I get irrationally butthurt when people give shout outs to the mommas whose LO's have sleep issues/dont STTN because I am never mentioned! We haven't slept through the night nor have we come close and I feel very alone about it and I irrationally want to disappear during those posts because it feels so LONELY already and those posts just bum me out, LOL!
I am sick. Sore throat and all around awful feeling but yesterday I shared a spoon with Colin as I ate ice cream. He so far (knock on wood) as an immune system like an ox and was throwing a fit to have some and I was too lazy to get him a spoon.
Lyla doesn't STTN either and I also bedshare. I'm never mentioned when either of these topics are brought up.
Right there with you on both counts. And I hope you feel better soon, eav2c!

Mel is a clingy whiny mess today. It started yesterday and has gotten worse today. She is crying over everything and wants to be in my arms with me walking around. Now she is bringing me stuff.
I have never wanted a babysitter and house cleaner so badly in my life.
That makes me feel so guilty and like a little bit of a failure.
Going out will make her happier, but I want to keep lounging around in pajamas. Plus, she isn't going to be fun in the park because the slides will be hot and if we just walk,I'll want to shop.
I also never really got the married couple/seperate finances thing.
Especially in a situation where one person earns the most money, then the other person if they can't afford things they have to ask their spouse for money?! I guess I don't really get it, it probably works great for some people though.
just seems like more work, I'm lazy.
We have one account that both our paychecks go into. We both try not to spend money and we discuss purchases, to some degree. I mean I don't call him and tell him I'm thinking about buy two sandwiches for lunch instead of one.
for us it's different because we also split the bills we pay. i make the most, so i am responsible for more bills and savings. it ends up so we have an equal amount of spending money. but now that i'm really focusing on saving, i have ZERO spending money.
Before we were married we split bills by percentage as well since my husband made so much more than me. I feel like since savings benefits the whole family, a percentage should be taken from both paychecks. Also you mentioned because of taxes your H brings home almost as much as you, are your bill payment percentages based off of take-home? I don't think it's unreasonable for you to ask your H to contribute to savings.
I think I might have a gluten and/or dairy intolerance! This is a confesh because I always kinda privately side-eye people who are really strict about that. But MY GODDANG BELLY HURTS ALL THE TIME!
I suspected this and cut out gluten in February and it seriously has been life changing. I feel so amazing now (and I've lost almost 30 lbs pretty easily).
I wonder about this too. I frequently don't feel great in the stomach area. Its not a life ruining thing so I just deal.
Also gluten is in EVERYTHING particularly everything that is delicious. Like bagels
DH is going out of town for a golf tournament this weekend. We haven't been getting along lately, so I am glad he's going to be gone. I think time apart will do us both good. At the same time, I am so pissed that I'll be left home alone with E while DH is off having fun with our college friends.
Camden is in a pissy mood (as usual) and I am just so over it today. I have Sesame Street on in his room, and just turned Barney on in the living room. He's wandering between the two rooms, and then pulling at my leg while whining his head off. I just played with him, gave him my FULL attention for the last hour. Give Momma a BREAK for a second. Sheeeesh! I am going to explode. I LOVE my child but he needs to get away from me now.
We just recently join our checking accounts. My FFFC part is I liked it better the old way. I was able to tell him I needed more money for bills, and either splurge a little on myself, or save it. We seem to save less now. After the car repair is paid off, I am going to put my foot down and give him an allowance. I am tired of feeling like we have no money because he nickle and dimes it away!!
I was in the bathroom and Audrey kept climbing on me. So I kept asking her where the cars were and pointing them out to her and telling her to go get them. It worked, but I feel bad for the cats. Poor buddies.
Lyla doesn't STTN either and I also bedshare. I'm never mentioned when either of these topics are brought up.
We can have our own little group! I didn't know you bedshared too! Dude, we can totally commiserate together. Colin has become an all out brat in the morning about my boobs. From the hours of 6-830 my boob HAS TO be out so he can come and go as he pleases and if I put my boob away he screams, shakes his head, and whines (this is all while still in bed). I feel like I'm a 24/7 milk machine and it gets lonely!
Can I be in your group? I get the exact SAME thing from 5-6:30 most mornings When I try to get a few minutes more of sleep. G thrashes, kicks and scratches at me, then happily latches on for a few minutes, then rolls over and sleeps for a minute or two, and repeats the process 5 minutes later. But if I try to drag myself out of bed right away, she's yawning and still looking like she wants more sleep.

D doesn't STTN and we don't bedshare. Everyone thinks we bedshare. Stomps feet. (Ok, we bed shared for awhile and then transitioned to the PNP in our room and she comes back into bed as needed). So THERE is my confession, she is 14mos old and spends most of her sleeping time in a PNP while a fancy crib and organic matress act a laundry bin in the next room. We tried at 11mos and I have no motivation to try to clean that room out again and try again. Maybe after my trip. I'm using my trip as the excuse for eveything.

Hang in there! I had one of those days earlier this week and I was really close to a breakdown. I've been really down the last week and the clingy and overall brattiness is getting on my last nerve. I hope your day gets better. ((hugs))

You should plan a girls weekend (or just one night) away in the coming weeks. Even things up a bit.

Omg, yes! My H and I don't sleep in the bed right now but he comes in every morning to leave Colin's medicines and he sent me a text that Colin was using me as a slurpee buffet this morning (I was asleep). Colin and I were up from 12-3 and then wanted to start partying at 630am, ugh!

Aw thanks! Its so hard being a SAHM when they have their moments. His attitude is slightly better than it was when I posted my rant about him, but he still has bad days. And a lot of them. Whats getting me through is knowing DH only has 1 more week of school and then he's off for the summer and I can finally get a break. I think more than anything, Camden needs a break from ME. I have never met a kid more attached to their mom in my life. Its bad.
And I hope you're doing better, Eav! I'm sorry Colin isn't sleeping good either... thats gotta be sooo tough on top of the brattiness. I know when Cam gets crappy sleep, that makes his moods 10x worse. ((((((Hugs)))))) (hug)

I know it sounds terrible, but I don't really trust (maybe not the best word, but I can't think of what to use here) DH overnight or for extended periods of time with E. DH has horrible hearing issues, and I worry that he wouldn't hear E crying! I've been home and left DH on baby duty and had to stop what I was doing b/c DH didn't hear him, even with the monitor right with him.

The prepackaged GF stuff tastes like shit and has unhealthy ingredients in it, so I have to cook a lot more now, but it's been worth it. My energy is up, I don't get stomach aches anymore or a sick feeling after eating, my skin has cleared up, my brain fog has gone away, etc. I'm pretty sure DS is gluten intolerant also and I'm not going to have him suffer. He's already putting on weight and speaking better since I cut out dairy and gluten. My husband accidentally gave him a fruit bar with wheat in it the other day and he had horrendous diarrhea that night. I had the same reaction 2 months ago when I ate something with gluten.

But but but Camden is soooo cute! I bet he is just a doll and grows out of this and everyone else's babies are complete terrors, lol. Colin is very attached too. He will puke sometimes when I walk out of the room. The EI person said it could be a sensory thing but I think I've just spoiled and given him everything. The child is my life, how can I not? lol. My H says "you've created a monster!" haha!

LOL. I am hoping he'll grow out of this as other kids are starting the terrible 2's when they're ACTUALLY 2, and I can then feel good about my well behaved 2 year old!! I can only hope.
And I've created a monster too, and I can say all of this stuff, but I am very attached to him too. If he hurts himself and DH tries to soothe him, I get really jealous and like, 'gimme gimme gimme!' I just want to hold and kiss him!! But when he's being a PITA, I'm like, 'Here DH, he's yours." haha
Camden is starting to 'almost' puke now. He never used to do that, it freaks me out! But if I leave him with someone he doesnt know well, he cries so hard he gags. Or if I try to put him down for a nap in a weird place (ILs house, which isnt weird. He takes naps there every weekend), he cries and gags. I hate it!!!!

I was just going to post that DH still regularly sleeps in the guest room bc he's "so tired" when she wakes him up in the middle of the night. But then I deleted it bc I thought we were the only ones. It works better for us that way -- I really can't deal with an over-tired, needy grown-up. CH at the slurpee buffet . I'm happy when I can sleep through her early morning antics.
Mine: I better get a damn cake today at work, I'm irrationally getting nervous and annoyed that no one has thought to get me a damn cake. I sound like a whiny 5 year old, but it's all good. I've been here 8.5 years, where is my damn cake?!?! lol.
This morning A really got on my damn nerves, I LOVE that child but DAMN he is a fucking ball of energy, it ruins many of my mornings.
A week ago we got invited to two different social events for tomorrow (we are soooo popular, lol) and we committed to one a week ago. Ever since we commited I've been feeling very "meh" about the decision. Well DH's Best friend called him yesterday and invited us over for tomorrow. They have 3 boys so that is awesome, A loves to play with their eldest son. They have a really nice home and apparently will be busting out their new water slide thing......yep....you better believe we changed our RSVP to "regret" for the first bbq we responded to and being the assholes we are, are now going somewhere else that has better stuff to do. sssh, don't tell anyone.
Also, I finally have a weekend free next month where DH is taking A camping, so it's just N and I. For a solid week now I have thought about creating a thread to see which of our fellow MA/NH ladies might be free to do a GTG. I have whined forever about not having any time to ever meet any of you, but now that I do, I am nervous about putting it out there. What if no one wants to meet? What if you meet me and think I suck? Will I get roped into to crazy details of coordinating this when I can hardly keep track of what's for dinner these days? haha, maybe I'll grow a pair and start a thread.

This is so silly, but I get mad when H is tired because I know coffee would "cure" that and he doesn't drink coffee! I never say anything because, what a weird thing for me to be mad about!

- I have 3 pairs of those jcrew shorts. I got every single one of them at Goodwill. I freaking love the Goodwill near my house. Its all the fancy folk's donations. I have a pair of AMAZING Helmut Lang skinny black pants that make me feel like a model. Or at least have a model's mile high legs. I'm five foot nothing and just tuck the extra 2 feet of leg into my boots I keep telling H that its my new favorite store. He doesn't believe that I will stay off of Newbury Street, but I honestly get excited to go looking for good finds at GW ,more than anywhere else.

before becoming a SAHM, where a worked we always did cake or what're fur birthdays. Well the vp knew it was my bray for some reason, he's ahead of a few hundred people so u was kinda shocked. Well he loves cake and he came over to wish me a happy bday and he was like what, no cake?!? The he told my direct boss to go get one and to cancel his meeting. It was do funny 30 mins later, I had an awesome cake!!
This is so silly, but I get mad when H is tired because I know coffee would "cure" that and he doesn't drink coffee! I never say anything because, what a weird thing for me to be mad about!
Hahahaha! I get pissy at mine for sleeping hard. I am a light sleeper. Not his fault.
I get irrationally butthurt when people give shout outs to the mommas whose LO's have sleep issues/dont STTN because I am never mentioned! We haven't slept through the night nor have we come close and I feel very alone about it and I irrationally want to disappear during those posts because it feels so LONELY already and those posts just bum me out, LOL!
I am sick. Sore throat and all around awful feeling but yesterday I shared a spoon with Colin as I ate ice cream. He so far (knock on wood) as an immune system like an ox and was throwing a fit to have some and I was too lazy to get him a spoon.
I feel the same way too. I never have a call out for anything. I have not gotten a full night of sleep ever.
There was a call out thread for MOOK and I was missed on that too. Sometimes I check to see if I have my invisibility cloak on.
