I remember when I was a kid what hurt the most. Then I use them myself.
Like.i said earlier the kids mainly do as I say. Yet the wife still hasn't worked out why.
I remember when I was a kid what hurt the most. Then I use them myself.My mum used to take my extension lead so I couldn't plug my Spectrum in. Worst punishment ever.
I give the girls 1 minute to get decent.She has pulled a trick there though, because she always tells me she's not decent and I can't go in.
I have parental controls on her devices though and I can just set a time limit and a time they can no longer be used past (8pm at the mo).
Don’t fall for the child must have designer clothes thing the stuff from supermarkets is fine and they grow out of it so quickly sometimes they only wear things once
Agree with that as well.
We must have spent 600-700 in the leadup and first couple of months on clothes. She spent most of her time in ASDA George babygrows and all of the fancy stuff never even had the labels taken off.

Yeah, we're not like that at all thankfully. I've got a mate who is and thought he'd deck his kids out in designer clobber but thankfully he hasn't.
We've got other friends who've had kids recently and they've given us baby clothes as we're not all precious about having stuff that might have been worn once or twice before. Like you say, they grow so quickly at a young age that there's no point spending lots.
I'd imagine that we've probably spent about £50 on baby clothes so far but we have a full wardrobe in the nursery and a couple of full drawers of stuff we've been given (either used or unused) and stuff we've been bought.
As we don't know whether we're having a boy or girl, we have a lot of white and grey stuff so no doubt we'll get a more blue or pink stuff when they finally turn up.
Today is due date +12 so we're awaiting a call from the hospital in the next hour to go in today and be induced. Mrs WM isn't great to be honest as she's really worried about it. She had an 'examination' yesterday and is a bit tender. Really worried and it's horrible to see your loved one so worried.
I just keep trying to reassure her that she's in the last stages compared to the last 9 months and she needs to continue to think about the final outcome...our little son or daughter. Fingers crossed we can go in soon today and it doesn't take long. I reckon they'll eventually arrive on Thursday though.
At least tonight's game is on iFollow.
Imagine being brought into the world while our Checkatrade game v FGR is in full flow.
I managed all that until my daughter got to 11-12. Then suddenly she wanted all the designer/brand stuff (iPhone, Vans, Converse, Adidas, Nike etc.)Don’t fall for the child must have designer clothes thing the stuff from supermarkets is fine and they grow out of it so quickly sometimes they only wear things once
Plain t-shirt, good quality - £10. Stick a Ralph Lauren label on it and the price is at least quadrupled.

Despite a long chat about the lack of quality differential between a t-shirt that is £10 and a t-shirt that is £40, it still hasn't sunk in.
Keep telling her you pay for the little label name on the item.

Good luck and try to enjoy. It will be the longest however many hours it is in your life......until the next one.The hospital have just called and said it's unlikely to be today as they've got a backlog from yesterday.
FFS....

Throw in a takeaway curry as well as the walk - worked a treat for our 2nd child! - born two days before england were knocked out of the world cup by Portugal on pens by the wayThanks Astute. The only good thing about the hospital delaying bringing us in is that it gives my wife more time to have the baby naturally which she really wants to do as she's worried about being induced.
Once I finish work today (although I'm working from home again), we'll go out for a walk around tea time to see if that kick starts things.
The little bugger is either stubborn or lazy. Or both!

The best walk is up and down stairs while keeping feet far apart.Thanks Astute. The only good thing about the hospital delaying bringing us in is that it gives my wife more time to have the baby naturally which she really wants to do as she's worried about being induced.

Or pineapple juice apparently - not sure if she has to drink it though!The best walk is up and down stairs while keeping feet far apart.
Didn't work last time but at least it made me laugh.
Take her for a motorbike ride across a ploughed field! :emoji_smiley:Already tried that mate. Nothing!
Tried the walk as well to be fair and that didn't work but gets us out of the house for a little while!
They gave my wife a gym ball to move around and open up the passages
Pop back in, in 10 mins and see if it's still there or if she now has two enormous bumps.She’s got one of those and is currently sitting on it in the front room!

Best of luck SBWM. Not been there yet but I’m in that age bracket where it’s gonna happen sooner or later. Can’t imagine how exciting/anxiety filled your current situation is. Best advice that I’ve had from mates that I always think about is, think about the people you know who’ve managed to raise kids and you wonder how. If they can, then you can. My Godson turned 1 yesterday and brings joy to me every time I see him, can’t imagine what having your own is like, but cherish every second and get stuck in. I’m sure these last couple of days are horribly nerve wracking but got everything crossed for you that it all goes well and I’m sure it will
