But before you go, could you tell me why milk in not natural?
Well, we've had the little monkey for about a month now, so I'll give an update to anyone who's interested.
He still gets a bit teary, but immediately stops when I'm near him. It seems he wants to show me how 'tough' he is, which is bloody weird, but it works.1. He's a victim of the 'I want - I cry - I get' syndrome.
He only has one carton (225ml) of milk a day now. Sometimes with Ovaltine, sometimes it's choccy milk. He isn't at all mucusy now and is eating 90% of what we eat. He sits on the rug with us and sorts himself out (makes a fucking mess though ).2. The grandparents used to give him milk all through the night whenever he woke up, which seems to be every 30 mins or so. Also, milk seems to have been used as a substitute for food most of the time. The milk they gave us was shitty soya milk with a sugar content of 10%. I have noticed that he is very mucusy and I believe the large quantities of milk are at least partially to blame for this.
He has been sleeping in his own room since about 2 days after I started this thread. He sometimes wakes up once in the night; if he wants water, I'll give him some. If he's just being grizzly, a gentle 'bpai non, ja' sends him back to bed without me even having to get up. If Mum does it, we have a right old song & dance with trying to get him to sleep (so she doesn't any more).3. In a one roomed house, it is quite natural that the family all sleeps together. We don't live in a one roomed house, so that is going to stop too. Not yet though, as the poor little mite needs to settle in first and get comfortable with his surroundings and more importantly, get used to me.
He's hugely more vocal now. He still speaks Swahili or something, but he talks to us a lot (and vice-versa), which is very encouraging. The Midget bought a simple alphabet puzzle the other day. She's doing quite well with it...4. He can barely speak, which for 18 months is a bit poor.
We tried letting him go commando, but he pissed everywhere. He watches me in the shower and when taking a leak sometimes and we have bought him a potty. He doesn't like the potty yet, but it is there in the bathroom and I'm sure he'll start to copy me soon and use it occasionally.5. He still wears Pampers in the day time.
Overall, I'm really impressed with the way he has adapted to living in a civilised household and more so with the way he has started to bond with me. We went out to the local shop on the Wave yesterday, which would've resulted in gallons of tears a few weeks ago, but he was fine and wandered around the shop showing me all the bargains to be had, but without touching anything.
Very proud of the wee lad.
Well done.
When you going to make your own kid?
I'm not. There's enough kids around without me being a selfish kunt and bringing in any more.Originally Posted by Travelmate
Continue the family tree perhaps? MTD lives on, and all that..
Contradicts somehow with the civilized household claim:
Good to see though that everything seems to head for the better with him.Overall, I'm really impressed with the way he has adapted to living in a civilised household and more so with the way he has started to bond with me.
Sounds like you're doing a sterling job. Well done.Originally Posted by Marmite the Dog
Of course he will bond with you. He is just a baby and you are now his father figure. All little boys need that, desperately. Everyone, especially fatherless babies need someone that they can look up to and depend on. And a big strong, tall, kind man, would be the best he could get.Originally Posted by Marmite the Dog
Get a table and chairs Marmite, if you want him to be really civilised. He will still make a mess though; they aren't born with good table manners.Originally Posted by Fabian
Bugger!Originally Posted by Lily
I have, but the table is too big for him and besides, it's now my computer desk.Originally Posted by Lily
Okay. I will take back the kind man, taking the kitchen table for your own use, but seriously, to get a kid when he is still a baby is quite different than taking on a child who has known their own father and has lived with their mother, giving that child all their attention for years.
You will grow to love him and think of him as your own. Lots of people father children, but that is not what makes a parent.
Perhaps we need to teach the father how to eat at the table first.
Cheer Lil.
I like this kid. He just spilt a bit of water on the floor (he drinks from a proper cup, you see). Mum gives him a cloth and he clears it up.
Just got to train him up to do the dishes and laundry and we're sorted.
^Good luck with that.
I never managed to get mine to, but anything is possible.
Marmers you got it wrong. It the women that are suppose to do these kinds of jobs in the house. Boys get to go out and learn to hunt and fix things.Originally Posted by Marmite the Dog
When I have my own laddie. He will be trained to be one of the best rugby forward known to man.
Keep doing what your doing Marmers.
Geeez....so my post gets deleted....can't handle some reality huh....whimps.
Not by me.Originally Posted by Nawty
I leave your posts alone so all can see what a prize wanker you are.
Not very nice to call me a wanker....I have feelings also you know.
get him a high chair asap marmers. You sure as hell dont want to be chasing him down the street with a bowl of food. Nice job you are doing mate.
I like me box.....it helps with the diet.
Did you know that certain animals do not grow any larger than the immediate environment they are in.....fish for example...
