I've HAD it with David today. I just put him to bed and it's 6:30 here. He got a bad report at school, didn't listen to me all day, tried to head butt me during speech because I wouldn't let him hold the papers, got two time-outs and didn't give a shit. So I said fine, you're going to bed when a tantrum of epic proportions ensued. His tantrum was so bad, me and H walked out of that room and looked at each other like "Whatthemotherfuckingfuck?" I just want my sweet boy back :-( But he HAS to do speech and he fights me on it every night because he hates it and hitting is no okay, obviously. Jesus. It's so strange how he can be so happy and and easy-going then go totally apeshit. Ugh.

Confession: I am already dreading having to help with homework and our kid is only 14 months old. If she's not good at math I will not be able to help her. It's anxiety inducing years in advance!
Vent: Our CPA sucks. I just got home to a collections letter for $1800 for unpaid tax. I get that our area is complicated, but we paid him $800 so that we didn't have to mess with it. We had no notifications that there was any overdue tax until this collections letter. Feck.

I'm so sorry. What a freaking rough day. If it makes you feel any better, Sophia told me she wants a new mom today when I wouldn't let her do what she wanted. Time for wine!
My flameful is that I'm already comparing DD to other babies her age. She is 10 weeks and while she can lift her head for short periods of time, she can't do it for nearly as long as the other babies her age. It makes me sad to know that she is already falling behind at such a young age. Also, she didn't gain as much weight this week and I'm scared we'll have to put her on formula. It's not the worst thing in the world, but I've worked so hard to nurse her and pump bottles so I have plenty of milk, I guess it's just not providing all the calories she needs to grow. Pity party for one over a daughter who is beautiful and strong and so very sweet.
If I'm remembering your backstory correctly, please, please don't fret about this. She may reach her milestones a little later, but she's still going to reach them. You're working on a different "calendar," so to speak. (((hugs))) to you. I don't have kids yet, so I hope I'm not being insensitive.

Haha, you know me too well! Already got my wine.
Strangely, he has not said a word after going to bed. I think he knows he's in deep. We've never sent him to bed early. I told him the next time he doesn't want to do speech, it's straight to bed. Ugh. I hate this part of being a parent

She has a sacral dimple, and my doc ordered an ultrasound for her after I asked about it today. I know it can be nothing, but I'm nervous that no one can say for sure.
((Betty)) I hope everything turns out to be just fine.
I think my H thinks I'm a horrible, lazy, worthless person.
This is making me sad. Is everything cool?
It's okay. I think I made it sound worse than it really is. He just assumes that I won't help him do anything and then gets super stressed out. It's like he assumes the worst about me.
I just ate an entire jar of pickles and I am not ashamed. Okay, maybe a little ashamed.
I have been eating all damn day, but still feel like I am starving. I need to stop, because I already have weight complex issues as is, I don't need to give myself more.

Are you guys just in a weird place right now, or has this been going on for a while? I'm sorry, wambam. I hope things get better (read: your H stops being such a doucher) really soon.

It's sort of been building for a few months. He puts a lot of pressure on himself and ends up taking it out on me. I want to help, but I can't read his mind.

Man I am exhausted! My classes are totally tiring me out this year. I think this is the neediest group of students I have had in a long while, meaning they need my help to do anything. My juniors are typing an essay and many did not know to indent each new paragraph, nor how to do that in Word. Is this real life? So today was frustrating because it was answering VERY basic questions 100 times over, like how to change font size.
I think Theo is finally over his nursing strike. Thank god. I was seriously worried for a few days.
Damn kids. I listened to the baby freaking out so that I could fix Sofia a nice healthy dinner. Does she eat any? No. Then she sneaks into the pantry and I find her on the deck feasting on a whole pack of nori. I give up!

I'm stealing this idea when therapy goes to hell tonight. Hope you get a much deserved break.

Thank you :-) One good thing that came from that horrible tantrum was seeing how effective that punishment was. Wow. He didn't even flinch at a time-out but going to bed early was a whole other story.

We're not even three weeks into the school year and I'm over it. I just want to send him off to school with his lunch and say "Nice job on your coloring" when he gets home instead of having to deal with all the crap that goes along with having a special needs kid.
That sounds horrible. I don't care. The thought of another decade of this is exhausting.
Eh, I consider it akin to people getting band logos/song lyric tattoos or something "thought provoking" from like, the Catcher in the Rye. For some people, the books were such a huge part of their childhood. It's all personal.

Is your child in speech, too?
My youngest is in speech and PT, the oldest in PT. I think he's about the same age as your son. He hates the four to six times a day of his "sensory diet" which is bushing and compression. The one at bed time is a nightmare when we've had a tough day.

I'm sorry. That does sound rough. We do the bulk of his therapy at night and after a long day, it is tough. I've thought about doing it in the morning but with preschool at 8:45, we just never have time for it.
I have open house tomorrow, which means I'll be at work from roughly 7 am - 8/9pm. I. don't. wanna.
I'm also really irritated over a parent phone call. Basically, the parents believed their kid that when he went to the bathroom, I handed out homework, and then refused to give it to him. REALLY? This is why I hate teaching sixth grade. Parents haven't learned that kids lie yet.

Flameful - non-mom judging mom ahead A facebook friend posted today about how thrilled she is that her five year old to her "even though you are pregnant you are still super super skinny" and he is the best child in the world. And then she tagged me and a bunch of people because she wasn't getting enough responses. I find this gross. She does this kind of bragging often about him telling her she's pretty and such. I just want to respond "Glad to see that you are teaching him what's important in life."
I'm so sick and tired of getting BFNs. ugh. Next month it will be 2 years of trying. I hate the situation I'm in right now and I need to see why this is happening to me. I feel if I knew why I'm not meant to have a second baby I would be ok. Because the situation I'm in age + finances + reproductive health issues + timing is driving me nuts!
silva i'm sorry. i'm really afraid that will be us too on our next round. best of luck to you. eb777888 tired all the time wuttttt? wambam i hope everything is ok =( @misoangry i want to email you asking you all the things about pg but i don't want to annoy you since i made that mistake with our mutual gold digging friend and she blew up at me one day lol.
Thanks Farmvillelover. I appreciate that. Best of luck to you as well.
