Yeah, the know it alls.  Just ignore them.  My mum can't get away with saying things like that because I remember too much! rofl.

It sounds like your Nan isn't being very well looked after.  I'd do a better job, and considering that I am not very domestically inclined or very aware of dirty nappies here (that's what Les is for), that is saying something.  Don't worry, I wouldn't get all baby gooey on her, your nan probably has teeth!

So sorry to hear about your nan. She really should be treated better. Perhaps the nurse was just having a bad day - stuff at home or the 20th "accident" that shift. If it diffuses your anger, then it may help to asume this, in case you come across her again?

People have very short memories about their kids toddlerhood in particular. We all know that almost NO kids go from 18 months to 4 years with no tantrums, but the way people talk, you'd think Toddler Tantrums had only just been invented! And when it comes to other parents, well what goes around comes around. I can still remember a fiesty little 3 year old boy picking on my just-walking Sophie, but now it's her picking on the younger ones . Just as well I didnt make a scene back then!

 I feel for you on the whole "my kids would never do that thing". My mother was recently visiting and the whole time kept saying, "My girls never did that!". Well mom, they are BOYS! They are different. I think people try to forget the bad times when they get older or something. I'm sure you're doing a great job. Keep your chin up!

Hey emmie. I bet it was heart breaking to see your nan like that. I would've been so mad at the way that they hadn't seen to her. I feel like giving you and your nan the biggest hug ever. It would've made me cry to the max. I hope you're ok now emmie.

People are always prepared to think that " their chi;dren wouldn't do that " but no child is perfect, neither is anyone of us perfect either, we just like to think we do the best  for our children and we all have good days and bad days with them. Those of us who think our children are perfect are now probably grandparents with VERY short  memories and have forgotten the times ours were naughty......... and believe me they were!!!!!!!!

Love Pauline

 Wouldn't it be nice if our kids were perfect, no it wouldn't kids are meant to be kids.

So sad for you, for finding your Nan in that situation and for your poor Nan being in that situation, how awful that no-one had not seen to her. It is so sad and heartbreaking watching someone we love suffer with a sickness, plus get old.

Hope your doctor does the right thing by you with the counselling.

Tons of Love Mum xxxxx

Hey Emmie,

So sorry to hear that your Nan isn't well. Sometimes I wonder about people who decide to work in that occupation.  Yes, that part of the job isn't the best, but it's part of the job and they shouldn't be sighing and showing that it's such an injustice when that is what they are paid for and they chose to work in that job.

As for perfect kids...lol!!! Yeah, they wish.  I also have put up with this on numerous occasions. Before I moved here, at my last house, the lady that lived behind me drove me crazy!!! My 11 year old when he was about 3 wasn't very good with language at the time, so if one of his brothers was annoying him, he used to scream and she'd carry on saying that she couldn't hear her TV!!! I found that hilarious, considering she listened into just about everything I said outside her house and often commented on it...the final straw was when she had the nerve to tell me to "shut up"!!!

I'd rather my children be children and learn from their mistakes than be supposedly perfect.  I think I lot of people forget what their children were like when they grow up.

You've done great to go a week without your anti depressants...yay!!!!

Hi matey, i feel for you seeing your poor nan like that so hard not being able to do anything. Ive know some parents like that with perfect kids and found most of the time i like the kids better, at least you know what your dealing with and the parents are the bigger pains. Good luck with your not taking meds very brave and hope it all goes well for you and yours
