I don't want to go out for mothers day. I have years past because i love my mother in law, but this year I'm a mom. I work in the culinary department in a hotel. Its our busiest day of the year. We will serve, roughly 800 people. Its buffet style but its not easy. Every year, after DH and i get off work we meet up with his 2 sisters, their husbands, collectively 4 children and my mother in law. After busting my ass all day. I'm always hot, sweaty and my legs ache. The last thing i want to do is go to a crowded resteraunt. It's the busiest day in the industry. I'll go out with then sometime around mothers day. But this year all i want after work is a hot shower, snuggle my baby and not hear pots and pans clanging around.
Some nights I know I should do the night time routine and put my baby to sleep in his bed but I just hold him till I go to bed because I know he's not going to be this little forever and want to sleep in my arms.
It seems ridiculous to me when parents cry over taking their kids to get shots. Five seconds of pain for a lifetime without polio, diphtheria, etc. etc.? I am so not conflicted about that. Are you also going to burst into tears when your toddler sobs in the grocery store about not getting to buy two dozen boxes of fruit by the foot and no actual food?
@klbh I will admit I cried a little the night my LO got his shots, but it was more for the fact that he was inconsolable and I felt bad that there wasn't anything I could do to help him. I'm definitely all for a lifetime free from polio and diphtheria!!! When my toddler throws a fit in the grocery store however, there will be time out involved, right there, in public
