heedthebaa Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Grandparents do struggle, I know we do at times, you don't have the energy levels you had in your youth as parents, but patience and toleration are miles better. We don't like to say no and if you do at times, the guilt comes over you. parents do seem to be relying on their parents more than ever nowadays 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't like to say no and if you do at times, the guilt comes over you. parents do seem to be relying on their parents more than ever nowadays I know we'd really struggle if our parents didn't have the kids as often. The cost of childcare is so expensive, which really doesn't help. Grandbairn No4 here safe and sound. Wee Myla Elizabeth weighed in at 8 11oz and 56cm long.

Honest Saints Fan Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 We have no option than to put the wee one into Nursery come May. The one we have chosen is £36 a day which is about average up here. I'm only going back to work 3 days a week though. Anymore and it wouldn't be worth working really! Congrats htb! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats htb! 2 afternoons a week costs us £212.50/month. Thankfully she goes in to the school nursery after Christmas, we'll be paying £10/week for an extra afternoon so we have her in 3 full days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) My daughter (11) is a bit old to mention on here but was off sick the other day. She spent the day on the sofa watching Father Ted. Kicking Bishop Brennan Up The Arse had her about hyperventilating and she quotes it non-stop. "Don't call me Len you little p***k". It's good when the phase of Dora etc passes and you can watch decent stuff together. So many great kids films these days too.

Jimmy85 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Left the wee one alone for 30 seconds and she'd managed to locate her mums sun glasses and taught herself how to play air guitar. She's a fucking weirdo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supermik Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Grandson is starting to head in the right direction. He is now just over 7 weeks old and he weighed in yesterday at 9lb 2oz. He still gets drowned out by any clothes that we try to put on him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
