Thanks. I never knew that.
That said, I’m 5ft 1.5 and both mine were early but I’d not consider them low birth weights. 7lbs at 3 weeks early and 8lbs at 2 weeks early. Glad I didn’t go to term. 😬

Similar here, middle one was 7lb 1oz at 36+4 but his head was above the 95th percentile, for that reason alone I'm pleased he was early. His younger sister was 7lb 4oz at 39+6, she was no bother at all.
 
I've just read through some of shithole's threads under the name Ted10. She has a lot of issues, and from what I can see seems to struggle to understand the concerns of social workers etc that have been involved in her family. She has a 16 year old aggressive son that was seen to be a danger to the rest of the family but just can't accept this is a reason for involvement with her other kids. She is very much seeing herself as a victim and there just seems to be so little parenting going on with any of the children or attempt to understand their special needs. I know it's hard, I have a special needs child myself, but acting like this is not the answer.
I hope for her sake the council doesn't want to do an inspection of her new townhouse because it really isn't being looked after. :( She and her 6 kids need a lot of help.

Edit, I just read her post as georgieeb487 and it looks like she's just left a domestic violence situation herself and was raped in august. I just want someone to help her in real life really.

If this is ghostspirit (and shithole101 does sound a LOT like her) then her life will always be a chaotic mess, and her kids (sadly) will most likely grow up to be the same. It looks like her daughter now has two young kids and has had social services involvement herself.

She’s been on MN for donkey’s years, talking about her issues with her kids, home, exes. I expect she also has special needs of her own.

This is ironic to me as where I live i used to have contact with lots of children of different ages from the various private schools and although there is lots of choice all I ever heard from all of these children was ‘plain pasta, cheese and cucumber’. It’s all they’d touch. And this is a fairly big cross section. Sometimes they’d add sweetcorn to really mix it up.
Staff never ate with kids either! Kids left with a couple of overworked dinner ladies trying to coax them to eat anything more than the aforementioned plain pasta.
 
I fear you are right @maytoseptember . I easily found a couple more of her names and the whole thing is a shitshow from start to finish. It's hard to see any positive ending for any of them as they are all just following the same pattern and her children are repeating what they have seen growing up. I feel like you can already see what their future holds. A lot of services out there have been cut to the bones and are tit, but there is help out there. I just don't feel like her family has a chance right now. I hope they can break the cycle.
I think she mentioned in one of her other threads that she does have a learning disability. She seems choosy about what she remembers though as she claimed on this most recent one that she didn't know what coeliac disease was yet talked about being tested for it on another thread. The anemia has been going on for a long time as well and is not new.
The whole story is just sad.

It is sad. Sad and pretty hopeless. Her family is one of thousands of struggling chaotic families up and down the country. And the problem is, I expect she honestly believes that none of this is down to her or the result of her making poor choices. People like her believe that life just happens to them 🤷‍♀️
 
1/2 of mumsnet obsessed by the cost of living & their Sons in the shower s for longer than the obligatory 2 minutes 40 seconds that they allow ( due to water shortage/ cost of living/ Planets resources/ War torn areas/ gas burning contributing to Global warming/ etc) & steam up, banging on the door. Cue the usual posts -

He's having a wank
How old is he, OP?
He's masturbating
6 minutes is far too long


Etc etc
 
My husband (who earns high 6 figures and it’s not fair we don’t get child benefit) pays for our children to board at Eton. Ptolemy and Peregrine - I think those are their names, silly Peri me forgets as I’ve not seen them for months - receive silver service for their cheesy pasta and peeled cucumber. I couldn’t abide them not being ready for the Ivy or Gstaad.

Regarding stuff on the stairs - surely I’m not the only one who leaves things on the stairs in the vain hope somebody (anybody!) will actually grab a handful next time they go up?
 
The only stuff on my stairs is bloody dog hair.
Hoover bags full of the stuff!
I actually lost my rag the other day when I stood at the bottom of the stairs and threw a 28 roll pack of loo roll up them so they'd land in the bathroom at the top.
The cowing things launched themselves right back at me, bouncing off every step, hurtling towards me with a vengeance and landed on the dogs head.
So I tried again, with the same results, minus nutting the dog.
By the time I'd done launching them, it would have been quicker and used less energy to actually walk up the pissing stairs with them!

There’s a great bun fight brewing about breast feeding after drinking. One poster is acting like the OP will be feeding the baby pornstar martini directly from her tits.

When I had my daughter last year our IBCLC (ie an actual, qualified, evidence based breastfeeding expert) told me to crack open a bottle of wine whilst feeding her. So I’d sit there with a baby hanging off one nipple whilst I had a lovely glass of wine and some crisps. Apparently the rationale is that it makes the time between your baby’s next feed and the alcohol hitting your blood as far apart as possible.

They’re so bloody po faced about alcohol, any more than a thimble full every 3rd Christmas and you’re clearly unable to control yourself.

Mine goes in for approx 15 seconds. If he went in for 6 minutes I'd be having a happy dance.

You're so right, if anyone mentions having a glass of wine for no good reason i.e. nobody's birthday, you're not at a wedding, there's nothing to celebrate, then kindly, perhaps you should consider going to AA for support with your raging alcoholism.
