Hello OK'ers. 0/
Ms Cat, your Dr visit went well.
The little op will be a breeze in the park after all the worrying you have been doing.
Kylie, I think you just have to let Samantha go with Daddy and believe that he wouldn't do anything to put her in harms way.
Aspie, how old is your daughter? I know that in NSW they no longer need safety seats after they turn 7 so if your daughter is over that age then I wouldn't stress too much. If you are still using a seat for added protection for her then that is not a bad thing either.
Sending love to the Freddies.
I hope your news has been good happy.
Have a great weekend everyone.
Aspie, I totally agree with you. If she is a small build then leave her in the seat as long as possible, even if she is 9.
Hubby should organize a seat for her. I realize what you are saying about his lack of care in that regard but you may need to remind him that it was the other children who destroyed the seat he had so the responsibility of replacing it. How old are the children who did this? Are they his biological children?
I don't know what to suggest for you if he refuses, but you have every right not to let your daughter go with him without the seat. Trouble is, is that it is your daughter that is being penalized and her father couldn't care less. Ggrrrrr! Men.
I also had a husband who would turn up late and bring my child back early and then go crook on me for not being home 😮 X-(
One day I just blew my stack and told him that I was meant to be going into town with friends on the 10.45 train and because he turned up at 11 instead of 10 I had now missed out on going. I gave it to him good and proper. He used to have her every 2nd Sunday from 10 - 6 (sure !!) 11 to 5 more like it. I wasn't going out but I said it to him to bring home how selfish he was to her and to me. She would be dressed and waiting for Daddy who would be an hour late constantly.
Good luck with the problems that you are facing.
Oh Cyn, happy birthday for yesterday and what a fabulous gift from your children. Your post is filled with emotion. you will love the Bridge climb and the fact that they are doing it with you is tremendous. they will get to experience your joy. You will also be able to havw a photo together up the top. I have done it and it was amazing.
Happy St Pat's Day to those with Irish blood which I think a large proportion of Australians have.
Higs and hugs to all and Mrs Freddie, I hope your treatment is still going well. :-x
Well here is a feel good story. Today is my birthday and I got the shock of my life when I opened up my present from the 3 kids. They are shouting me flights to Sydney, accomodation and a Bridge Climb which all 3 will come along and do with me! I was so shocked and whilst I looooooove the gift, the fact that they have been so generous and thoughtful has overwhelmed. I cried and I love that even more than the gift itself.
So to all you okers who told me over and over at the very start of this thread that I wasn't to worry and that one day the kids would see the truth and be grateful for everything I do for them...........well I'm sorry, but at the time I found it hard to believe you, but as of today I know in my heart that what you said was true.
How lucky am I? Even though they drive me absoloute bat s hnit crazy at times, they are the best kids in the world.
Cyn..... I got teary reading your post!
Well done on raising such caring & thoughtful children, they are a credit to you and your integrity. I'm sure you will enjoy your trip, and make wonderful memories. ❤️
oh, and a BIG Happy Birthday, lovely lady. X
Hi everyone, I'm back and throughly exhausted. Drove to Melbourne and back home on Wednesday, then down to Melbourne again on Thursday. Stayed at the Austin overnight for my test, then back home Friday. Then down to Melbourne again yesterday for my soon to be sister in laws hens night, and back home in the wee hours of today.
Hope all your test results turn out ok Happy? X
Sounds like you need a good rest after such a busy few days!
I'm totally exhausted after a very busy weekend! Really struggled at work today.
Miss 16 sewed a lovely Cinderella costume and we found a matching one for Miss Samantha so we could all attend the movie Cinderella at the cinema. Bubba enjoyed the experience at 14 months old, and Miss 16 was very popular as a life sized Princess with many little kiddies flocking to have their photo taken with her!
We are going to contact an agency like "Starlight" and volunteer to visit children's centres and watch dvd's etc with children in need. She's a very thoughtful girl ❤️
My 2 Princesses!!!
