The who has it worst competition is the worst. I try really hard to combat it by just sucking it up and doing something sweet for him when I normally would snap at him, it seems to help me get out of that head funk. I can't shape his behavior but I can remind myself that I adore this turd of a human I pro created with, and maybe remind him too.
The competition thing happens here, too, all the time. I thought we were the only ones!! We are snippy at each other, too and I'm so tired of it. I think counseling is in our near future.
It's natural for couples to play the "who has it harder" game. The good thing is we all realize that it's happening and can communicate that to our partners and come up with solutions.

DH left to get dinner, decided we needed something "healthier" than Mcdonald so he went to Moe's instead. However he didn't know what I wanted at Moe's so he got me nothing and then got all pissed because I was upset he didn't get me anything.
I'm so mad at him, angrier than I think I ever have been. Don't tell me to eat healthy! I just had a 50 pound weight loss, step back!
My inlaws gave DS some mashed potatoes before I could stop them. We haven't done much in the way of solids yet. He is six months and I know he is fine to have them, but I'm still really upset about it because he is my baby and I wanted to be the first to give him food. They asked if they could basically after they already gave it to him so I didn't get a chance to say no.
Pretty sure DH thinks I'm overreacting but he's being a decent husband and not saying it outloud. I wish he would have said something to his parents though and asked them not to do that. I hate how he feels like he can never tell them no.
ETA I know they are excited to watch DS eat real food but stepping in and giving him some when he hasnt had any yet and not considering that maybe DH and I should be the ones to give him his first bites is wayyy overstepping in my opinion.

Had our first baby, Samuel Robert, on April 17, 2014!
The neighborhood kids seem to be playing a rousing game of "Ebola Tag." There is much running and shouts of "Ahhhhh, I've got ebola!" and "You have ebola now!"
Clearly they do not understand the concept of "too soon."
Where the hell are their parents? That's so inappropriate.

I was in the lunchroom during 3rd grade lunch last week, and the hot topic at the table was Ebola.
@celticlullaby kazoos, clappers, temp tattoos, glow sticks. As far as the present you can't go wrong with pretend play like play food/cooking, and dress up.
So today we had to take my husbands car in to the shop. It needs a new power steering pump. His car has costed us about $3000 this year to fix with surprise problems. I want to burn the damn thing to the ground.
Pre-Sullivan I was very much not into other people's children (more in an awkward kind of terrified of them way than an I hate kids way), and um, I was super stoked to have my friends and loved ones' munchkins at my showers. That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. "We're celebrating the imminent birth of a child!! No children, please. Mom-to-be clearly won't enjoy their company."
@celticlullaby I like to give toys that require an imagination to use, like pretend play stuff. Or art supplies. None of this electronic toy that makes a sound by pushing a button thing.
@3crazykitties the hostess sounds like an asshole. FFSC I'm one of those who didn't want children at my shower. My nieces and nephews were there and two of my cousins couldn't find a sitter so they brought their little ones. I enjoyed the kids' company
I sent DH and LO to run some errands yesterday. One of them was to go to Target and get an extra blue elephant lovie so that I can wash the lovie more often. He comes back with a pink owl lovey, says that they were out of the elephant, and I liked purple so he got this one.
Dude, it's HOT PINK. Not purple! But DS loves the ears on the thing, so whatever. I laughed though.
I'm so happy!! I put Edolie to sleep IN her sleeper, so skipped the having to put her down part completely. It took maybe 10 minutes, and that was at about 11:45. She stayed asleep til 6, ate, went right back to sleep, I fed her again at 9:30, and she's still sleeping!!! \:D/

@purespark if you guys need a detour to the Jelly Belly factory and outlets, you know who to call!
We are the same though... DH and I were talking about how we need to suck it up and have some fun for ourselves sometimes. We don't do stuff we enjoy anymore, and that needs to change. Ohhhh parenting.
Mt 17 year old sister's bf just broke up with her. She was completely blindsided and is crushed. I have no idea what to do for her since I live 5 hours away, any suggestions?

Awww, oh no! I remember those times. Such a tough age. Maybe send her some flowers with a message about how like.. I don't know, like boyfriends come and go but sisters are always there. I don't know if she would appreciate something cheesy like that. Or maybe y'all could watch a movie together while on the phone or Skyping and pig out on junk food?

MIL is an evil B****. She went and got DD1 french fries even after I said no, the doctor said no more fried foods or high fat foods. So she brings back the fries and tells me I have to give them to Mo because she didn't pay for them, and I only said she couldn't buy her any. So she's standing in front of the screen door waving the French fries at DD1. So I said you know that's not what I meant at all. So she got mad and left. Now I look like the bad guy. I've been battling DD a lot recently with getting her to eat her food instead of snack all day. Thanks MIL.
You know those days where for absolutely no reason your patiencs is incredibly thin and you could snap at anything?
that is me today.
I am struggling not to snap at patients today and they haven't done anything wrong! Why do reception always book all my patients around my break times! FFS there is a 3 hour gap between morning tea and lunch, and you insist on booking everyone at my morning tea time, meaning no break for me! GRRRRRRRRR

DH was home today and LO napped and I got to spend time in the kitchen ! FINALLY.
I made a tomato sauce with the fifty billion tomatoes and it is still simmering and smelling wonderful . Healthy carrot spice muffins ( easy recipe i made up ! ) and an apple crisp/cobbler type thing . Also steamed some carrot and sweet potato to puree in food processor and freeze for LO after.
