I've just resolved a wee pregnancy panic as well, and I wanted to cry with relief AND sadness when the negative came up!!
I wonder if I'll ever be sure that I don't want anymore?]]> Wed, 16 May 2007 17:49:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7541&PID=146458&title=thank-you-for-venting#146458 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7541&PID=146424&title=thank-you-for-venting#146424 Author: mum2paris

he he yeah the nearly 4 yr old in this house is interesting to say the least lately - especially cos she can pull the wool over daycare's eyes and make them believe she doesn't want a sleep.. then comes home on a silly giggly overtired high, which quickly crashes into whingy hormonal (somewhat similar to PMS) type of irrational crying and grumpiness.   If only she would darn well sleep at daycare.. the world is a nicer place when she does.]]> Wed, 16 May 2007 16:34:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7541&PID=146424&title=thank-you-for-venting#146424 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7541&PID=146406&title=thank-you-for-venting#146406 Author: daikini

Feel free to borrow an argumentative 6yo any time, ladies! The 2yo's tantrums we can cope with... the 6mo's grizzles are bearable... but the cheeky answering back and lack of ears are starting to drive Nat and I crazy.

1 day with an older child, and all of a sudden the younger ones seem much better!]]> Wed, 16 May 2007 16:07:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7541&PID=146406&title=thank-you-for-venting#146406 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7541&PID=146400&title=thank-you-for-venting#146400 Author: BaAsKa

Hrmm, well no, I guess while they're screaming wouldn't be quite so enjoyable....maybe the quiet times after the tantrum???

I seem to be getting really broody just after AF but towards the middle I am like so not ready for another baby again.

I have given up saying this one sleeps through the night. As soon as I do I have an awfull night and as soon as I complain that night she will sleep through.

So I am officially complaining about that part. ]]> Tue, 15 May 2007 17:16:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7541&PID=145918&title=thank-you-for-venting#145918 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7541&PID=145898&title=thank-you-for-venting#145898 Author: jack_&_charli

Anyone clucky is welcome to my Terrors. I'll even drop them off... perhaps I won't be quite so eager to pick them up but it is worth a shot?

Nikki, I'll flick her down to you, that'll cure you!

Just wanted to thank those ladies who had vented lately and included gripes about younger children.

I've been ridiculously clucky lately and it has brought all those memories of sleepless nights, leaky boobs, crying children, lack of privacy and space, flooding right back.

Anyway, useless post. Must put something positive in here... it does get better! and then you'll all get clucky again like me... here's hoping there are more ladies venting by that stage so that you are reminded not to do it again

P.S. Miss Hanny pants isn't sleeping well either... had to get up 4 times last night - and that was a good night! ARGHHHHH.]]> Tue, 15 May 2007 12:19:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7541&PID=145715&title=thank-you-for-venting#145715
