lol!
Gawd DD2 has been sleeping since 8.30!!!!!! I'd suspect either a growth spurt (yay here come the 0's) or she's dropping down to 2 sleeps a day (that will SUCK)...
lost a massive post oo my mobile spew..:(
hey
sorry for being mia- were a bit sick here and busy
we are in the throes of buying another business!!!!!!!!!!!
am i mad???
and im sick with a killer sore throat that i can't take anything for because im breastfeeding, and tully has a nasty cough and an ear infection :(
hope you are all well and your bubbas are being good too you xox
Hi All
Me too, been reading but not posting.
Glad everyone is doing OK (except excess poo, not enough sleep, busted teeth, sore throats, sick Tully, losing massive posts, tanty throwing 3 year olds....) haha!
I met up with my midwife today... God i love her. I seriously CANNOT wait to have another baby! DH is sick of hearing it! Although i'm not on the pill and we are not very careful AND i got AF last week......soooooo who knows, might be sooner rather than later!
What business are you buying Sarah? Another Cafe? Golly you're good... two babies AND two businesses. SUPERWOMAN!
Love you all
x
oh no, not another cafe yet,
a cute little retail store!
selling vintage clothes and accesories and handmade stuff by me!- handbags, kids clothes, and loads of other things from vintage and reclaimed fabric! my other obsession!
aaarrrggghhhh!!!!!!!!!
am i mad?
dh sort of gave me an ultimatium that if i buy this business no way can i do it with 4 kids! he's not getting out of it that easy!
no way was that my last pregnancy!
Oh Sarah, I can just imagine you being the really creative, arty, fashionable kinda gal!
I so want to come over and visit you!!
You are not mad.... ok...slightly maybe, haha! And there is NO WAY you can stop having babies.. you are too damn good at it! Your babies are just adorable!!!!
Are you feeling better? xxx
oh thanks kymmy
*blushes*
i'd love you to visit! when we come to perth to see stevens brother i HAVE to meet my perth bb girls!!!!
i want 4 babies....... they are pretty cute, thanks, you're a pretty good baby maker too....any news on that front???
are we the only ones here with no life? on bb all the time?
OOH I forgot to tell you...
My bestest friend (who was at Archie's birth) thinks she is pregnant again :shhh:
She hasn't done a test yet, as she is in denial (HAHA!), and her baby is only 11 months old but she hasn't got her period for a couple of months and is 90% sure she is!!!! WOOHOO!
I think she is cr*pping herself! I told her that i am bringing her a test down and am going to force her to pee on it just so I know for sure!! She doesn't want to find out yet cos she doesn't feel ready to know yet! Haha, so like her. She does want another baby but i guess now it is real she is probably freaking out!
Oh HOW EXCITING! x
wahoo kymmys friend!
Ooh yes please Sarah! Come visit!!!
No, no news. Well this is my first month that it is possible for me to fall pregnant so we'll see! It's up to DH... I'm all for it, we'll see if he comes through with the goods :rofl:
And I have heaps of cr*p that i'm supposed to be doing but i DONT WANT TO! haha! BB is the much better option.........
Am taking Brit horseriding today so will have to peel myself away from the computer i suppose....
xxxxxxx
Sarah and Kymmy - I obviously don't have a life either because I'm on here all the time too...
Still thinking about #4 here too :shhh: And I agree, you guys all in here make gorgeous babies!!! We should all have huge tribes.. LOL
hehe
How exciting for your friend Kymmy - i'd definitely be making her take a test, so exciting when you get that rush of "omg I'm pregnant - wooohoo!!"
Oh and if anyone wants to come visit me in tassie - most welcome!!!!
oh and kymmy my BIL is in greenmount which is close to you i think!
Hi Girls!
Hi Kymmy - congrats to your friend, one of my mums group girls has just announced she's 5.5 weeks pregnant! I can't wait to do it again as well, although am dreading morning sickness, if you get it the first time are you likely to get it the second time? I hated that first 12 weeks so bad but loooooved the rest of the pregnancy.
Hi Mel - one of the girls on my December BB forum is from Tassie, not sure which part though, will have to ask!
Hi everyone else, sorry for no persies, I'm a bit busy on FB at the mo! ;)
Love you all.
xx
Alison - I didn't get ms with Mr I (did with the Duke, but not awful), but 'cause I had a miscarrige a few months previous (and didn't have ms with that pg either) I spent the first 12 weeks wanting ms so I'd know he was there & OK.
Hi Snowy - lol yes I can imagine you did! I think if I knew it was just a little wave of nausea in the day I could handle it, it's quite difficult having 24 hour nausea for 3 months non stop, it's quite debilitating and even they tell you it's a good sign at the time it's very hard to look at it that way.....but after it's over you realise. :D
Hi Mel - am waiting to hear back from the other Tassie girl, she's originally from Perth so when she was visiting recently the Perth girls from the December BB forum met up. Actually, I met up with the other two again yesterday, it's nice to catch up in person. :)
AFM - well, poor Amelia is really teething, she has her Sophie the Giraffe's legs ferociously in her mouth most of the day now, thank goodness for the Amber necklace and SM33! Oh and Mel I double checked with the chemist about that yesterday and she said generally they say 6 months but 4 months on is fine. :D Oh and Amelia has been sleeping 11 hours the last 3 nights without waking.....well she did stir at 3.30 am but I just went in and moved her in the cot as she was up against the edge again. Not sure if it's the amber necklace (which she wears around her ankle at night) or the fact it's a bit cooler but whatever it is it's bloomin great! The 4 feeds are working and last night her last feed was at 7.30 pm, went to bed at 8.00 am and woke at 7.00 am - can't complain about that at the mo! I strongly recommend those necklaces as I really think it's been since she's had that.
hey ladies, just have a quick hello. :hello: will have to go through everyones posts and have a read later on, been a bit occupied lately!
yesterday theo started getting up on his knees and hands :o
oh myyy.... please stop now! I want you to remain a little baby!
He kinda gets up on them, then slightly rocks, then faceplants the blanket again, haha.
rolling EVERYWHERE now, driving me nuts!
xx
Telly - DH said the other day it looks like he's about to commando crawl & I was the same: NOOOOO!
madame, im so excited about your new little business!!
Will you have a shop front, or will it be an online thing?
Which ever way, you have to have an online option aswell - so we can all support our beautiful friend ;)
alison, you lucky mummy you!!! can't believe amelia is sleeping so well!! :clap: Great to hear! Theo still has his good nights, and his bad. But he is such a placid little man, i really can't complain, i take him absolutely everywhere, and he never fusses, complete opposite to what his sister was like! :)
Snowy - isn't it heartbreaking to think how quickly they're all growing? :( lol! I just love this stage... hell i love ALL of the stages, but with that said, i wish we could spend more time in each one, things are rushing through too quickly IMO.
ANyway, not too much happening my way DH is away tonight, so instead of doing my usual clean the house in the arvo, i just enjoyed a 2 hour nap with both kiddies in bed with me, was delicious! Been really reallly horrible with ww lately too :o crap! But back on track the last two days, hopefully i can undo the damage! Its just so hard, my bestie was home for the weekend (ya'll probably saw, by the photo on fb), so we had a jolly ol' time. lol
love you all xx
Hey ladies,
just got back from the doc with feo (hehe), he has an ear infection :(
so got him on some antibiotics, and ear drops, and have to take him back next week for a check. Poor little man
DD has been driving me nutters today! "Rushed" into the pharmacy to get the script filled (i emphasise the word 'rush', cause ya'll know what its like), and "mum, milkshake please?", so off i go, with the nappy bag, theo in one hand, all the while holding her hand. Get the milkshake, back to the pharmacy. "mum, wee please", off we go.. to the toilet, theo in one hand, nappy bag in other, while holding dd hand (not to mention how EFFING HARD it is to get her shorts and knickers on and off while holding theo, grr), back to the pharmacy, "mum, poo please" :wall: So off we go again.... what is it with kids and the effing toilet?!?! As soon as they see one they think its their duty to give it a test run?! I swear i would have done my block if we wern't in public, haha.
Then we get home, open the bottle of antibiotics, put theo down to measure the dosage, up comes the cyclone (aka dd), and decides to TIP IT OUT ONTO THE TABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So.,.... call the doctors, then back to the pharmacy we go.... ffaaarrrrk mmeeee deeaaadd (sorry for the language).
love you all xx
Hi Girls!
Hi Telly - geez how annoying lol! Hmmmm, maybe one child is plenty then ;)...just kidding, no way would I stop at one...unless I have no choice of course!
Hey girls, I just realised I'm meant to go to a Tupperware party tonight (groan)....it's within walking distance from my house but I really don't want to go now, I've been so busy this week I just want to cook my spag bol, sit down, eat it and relax for the evening. The only thing is, it's through my good friend's sister in law, she's a lovely lady and everything and when my friend told me she'd be disappointed if I didn't go it's made me feel bad. Is it rude to not go last minute?
in the nicest way possible ali- use amelia as an excuse. its what i do if i really dont want to do something.
telly- what a crazy day. hope feo gets better and kaili doesn't blow the whole house down!
my shop will be a REAL one! haha i mean with a front, 3 doors down from our cafe actually!
so im mad busy planning stuff for that atm. ill come do persies better soon- sorry all you gorgeous girls ive missed x
oh and harper has found her toes x
oh yeah, i use the kids as an excuse ALL the time! haha!
Its one of the perks of being a mum! ;)
Madame im so excited about your new business! You're going to be one busy mumma! You'll probably end up a billionaire in a years time, and when that time comes... hows about a bb meet up, on the house? hahaha! :) Will you have online shopping aswell? xx
i need to get this off my chest before i go to bed, sorry girls
i have been a terrible mummy today. the worst. im ashamed to admit how ive acted. i have just been so awful.
i have so much going on at the moment but ds doesnt deserve to have it taken out on him. I yelled and screamed at him so much today. i slammed doors. i put him in his room after he woke from his sleep -on the wrong side of bed - screaming for 10 minutes like i had cut his leg off- and went outside to hang the washing on the line. left dd asleep on the couch. stupid stupid stupid mummy. cam back in and she was on the floor screaming. not hurt thank god but screaming. ds screaming and when i go to him in his room he looks at me with sheer terror. god what have i done to my poor children. i try to gentle parent so much but today for somereason i just lost it. i havent even told dh dd fell off the couch because im sick of him judging me as a bad housewife. i never get anything done and even though he doesnt get angry, i feel as though he thinks im useless. i just hate what i have become at the moment. just because something else needs more time than my children. nothing ever should. they are my everything. im sorry for this. i just feel awful sorry
