[Solved] She doesn't mind sharing

Aw Pete that's fantastic news! I couldn't be happier for you and your little girl.

You have done everything in the right way and you and your family are now reaping the rewards. Brilliant!

Thanks Mojo,

mam and dad popped round here at lunch so i could say see you soon to her, and show her off to work colleagues too lol.

yeah, we wont to everything we can to help the ex, we have just had to bite our tongue and go thro the process as solicitors have expressed, but now all that has finished the ex has seen what could be possible if we work together, and her and my mum have always got on, and still do so they are working things thro.

Not sure what is happening in regards to thursday, I would forgo every thursday if it meant i could have her from sat afternoon to monday afternoon/morning. Hopefully ex, mum and the SW will work it all out and put it in writing. We could do what we have done every other weekend, and keep every thursday. I dunno, we never for saw any of what has happened

Tell you what tho, she has got a healthy appetite, she loves grandma's roast lunches and rice pudding especially, and she is a quick learner as we are teaching her to use her spoons, and in what must be only half a dozen meal times sat at the table she is trying to use her spoon.

This is all so new to me, it is exciting too, took her back to being spoon fed, but let her have her own spoon(s) to hold, and she was quickly picking up the motion of dipping her spoon in. on sundays we kept her yorkshire puds seperate and allowed her to use her hands for that, we are not totally intolerant of her using her hands, just want her to learn thats all. Aunt bessies arent as good as grandma's homemade either, she left some of aunt bessie's but devoured the home made ones tho, lol

She loves banana's too, hee hee I could go on and on lol

Oh well, when I get home it will shower and nit treatment for me 😉

Pete

It's lovely watching them develop and grow, they pick things up so quickly! I could sit for hours just looking at my grandsons beautiful little face...his expressions of wonder, his giggles and his pure joy of life.

Enjoy it all Pete and give yourself a huge pat on the back....good job, very well done!

Thanks NannyJ

Parents dropped her back to her mums yesterday around 2, didnt get time to give her a treatment for her hair tho, ex was fine according to mother, and she was very happy to see her mum again, it would have been 40 hrs or more without her mum and I reckon she has coped with it really well.

My head isnt itching this morning, which is nice, could save me a number 2 all over as I hate getting haircuts at this time of year, just far too cold. Mother sent her back with lots of treatement, enough for her mum and her brothers, hopefully she will apply the treatment this week and we will treat her when we get her too, this should irradicate the little devils, but we can not guarantee her mum doing the same which is a shame. Her brothers are old enough to have it done with out much fuss. As she will probably scream the town down when we do it to her, poor little thing.

We can only do what we can, and as I told my mam, we did brilliantly considering that we werent fully prepared to have her for an overnight let alone two nights, thats a long story, but wiht the help of friends we got everything we needed together, she had plenty of clean clothes, plenty to eat and drink, safe environment to play, she was so loved by us all, she really came out of her shell played with our friends little girl (we have sent them some treatment for them too). We shouldnt beat ourselves up, I know I want everything perfect but in this instance it wasnt to be, but we did a brilliant job imo. Called on at short notice and had an amazing weekend, first of what I hope to be is many.

So I have told mum numerous times we did everything we could and that was brilliant.

Pete

🙂
Im so pleased for you mate...he says with lump in his throat....sounds like you all had a great time.

Regards,

Dave

Thanks Dave,

Yeah it was, amazing, and to get her to have something to eat on sunday night I dipped her dummy into her yogurt, apparently yesterday dinner when mum gave her some beans and toast followed by a yogurt she kicked up right a fuss and wanted her dummy to dip in. Ha ha ha lol

This is fantastic news and I am so pleased for you, your family and of course your little girl.

It is also encouraging to see that things do work out in the end. I am still going through the court process with my ex but recently I have felt that things have started to turn a corner and despite the fact that the final hearing has been listed I intend on taking anohter chance at talking to my ex and trying to come to an agreement with her regarding contact before we are due back in court.

Anyway well done mate... I think all of us dads would take an infestation of nits just to have our kids

All the best

Graham

Hi Graham.

Thanks, and i doubt this will be the last infestation of the little blood suckers I have too 😀

No stories on here \re the same, yet we do share some common simialarites. I wish every dad the success I have had, I have had massive support from my parents, just couldnt of done it without them, and loads of friends too.

A support network is so essential, and even here has been a huge support, Many of the men and women on here, NannyJ especially, has listened and given a few words of support as they have been in the similar position with their loved ones.

NannyJ spoke some great comfort to me when I was stressed when Social Services had cocked up and failed to do the report in time, and I siad I could swing for the next person who tells me to 'keep ya chin up mate' or 'dont give up' to me that is a given, thats what we do by getting out of bed each day.

I dont think this is over just yet, I hope and pray it is but we have the Family Assistance Order in place for this year, I making sure that we are in contact with our Social Worker regulary and that we through the SW can offer the ex any assistance we can, to help raise our child the best we both can.

I think the penny has dropped with the ex that I am not going anywhere and instead of fighting, co-operation is what is needed and we can together raise a beautiful happy clever girl.

So Graham thanks again, and I hope you can take heart that there are solutions out there to be found and you will find yours soon, and thats to all the dads too.

Pete

So head startwed itching again yesterday, tried one of those zapper combs, didnt think it did any good, so got another load of the treatment stuff we have on and rubbed it in, combed thro and found 3 of the little feckers. Oh well not to worry, I think a hair cut is in order this lunch time, number 2 all over, and a wooly hat is needed too.

Seeing her again today, this afternoon, 2-6, but with work i can only get out at 3, so thats ok, parents will have an hour with her before coming thro to pick me up at 3.

had the number 2 all over.

could have cried, but lass in barbers said she couldnt find anything when she was doing it, and commended me on trying to get clear of nits and as she has done some peoples hair and they have them and are not bothered about them, also at least she was given her prior notice so she can clean her clippers too

Pete

You best dig your bobble hat out to keep your head warm now....:)
