Is it bad that I'm competitive to a fault?  Like in the instance of my dad outselling everyone I feel extreme pride about that because "my dad's better at _____ than your dad" he's "winning".  Haha, I feel this about most things, like I've seriously got competitive issues.  I got the highest rating in my department for my review, and I'm like YEAH because I'M A FUCKING WINNER DUDE! I can't take it, I have to be the best, and if I'm not I will out work anyone to be the best, at whatever.

It's exhausting because I can't be the best housekeeper, wife, mother, employee, daughter, sister, friend 100% of the time but I get really IRRATIONALLY upset when I'm not.  Like I'm not good at being so so... I am so, so at things, but it irritates me.

I am right there with you! After a cryfest to my mom saying "I can't be a+ at everything!", she told me to learn how to be the best C. I love my mommy.

Lately I've been thinking I might be perfectly happy w/just Penelope (and probably a dog later, l.o.l.), but then I also worry about her dealing w/her aging parents alone like has been mentioned on here before.

I'm not worried about that for Haddock. He's going to be all set and I'll make sure everything is set up for my SO and I when we get old so he doesn't have to deal with it.

Maybe this is a phenomenon for people with infertility issues. Like, we have no choice, we're forced into an only child or paying thousands for another.

We may end up paying more if we don't have any more but keep our embryos 'til that's a final decision.  Insurance covered both ivfs.  Hopefully it would cover (a) f.e.t.(s) if we wanted one or two more.  We're paying $780/yr. for them to hold and keep our embryos frozen tho'...possibly to just end up donating them to science.

dude we have that drum - is yours like really insensitive?  it takes a decent hit to get it to respond.

and I love the onesie!  actually that was the first one Mike ever wore  we put it on him after his first 'bath' 30 mins after he was born

@etoille the drum isn't very sensitive, but luckily(?) DS hits things pretty hard regularly. Lol. Also - you mentioned your night terrors have gone down. I'm still having them very frequently and now I think DH is DS and I often shake or touch him in my half dreaming state. It's driving me nuts! I did have 2 nights last week without my ZOMG DS IS IN THE BED terror and I was happy about that...
