Went to a black tie Ball on Saturday as a fund raiser/celebration for 35 years of the local Hospice.
Plenty of fit babes in slinky tight ball gowns and word is that knickers spoil the lines, so they are left off.

No,, don't feel like that. I know when Georgie wasn't sleeping I could have quite happily thrown her out of the window just to get some peace. I know I shouted at her a couple of times. . Lack of sleep is horrible.

The world's worst parent wouldn't beat themselves up for shouting at their kids. Been there, done worse, we're all human. Well most of us are, not sure about Darren!

Cavetroll, as Monty and Kwacky have said, don't beat yourself up. Welcome to parenting. We all find ourselves acting less than ideal at times.
The best advice I was given was when it all gets to much, as long as they are in clean nappies and fed, just put them in their cot, shut the door and give yourself 5-10 mins. They won't die from crying and you regaining composure will help you deal more calmly with the situation.
My daughter had major stomach issues that turned out to be a pinched nerve from birth for 3 months. It was that bad I was on leave and slept on her floor for a month. I was getting an hours sleep at a time at the best. By chance my ex was talking to her chiro about it and she sorted out daughter out in a couple of sessions.

Oh and just wait till the first time you drop them on their head, then the yelling will seem like feck all!
And then after about 4-5 drops you realise they are pretty hardy after all

Cheers guys, appreciate it, he is 16 months old now, it was nothing new, just last night seemed to be a bit tougher than normal, I think it was the fact we were literally up for 3 hours solid.
Oh and Kiwi don't worry, dropped him plenty, they bounce quite well. In all seriousness what we have found is if he falls over and bumps his head, if we make a big deal he reacts to it, if we just carry on and distract him with toys or something he is fine.

Just found some pics of the night online, they had one of those club photographers walking around. Not posting the pic of me and Jess, we both look well trollied!!!
Just a selection, the photographer seemed to miss a couple of stunners that are etched in my mind
