I had a fun but long weekend. I would have loved to have today to relax and unwind by myself. But daycare is closed this week for the holiday. DS is being a turd, purposely throwing toys around, hitting me and the dogs...is it naptime yet?

My house is a freaking mess and I don’t feel well enough to clean it and be a fun mom.  I work weekends, so the mess was not created by me and I have had to restrain myself multiple times from not text my husband something snarky about him being a slob.  Ugh.  First world problems.

@daffodil_shoe they are closed the whole week?! I’m all for celebrating holidays but it seems like the 4th is getting really stretched out this year!! Many appointments and things I’ve tried to schedule this week are closed! 

daffodil_shoe

@char245 yep, it’s their “summer break.”

@DDRRT1982 omg I feel you. I hate when I come home from a weekend shift, and DH hasn’t bothered to do a single thing, and the living room is trashed with toys.

Currently on the long drive home from a long weekend in Cape Cod.  We had a blast, but DS is driving me insane on this road trip.  “Mommy, want Winnie the Pooh and Tigger” so I hand them to him, he hugs them then throws them across the backseat.  “Mommy, want Winnie the Pooh and Tigger”.  OVER AND OVER.... Plus I have to pee almost every 2 hours.  Get me out of this f’ing car!!!

So no one but my husband and I know I'm pregnant again. But this weekend my grandparents, cousins and sister mentioned how it is a good thing I am done having kids because now I can just focus on the three kids I have. Like what does that even mean? I most definitelydon't neglect my effing kids, I do nothing but care and entertain them 24/7.

@SassyPants150 ugh that’s super rude!! 

Mine is about the July 4th holiday. My sister never offers to bring food or drinks, and she usually invites a bunch of friends. Between MH and I, and my parents, we end up paying for everything. On top of that, she’s vegan so MH has to make her special food. Not hating on vegans, but if you aren’t going to eat typical July 4th BBQ food, you need to at least bring your own food or contribute some $$.

Well, anger filled text sent to DH.  His geriatric cat shit in my kid’s drawer, so ya, I didn’t hold back.  

Pgh_Kel

@DDRRT1982. Solidarity....I have a 16-year old, diabetic cat that has poop “accidents” weekly now.  My suitcase was his last victim 🤬. I’m not sure if he just can’t get to the litter box fast enough, or if he’s being spiteful in his old age....it blows.

brookert615

@DDRRT1982 No! That's awful!!! 

Mine would probably be just the reaction we got from our best friends this weekend when we told them we are doing an US at one of those US boutique places this week. They pretty much said we were ridiculous for paying for something we will get in a month and that I really need to get my anxiety in order because that affects baby. I just said I was worrying too much and that it would ease my mind once I could see a heartbeat. It kind of made me mad because DH really didn't have my back. I brought it up later that it hurt my feelings that he didn't stand up for me and he apologized but c'mon. I am worried, yes. Pretty sure it's normal for a FTM who tried for months and months! Ugh! 

Pgh_Kel

@brookert615  Why does it matter to them what you decide to spend your money on?  And also, if getting the earlier US helps with your anxiety than I would think they would support it if they’re “so concerned”.   I don’t understand why people can’t see that everyone handles life differently and the best thing they can do is just support a friend....it seems so silly to be judgemental about it.  Do what makes you happy.  😘

brookert615

@Pgh_Kel I totally agree! I honestly regret bringing it up. I thought they would just be like "how exciting" but the reaction was ridiculous. I agree - it's something so silly. Thanks for saying all of that .

therealbitts

@brookert615 ugh people need to keep their opinions to themselves. Unfortunately, it probably will not be the last time you get rude, unsolicited comments or advice now that you are pregnant, which will continue right on thru having that kiddo! My father in law’s comments about me not being able to do a med free labor with my first actually fueled me into making sure I did it. Lol. People need to mind their business. If the US makes you feel better, do it. 

Pgh_Kel

@therealbitts. WOW, just wow to your FIL’s comments!!  Good for you for proving him wrong!!  

brookert615

@therealbitts Thank you for saying that! I'm so happy to hear you say that you proved you FIL wrong! Funny thing is the same friend told me I would want meds because I said that I wanted to be med free as well! Thank you!!! 

ibabyloveb87

@brookert615 that’s so uncalled for. 

I just wanna take a damn nap. Why is work always in the way?! 

brookert615

@ibabyloveb87 LOL! Just get those glasses with eyes on them! 

leksiL

@therealbitts or how bout when you talk about doing a mess free labor and they start on with the horror stories about their births? Gtfo 😂 

@brookert615 it’s easy for people that aren’t in your shoes to judge. Sorry DH didn’t have your back - the men just aren’t invested as much at this point. Wait until he sees that little heartbeat- things will change!

brookert615

@leksiL Thank you!!! 

therealbitts

@ibabylove87 Car naps are always an option! I've perfected the car nap during my lunch hour.

@leksiL right? No, people, I do not want to hear about your terrifying stories! Even with this being my 4th, labor is still something I get nervous about (until the very, very end, when I don't care if they have to pull the baby out of my nostril). Nobody needs those horror stories or negative energy! lol

daffodil_shoe

@leksiL it took me a minute to realize you just had an autocorrect error and meant “meds free” not “mess free.” I was like...uh, not really in anyone’s control how messy it’s gonna get 😆

craftywitch

@brookert615 Sounds like people not to talk to about baby things! I can never decide if childless people giving parenting advice annoys me more, or if people who failed at things I am attempting telling horror stories annoys me more. Tell anyone in the world you plan to exclusively cloth diaper from birth... Honestly no one else's limitations are your limitations and you're free to do absolutely whatever TF you want. Judgmental comments are about the commenter being judgmental and have nothing to do with you.

I'm just here to b!tch about my back. It hurts. I'm annoyed. Apparently everything is overdoing it these days. Sigh. I wish I'd have gotten in better shape before getting pregnant. I have a feeling I'm going to be walking the line of what my current abilities are for the rest of the pregnancy. Boooooooooooo!

brookert615

@craftywitch Yes! Thank you so much! So sorry about your back! Hope you're able to heal quickly!

At work I got stuck doing the one job I hate. My coordinator told me last time that im the only one who has a problem doing the job when I came up with a suggestion on how to make it better. And then everyone else seemed to gang up on me saying they dont have an issue... Blah blah blah. I am unfortunately short and not tall like them, and the other short people wont speak up. So today I was like idgaf because I already threw up twice this morning, I'll take my sweet time. Boy did she get antsy when the line was backed up. Although i seriously got frustrated to the point i had to hold back tears. I hate that job.

I am so tired. And, my two year old has decided to she can’t stand to be apart from me. She woke up at 6 this morning! SIX! And wouldn’t go back to sleep. At naptime she slept for 45 minutes, just long enough for me to almost fall asleep myself, and then refused to go back into her crib even though she went to sleep instantly when I picked her up. I’m now trapped under my sleeping toddler, hoping I’m doing the right thing... I’m hoping maybe if she’s well rested she will sleep in longer tomorrow. Or you know, I could just be reinforcing this behavior

Oh mama, 6am is sleeping in for us!! 5:15am wake up here. Weve been having quiet time for the past hour in my bed. I’m exhausted.

@daffodil_shoe I ended up having a cesarean so no mess at all! 😂

Can’t tell if you’re being facetious, but they are quite messy actually! We just use constant suction and lap sponges 😉 On more than one occasion amniotic fluid has flown everywhere 😆

You poor thing! We usually sleep until 7:30. Well, one of mine sleeps until 7:30 and the other until 6:30. They take turns sleeping in and waking at 6:30. They’ve made a pact to never let me sleep.

char245

@doodleoodle and @jessieR358 I feel your pain! We used to be a 5:15 family but DD has been consistently getting later over the last year!! She now gets up around 7 every day, totally doable! However, just for fun it was a 6am day today 

jessieR358

The 4 year old is currently sound asleep so I’m sure it’s going to be a fun battle getting him to bed tonight   

doodleoodle

@jessieR358 I accidentally let my 3.5 year old nap 4 hours today. I feel your pain. At least we’ll have each other 😂

leksiL

@daffodil_shoe I was being facetious although I wouldn’t have known about any mess because I was just trying to keep from throwing up the whole time. I hope I don’t have to go through that again!!
