Bitch It Out Here.

jamjoyful · December 2014

It is Monday.

I have been up since 5AM with DD2. She's finally back down for a nap but there is no point in me going to sleep since DD1 should be up soon.

Bright side? I made muffins at 6 this morning so that's nice.

vk2204 · December 2014

Thursday night DS slept 8 hours. And the next few days he slept a solid 6-7 hours at night. I had to work this morning and of course he got up at 2am. I wake up at 4am for work so I fell back asleep at like 3:30am. I am crabby.

mfsunshine222 · December 2014

Right there with you! LO slept GREAT the whole break; last night = worst night EVER. How do they know we are going back to work?

rainbowwillow · December 2014

LO had a horrible night. Screamed in his crib till I took him to our bed. Nursed him to sleep then woke up several times to him kicking and punching me.

caybeh · December 2014

I'll join the tired gang. I went to bed at 9:30, DD wakes up at 10:30. Back to bed at 11. DD makes noises at 12:30. I fed her and go back to bed. She grunts at 2:30. I decide that she is probably just grunting in her sleep. She was and continued to do it every two hours. She wasn't awake, just would let out one grunt. It would be enough though to wake me. Then DS got up at 6:30. I thought most toddlers need 12-14 hours of sleep. Evidently not mine. He gets 10 total. He doesn't nap.

And...it's cold, like -30 wind chills. So it's going to be a long day at home.

poofwok · December 2014

They're doing renovations in our condo building and I've been hearing excruitiating loud drilling noises since 7 am. LO and I are both losing our minds.

belle785 · December 2014

Same here on the sleep front. DS2 was up at 12, 3, and 5. Up for the day at 7.

jamjoyful · December 2014

Coffee for everyone!!! Sounds like we are all exhausted today.

Erika101076 · December 2014

LO was up at 10, 11, 1:30, 3:30, 4:30, 6, 7 & finally 9.... That has been my life for 2 wks

vk2204 · December 2014

This could be me just over reacting but a few weeks ago MIL was at our house to see DS and she said that she forgot to bring the pictures over. H and I asked what pictures and she said "I found all of your old dance pictures with your girlfriends and I thought vk would love to see them and you would want to have them!" and then she had to list every person that were in the pictures with H. H was like, no thanks why would I want those. I don't care about those people. and blah blah.

WTF would I want to see them? I went to school with H since 7th grade and I have pictures with him at every dance so it's not like I don't know what he used to look like lol. I told H it pissed me off, like she was trying to rub all of his old dates in my face or something and he actually agreed with me.

This weekend we were at their house and she brought the pictures out and was all like "oh my gosh look at these" and I walked away and said "I am going to feed our child".

Typing this out makes me realize how lame it is that it bothered me and I am making something out of nothing. But then again she did make a scrap book for H when we were dating (about 3-4 years in) and there was an 8 page spread of a girl that he grew up with. There was not one picture of me in there.

jamjoyful · December 2014

@vk2204‌ I was going to say I wouldn't sweat it too much until I read about the scrapbook. Why in the hell would she make a scrapbook for you with other girls and not you?

Strange woman.....

becominggold · December 2014

And my bitch is about coffee! Ok...so for the first two years of marriage I left the house before 7 am for work and either got coffee on the way or at work, so I understand DH was in the habit of making enough for himself only. BUT...I've been home in the morning for SIX MONTHS now!!! Six months! I would love to find more than half a cup in the pot when I go to have coffee. Maybe I will make a sign for the coffee pot!

RedBean84 · December 2014

Backstory: I had a best friend from about 9th grade all the way through college. She was the maid of honor in my wedding. For various reasons, I decided to pull back on the friendship. She never did anything to me, and I don't have any animosity toward her, she just made various decisions that made me rethink my friendship with her. I will probably always love her, and have no problem when I see her in public.

My bitch: I was at a baby shower yesterday and saw my former best friend. She was asking me how I liked staying home LO and when I planned on going back to work. I told her that I love it and don't plan on going back to work for the foreseeable future. She then asked why I bothered to get my masters' degree if I don't plan on returning to work. Um, ok so I guess I should tell my 2010 self that I should not bother furthering my education and improving myself because I might have a baby that I might want to stay home with one day?!?! This is the same person who told me on multiple occasions that she wishes she could stay home with her girls but she can't for financial reasons. She also told me a couple years ago that the reason I had trouble conceiving was because I "waited to long." Keep in mind I was 27 when we started trying; it's not like I was 45 trying to get pregnant for the first time. Ugh! Thanks for the vent ladies.

I'll join in on the sleep bitch. DD used to be an awesome sleeper, now she wakes up every two hours. I've tried putting her down earlier and later. A bottle so I know exactly how much she eats before. Nothing works. I guess at least she's eating more. But I want to sleep. I miss sleep.

Elaina22 · December 2014

No sleep here either. And on top of that, H requested I put the flannel sheets on our bed yesterday. I did and now getting up in the middle of the night is so much more painful. I just want to snuggle in my bed all night!

A pathetic complaint, I know.

cdseno · December 2014

Why did I turn the heat and my heated seat off in my car last night when I got home?! That defeats the purpose of having a remote car starter so I can get in a warm car when it is 25 degrees outside. I will probably never leave Michigan, but I hate the cold so much.

RoccoBabyK · December 2014

Oh and I almost forgot. A good friends mom watches DD for me when I work. I substitute teach which means they can call me at 6am and say they need someone to come in. So to make that work I set up specific days during the week that she would watch her or expect her. And I just keep her updated. We both agreed to this. Well she left on Friday to go visit her daughter who lives ten hours away and isn't leaving to come back until tomorrow. Which is one of our scheduled days. I'm annoyed because she didn't Even let me know she was going. Idk if I am working yet or not but a little heads up from her would have been nice. Now I can't work even if I get a call. They are like a second family to me and I don't want to say anything but I am so annoyed by it.

60 on Sunday to barely 30 on Monday is NOT fun.

Wondering the same thing @chrisseb! I saw it on the random thread but figured it was one of the random newbs with a drive by post. All the love tits they get intrigue me.

I thought the deleted user on the randoms thread was lappyfoinker but she didn't post in here today.

mmsweeney1 · December 2014

I think it is addysmom22! She posted that beating a dead horse thing on the food thread and it's gone

IceHide61313 · December 2014

@addysmom22‌ are you still here?!

You're right!! I wonder what happened...

belle785 · December 2014

I have another... I'm sick of my house being a wreck. With two kids there are toys everywhere! And I hate toys with small pieces that get lost.

My LO has adopted the sleeping habits of a 1 week old baby and has decided to just scream through nap time instead of sleep. I had to walk away more than once to cool off. She. cries. all. day.

Where can I take this baby in to exchange her for one that isn't clearly broken? I think I got a defective model....

I feel the same exact way! Only I can't walk away 'cause DH is on nights so I have to try to calm her down ASAP.

jamjoyful · December 2014

@addysmom22‌ come back!!!

Someone did but I certainly hope that is not why she left. I don't even know who that person was. @theteno‌

becominggold · December 2014

@addysmom22 hope you come back! !!

Seriously sister, get over the fact that you are not always right. And quit being so anti-DH. He's done nothing to you. Ever.

Someone fill me in here. What's happening?

MandMLeona · December 2014

My random bitch: I'm sick of poopy diapers. Even as a newborn DD rarely pooped twice a day. She'd gotten down to once every 3 days as her norm. She got a stomach bug from her sisters and has been pooping at least 5 times a day for 10 days. Some days it's twice that. And she's outgrowing her current size diapers, so multiple blowouts in a day are not uncommon. I can't wait to finish this box of diapers.

Every time I think she's getting over this it starts over... so I think about calling doctor and it lets up...so frustrated.

dvmmomma · December 2014

We can't have lost @addysmom22‌ AND @lappyfoinker! And I don't know all these new people either! As a quasi lurker turned active, I never used to understand why people on here got so annoyed with new people or topics being discussed multiple times.

I get it now.

Oh, and my bitch for the day? It's 8 degrees where I hail from.

Dawn5481 · December 2014

If one more person tells me how FI and I need to get married now that we have a child, I'm gonna flip. It's not 1952. I will get married when I'm damn good and ready. I would rather spend the money on my kid than a wedding right now. Delaney will understand and will love us no less.

-30 Celsius where I live today. So that Works out to minus 22 Fahrenheit.

Gross. I'm sorry. 25 degrees F is all I can manage. When it gets colder I can't function. At least it isn't snowing here today.

Some have seen this already but, some of our friends from church are going to New York this week. We were supposed to go with them. We all started planning right before i found out I was pregnant, they said it wouldn't be a problem and to bring the baby once it was out. Well further I got into my pregnancy I quit hearing about the trip, honestly thinking it had fallen through, knowing how some of them can be "wishy washy". Nope, they're still going. I found this out months later when someone had mentioned that they had gotten their tickets for the Broadway show we talked about going to. I don't have the balls to say anything, so it really sucks and I'm hurt over it.

If it was because of the baby, they could have said so, even though one couple has children too. Either my mom or MIL would have loved to watch the baby, my mom had even already asked if she needed to when we first told her about it.

I could not keep my mouth shut over this. I'd say something to your friends.

It is the end of the semester and no matter how many times I tell H I have tons of homework to do, he can't seem to get it through his thick skull that I need him to help with the kids. He left to go buy a light bulb earlier and was gone for 2 hours. Then he got home and decided he needed to return something to the store and get beer so he left again. I don't even get the chance to tell him not to go, he just grabs his stuff and is out the door. So now I get to work on homework while making dinner and trying to calm the crying baby. I'm so glad I only have a week left of the semester.
