What a weekend
MoFree

I am back today from a challenging weekend with family in Chicago. First I resent that my parents have never visited us in AZ during the almost 5 years we have lived here. I seem to spend every long weekend traveling with l/o instead of relaxing at home and catching up on household activities.
. There were some enjoyable times. DH wanted his coworkers (he works in Chicago one week a month, the rest of the time here in AZ) to meet LO and she was much more outgoing and social than expected. I loved seeing DH as the proud and beaming daddy. We also enjoyed seeing relatives at my cousin's daughter's birthday party. LO loves playing with all of her cousins and was much less clingy than she had been previously. br> I have serious concerns about my father's unrelenting cough and hoarseness. He is a chain smoker who refuses to seek medical attention because he doesn't want to hear that he needs to give up cigarettes. Yes, it's his choice but his decisions also affect all the people in his life. My father and I are not at all close, never have been and probably never will be. Still, it makes me really sad and angry that he seems so unconcerned about his health and future. br> It was also hard to see my very pregnant sister. Yes, I'm happy that she has a second chance at a happy life with her new husband but I also feel envious that she conceived immediately after marriage and has a new baby to look forward to next month. I am really trying not to succumb to the 'why me' syndrome, but not very successfully. br> DH stayed in Chicago for work so it was just LO and me flying. First, she became hysterical saying goodbye to DH. For the first time she she's out of diapers she had an accident in the airport. She saturated her new Frozen undies that I had to throw them out since I did not want to carry pee-soaked clothes in my carry on bag. I'm not talking a little wet, but enough to ring out and then some. I had a change of clothes and another pair of Frozen undies but she was inconsolable for a good part of the flight. I felt that everyone in the waiting room and then on the plane was staring at me as if to wonder why I'm can't control my hysterical child. I need to grow a thicker skin.
