I swear if I lived there I'd run down to that ward and shove my boot up those nurses' vajuddys for you.lisalouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17076320705150651865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27522774.post-75927068452983423562009-03-10T10:52:00.000+00:002009-03-10T10:52:00.000+00:00Like I said in my original birth post, "whoever de...Like I said in my original birth post, "whoever decided that women who have just experienced major, traumatic surgery should also have to spend the night looking after a newborn DESPITE the fact that they are, in fact, unable to get out of bed due to various medical apparatus attached to them AND surrounded by other women with newborns, should be repeatedly kicked in the head and then set on fire."rockmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11069747273698110082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27522774.post-61142793594414273752009-03-10T10:25:00.000+00:002009-03-10T10:25:00.000+00:00I hesitate to comment because, as you know, my bir...I hesitate to comment because, as you know, my birth and hospital experiences were both very good; I had no idea what you went through and I am really shocked by the behaviour of the hospital staff. But, perhaps it may help to know that despite the really good birth experience I had with my baby, he still seems to be much more excited about his father than about me. 'Daddy' is one of his (still very small) stock of identifiable words. He screams with pleasure when his Dad comes through the door and in the morning (I'm the one who gets up early) he can't wait for the moment he'll be allowed to go through to our room and jump on his poor sleepy Dad. 'Mama', on the other hand, is still his all-purpose noise for 'there's something I want'. It's hard not to be jealous, especially as my husband currently does more of the childcare than I do, and frankly I am jealous. But I think little kids often do take their mums for granted. In a way that's good: it's a sign they feel completely secure. They take for granted that we'll always be there, mopping things up and loving them no matter what. (Though my devotion definitely wobbled when Hugh chucked my brand-new phone in the bin with all the vegetable peelings.) <BR/><BR/>Dot<BR/>xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27522774.post-29797015305219104092009-03-09T19:57:00.000+00:002009-03-09T19:57:00.000+00:00Wow.

"Oh, I'm sorry, am I interrupting your session of sitting around and insulting me? Pardon!"<BR/><BR/>Hopefully this time things will all work out.
