I went to Barnes & Noble with DD to pick out 2 books that DH would read to DD. One of the books was "The best dad in the world" and the other was "Baby bears little brother". So the plan was to have DH read the books to DD before bed. However, we went to my rents and ate dinner there so when we got home we had to put DD right to bed. I just told him to look at the 2 books that DD picked out. He looked at them and didn't say anything. 10 minutes later after DD was asleep I asked DH if he knew the purpose for getting the books. He had no idea what I was trying to tell him. So I told him I was pregnant. He almost didn't believe me and he asked "are you sure?". He was a little taken aback but he was happy. He was the same way when I told him about being pregnant with DD. He already forgot I was pregnant and asked if I wanted a white russian today. That's exactly his personality though. He is really absent minded and it takes a while for certain things to sink in. He's extremely easy going.
I ate my feelings last night instead of drinking them. (See IG post of giant peanut butter cup ice cream cake) This stomach ache may be worse than a hangover.
Jealous. I basically fought with H until he finally 'got it' and said "I'm sorry that my mom made you feel like a bad mom", and by that point, I had gotten my period. Meh.

WHY DID IT TAKE A FIGHT FOR HIM TO GET IT????
I want to throw my shoe at his head.

His mom basically had him convinced that I was going to miss everything important that she ever did by having her in daycare 3 days a week. Even though getting my license, taking this job, and putting her in daycare part-time, were ALL ideas that he either came up with, or was totally on board with, one conversation with his mother managed to convince him that it wasn't the best thing to do. He spent like an hour flip-flopping, and said 100 different things that he THOUGHT I wanted to hear, from '3 days is just too much' to 'Okay fine, put her in daycare, but it may be more than you want'. And he defends his mom being a total asshole because 'that's just how she is' and that I should know this by now. And I'm like 'Clearly she acts this way because no one has ever told her that she's fucking rude and hurtful.' So, yeah, that was my night. And judging by this rant, I'm obviously still pissed. Ugh.
@BPer, sorry, that really sucks. I wonder why your MIL feels the need to tell you how you should be feeling. It seems like she never has anything positive to contribute (well, without a catch). Is she this controlling with your H too?
Re: Cheers!
Congrats !!!!
Oh and lame...Pepsi
Whoa, congrats! So none of my business but I'm still going to ask...what was your husband's reaction?
And water over here...my boss wouldn't look kindly upon me drinking at work. Chose the wrong profession apparently.
And @tinyhumantoe, whatcha drinking in that bar?
PS put down your phone and get on that mechanical bull! (If it's that kind of bar)
So exciting!!!!
I had a dirty gin martini, 3 jack n diets, 2 shots, a beer, and a shot. Ridiculous.
I'm just not as resilient as I used to be
