 Topic: Grr I’m SO Over it!!!!
Posted: 26 May 2008 at 7:42pm |
|
Right now I am so over being a mother. Don't get me wrong I love my little man but he has been screaming ALL DAY LONG!
And we are not talking a normal scream, I am talking 'screaming like he is being murdered'. No temperature or symptoms ... very swollen gums and two teeth are just sitting waiting to come through, one of them actually looks like it has pierced through already.
I'm totally at my wits end, my parents are getting sh*tty at me telling me to shut him up, no help whatsoever and I just feel like breaking down crying. The kid won't eat, he didn't sleep last night and I can tell we are in for the same ordeal tonight.
Bonjela & Pamol are useless.
Sucks being on my own at a time like this.

there are other teething remedies. weleda do a powder.
maybe an ice block to help numb the pain for a while and to give you some rest from the screaming.

Big Hugs Steph.
Have you got Brufen that would help him.

Oh poor you and lucas. I feel for both of you, Im getting a wisdom tooth at the mo and geez louis it hurts.
Cant offer much support, none of my Nanny kids suffered with bad teething... bonjela did the trick.
Im sure someone will have a wonderful trick to help you out hun.
Good luck

Pamol does nothing much for teething here either. Weleda teething powder is pretty good though.
Hugs! I hope he is back to his sunny self soon.

Go and get him some lemonade iceblocks to suck on.
Tell your parents to give you a break that you are doing everything that you can to help him and it would be good if they could be a little more supportive!
It might not only be his teeth, it could be his ears as well.
If all as fails go for a drive around the block a couple of times.

Thanks, sometimes I think we don't get given enough credit with the social stigma that surrounds us.

At the risk of sounding cheeky maybe you should just book in to get them done. Tell the olds it's now urgent and ask them to look after Lucas while you're in hospital and recovering - that way you get rid of your tonsilitis and get a bit of time being looked after.

I think you could Steph, if it was the first surgery of the day you could get home in the afternoon.

Mine was done during the day but they kept me in overnight. Mind you I had excessive bleeding and was only 10 at the time.
You will be really sore afterwards, woozy from the general aneasthetic and not in any state to care for Lucas.
