11thHour Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 (edited) I obviously dont mind anyone else being called Brooke as was pointed out "I dont own the name" but for me (and everyone else i've spoke to) Close friends copying you is just not the done thing. For me certainly if the missus suggested a name for our daughter due in January and it was the same as a close friend of mine it would be veto'd as they have already chosen the name and it just seems like almost taking the shine off of their name or trying to one up them? The missus is the same. Edited September 14, 2015 by 11thHour 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11thHour Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 There's only one Brooke P&B really care about: Naw, its bad form. I would never speak to them again if they do it. Damnit I cant see the gif in work! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redhead81 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Boys and girls usually - but not always - have different names, though... Totally correct! I should have phrased it better - I was going to be Ryan if I were a wee boy but my parents had different girls names in mind for both my sister and I 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Our eldest, who will be seven in December, has decided in the past couple of weeks that he doesn't like the idea of going to bed on his own. Tried letting him sleep in our bed (until he falls asleep, at which point I move him over), staying up later to make him more tired and pure bribery, but he's absolutely adamant that he wants to sleep next to someone, even his own brother who he basically doesn't give the time of day to at the best of times. I've been pretty lax, letting him have my tablet to play on before bed, but the past couple of nights I've been reading books with him, trying to get him settled, ready for bed, hoping that will help. Basically, I'm sure everything will be fine, but it is a bit of a challenge. I do lose my temper at times, especially after knocking my pan in at work and having him up to nearly 10pm when all I want to do is go to bed myself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever others say on here LM will sort it out anyway 7 is older than I'd have expected for this but when my son was 4/5 he was the same. I'd usually read to him in his own bed and wait until he snored. Sometimes I'd fall asleep with him and be woken by my ex. I'd not worry about it. Snuggle in and have a good sleep? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RH33 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Screens stimulate the brain, I have a no screens after dinner time rule. I think they go through phases like this, Niamh slept in beside her brother nearly all summer but has now gone back to her own bed. Maybe new school term/change teacher unsettled him and he needs that security and reassurance? Hard going though when you're out at work all day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 My little girl (now 5) went the same way for a wee while. So I ended up reading her bedtime stories (always 3, never more. They'll ask but you have to say no). Then I'd let her count to ten and switch the light off. I stayed in the dark room with her until she fell asleep, then sneaked back out. This went on for quite a while and became the routine. Then I started telling her I'd stay for a little while then I had to go for some reason (say, a shower or work to do). Then, eventually, told her I'd leave the hall light on while I went downstairs right away. That works for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Woolshed Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Sam was born this morning at 12:26 after a long day of not very much contracting. An emergency C-Section was needed but he's doing really well, as is his mum all things considered. 8pounds, 10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
