    Are all kids weird or have I bred some particularly special examples? Oldest boy wouldn't eat his lunch today unless he had an array of stuffed animals (whale, sheep, dinosaur and penguin), five scented candles arranged in a line, a wooden duck ornament, two heads of garlic, a picture of a snowman and a kitchen utensil that no one really knows the use of, all arranged on the table around him. And he didn't want his trousers on either.


    The innocence of children. Just let him be and enjoy the oddities. Once they become teenagers all hell breaks loose then you can worry  :D

    He gets his stubborn streak from his mother :p  He's always been a bit obsessed with bringing toys and things to the table but he doesn't refuse to eat if he can't have them. Especially yesterday when I made an especially good batch of Scotch pancakes (if I do say so myself) and they're his favourite. Below is a photo of his 'duck soup' phase when he would carry around two toy ducks in a copper saucepan and they'd come to have lunch with him.

    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Possibly their mother is tenacious rather than stubborn ... it might be just as well she is  ;)

    After the flaming saga of my recent script, hubby needed more meds, thought I had better go to the pharmacy,he would probably have lost it,it was ordered 10th February with mine, nope not ready,

    Nanny Beach, maybe it's reached the point where a complaint to the local health authority is in order.  I seem to recall the problems with prescriptions has been on-going for a long time.  I think it was you who said the surgery denied receiving requests for repeat prescriptions despite you taking them in personally.

    KT53 yes, thats correct, I know from 40 years of Nursing you have to be very careful, about complaining about Drs. We had problems with our last surgery regarding my son, who is registered disabled and I am his carer, we complained, not nastily, just to the practice manager, and my son was removed from their books. Thus, for some months actually leaving him without a GP, when we applied to the 3 next nearest ones, they wanted either a full driving licence, or passport as proof of who he was and address,, he has neither. I had just moved after this, so they wouldnt speak to me because I was no longer a patient.  Funnily, enough, I have just received a text, asking about my visit to the pharmacy, yes, I have filled it in.

    Is the issue that doctor is not issuing prescriptions? Does your husband need a medical review? Is he ordering too frequently? Maybe an appointment with the doctor is necessary to get to the bottom of the issue.
