Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted July 22, 2024 Paid Members Posted July 22, 2024 I think I posted before on here that whenever my daughter had pins and needles when she was younger, she’d say she had “a spicy foot”. She’s 10 now and it’s stuck. We all call it a spicy foot or leg in this house now and don’t even bat an eyelid. My wife’s just told me earlier on she couldn’t find her phone. Turned out my daughter was sitting on it and didn’t realise until someone tried to phone my wife and it started buzzing. Apparently she didn’t even look up from her tablet, just passed the phone to her mum and matter of factly said “my bum was fizzing”. Kids are weird.

Not just in your house either, that's what it's been called in our house ever since you first mentioned it on here!
deathrey Posted July 23, 2024 Posted July 23, 2024 A fizzy bum ? I'm going to have to start using that along with spicy foot with the kids. Your daughter is a trend setter @wandshogun09 (well for the UKFF)
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted July 23, 2024 Paid Members Posted July 23, 2024 This was when she was a baby. The expression makes me wonder if this was her experiencing her first case of ‘spicy foot’…
DavidB6937 Posted July 25, 2024 Posted July 25, 2024 2 day trip to Great Ormond Street for an MRI and various other stuff. I think the last time I went a hospital was when my dad died so I have an incredible amount of anxiety attached to them. But the staff have been incredible with our son and done as much as they can. There's a long road ahead but trying my best to keep my shit together.

DavidB6937 Posted September 30, 2024 Posted September 30, 2024 Did a thing massively outside my comfort zone and did an interview with local radio recently. They've written it up here if anyone's interested. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/czj9m3wgjgzo

Having agreed to wait until we wed to try for kids, we started pretty much straight away after the big day. Eighteen months on, and despite being at it 2 or 3 times a week, fuck all is happening. At the beginning, waiting those few minutes until we could look at the test result was dead exciting. Just a case of “ah well, maybe next time”. And you know what, I really believed it. Now, we dread herself taking the test because each negative result is a kick in the bollocks. She’s hurting every time, and while I try my best to be strong for her, I’m gutted every time too. Anyone have any experience with struggling to conceive? Always just figured kids would be in my future but having to accept they might not is a tough pill to swallow. So, sixteen months on since I posted this and we’ve the grand total of fuck all in the way of a positive pregnancy test. On the flip side though, after a meeting with a fertility doctor, we’ve started the IVF process. So far, this has involved a consultation, a shit load of paperwork and an appointment for me very soon to yet again drop a load into a container for analysis. Trying to stay positive, but I’ve this sinking feeling that it’s just not meant to be. Given the length of the IVF waiting list too, we’ll both be early 40s in all likelihood if a little one comes along (if it works), which is pretty daunting in itself. It’s all just bollocks.
Members SuperBacon Posted October 27, 2024 Members Posted October 27, 2024 Stay positive mate, there are options out there. Sending all my best. 5 minutes ago, Wretch said: appointment for me very soon to yet again drop a load into a container for analysis. Sounds better than 99% of the dates I've ever had!
deathrey Posted October 27, 2024 Posted October 27, 2024 Honestly @Wretchit is shit. Having the analysis will help, it may give you an idea of where the 'problem' lies and the things you can do to help in the meantime. Sometimes, these tweeks can result in a surprise pregnancy. Try to keep faith that things will work out in the end. It's hard, it's awful and I know hope is very difficult to come by when you are in the situation. Sending you both lots of positive vibes
Browser Brady Posted November 11, 2024 Posted November 11, 2024 So our 20 month girl has gotten a few bad reports from creche. Firstly biting, then pinching other kids. Today we were asked to come and collect her early as she was being especially badly behaved. Not sure if this is a “ah all kids do it” situation or whether she may have behavioural problems ? When she doesn’t get her way she gets a bit “hands on” On the few occasions she does it at home i give her a stern voice and stop what we are doing. I make her look me in the eye to show that i’m not happy. At the end of the day she isnt even 2 yet. Not sure if this is something that we should be worried about ?

It's not really an all kids do it situation. A lot of kids might have a one off but I think repeated behaviour (to the point they feel they have to send her home because she's being violent) means it's probably something you need to look into and not write it off as "kids will be kids". It's probably just a phase but sounds like she might need your help in getting through it. Edited November 11, 2024 by LaGoosh
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted November 11, 2024 Moderators Posted November 11, 2024 Am surprised any kid of that age would be sent home tbh. Be interested to know what techniques they are using to try to combat the behaviour. Obviously you are responsible for managing that behaviour at home when you see it but they need a plan for dealing with it in the moment when it happens and sending her home is not going to do anything.

My wife has an appointment with a child specialist in the next 2 weeks so we’ll see where that takes us. She is an only child , she has only done it once or twice at home but i’ve no doubt the crèche aren’t making it up either.
