embarassasing things we do for our kids

[chimaera]

Come on then, own up to the silly things we do for our kids, I have just spent £70 on seeing sleeping beauty on ice, Ballet on ice what a load of donkey wank. My daughter loved every minute of it and it was worth the money just to see her face.

Wel, not that i'm bitter, for the last month my 1 year old has taken to waking up screaming EVERY HOUR during the night, sometimes 10 minutes at a time.

Last night I stayed up until 12 trying to wet and dry my front wheel into a shine and I was pretty knackered by the time I had showered and got into bed.

Sure enough just a few minutes later I was startled awake by him and had to help him out, 6 times before both boys got up this morning at 5.40am.

With my eldest having slept like a log and so bloody happy and full of energy, my youngest knackered and very grouchy, my lushus wifey in the 'disturbed sleep mood of satan' I put on my clothes, brushed my teeth and came to work.

What silly thing did I do for my kids..........I SMILED AND TOLD EM I LOVED EM.

Jay I know how you feel, my eldest was like that, he opened his mouth to scream the minute he was born and it didn't stop until he was 10, then it just changed from screaming tantrums to teenager tantrums.

The only way I could get him to stop screaming long enough to close his mouth and eat (when he was a baby) was to shove a spoonful of food in then put his dummy in straight after so he'd shut up and eat.

every mouthful...!


gawd


in cases like that it's ok to break all the 'so called rules' and put baby in bed wif you, makes them more relaxed and you get a full night's sleep. If yer worry about squashing him try putting him in a carry cot or moses basket (depending on size) and putting that close enough to the bed so the baby can hear you breathing (or snoring) and you can just reach out to him when he wakes. Make sure the room is very dark and maybe even play soothing music quietly in the background.

it won't work cos I tried it all, but, if baby is in bed or near bed you don't have to wake up fully to sort him out

I am SO glad I don't have babies or small kids anymore!

good luck tho

Well this isnt so embarassing more stupid really....my son (14) and my step son (12) were bored in the summer holidays so i said go out in the garden and play footie or something...well the "something" they decided to do was to jump the electric cattle fence......which to them was a doddle....in they come shouting "go on mum" "go on" you have a go!

Me being totally immature most of the time thought "yeah, piece of piss really" all i gotta do is jump a fence! :cool:

I get myself ready for the easy peasy jump.....

"THUMP"! I TOUCHED IT!....feck me did it hurt i jumped in a real twat style and caught my foot and ended up in the lethal thorn bush.... :confused:

"Yeahhhhhhhhh mum is really cool" they screamed......as they walked off and left me to et out of the bush ......

Stupid thing is i had another go when they were not about and i did it.

Jay in view of this and your other post about the aeroplanes, you can't half tell that you're lacking sleep :(

I wish I could make it all better for you hon, are you able to cat nap at lunchtime?

seriously, is there a family member who can look after your baby for a couple of nights to give you a break?

just nights, not days,

anyway, my child was extra difficult, the other two were fine.

also if this is a recent thing it is gonna be just a phase and if you get the routine for bed perfected it's likely to stop soon.

maybe get him checked at the GP in case it's night terrors or bad wind or summat

let me know how it goes eh?

[Jay]

Guys, don't take me moaning seriously, I'm never nasty.........it's like having a mum again :)

I'll try a power nap in the works van at lunchtime, see how that goes!

[Gypsy]

i used to do that all the time in the van years ago... till one day i fell asleep till 4 o'clock :D

I once convinced my younger brother to pee on a cattle fence............. He has never let me forget

last embarrasing event for me was in december when my daughter was celebrating her 18th birthday. she went into brum with her mates touring various bars, one of her friends is named chee who is a flamboyantly gay chinese guyanyway late into the night we got a phone call, it was jess saying chee is'nt very well could you come and get him (he was staying at ours that night) not too happy but we agreed to go into town to bring him back, well he was totally pissed and could'nt walk so i half carried him back to the car which would'nt have been so bad if it was'nt for the pair of angels wings he had on his back! so there i was walking past the gay bars with a guy looking like a crashed angel in my arms. embarrassed? oh yeah :D

[chimaera]

that would have been worth a picture just to embarass chee the next day

Just your excuse for hanging around outside the Nightingale in Hurst Street then eh???? ;)

[Jay]

No no....a picture means you can't continuously make up stuff about what happened.

Just get up the next morning and say "oh chee man (sorry) you poor poor lad" and shake your head knowingly.

Then later, just as he's tucking into his toast, "don't worry, I won't say a word" and smile!

[Doro]

just remembered I bought two tickets to take my daughter to see boyzone when she was 12, but I chickened out in the end and made my sister take her, she liked that pop cr@p anyway


phew

You cruel sod (but bloody good fun)

[Jay]

My nan once blew off at my cousins wedding and it was loud as it reverberated around the church, I took the blame for that one.

Some respect due for your old Nan!

Just your excuse for hanging around outside the Nightingale in Hurst Street then eh???? ;) the thing is dave i'd got this kid in my arms and i was wearing leather jeans and jacket walking past the gay bars! the looks i got from guys who were, rather worryingly dressed like me :eek: i reckon i could have pulled dead easy :D

It's all right for you to do that.

But for a 6ft bloke in biker attire to queue up with thousands of small girls to buy tickets for the current teen-hearthrob boy-band is another thing entirely.

But you should have seen the look on the bouncers face when I got to the front of the queue :cool:

Cheers,

Byrnie.

ps my ex-wife was supposed to take my daughter, who chickened out of attending such an event with said mother. My ex then decided to take her mate, with the end result that neither of them got anywhere past the first pub. All that embarrasment, and in the end, I needn't have bothered :rolleyes:

I think this qualifies

Having tried for a sprogg for the last 5 years without success Mrs Freak arranged for me to be, shall we say 'tested'.
Without going into too much detail; this involves making a deposit in a small container at home and getting it to a lab within an hour whilst keeping it warm.
Not too bad in its self... except there were a couple of workers outside the lab repairing some fencing. As myself and a surprisingly large amount of other men walked into and left the lab the younger of the two workers looked up with an overly cheeky grin on his face :D . I just know the little sh1t was thinking 'wanker' as each of us passed him.

I frowned hard hoping my red face would look like rage but he just smiled back.
:o :o :o
