@theotherstark: yay for rolling!
DH has never done a MOTN wakeup after the first week. He sleeps in the same room as the baby and never hears her.

All I have to say is MEN. Whenever I mention that I am tired my husband is like oh man me too you have no idea. I finally told him I don't want him to commiserate with me. I want him to tell me I'm amazing and awesome and offer to rub my feet.
Ryan's no nap bullshit is really really annoying. I am so over this phase. But he found his feet and is rolling both ways now. Fun!

@whenoceansrise: YES! That's so true!
@winniebee: Oh man, good for you! I hope you got a foot rub! Boo for no naps, but yay for rolling!

@winniebee: haha yes!! whenever he's like "man I'm tired" or "man I had a long day" inside I'm like "$*&A%*(&%" hahaha~

@winniebee: Woohoo on rolling, boo on naps - our naps suck too. Now I'm anxious for the nap consolidation that occurred for us at 12 months - one long middle of the day nap and I could plan my days so much better!

Oh boy, husbands! We've been struggling. Neither of us are great communicators and I've been generally stressed lately. I've been getting really irrationally mad over little things. And even I'm ashamed of myself and struggle to explain to DH that some things just suck right now, including ME!
I told him yesterday that it's not personal, I just don't like anyone right now and I want to run away from everything for just a day - including him.
He does a lot of things to help our family, but sometimes I get frustrated that I'm left with parenting while he's doing things like the yardwork. I don't necessarily want to do the yardwork, but I just want a break where I can get out of the house and not fight with the big kid about being gentle and with the little one about needing a nap.
And to the SAHM's, I'm still in awe, I don't know how you do it everyday. I'd need some pretty serious medication, I think.

@theotherstark: @winniebee: Aww. yay for rolling both ways now!
@whenoceansrise: Thats especially true since E sleep sucks!
I actually usually feel bad for DH since E is waking both of us up every 2 hours, and DH has to get up earlier/work longer days. I try to quiet him as fast as possible.
E has been extra fussy the past couple nights when it's 'bedtime'. I'm thinking teething as well...

@MamaG: Do you ever get a break? I do the grocery shopping on Sundays and Hubs stays home with the kids while I go out and about. I don't necessarily love shopping, but it's a nice break for me! Sometimes I'll stop at Target to do a little shopping therapy before I head home.
pomegranate / 3973 posts
@MamaG: My biggest thing with DH is that he can leave the house whenever he wants / do whatever he wants, but I have to 'ask' before I can, since I need him to watch E. The main responsibilities of childcare seem to default to mom regardless... Not that I don't love taking care of him and want to spend 98% of my time with him, but there is that 2% of alone time that would be nice.

@josina: Yess this! Like I need permission, then I need to plan it out 100% before I can get out of the door! All my outings are carefully orchestrated lol!

@MamaG: awww sorry, it is hard! I had to laugh at your yard work statement I LOVE to mow the lawn now
.lol never thought I'd say that! Hopefully you can find some you time!

@MamaG: boo for teething I'm not sure whether I want to get it over with or put it off! My daughter weaned herself from the pacifier when she was using it as a teether, so that was convenient.
Funny about the naps too - with M I dreaded her dropping down to one nap. What would I do without my free time in the morning!?! This time I sort of can't wait. So much more freedom to do things!
@Adira: It's so hard to watch the other parent doing something that you think is so obviously wrong! I've been trying really hard not to step in lately since DH pointed it out recently. Super frustrating though!!
pomelo / 5298 posts
@Adira: I do need to find my "thing". Grocery shopping is either a group activity or DH. He does the majority of our cooking so I get why he'd prefer to do the shopping. It's more expensive if I do it alone because he'll go separately to get more things.
I know a lot of my issues are my own and not the fault of my DH, but that doesn't stop me from getting grumpy with him.
honeydew / 7283 posts
DH has been making me crazy lately talking about the night wakings and how tired he is! Are you kidding me?!? TBH - he does wake up each time that J does, but he doesn't get out of bed or anything! I understand that the disrupted sleep is difficult, but I am NOT the person that he should be complaining to about this.
I think it's kind of like @winniebee: said - he's trying to commiserate, but it's really not working for me!

@MrsF: C still does a nap, so it would be easier if I knew we'd get a good solid couple of hours midday at home of rest. As it is now with my crap napper, I feel very confined to home because I never know when she's going to sleep or for how long.
And regarding parenting differences. Oh boy! I learned this with C that DH and I do things differently and while I don't always like his ways, as long as it's not hurting anyone, I need to let go. It's not always easy, but for my sanity and his, I need to allow him to do things his way or I'm doing everything and being grumpy
pomelo / 5298 posts
@winniebee: OMG! Yes, if my husband told me that I'm an awesome mom (and wife) instead of commiserating I think I'd walk on air or a day or two.
I just recently figured out my love language is words of affirmation. I need my little ego stroked from time to time I might have to try your line out on my DH soon.
wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts
@MrsF: Yeah, I usually try really hard not to interfere, but Xander's heartbreaking cries were getting to me!! And I felt like Hubs was ignoring me to when I was asking him "Why don't you just let him have it cold? He's teething and the cold waffle probably feels good." Gahh! There was no winning that one!
@MamaG: Ahh, I gotcha. I'm usually the cook, so it makes sense that I go shopping. Maybe you both can come to an agreement about you each getting some "me" time. Maybe he gets to go out for an hour on Saturday while you watch the kids and then you can go out on Sunday. Or do every other week even.

Hahahha DH and I are bonding over MIL drama. Ugh, each day gets worse. DH has blocked his mom from his social media. He wants me to do the same but I think it will escalate the situation even more. The way things are going I have 0 interest in her being a part of our children's life.
wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts
@BandDmommy: Oh dear! At least you and DH are on the same page about it though!
wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts
@BandDmommy: Good for your relationship....? lol! Does she comment a lot on social media? If not it's probably not huge deal not to block her
pomelo / 5660 posts
@Adira: I have never had anyone talk to me the way she has talked to me the past few days.. She has called me awful names.. All this because we asked her to come another weekend than her ex husband. Not sure we deserve this treatment
wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts
@BandDmommy: No one deserves that kind of treatment, even if you were intentionally slighting her! I'm sorry!
honeydew / 7283 posts
@MamaG: I think that my love language is words of affirmation too. Because it's something that I crave I tend to give DH lots of praise. So I'm walking around praising him all of the time (which he really doesn't care about or need) while he doesn't really give me as much as I need, which just makes me more frustrated! We've actually been in a really good place since a big heart to heart about a week ago, but sometimes it's something that really gets to me.
pomegranate / 3973 posts
@BandDmommy: Wow, sorry that it has escalated to that! At least you and DH are on the same page. Sad.
honeydew / 7283 posts
@Adira: I totally get it. I'd be sitting there grinding my teeth and then just probably eventually explode. Just give the kid the $@%! cold waffle!
@BandDmommy: Sorry you're dealing with that but glad that you and your DH are on the same page!
wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts
@MrsF: hahaha, I did that first! And he just kept ignoring me, and Xander was just crying, so I got up and gave him the waffle! I'll try to stay out of it next time though - I guess if he wants to deal with a tantrum for no reason, I should just let him.

@BandDmommy: ooffff I'm Sorry but glad you and DH are on the same page! That I am sure makes things easier!!!!

4 month apt
We are 14.3 lbs and.....26.5 inches Long girl!!!
He also confirmed teething and showed me the little raised bud, he said it could come in weeks or months!
Shots this time were awful she cried for 10 mins and would not calm down so much so she wouldn't even nurse!
She seems ok now!!
wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts
@FaithFertility: Haha I knew it, those legs!! Aww poor baby! Gotta ask ped to see if she has any signs of teeth too! She eats everything all day long and drools like crazy but doesn't seem to be in discomfort..

@FaithFertility: definitely quite the cure all! Hope her shots and tooth don't bother her too much today.
