Monday Bitchfest?

  1. DH and I have been arguing almost everyday for a couple weeks now and I honestly do not know how to fix it. It's always over absolutely nothing too. Most of the time it's just the way we talk to eachother, and terrible communication and we know that's why. But it seems like no matter how much we discuss it, and say we're going to change things, they just don't change. I wouldn't mind counseling but honestly we couldn't afford it. 

  
  

  2. When we made this big move, we were staying in a house on my fathers properyty. Needless to say, things weren't what we thought they were going to be and we butted heads with him consistantly. I've never had any relationship with my dad unless we were on bad terms so I don't know why I thought things would be different. Anyway, he's crazy. And I'm pretty sure he popped one of our tires yesterday. Apparently he's been trying to get ahold of us to come pick up a radio that he left at our house that I tried to give back to him two weeks go. He said he didn't need it so I wasn't worried about it. Then last night he call six times back to back while I was giving DD a bath and started freaking out like I was avoiding him. Anyway, he's coming by to pick up the stupid thing tonight and I'm not looking forward to seeing him. I just don't like him. I have no respect for him as a person. He's a pathological liar, a complete asshole, and I just want him out of my life. I have half a mind to just put the thing on the porch and let that be 

  
  

  TL;DR

  DH and I can't get along and my dad is a douche.

  Over the weekend I did the most careless thing of my life. I walked into my room looked at the cords by my bed I'm always yelling at DS to stay away from and decided to finally relocate them behind the bed. I called to DH to grab me a power cord from the basement, placed my hot lemon water on the nightstand and began unplugging everything. While on the other side of the bed DS toddled on in, before I could turn around to call him, he was at the night stand grabbing my mug. I heard it happen, him scream the mug hit the ground, ran to him, scooped him up ran to the bathroom pulled his shirt of ran cool water got him in it. DH took over in the bath and I called 911. One ambulance ride and shot of morphine later we are being admitted over night for 1 degree and superficial 2nd degree burns. We are home and DS while bandaged up is no worse for the wear. My bitch is if one more person says it wasn't my fault I will throat punch them. It was my fault he is 14 months old and explores everything. Yes it was an accident but still I was careless and my child got hurt. I am counting my blessings it wasn't worse and that he is still my happy boy, but I also take responsibility and realize I need to be more aware and think 3 steps ahead of him.
  
  Sorry that was long, but very therapeutic for me.

  @munchkinsmama‌ I am so so sorry, that must have been awful! I'm glad your LO seems to be shaking it off pretty well. I think people just say those things to try and make you feel better, just remember that people mean well even though it may not make you feel any better or take away the guilt. I totally get where you're coming from and hope you'll forgive yourself soon! ::hugs::

  @munchkinsmama I am so sorry you and your LO had to go through that. I can only imagine the guilt you feel. I'm no going to say its not your fault but only because you're sick of it. Good to hear LO is no worse for the wear and as pp said, I hope you forgive yourself soon!

  Thanks ladies for all the support, didn't mean to hijack the thread. I think typing it out actually helped a bunch.
  @pigtailsandpinafores I'm so sorry you had to go through that and glad to hear your both okay. I feel like this incident definitely helped to remind me to take things slower.

  @fiveohfive have you checked out the heath exchange. DH and I each have ins through our employer's but recently signed DS up on Fidelis. It's $150 a month but no copays and full rx coverage. I know in NY it's based on your salary (no cap) and # of kids you have. We plan to put our next LO on it as well.
