AAARRRGGGHHH! little man is driving me wild!! He was so tired after school today, didn't fall asleep in car, and when he got home decided he was going to do some drawing and cutting out!! Eventually was persuaded to go to bed about nine!! The other night was a one off then. how is nat doing? I wonder if any other ladies have any advice?:\?

Hi Rach, poor you, your little man is giving you a hard time isn't he?.
Things here have been really busy so I've not had time to use the computor at all.
Nats was doing well at night until last night...........she was up awake untill 8.30(not quite as bad as ollie but still its late enough to drive me nuts!!)
The last few nights we have been having an early tea and then the kids have milk and a biscuit before bed. I'm not sure if this is what has helped to settle Natalie( except last night of course!!). She does tend to eat quite alot so maybe she was too full and couldn't get comfy in bed when we ate late. Not sure but I'm just throwing ideas around.
Good luck with your little man tonight.
I've got another hectic day tomorow so I hope nats settles so I get a bit of time to relax tonight.Ha Ha!!

well, ollie was asleep by half seven, but he'd got up at six this morn, and he's been soooooooooooooo bloody grumpy and argumentative all day, he's driven me mad. Oh well, never happy!!!!! Starting to feel like it's me doing something wrong.:\?

Its not you hun.....Its just kids.
I was feeling sooo guilty that it was my fault but after chatting to LOADS of other Mums I realised its just something that happens and you just need to go through the motions.
Just give yourself a bit of a break.
Nats was awake for ages last night and my youngest was awake VERY early this morning!!!! I must admit they were in bed early as we had a really busy weekend, they obviously wern't as tired as I was!!!!!!
Let me know how things go, I will get round to replying as soon as I can but things are so hectic and time runs away from me.
sending you hugs Rach xxxxxxxx

Cheers mate, life is hectic here too!!! Don't always have the time to go on the computer, or i just feel like sleeping instead!!!!! Kids are still being a pain in the bum and have spent most of the day attacking my oh!!! Ah well, tomorrows another day!! Keep well, speak to you soon!!!!!!

Hi Rach,
I hope all is going well for you and your lo's. Are they all sleeping better now?
Can you believe all the xmas stuff in the supermarkets....my goodness its everywhere. Don't get me wrong I love xmas but not in November!!lol

Full time mums forum is soooo quiet so I keep popping over into the rest, Trying for a baby is really confusing........I just don't get the different abriviations for things!! I must have alot brain mush!!!!Ive not worked for seven years and now I'm hopeless at everything remotely clever!!(inc spelling lol) God help me in the new year when we try for no'4!!

look after yourself hun
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

hiya!How are you? Didn't realise you are going for number four, best of luck! Yeah, the stuff in the shops for xmas drives me mad too, just can't get into the xmas spirit when it's only just been bonfire night! I am usually quite organised with my shopping but i can't be bothered!! Ollie seems to be settling a little bit better, we found if we leave him til about half eight, he asks to go to bed, we pop a story cd on and with any luck he'll go!! Little madam has been waking really early after the clock change but seems to be bettter now, although she's got a cold so that hasn't helped. Got so stressed yesterday, all they did was argue and fight over EVERYTHING. I don't think i'll ever have more kids, i haven't got the patience. Good to hear from ya, speak soon!!!

The arguing in my house is alot better, I do keep them busy doing jobs or homework when they start acting up.
We are not trying just yet, probably going to start in the new year for no'4. Well that depends on my hubby's job as he's looking for one closer to home. He has had so many offers but non that come up with the money he's on now. We took a huge drop in wages last time he changed jobs and I won't do it again, it was awful.
Nats woke up at 5oclock this morning(groan!!!) but other than this morning everyone has been sleeping quite well, Thank God!!!!!
I'm glad Ollie is settling better, It gets realy tiresom when they don't doesn't it?
Hope your ok hun.
