sigh. my 6.5 year old is a bottomless pit of need for attention lately and my husband and I can't agree on how to handle it. I *assume* its related to the baby - him feeling anxious over the change in our family and fearing that I'll not have enough attention left over for him - but we can't get him to express that. If you ask him he's delighted for baby. But his behavior has been driving us crazy for weeks. I also think that he's having a rough adjustment to first grade and that's not helping. But the worst part is that it's causing conflict between my husband and I, and he's not a great communicator as it is. I had a terrible day at work (I don't know HOW I'm ever going to go on leave) and I come home to find the two of them (h and 6.5 y/o) locked in a power struggle. I just wanted to walk back out and find a nice, quiet hotel room somewhere.
I'm sorry. I have a similar situation with my 7year old daughter except she is being very vocal about it. She says she doesn't think we'll have as much time for her when the baby comes and complains that I can't do much now like lift her up etc..
I try to give her all my love and attention and talk to her about it, and it seems to ease her mind a bit at least for a while. I hope you find a way to resolve your tough situation at home and that your son adjusts to all the changes. Hugs.
I have to agree with @CandEChicago@Queeniemom22 - I don't remember so much anger from you prior to the bc invasion/name change. I'm not sure what could've changed on tb that drastically in such a short time.
I'm sorry about the name calling, I thought it was in good fun just showing leos mom that I know the regulars. Sorry if that was taken the wrong way. I just thought I'd mention something funny.
Yeah...cause calling someone a thief is all fun and games. Actually I am sure it could be more appropriately defined as slanderous versus fun.

It was not meant literally and she's been called that before. Also I do not consider accidentally not paying for a greeting card thievery and I don't recall who flamed her for it but to me it was really weird that she got flamed for it at all. So sorry @leosmom25 and if you do not recall I'm the other Endo girl from This Thread....that has died a long time ago

Yeah it would have been funny if someone nice said it. I don't know about you, but being name called by someone you don't know or care to know isn't funny. Did I take offense to being called Mrs. Poop? Um. No. But was it funny? Not in a humorous way but in a sad and desperate attempt to try and relate to someone, sure. Sad funny is never a good thing, please do yourself a favor and keep the "jokes" to yourself.
D14 November Siggy Challenge: The feels of 3rd trimester...
No matter how much water I drink lately my lips are still always chapped and I still feel thirsty. Also, the more I drink, the more I pee and the more it hurts when the baby head butts me in the bladder. Basically, I can't win!!!
OP, I don't know what line of work you are in but your boss sounds like a bitch! I don't know the fully story either but if she continues to act this way you can probably sue her or file a complaint with HR that there is discrimination against you because of pregnancy, especially since you are on bed rest. Hope you feel better.
I'm super late to this thread. I will never understand why there's an assumption/need that all of us should agree about things. I have certainly posted things that others don't agree with and nobody tried to run me off. Or perhaps I can just take the criticism, learn from it, and move on like an adult.
What a boring place this world would be if we all thought exactly the same way!! No thanks!
I was about to say something very similar. I'm sure I've said things others disagreed with. It doesn't have to be a BFD.
