  Total BS. She should buy you and your DH a pair of tickets. @saisongbird‌
  
  I went back to work today and it was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I basically had to give myself a pep talk during my commute and it involved a lot of profanity and crocodile tears.

  @saisongbird, he should have invited you to the game!

  
  

  my bitch:  I dislike the hours of comfort nursing LO wants to do.  I love the bonding but the comfort nursing is very time consuming and I feel like I have been nursing non-stop since 9am.  Oh wait...I have been!  He's finally sleeping. 

  Off to make lactation cookies!

  
  

  @Jennibeanjld, no way girl.  Get on your computer and skype with the office!!

  
  

  Comfort nursing is a pain sometimes.  I love the closeness, but my boobs need a break!  She wouldn't take her pacifier last night either.  I told DH to step up up and take a turn :-)  What else does he have 'em for anyway?
  
  He didn't go for that idea...

  Here's mine:  I've been trying to call/email the exterminator for days to tell them not to come out this week... and I feel like they are screening my calls.  They will not answer, call or email back.  So, they can come spray, but I'm not paying for it...
  
  @saisongbird‌ - good luck tonight - we are all sending good thoughts your way.

  My bitch is working.  I do NOT want to go back to work.  Ever.  Even with all of the challenges that I've faced with PPA and breastfeeding, I absolutely love being home with my baby.  My MIL has offered to stay home and take care of B while we are both working.  While I know she'll be amazing at it, and I'm extremely grateful for all the money we'll end up saving, I want to be the one to stay at home with her.  I keep holding out that DH will get promoted at work soon and maybe this problem will fix itself, but now I'm not sure.  I've talked to DH about maybe finding a job I cuold work from home, or just part time and MIL could watch her part time, but I wouldn't be doing anything in my field if that were the case.

  I am pissed off that I went to superstore yesterday because their diapers were on sale, well every single NB and size 1 box were sold out, so I had to buy a small bag of diapers (because I had almost no diapers at home left) for almost the same price as the box would have cost me! And I I my for 32 diapers instead of 100+ ugh!!!!
  
  Oh and my daughter shits every 5 minutes, that bag is almost gone ready!

  Sitting on my couch, eating my food, and holding my baby is not being 'helpful'. Babysitting your boyfriend's 2yo DS does not make you a parenting expert. I don't want your advice. Staying in someone's home and not cleaning up after yourself or making your bed is rude. Especially when that person gave birth less than two weeks ago. Can you tell my 19yo sister came down this week? Also, MIL came over to sit on my couch and hold my baby, and while she was rocking and bouncing her and pissing her off she was whispering things to her in a sing-songy voice. One of the things she said was 'Did your other grandma come see you this week? You're just sick of company aren't you? Yes you are. You just want those people to leave you alone now don't you?' Ummm, no. She wants YOU to leave her alone if you're that concerned with how much company she's had.

  Oh, the sing-song voice.  I know I do it when I talk to LO occasionally, but when other people do it to LO I want to throat punch them.  They sound so annoying.

  DS1 needs to repeat kindergarten, he is just not socially ready to advance and therefore is not academically ready either. Everyone, teacher, special ed teacher, counselor, us all agree it is best, however the district "doesn't hold kids back"...so now we are fighting an uphill battle and need an advocate when we all know this is for the best. EFF YOU school district, like I don't have enough stress without this bs.

  You can usually ask stores for a raincheck if the item is out of stock and get it for that price when stock comes in (doesn't help when you need them now, but will save you $$ later…)

  MH is seriously on my nerves. Some of it is just me, I'm sure , with post baby hormones and lack of sleep making me bitchy. But being up for hours in the middle of the night and hearing him snoring over the monitor makes me want to stab him. And then the next day he'll complain about being tired. He always gets 7-8 hours. Whatever dude, don't make me punch you in the balls.
  He is actually really helpful and always makes an effort to give me time to catch a nap, but I can't help it, I feel so crabby at him.
  And don't get me started on his whining about no sex during recovery. I can't even.

  @PerkyErky‌ how can they get away with not holding kids back? Especially if its in the best interest. What about the kids that fail the grade?
  I'm sorry you are dealing with that. Write the superintendent.
  
  
  Mine is:
  Me and my H are trying to decide his next quarter work schedule. He wants to continue nights or change to a day shift. This will start in June. He doesnt understand that with him working all night and then sleeping all day and only interacting with his daughter for like five hours stresses me out and makes me sad and frustrated.

  @PerkyErky‌ If its an IEP team decision does the school have to comply? That seems bogus. I teach a CD classroom so my kiddos progress with their classroom no matter what, but I have seen huge success with kids who repeat kindergarten both behaviorally and academically.

  @amdecker1016‌ and @mevensen it has to do with them wanting to be able to offer services later on in school and if they get held back them they "use up" their eligibility or something like that. My goal is to prepare him NOW so he can be successful later on and not need the services his senior year of high school. And if he does need them then too, then I will cross that bridge when we get there.
  
  As for the IEP team, they already told us it was a district decision and they have no say in it other than to agree or disagree with our desire to have him repeat.
  
  It is so messed up.

  @Jennibeanjld‌ now that I posted that mine started hurting again! I got prescribed 800mg of ibu & Percocet. The percs make me loopy but they work better than the ibu. I try to switch off back & forth. Also still living off the witch hazel wipe/pad the hospital sent me home with.

  @stufie‌ and @Anneplusone‌ diapers are always cheapest at superstore on sale or not. But they are usually on sale every few weeks.
  
  Costco is actually the cheapest but they don't sell pampers so I don't buy from there until they're older.
  
  And a Canadian deals thread would be awesome! Shit is expensive in Canada!

  @AriaAmante143‌ my job is not at all a part time position...but after I had dd I just took a chance and asked my boss if I could do part time (3 days per week). I went through the reasons it would work and how it would benefit them and they agreed. You would be surprised at what you can do in 3 days! It's worth asking if you do want to stay in your field but don't want to do FT. The worst they can say is no.
