Everyday Our kids go nuts and always lose their cool around 5, probably a combo of getting worn out and hunger. So dinner prep can be really stressful with two crying kids hanging off my legs.
On Saturday evening BIL and SIL brought their new baby over for a visit. DH decided that he NEEDED to go to the store and pick up beer. I asked him to take a kid and go next store to borrow a cup of milk for my recipe before he left. He did neither and selfishly left me for over 30 agonizing minutes with both crying leg grabbing kids while I cooked. Dinner then took a half hour longer because I had to wait for him to bring back milk. Prolonged dinner equals even crabbier kids and me. And I couldn't even visit with SIL because he barely helped me with the kids the whole time.
I was mad, it's just unfair that he gets to have a nice stress free visit and assume I'll take care of everything else.
Not to give him credit, he's usually pretty helpful. But Saturday,not so much

amywalt1684 dinnertime = my least favorite time of the day. I feel so rushed to get the food made, the screaming kids make me feel pressured to hurry, and on the tiny chance they're BOTH behaving during the meal, I rarely get to enjoy it because I'm spoon feeding one kidding and cutting up food for the other. Many days I wonder if I'll ever again enjoy a meal that I've cooked!
BlinkMe182 you are a saint for living with your MIL. That is all.
Here's mine: I've had a lot of tooth and gum sensitivity since DD2 was born, and I recently managed to convince myself that my teeth were going to all fall out and I'd better get to the dentist immediately. We don't currently have dental coverage, but our new plan starts next month.
But, because I'm having all this ridiculous anxiety about my health lately, I had to go NOW, or I was convinced I would become toothless. So today I dropped $165 for xrays and an exam, all for them to tell that my gums hurt because I brush too hard and I need to use use sensodyne and special mouth wash.. Now I feel like an idiot because I could have waited until next month when everything would have been covered. I mean, I'm glad my teeth are in good shape, and I got some peace of mind, but I'm frustrated that I didn't hold out for one more month.
