(Chill the f out)
DH thinks I worry WAY too much about LO 3 choking on food and eating small toys. Hey, we never had tiny toys when my other two were in the "put things in their mouth" stage.

Screen time. He grew up watching TV all day long (it gets turned on when his dad wakes up at 3:00 am and then goes off once his mom goes to bed at 10:00) and I never turn it on when he is gone.
-
Sugar and screentime.
He literally buys our one year old gummi worms. -
@oliviaoblivia: trolli? Yum!
-
We're mostly on the same page but two issues I remember was when he had to insist on his parents getting the TDAP booster and car seat issues with his parents car.... common element here being standing up to his parents.
-
Um.... everything? I'm like a neurotic anxiety ridden crazy person when it comes to my kids health and safety.
-
How "other" people don't know how to take care of DD, haha. For example, we have to leave DD with his parents all day tomorrow and I've been so stressed b/c they don't see her often nor have taken care of her much so I'm going on and on about how we need to tell them exactly how we do things, etc. He's def like dude, chill out....
-
@snowjewelz: Agree with this. I guess I figure my mom can handle it because I know her rules and parenting style. I dont know his moms and I think she's made some questionable decisions while watching our kids or our nieces and nephews (like going out all day without sunscreen mid summer, letting kids have sweet tea, etc).
-
@T.H.O.U.: His parents help to take care of his sister's two kids so obviously I know they're more than capable... But I'm just worried they will just treat her like them while she certainly is different! They're all different!
-
@Truth Bombs: are you my twin? Cuz that is so me!
-
@autumnlove: I am constantly complaining that none of our laundry detergent or spot removers get out plain old dirt from LO's white clothes?! He army crawls everywhere now (cleaning our floor as he goes) and his white onesies are destroyed. I dont get why PLAIN DIRT wont come out. DW is so sick of me talking about it.
-
Sticking to routine, ie nap times and bed time. However, DD has always been a great sleeper sooooo I tell him it's because of my sticking to the routine
-
Leaving instructions for caregivers. He thinks they can figure it out since everyone we have left her with has experience with babies. I think they should at least know that DD will drink her milk out of a straw cup and an approximate time for her to go to sleep.
-
Noise level when she's sleeping. I'm on edge whenever she naps or goes to bed. More so for naps because the sleep is lighter.
-
Nothing really, I have a long list of things he would CTFO about. I don't know if it's because I am a teacher or I spend all day with them (since it's summer) but I'm not really stressed about anything having to do with them.
If anything, he'd like me to CTFO about how cruddy I feel still (6 months PP).
-
Probably on nagging him lol. Honestly I'm pretty chill on everything else.
-
@Mrs. Goose: omg yes! Dh thinks I'm crazy but I swear he chooses to be loud when dd is sleeping!
-
@snowjewelz: same! I had to work on Saturday and DH took DD to see his parents. His mom babysits my niece and assumes the way my SIL raises a child is the only way to raise a child (she put Karo syrup in her bottles as a first shot at resolving constipation...not something I would do...). I told him he had to be DD's advocate, "don't let your mom feed her anything she doesn't normally eat." For gosh sakes, the last time I dropped her off for a half hour babysitting, we put her in the highchair for a snack and MIL says "would you like milk or juice to drink?" Whelp, shes ALLERGIC to milk and she doesn't drink juice. What's wrong with water?!
Rant over. Basically I need to CTFO when MIL watches DD.
-
Probably he would say everything, but I think I drive him the most crazy about screen time.
-
Snacks and screentime!
-
Maybe sunscreen application? With most things he accepts that what I say needs to be done makes sense. But he doesn't seem to understand that sunscreen needs to be reapplied quite a lot of you're out all day. Doesn't help that his family is quite chill about it.
-
@wrkbrk: I've just found oxi clean foaming bottle at my grocery store and it gets out everything! The regular gel one worked on maybe 50% of the time on the stains on my DD's clothes, but the foaming stuff is awesome!
-
@abbydabbydoodlebug: Thanks for the tip! I'll get some!
-
Everything, definitely. I an neurotic and have OCD. Soooo....yea. I'm a treat
-
Nap time / bed time. He would let our 4 year old go to bed at 9 every night. Except he does not sleep in! I blame bad behavior on lack of sleep and he doesn't buy into it.
-
He'd probably say I should chill out about being pregnant. I am 37w and I just want LO to get the eff out, lol. I am tired and complain-y and feel the need to share with him so he can sympathize.
-
Bed time probably. I'm like, c'mon with the 1/2 hour bath and then playing and then 5 books. I know it's the only time he gets to spend with him, but the kid needs to go to bed. other than that we agree on pretty much everything and are both pretty chill. He gets a little more stressed than I do with behavior.
-
I would like DH to CTFO about LOs behavior. He's 2 (on Thursday!) and its just like relax dude. He's a toddler. He has a lot of feelings, a lot of meltdowns and a lot of irrational behavior. DH is always spazzing out about "whats wrong" with him... nothing!
For me, DH probably just wants me to CTFO about the mornings - I get so stressed out trying to get out the door.
