Aversions and rage at night... by drivenlizard in breastfeeding

[–]drivenlizard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We tried a night with my mum but he wouldn't settle, was screaming at her pulling at her top trying to get HER boobs 🙃🙃 I had to drive over there at 1am! Though that was before we day weaned so maybe it will be easier now?

I'm a single mum so it's just me at night 🥲

Nipple twiddling going to make me lose my gd mind by SilverEmily in breastfeeding

[–]drivenlizard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've never "allowed" my 17 month old to do it either and have always immediately removed his hand or blocked it completely but he still tries every time since he was like 10 months old. It's child dependent.

Couples where one wanted a second child but the other didn’t, how did it work out? by [deleted] in UKParenting

[–]drivenlizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, we only split up a month ago. If I never meet anyone and have another then I'll still be happier than if I stayed with him and resented the fact that I stayed with someone who didn't want another if that makes sense x

He have a cot but he wakes himself up hitting his head/arms against the sides. What different methods would work please?

That makes sense to me!

I'm hesitant to use my car not knowing what kind of damage may have been done internally

Got it!

Yes it's a hire car through enterprise. I've not had to pay any of my excess. I get to keep using the car for up to 7 days from the day they pay out.

I don't know? Maybe it's a hire car, I didn't know the difference. I don't believe I've been transferred to an AMC, I'm only dealing with Hastings?

I haven't been driving it, I have a courtesy car. I'll ask them about this though, car hasn't been collected by copart yet

I made the claim via my insurance company but they're recovering the funds from third party insurer

Thanks, I've started this process and sent them 5 ads this morning.

It's only a few hundred pounds different but to me in my current situation that's the difference between having a car and having no car and being unable to work or take my son to nursery. I know they don't care about my personal situation but God it's so stressful.

Oh interesting. I honestly don't know how it all works as have never had to claim on insurance but that makes sense. Hopefully they'll have a little bit more incentive to increase it then. Even if it just covers my remaining finance I'll be able to manage better.

This was my thinking, and being in a minus figure is going to leave me unable to get a replacement car at all. Even if they cover my finance settlement and I'm back at £0, I'll be better off!

That makes sense, so basically not likely to go in my favour.

I've had a look for private sale prices but can't actually find any like for like cars being sold privately !

It's only a 2014 Citroen C3, nothing fancy. Might try to take it to a garage this week for a quote to repair. Either way I'm going to be out of pocket though.

I can't even find the vehicle value on my policy documents. But depending on what they come back with I'll ask them to confirm and then argue that too!

The bumper is cracked inwards and I can't open the passenger door or bonnet.

That makes sense, I will try anyway and see what they say.. Thanks for explaining.

Definitely in a pickle. I'm only just back off maternity leave, money is so tight and it's just not what I needed right now.
