Sunday Blahs
June 28th, 2009 | 
Author: Im out of blogging material this week , school is officially out for summer and we are already bored. At least our holiday is less than 2 weeks away.
Its been one of those long days , got a weird fuzzy head/blocked ear thing going on which leaves me dizzy . Trying to get the flat ready for selling (Still , just on cleaning again ) and we are getting no where. Kids watched way to much tv and when not watching tv were demanding food or fighting. The boy was not for napping and wanted constant entertainment. You should see him stand solo though , becoming a right little expert . I think walking is only a few weeks away…
Got an text from a friend saying she was pregnant and i don’t get it . She has a daughter a little older than Eilidh and a few months back found her husband “cheating” , he says it was just talking through internet/mobile and nothing else and she believes him . She admits herself the trust is gone and wanted to have another baby to bring them back together. I have never understood the have another child to try and fix up a marriage thing… To me relationships have to be strong to survive the pregnancy and first few years , its not fair to bring another child into it.
Guess its there choice though and hopefully it will work out for them all .
Have another online friend pregnant with her 5th , admits herself the relationship between her husband and herself is terrible and they only stay together for the kids but keeps getting pregnant . Loves being pregnant and normally gets pregnant within 6-12 months of the other one. She is always going on about how depressed she is (terrible pnd which gets worse each time) , how her husband does nothing and she wants to leave him and even worse how poor they are (neither work ) , thousand of pounds in debt and cannot afford to feed themselves most weeks . Why have another child ? She says she has no plans to stop either.
Looks like im in a moaning mood today, should not really be its only 6.20 pm and the youngest 2 are sleeping for the night and Craig is getting Becca down . Bedtimes are getting earlier and earlier around here , Eils putting herself to bed as early as 5.30 some nights .
Think i can hear the boy waking , he always wakes after 10/15 minutes for another feed .Hope everyone is having a nice Sunday

Oh dear. Having a new baby is hard enough with a wonderful husband by your side, but if your marriage isn’t great, what a strain that would be.
My little one is just about to crawl and is pulling himself up to standing against the settee. They’re not little babies for long!

Both situations sound a bit… unfair. Both for them and the kids they bring into it. Their choice though. Sad to see a friend go through something because they just don’t know what else to do though isn’t it?
I had to take Zack out today, managed to get him walking all the way into town and around it for a couple of hours, Max in tow with the buggy. I think I’m going to have to find some more places to walk to! >_<

I cannot imagine having one baby, let alone multiple babies without a trusted partner, aka my husband, at my side - I realize that people do it alone or without support all the time, but I am sure it is extremely hard. And to deal with a pregnancy, then a new baby in the house is stressful on a solid marriage, let alone a rocky one - *sigh*
On another note, I get it - I have been out of blogging material for weeks. BLAH.

I completely understand your point of view. It must be very hard when talking / listening to your friends. A baby will never patch up a relationship, it will just add more strain I am sure, and is it really fair to the children involved? My brother is going through a similar situation, his fiancée cheated on him a couple months ago. He decided to forgive her but for a while they are not living together, however I found out they are still trying for a baby. I just have to keep my mouth shut but I do think it is a really bad idea.

Eilidh puts herself to bed as early as 5:30?! wow.
I don’t understand people bringing babies into situations like that either. Another child will not fix a dysfuntional family…it just adds one more innocent victim. Sad.

My daughter has just started standing solo, so exciting!
I don’t undestand why troubled couples go for the baby option either, it often doesn’t work out in the long run. I can understand your frustration with them.
