My husband's taken our littlest daughter (17 months) to Australia to say goodbye to his rapidly worsening father who only has days/weeks left.


I was quite sanguine about it all when I dropped them at the airport. Yey, only one daughter for a week, virtual freedom!


But....I miss them loads!! I'm such a sook.


Our oldest (4 in a fortnight) is the same, she misses them both loads.


I know they are only away from a week, but it feels like I've left my right arm behind somewhere.


I need to regain my composure clearly :)

Much love your way (and your hubby's for that matter).


I enjoyed hearing the word 'sook' as you don't hear it much in the UK. And yes, you are a sook, but you're entitled to be. You must now go and watch family videos and make yourself weep....in for a penny, in for a pound I say....x

Oh, sad circumstances for them to be away, sorry to hear that :(


Try to make the most of the time you have with your big girl, she will love having Mummy to herself for a week, and they'll be back before you know it.


"sook"... love it, a very common word in NZ but I don't think I've ever heard anyone use it here!


P x

You're not the only one you know, I've noticed a significant increase in moping from the lovesick mocklet!!


Anyway, chin up old girl, I was exactly the same when I was on holiday last week, spent the last 3 days of 5 in the big apple whinging to missus mockers about how much i missed the wee boy.

Awww thanks guys. Now I'm not sure I'll have time to think about them this weekend (yeah right!). Eldest Madam has me on a strict programme of cupcake and cookie making, princess movies, an ED (and surrounds) playground crawl - and then if I'm not on my knees by then, an extended visit to Scoop!


I'm not sure who is leading who astray here :)


There will be some happy kids at nursery on Monday with all the baked goods being crafted :)) Little mocklet included??

If it makes you feel better, I went out yesterday morning, with the in-laws babysitting - Bugglet (now 8.5mths) was on her morning nap and so would find them there when she woke and I was so nervous... I got round the corner and was already on the phone to hubbie saying I felt like I'd had a limb amputated and felt a bit choked :-$ (especially daft as I've had no problems her asleep with babysitters several times!).


Needless to say, I got home to find out she'd slept for nearly twice as long as she has done any other day this week, and wasn't bothered by my absence until my return!

    • Rant ahead: You're not one of them but unfortunately, there's a substrate of posters here that do very little except moan and come up with weird conspiracy theories. They're immediately highly critical of just about any change, and their initial assumption is that everyone else is a total fucking contemptible idiot. For example: don't you think that the people who run the libraries will have considered the impact of timing of reconstruction on library users? (In fact, we know they have - because they've made arrangements at other libraries to attempt to mitigate the disruption). After all, these are the people that spend their whole working week thinking about libraries and dealing with library users (and the kids especially). You don't go into the library game for the chicks and fame - so it's fair to assume that librarians are committed to public service and public access to libraries, including by kids. Likewise the built environment people (engineers, architects, construction managers, project managers, construction contractors, subcontractors or whoever is on this job) are told to minimise disruption on every job they do. The thing that occurs to us as amateurs within 30 seconds of us seeing something is probably not something a full time professional hasn't thought about! Southwark Council, the NHS, TfL, Dulwich Estate, Thames Water, Openreach - they're not SPECTRE factories filled with malevolent chaosmongers trying to persecute anyone. They're mostly filled with people who understand their job and try to do their best with what they've been given - just like all of us. Nobody is perfect or immune from challenge, and that's fair enough, but why not at least start from the assumption that there's a good reason why things have been done the way they have? Any normal person would be pleased that their busy, pretty, lively local library is getting refurbished, and will have more space and facilities for kids and teens, and will be more efficient to run and warmer in winter. But no, EDT_Forumite_752 had kids who did an exam 20 years ago, and this makes them an expert on library refurbishment who can see it's all just stuff and nonsense for the green agenda and why can't it all be put off... 😡😡😡
    • I completely misread the previous post, sorry. For some reason I thought the mini cooper was also a police vehicle, DUH.
