My DD is 4 and has learned the phrase that's not fair! Today I actually said well life's not fair! And she asked why?? I had no response to that. And she has learned to back talk. Is this a 4yo thing? She was kind of a brat today and I do not like it. Thank goodness for nap time.
@JessyKV I'm hoping it's a 4 yr old thing! Mine has recently started telling me he's going to hit me in the head. AND mine is transitioning out of nap time so we're fighting that too...
I HAVE to bitch about my in-laws! Last week I griped about my DH and FIL doing this construction project together that they didn't have finished 4 days after it was started even though it was maybe a 2 day project. We are now going on a full week of DH's uncle coming back into our house daily to do mud and drywall on a project THAT DIDN'T NEED DRYWALL IN THE FIRST PLACE!!! And then to top it off, ILUncle can't finish the project until this weekend! So a project that should have taken 2 days has now turned into a 2 week project to complete! BUT THE CLINCHER is that DH went to a family bday party this weekend (DS and I stayed home with a fever) and his dad kept teasing him about this project getting away from him when it was FIL's idea to do drywall in the first place!!!! I got a text from DH just now saying it's best to have DS play downstairs tonight because he has to vacuum up all the drywall dust from what his uncle left today.
The list is long - but this stuck out amongst the others: we had a pilot training today at the office (I work for a small airline) and a pilot passed my office and then came back and looked at me and looked at the yoga ball I was sitting on (have been for weeks now) and said in a rude voice "SERIOUSLY?!" and then continued to ask is this what the office has come too? And completely caught off guard I just blurted out "I'M PREGNANT!" he quickly congratulated me and back tracked but seriously? Mind your own damn business. Mind you - I couldn't tell you his name we have 75+ pilots and I rarely see them enough to know all their names and he clearly hasn't seen me recently enough to give me a hard time about sitting on a yoga ball - if he did, he would know I was pregnant, 7mo at that. People.
Ugh the moving process is the worst. We may or may not be moving in the next two weeks. I just love living out of boxes. At this point it's a toss up between what will happen first: the new house or the new baby. Must keep calm.
Add me to the 4 year old is driving me insane club. I literally feel like I am failing him after some of his behaviors this weekend at Disney. Tonight we brought the hammer and didn't allow him to to tee ball due to terrible behavior when we got home. I am hoping being a little tougher on him will help (I am notorious for being easy on him I think because he is my first baby). I also put him to bed super early. Thinking lack of sleep from Disney may be a cause too.

Mine BF is just normal life crap. Potential furlough, potential loss of income, DH is so carefree and sure it 'will all work out'. I, on the other hand, am freaking out, per usual.
My almost 4 year old has also learned how to talk back lately. I told her to stop with the attitude this morning and she replies well your having one too!
Well i I had a terrible weekend with way too many Braxton hicks caused from stress which dh knew about since he was there the whole time to witness it. So instead of cleaning the house Monday, which so badly needed to be done, I laid down and drank water and tried to relax so they would stop. So they finally did around dinner time, when he gets home with take out, drops his pants on the floor and throws all the take out bags on the floor. Not exactly helping the mess situation. So I asked dd to pick up the bags and put them in the trash because daddy didn't do it and he flipped out. Telling me I should have the house clean and why are there dishes in the sink. I seriously lost it and of course the Braxton hicks were back for the remainder of the night. I was so pissed.
@Stankonia2014 totally stressing too. In the middle of my class today we all get an automated email saying class is cancelled due to budget constraints. The teacher doesnt get it and says lets keep going. 2 hrs later they send out a correction. Anything that starts next week is cancelled and anything in session should continue until an official shut down is in effect. Seriously the back and forth and uncertainty is stressing me out! Am I working Monday or not?!
@Kylieslip24 I'm mobile bumping and can't upload pictures but there is the perfect meme to send your DH in this situation. It reads something like, "He asked why the house isn't clean since I'm home all day. I asked him why we aren't rich since he works all day." Andplusalso I've made it known that bending over at this point takes a tremendous amount of effort so if DH throws something on the floor (must be a man thing) then it's staying there.
My BF is my MIL coddling DD during temper tantrums when I've repeatedly asked her not to because it encourages that behavior. It's gotten so bad that we went over there today and as soon as MIL opened the door DD reached for MIL and once in her arms immediately started throwing a fit.
Mine is for our paintets. We paid 4000 to have them paint the entire interior of our new house and they had zero respect for our things. Came home to their lunch fast food cups sitting around our house, laid their ladder on top of DS' 4 wheeler, and didn't move any of the furniture back.
On top of this, we did a final walk through and pointed out tons of drip marks, unpatched holes, paint strokes etc. The man tried to tell me "well you chose the eggshell finish over the flat finish, so it will show that." And other excuses. Finally, I called him on his BS by telling him we had painted the entire interior of our first house with an eggshell finish AND a painting company painted the entire inside when we put it up for sale (sadly out of business) with eggshell finisb as well and guess what....NO DRIPS. I hate when men treat me like I don't know about handy stuff because I am a woman.

My mom came over to help me and my husband clean the house for the baby shower this weekend. My husband has only cleaned one bathroom and then stood around chatting while I'm on my hands and knees cleaning.
So I just got in trouble at work for not doing something that I was explicitly told not to do by another superior. It's hard to explain without going into details about how the audio editing industry works, but essentially one boss told me not to worry about something because the budget/schedule doesn't allow for that step, and just today the other (higher up) boss asked me why I didn't do it when I had time to this week.
This is why I was anxious about coming back here, especially after being away so long. Things always seem to be miscommunicated, now it looks bad on me, and frankly the thing she wanted me to do is something I've never done before! I offered last week to quickly learn it and do it anyway since I had the time, but was told not to! ARG!
Unfortunately it's one of the biggest companies in the area, and has some of the highest paying contracts which is the only reason I still want to make a good impression and be asked back again in the future. Otherwise it's the most stressful place I've worked so far.
Those of you that have 4 year olds talking back, the 2.5 year old I babysit has started talking back! So I guess you're lucky if it didn't start until 4?? Or I'm just unlucky haha. The sass is out of control though. Sometimes it's funny and sometimes it drives me insane. And sometimes I'm too tired to give a shit. Her new thing is to say "I'm coming" when you ask her to come to you (to change her diaper or get in her seat to eat, etc) but not actually move. I've told her "I don't see your feet moving" and then she moves her feet without walking and says "see, my feet are moving."
@CapricaAndrea UGH!! This happens at my work all the time! And the two bosses hate each other so sometimes I think they do it on purpose just to piss each other off...
When (not if) the all out war between them breaks out, I hope I get to enjoy the fireworks and not get caught in the middle
I can't wait until school is over for the year. My DD has been giving me such a hard time getting out of bed in the morning and making me late every day. I can't stand getting up on time and having everything ready and then having to spend 30 mins trying to get her up.
DD is going through the 18 month sleep regression I'm pretty sure. She's been going down to bed awake and just rolls over to sleep since she was 4 months old and recently started sleeping through the night in a February, so this sucks. She usually sleeps 7:30pm-8am with a few books and a song at bedtime- now she won't even sit and read a book at bedtime and she's screaming, kicking and punching while I carry her to her crib where she proceeds to scream non stop. At 35 weeks pregnant, my body is physically struggling to handle this mess! Poor DD is exhausted and so are DH and I. Hoping this resolves before DD2 arrives!
I would like to complain about mother nature! Last week the weather people said its supposed to be 80 and sunny this coming weekend. And it is now supposed to be 60 and 90% chance of rain. I was supposed to get my maternity photos done! Luckily, my photographer is just my sister and the equipment is all mine so I have time, but I'm still really irritated!
I hate fidget spinners. Google them if you don't know what they are. They claim they help fidgety kids focus but they do the exact opposite and I am sooooo over taking them away in the classroom.

I keep seeing them pop up online everywhere and I don't understand the point. Seems like a really bad idea for school. Maybe car trips? Lol the weirdest things sell these days.

DD was doing this around 17 months for about two weeks...after a few days we realized her molars were coming in and bothering her. Once we started giving her motrin before bed she was fine most nights, though would occasionally wake up when it wore off and we'd give her tylenol to finish the night off.
Have you checked her mouth? DDs teething has always only been a problem at night. The molars were brutal though.

I'm sure she's teething too so we've been doing Advil before bed! Last night was a bit better- it just seems like she doesn't want to go to bed because she was "singing" while I was reading to her, and during the bedtime song she was pointing out every part of my face super excited "nose! eyes! ears! hair!" and was not thrilled that I put her in her crib for bedtime instead of playing lol. We're just being consistent cause I don't want to throw things off before baby comes!
Teaching right now really sucks! Planning on propping my foot up under the table I'm going to be teaching from. Trying to cram some assignments in before my 3 weeks is up. I have some end of the year paperwork I need to complete too before my leave.Not sure if I'm going to make it 3 more weeks. Ughh. Might put my feet up and work on some paperwork tomorrow.

My school has BANNED fidget spinners, unless it's a 504 or iep accommodation.
@jennas312 3 more weeks?!?! Is That when school gets out for you or your mat. leave starts? 3 more weeks of school I am totally jealous of!!! We have 6!
My b!tchfest goes to the woman in charge of maternity leave in HR. My leave will be split and everytime I talk to her she changes the rules, dates, etc. She is really pissing me off. She retired today, so I am hoping her replacement will be more intelligent.

@huzzahuzza school's out in June. I'm out in 3 weeks. @kahlan82 do we work the same place? My union is looking into why all of us have been told different things.
@jennas312.. ..... UNION? what's a union? j/k I live in a right to work state (NC). It makes me very sad especially since I was raised in NY, and my mom was the head of the teacher union.

My BF is just my body reacting to this pregnancy, I'm 33 weeks and I'm in SOOOO MUCH PAIN. My feet get swollen even when I'm laying down and god forbid I want to sleep at less than a 90° angle I have acid reflux so bad. Don't even get me started about my damn hips. I know you ladies know what I'm going through but I give such props to my boyfriend. It's 1 am here and he got up, got me tums and water and rubbed my feet.
2nd bitchfest for me- I threw my mom's 50th birthday bash tonight but had to leave an hour early to put my daughter to bed because she was up 2 hours passed her bedtime (left hubby and my brother in charge of cake etc before I left), and my mom's boyfriend didn't have the decency to tell me before I left that he was going to propose to my mom in front of everyone, so I missed the proposal and it wasn't videotaped.
@momma2char UGH!! I just can't with the inconsiderate people today! I'm sad for you missing out on that moment.
I accidentally posted my bfest in the ransoms, so I'm moving it here: Met up with my Dad, his GF, my grandma, my uncle, and a cousin for dinner. They're in town for Dad's bday which he SWEARS he doesn't want to celebrate. So we took them to Cracker Barrel. G-ma complained that they don't serve wine. Dad complained that the only beer he could get was a root beer. His GF complained that the menu was overwhelming, despite her bragging when they arrived because she had "already picked out dinner from the online menu". Uncle had his video camera out the ENTIRE time taking photos and videos of the entire meal. The Mr decided dinner was the perfect time to complain about being hungover and spent most of the meal texting his bandmate to commiserate. And DD decided to glare at all of them (THAT'S my girl!!).
Can we not have ONE normal meal? Is that too much to ask?!?! I feel a tiny bit guilty that I'm so happy about the fact that we might not see them again while they're in town. They stress me out!!
@momma2char That sucks. He definitely should have either told you ahead of time or done it earlier when he realized you were going to be leaving early. You are her daughter, and you threw the party! Congrats to your mom through. I hope they have a great marriage!
