Got anything good?

I'd like to bitch about how difficult it is leaving the house with 2u2! Even with my husband's help, that shit was overwhelming.

Also, grandparents should be required to babyproof their houses. I hate visiting people and having to constantly chase my toddler away from all the breakables and chokables. Move your stuff or come to my house!!!!

I'd like to bitch at my H. I went out yesterday afternoon (alone!!) and left him with both kids napping. They both slept for awhile and then he took them to our neighbor's for the game. I met them over there. When I got home I was stunned at how much of a disaster our house was. Gallon of milk left out, toys everywhere...it was just a mess! WTF DH? Are you totally incapable of cleaning up anything? At least both kids were well taken care of and just fine.

This sounds like my husband!!! I'm always scared about the diaster I'm in for when I go out alone.

I don't have 2u2, but somewhat close (DS1 is 28mo, DS2 is 1 week today). I am terrified of ever having them both alone at home let alone in public!!! It is hard even with DH around. That said I am still recovering (poorly) from a c section... It'll be awhile before I get brave and take them both anywhere. I haven't even taken the baby out alone yet.

This might be more of a FFFC thing- and don't get me wrong, DS2 was loved and very much wanted- but I am not a big fan of the newborn stage. 3-4 months it gets so much better.

I get that they're tiny and cuddly but the no sleeping, nursing 24/7, no smiling or laughing back thing kinda sucks. I thought maybe it was just that I didn't know what I was doing, last time, that made it tough but having another has sealed the deal-- I'm done! No more babies.

As tough as toddlers can be, I actually find it a way more enjoyable age overall. I am trying to cherish the teeny baby stage knowing it's my last but damn I miss sleep.

I am glad to see this thread today.

I'd like to bitch that I'm pissed at MIL, at DH. I'm going to preface this by saying that the only problem that I had during all of my wedding planning was MIL - she tried to make DH choose between her and I and almost ruined my wedding. So when we started TTC, I knew that there was the potential for her being a problem.

Well, I was right. My baby is a week old today and DH and I had a fight yesterday (no yelling or anything, just disagreeing and crying on my part because I'm so hormonal) and the fight boils down to MIL. She thinks that she needs to constantly be at my house visiting, she texts me early in the morning every single day and then multiple times throughout the day, she is not helpful at all when she is here, she overstays her welcome, and the family is definitely not germ conscious like I am (and always have been).

I had told DH that I didn't want any visitors yesterday. We have had people visiting us non stop since about an hour after delivery. My mom threw us a nice little sip and see type dinner with the family Saturday night, which really tired me out. And I wanted to spend some time with just DD and DH on Sunday since he was off from work. Well he tells MIL that she can come over yesterday, so I lost it. He is normally quite understanding, but he wasn't listening to me at all. And so he says okay, they said they will come on Wednesday. I told him no. People are not going to tell me when they are coming visiting! I have anxiety and am not a fan of having visitors to begin with, so this visitors every day thing while I'm exhausted and have an infant to care for is driving me nuts.

I just don't get why MIL doesn't understand that I need some peace and quiet. She had kids. Why does she need to pressure DH and bug to come over and visit every day?

Sorry that got long, but I needed to get it out!

For two weekends in a row I have asked DH to help me get the house clean. For at least an hour I would like no dishes, no laundry, and clean floors. Nope. But he did have about two hours to play his game. Then he asks me later what's wrong with my sex drive. Oh, I don't know. Maybe I am still keeping up with work, the house, both kids, feeding everyone AND you think you "help" because you changed a couple diapers. all with 3-4 hours of sleep usually. I love him, but shit.

I am tired. DD gave me three decent nights of sleep then didn't sleep fantastic the last two. Boo! I thought it was the beginning of something great.

casholmes · February 2014

I'm still annoyed at DH so after I fed DS I went downstairs and left him in his bassinet. He started crying and after a couple of minutes I realized DH either 'couldn't hear' him or was just ignoring him and now I'm really pissed off. I was halfway up the stairs before I heard DH go 'Oh' and realize I wasn't there and he'd have to do it.

Then he said that DS was sounding wheezy and I said 'Maybe your niece got him sick, she was coughing a lot yesterday" and he said "I didn't hear her cough ONCE", as if I was making it up.

Today's just a bad morning, I keep crying for almost no reason and it won't stop.

@krystalcrockett that sounds like my DH. But in place of playing a game he's in the basement or garage working on his toys.

So I'm pissed at a doctor currently. One doctor said Ashton would be coming home Tuesday at the latest but she's not here so this other doctor is making up reasons for him to stay until Wednesday. I get that it's only a day but after three months I'm becoming very testy and cranky. My nurse is on my side and she can't get him to agree. I have everything with me including the car seat, let me take my baby home!

I would like to bitch that this baby will not sleep anywhere else during the day but in my arms for the past couple of days. I would be okay if my mom was here so I can trade off with her and get a break, but she and SO got into a tiff and I'm suffering for it. My arms are incredibly sore and nothing is getting done. As soon as I put her down, she startles and cries until I carry her again. Bitchtastic! So my days are sitting on the couch, bumping one handed. Oh my pregnant SIL is full on sick and told SO she wasn't sick on Saturday so she can carry DD. Wonderful.

I'd also like to bitch about how physically painful taking care of kids and a house really is. By 11am my upper and lower back are on fire from bending over. I smell like pp hormones, formula, sweat, and icy hot allll day.

I guess I'm not the only one with an annoying MIL!! Mine is a big fan of the 'pop in' even though I've expressed to DH multiple times (nicely...and not so nicely) that we need boundaries and it shouldn't be a big deal for her to CALL FIRST. Prob is she lives less than 1/2 mile down the road from us so she has easy access to just stop in whenever the mood hits her. She calls several times a day and gets offended when I don't answer the phone, but it's not like she calls for anything of actual importance! She expects DH to drop everything to come over and help her with stuff whenever she wants even though she knows he has plenty of stuff going on at our house. She tells me I have too much stuff and the kids have too many toys...then she goes to yard sales and buys a bunch of crap that she dumps off on me, 99.9% of which I get rid of anyway. She is almost always willing and able to watch the younger boys if needed but it's a catch 22 because when they're with her that means they do pretty much as they please and eat fast food. She drives me to the very brink of insanity!!
