    DS wakes up a few times during the night and will just sit there and talk (or growl-the kid loves to growl), play with his blanket or throw his pacifier around. Half the time I'll go just lay him back down and cover him up and he'll pass out immediately. Sometimes I'll let him go and he'll eventually literally fold in half over his legs, pass out and eventually fall over hugging his blanket. If he stands up then I know I have to go lay him back down because he'll just stand there forever until he gets really pissed off. I feel like we're in the same place though. I don't know what to do. He was STTN until he got a little cold a few weeks ago. Now he gets up and wants to party!

    ETA: I wouldn't care if he woke up in the middle of the night if he'd always lay back down. But I have the monitor on the lowest setting and he still wakes me up so it's just easier for me to get up and lay him down. Everyone gets back to sleep faster that way. Ugh.

    Hugs @tarajeannette‌ we are going through something similar. DD STTN from 6 weeks to 5 months and it has been awful since then. Half the time she cries out and doesn't even open her eyes. I don't want to not nurse her if she needs it because she had such a hard time with weight gain but sometimes it's hard to know whether she is hungry or it is just a habit now. Good luck, I hope she starts sleeping better for you soon!

    So, funny story.  At DC dropoff the other day I saw my coworkers wife.  She was telling us all the story of how her 2 YO woke up at 1am that morning and sang Frozen songs to herself in bed until 5 am when she fell back to sleep.

    DD slept from 12:30 until 7:00 am last night but her room stayed warmer than it has been the last few nights. So maybe that's her problem, she's just getting to cold. It's way to warm during the day still to turn the heat on so I think we need to add another layer of clothes. The problem is it was 76 in her room when she went to bed, so I don't want her to be too warm. Yay fall!

    We are finally back to decent weather. So I am going to wear Capri pants today even if I get a little chilly. :) Fall is such a silly season it can change from hot to cold in seconds and layers is a must

    Work can totally piss off today. I am so not in the mood to be here and deal with this circus.

    I'm so fed up with some of the remarks DH makes. They're mean and uncalled for. I'm tired of telling him that it needs to stop and I'm tired of "I'm sorry, I don't mean it when I say it texts." So tonight I told him if he can't stop saying mean stuff that makes me feel like shit, then the kids and I will stay with my mom until he can learn to be nice.

    I don't like how he talks to me in front of the kids. I don't like how he's been making me feel. Nothing's ever good enough for him. The house is never clean enough, the laundry is too wrinkly, etc.

    I know nobody is probably going to read this. I just needed to get it off my chest. Sorry and thanks.

    @SandFHasse I grew up with a father like that.  I'm sorry you have to deal with it.  FWIW I think you are doing the right thing by standing up to him.  Stay strong and make it change.  I always wondered why my mother never just told him off and to this day I will still tell him if he's acting like an asshole.

    @SandFHasse‌ - If he doesn't wise up, your kids will grow up thinking that putting Mom down is expected and they won't have respect for you. Also, he won't discipline them if they mouth back to you. I'm sure he will laugh along with them. I've seen families like this and it's like the mother is the subordinate and gets walked all over. No way. Putting your foot down now was the best choice. Sorry he's a dick right now.

    @rgoblue‌ Thank you. Part of the problem is he works night. He gets home at 7 am, showers and goes to bed. He wakes up at 5pm, showers and goes to work. I literally have the kids by myself 24 hours a day for 5 - 6 days a week. His day off he will help clean the kitchen and then decide everything else can wait (which comes down to just me doing it all when he's at work). We have a calendar. It's one of the planner ones. Maybe I should start writing chores on it.

    @mcg1119 Thank you. I feel bad it has come down to me threatening to leave for a little bit. Part of me feels like its a stupid reason, but I'm just so tired of it.

    @SandFHasse‌ I'm sorry he's being that way towards you! MH is the same way, he always complains that I do nothing but in reality I take care of our kid and all of his doctors appts.
    I hope your DH starts appreciating you more, he just doesn't realize how good he has it.

    @tarajeanette Yes he works between 70 and 80 hours a week. He works full time at one hospital and part time at another one. He works the part time one because its a better company and its easier to get full time if you go part time first. He interviewed last week for full time. FX he gets it. We need this. I think he has unrealistic expectations. Ex. He expects DD (2 tomorrow) to not get any food on the floor and told me she doesn't get her table anymore. (Yea she still gets the table) He expects the house to be spotless day in and day out, but we have an infant and a toddler.

    @Tylynngrace Thank you. He makes "jokes" about me not doing anything all day when in reality I do so much.

    @tarajeanette I have thought about counseling and I think it would be good for us. I just don't know how to bring it up or how we would even fit it in with his work schedule. It is hard for both of us. I've been asking him if we are going to talk and he keeps saying we will, on my day off.
