***MBF***

Re: ***MBF***
But SIL, she took the prize. She and MIL hosted the baby shower sat. I know they've always had a little competition but usually it stays within DH's siblings. ...Until the shower. MIL left pretty quickly after it was "over" and was the first to leave. As soon as she was gone SIL started telling us all (DH's Step-mother, step-grandmother and half-sister, my family and my BF) about how selfish MIL was and to prove her point proceeded to tell everyone "what kind of mother tries to commit suicide on the birthday of her youngest son." *crickets* We all just sat there in silence not knowing what to say which apparently gave her the impression she should continue on. WTF?!
MBF#2 I cannot stop obsessing about Sonic's Lemon-berry slushed ...and now doughnuts but I'm STUCK ON FUCKING BED REST! Errrrrr
According to google, she has until 4 years after I turn 18 in tx. He just inherited monies from his mom that passed away. He was a shit parent, too. He could voluntarily give her money if he wanted.
I was in foster care and a homeless shelter in HS bc of their crazy, so I'm just not very sympathetic to either one of them.
Ugh, so shitty all around. Sorry you have that in your life but I like what PP said about how you gave mister and little man on the way. I know it doesn't make up for not having supportive parents but it sounds like you've really worked hard and gotten yourself in a good place and position in life. Nobody can take that away!,
I get that you are frustrated, been there. But.... Did you have plans made for your anniversary? It shouldn't fall on him just to set it up because he's the guy. Were you going to help him paint? With landscaping? I'm not saying he's in the right. But what I'm saying is it sounds like he has a laundry list of things to do. I don't keep up enough with every poster on here to know if there is a reason you can't help him, but if not --- these are all things I'm sure he would appreciate some assistance with. He probably feels overwhelmed and exhausted, getting to why that is will probably help you figure out to fix this. I hope you also take time to appreciate him for any of the good/helpful things he does. Then he may be more apt to hop on other projects. People like to be appreciated for the things they do well vs hear what they are doing wrong. Not trying to make it seem like I'm on his side but I don't have a lot of information to go on here. Since he out of commission with his ankle for a while seems like it would be a good time to have some serious conversations to get to the root of anything that is bothering you or him for that matter. I just think if you can understand him better it will help. My husband and I have a hard time communicating lately, so I'm off to go follow my own advice.
Pay a pool service to open the pool. Pick your battles. This sounds like one that wasn't worth fighting from the start. If it takes 2 people to open it and you can't now because you're pregnant/it was too heavy for you to help pre - pregnancy/ there is no real, reliable help to do it, just pay the money and save your sanity. It sucks because the money of course could be used for something else, but if you want to use the pool on a regular schedule each year, this is likely the route you'll have to take.
As far as painting, try working on it a little bit at a time yourself. Invite some friends over to help/keep you company. I painted DD'S bedroom while pretty pregnant due to DR'S traveling for work and yea it was slower going, but it got done.

I bought my friend some crodos/doissants/cronuts from a local bakery on Friday as a gift. She ended up with 5 instead of 6. It was a processing charge.

Thank goodness DH doesn't have this problem, or at least keeps,it to himself. After not getting any because of pelvic bedrest, then getting cleared only to have DH hurt himself in the tough mudder the next day, mama has been missing it. Finally got some yesterday morning and this morning!
My MBF? This would have been the perfect weekend to get DS moved into his new room but the spare bed is still in that room. DH is planning on moving it out today, but I don't know when DS's crib and dresser will get moved in since DH is having a guy's weekend next weekend and leaving me home with DS.
When we found out we were having a girl DH's family said they liked one of our boy name choices, Parker, for a girl. DH loved it as well. Slowly everyone keeps saying how much they love that name, to the point where it's now making me second guess our top choice, because I'm wondering how I can be the only person in our family and friends that doesn't just automatically want to use that name. I just don't want her having to have people assume she's a boy when they first see her name. So, now I don't know what to do, but it's making me second guess everything.
Scarlett's a beautiful name, I should know because my name is Scarlett. Johansson, duh
I hate when people volunteer to do something and then do it halfway. If you're going to do it, do it right. I had to go back and redo nearly everything she did. -_-
You are pregnant and beautiful! Never mind that nonsense. *hugs*
We have our "Irish Twins"

Parker was my best friends last name, so I wouldn't name a child that in general, but I can't envision a girl named that (sorry for being a name sexist).

There was the week that they were chopping down all the trees for 3 days (starting at 7:05am, because the noise ordinance ends at 7am). Then the following week, he was there each afternoon/evening chainsawing the trees they had cut down into smaller pieces. So FINALLY I thought it was done. Now two weeks later, there's fucking chainsawing again today.
I swear, I want to scream... I get that the guy was a hoarder but there can't possibly be anything left for him to be sawing over there!!

FU ticks in our backyard. I found one on DD yesterday. It seemed to have just jumped on because I put her down for a minute, she wandered off, came back, and there it was just hanging out on her neck. It hadn't started to burrow yet, but we still had to use tweezers to get it off. Ugh. I wouldn't be so annoyed if ticks carrying lyme disease weren't the norm around here, but they are.
I just want to be able to sick in my backyard while DD plays and not worry about this. We have a spray that can be applied to clothes and go through several washes that is supposed to help, but I'm going to look into an actual yard spraying service too.

I understand what it feels like to have a MC then try to get pregnant for2 years. Just because I am preggers now doesn't mean we didn't have issues. Don't be a b!?&$ to me. And DONT sarcastically ask me if I am having twins. I am 147 and 5'3" at 32 weeks preg with a healthy 20ish# weight gain. You need sucker punched in the throat.
Now you sound like a lazy excuse maker. Suck it up, princess. Marriages take work, and it doesn't sound like you're bringing anything to the table.
Last night while DH and I were DTD, he put his hand on my belly and got all uncomfortable cuz this LO moved at the top of my belly as if saying "get me as far away from this as possible!"
My MBF: our house is SO FREAKING HOT. like 80 degrees indoors already. So I went and bought a window ac for our bedroom (finally after 3 summers here). DH went to put it in, but our ladder isn't tall enough to take the window off outside. So we need to wait a week till MIL comes with hers. My eyeballs are sweating.
While he was out of work, he did the things that really needed to be cleaned on a weekly basis - vacuum/mop floors, half bath mostly.
For some reason, he was under the impression that he could/would continue to help me clean after he got a new job, even though I tried to tell him that the three things he was doing wasn't even the half of what needed to be done (I.e. kitchen, full bath, dusting..The list goes on).
He's had this job for SEVEN MONTHS NOW, and hasn't lifted a finger. My pregnant, "I work 70 hours a week plus travel" ass is getting really sick and tired of waiting on him hand and foot, taking care of EVERYTHING having to do with our lives, my job, and this baby on a daily basis.
Last week, I made a chore list with names as a last resort before I start outsourcing - hasn't done a thing on it except load the dishwasher when I bitch at him to. I'm about to go remind him that he has a bathroom to clean and a dining/living room to vacuum - if he gives me attitude, I won't be responsible for my actions...
