There's a very good chance my h will spend Thanksgiving weekend with his family (8 hours away) while I stay here, alone on T-day, but with the kids Fri-Sun.
This is the year the kids spend T-day with their dad (we alternate thanksging and Christmas), but other than that day, it's my week to have them. So we can't all go to Hs family for Thanksgiving, and i have to be here Fri-Sun to be with the kids.
I can't begrudge H going to see his family, but I'm still kind of bummed about it.
Idk dude, I'd begrudge that shit. Couldn't the 2 of you have a nice night at home anf then you all go and spend the weekend with his fam and have some leftovers?

Well, I'm trying not to begrudge, lol.
We could do just what you suggest, but driving 8 hrs on Friday to spend two nights with bored teens at MIL's house and then drive home on Sunday doesn't sound all that great, either.
I think I'll make the best of my night all to myself and then roast a small turkey on Friday or Saturday so I can have leftover turkey sandwiches.
I keep thinking about my cw. She is an almost-annoyingly-sunny person even despite her dh kind of being a dick. The last week or so she's been really down, which is so disconcerting. She vented a bit yesterday, and she is just so unhappy in her marriage. She half-jokingly said she wished her dh would disappear. He does nothing to help with their 3 kids, goes to the bars after work rather than home to see her and the kids, is really bitchy and condescending to her when he is around... She won't leave him, I thought because of Catholic Guilt, but she admitted that it was because she didn't want the kids to be with her H every other weekend. I was trying to lighten the mood because I could tell she didn't really want to keep talking about it, so I said something about how she would finally have time to go shopping (she keeps saying she needs to but never makes time; and she knew I was totally kdding)... when she said that it wasn't that she would miss them (though she would), but that she knows her kids don't want to be around her H anymore and with joint custody they would have to. My heart just freaking broke. To stay with a man who is so conpletely hateful, leaving yourself no chance to move on or be happy, basically so your kids don't have to spend time with their father? That is just.. crushing.
jreeds - he will be 3 in March. He was a great eater until he was 18 months and then it all went to hell.
Uuuugh ds is 14mos and idk if he is becoming a crap eater or if it's just because he's sick, but the last 3 weeks have been soooooo frustrating! And he's riding at the bottom of the weight charts as it is, I can't afford for him not to eat! Ugh.
K is tiny too. He's 10th percentile for weight and 5th for height.
They say you should look at the whole week and so that's what I try to focus on. Good luck to you! It's so hard when they don't eat.

Yeah I usually manage one good/hearty meal per week the last month or so. They SAY he's a great eater at daycare, but I think he probably throws his food on the floor and they don't notice due to divided attentions, lol. Hood luck to you too! I think I'm going back to Trader Joes tomorrow, because their gnocchi was, surprisingly, a BIG hit, and it's about to go into heavy rotation. Lol

@zoeheart I'm so sorry you are ill. Last time I was in the ER I had an elevated HR so they made me a trauma case and it was a big deal and my dad wasn't allowed in. It was really because of dehydration and got better once I got fluids. I hope they give you fluids and anti nausea meds and you are good as new. I can't imagine being so sick away from home and alone. All the hugs and good thoughts.
Oh, I hate teeth stuff I got three dry sockets when I had all four wisdom teeth pulled - worst experience ever. I hope you feel better soon!
Thanks. I'm so afraid of dry socket! I'm trying to be a good girl and follow all their instructions. I have a big meeting next week and have to do a presentation, so I don't want to full around and not be all better then. I have to sleep sitting up tonight which is going to suck, I don't see much sleeping in my future.
I'm sure you'll kill it next week!! In the meantime, rest!
We just got tickets to see Chase Rice and Cadillac Three for tomorrow night! One of DH's friends from work had tickets and couldn't end up going so he gave them to us - score!

He is adorable. Bonnie is almost 4 and she is the worst eater ever. I didn't have this problem with the others. Getting her to eat anything is like pulling teeth. I just try to shove a green bean in there every now and again.
