MH loves March 4th because he says it's the only day of the year whose name is a complete sentence ("March forth!"). I insist that actually every day in March is a full sentence because you could be telling people what order to march in (fifth, sixth, etc.).
We're at minute 32 here. There's a bed in the room right next to the bathroom. Wouldn't it be more comfortable to just read in there for awhile? I'm still so confused by men sometimes.
For real. DH spends so much time in there, he should have produced the 'Next Great American Novel' by now.
It was this way pre-kids, too, but I definitely notice it more now. I taught B to knock on the door and say, "open up, it's the police!" The 3 y.o. and I find this hilarious.
Oh. So it's all men. Was also like this pre-kids (in fact he actually hurries up now). Am I the only one that just goes when I have to go. So much other stuff to do, why do I want to sit on a toilet seat and let my legs go numb. But seriously, I found out some odd stuff a while back. H actually undresses to poop. Apparently this is a thing.
I'm about to head out to do a little shopping with C--our old babysitter is home from college for the weekend so she's with B. She gets to make some $ and I get to do errands threenager-free...win/win.
We went this morning to finish B's soccer registration at our church. There was mention of 'evaluations' but I assumed that wouldn't apply to the younger age groups that haven't played before. Wrong! Poor B was doing drills in jeans and Nikes while all the other kids were in soccer garb and cleats, lol.
waitwhat That was me yesterday. I woke up and was just like, I do not want to parent today. But it's not a choice apparently. Goodluck with the bridesmaid thing. And taxes. We did ours last weekend.
Lol LizInFL! I love that. Plus, toddlers say things in the cutest way.
kleigh Um...what? I've never heard of people undressing to poop.
We just got home from breakfast out. My mom came so we a) didn't have to pay and b) she wrangled the toddler for us!! So much winning. It was a last minute thing since DH was supposed to run a 5k with the dog this morning, but it's raining.
Later we have our bookclub and then I want to clean out the car. That's about it since it's so wet today.
Re men in the bathroom: mine actually is relatively fast. No more than 5 minutes ever and only when he has to go. Usually he goes at school, actually, so I am only around if his "schedule" is off and weekends/holidays/summer.
Re: men in bathroom. So we live in a 100 yr old house that has settled so the bathroom door doesn't close all the way so you can't lock it. So now when H is in the bathroom O always wants to go in there. He just pushes the door open. H has learned how to be faster if he wants to be alone. Haha
Also, I'm going to file your H, kleigh, under the weird category.
We went to an indoor play place this morning and now both kids are napping. I'm letting E nap in my lap to ensure she gets a long one now because I know later will only be like 20-30 min naps when O is awake.
Also, FTR, I left the celibate couch last night! It was so much better than the first time after O. I am so relieved that's over with.

Happy weekend! We're going to the ILs later for pizza. I didn't end up stopping by Thursday because I thought it'd be weird to just stop by for an hour then say bye I'm going to my parents now. I told H to just make plans with his parents so he did. I don't know why that's so difficult.
I set up C's high chair yesterday. He looks so little in it but I think he likes sitting next to us while we eat. And I might be crazy but I swear he's trying to immitate what we're doing. I have to post a video on the private board cuz it's adorable.
Also +1 to H taking forever in the bathroom. And I've never heard of getting undressed kleigh! Weird lol
I'm going to do the thank you notes for J's baptism today. Do I write them from his perspective or is that weird? It seems strange to me since people know he's only 4 months and can't talk.
I would write them from you. I think it makes sense to come from the kid once they can talk. Just my opinion.

I'm basically the opposite of kleigh's H. I do not like sitting on the toilet while naked. I feel very exposed. Even if I'm about to get in, or just got out of, the shower, I'll put on a robe or something.
You guys I've actually heard of other guys doing it! After H told me he does it (bottoms only) I asked my brothers and a couple guy friends and several of them admitted they take their pants off lol. Weird? Yes I totally agree. But I'm under the impression it's not just him.

My H doesn't do it, but I have heard of others doing it.
Did you ever see the Seinfeld episode where George does it at a party?
tgrimes1980 how's H feeling? Did you get any sleep last night?
He's still congested/coughing & not eating very much. I'm tired. MH is in a bad mood because I woke him up twice to put his paci in. Our cable isn't working so he's even more pissy.
Should probably throw a diaper on him too since it sounds like he keeps walking around with a load of poop in his pants.
This sickness has been never ending for you, I hope you at least get some sleep soon.

LOL! He was ready to cancel our service because no one could come out til Thursday. My coworker's husband works for AT&T so he pulled some strings and got someone to come out today. Thank God!
#ihaveconnections
Those are good connections to have. That's one of those things my H would have gone absolutely ballistic over.
What's your fav white wine? I'm drinking a late autumn Riesling but I'm not a big fan. I think I might not like white anymore but should probably give everyone else another try before calling it a day.
What age does separation anxiety start? I swear I could hardly turn my back on H today, never mind leave the room for 5 seconds, and he was crying to break his heart.
Funny you mention that. The other day I put J down to get the mail and he started bawling. If I walked toward him he immediately stopped. But as soon as I turned and walked away poor kid would cry and cry. So I'm guessing like as soon as they cut the umbilical cord basically.

Same here.
+1
D is definitely not as needy as some of the other N'16 LO's are, but she's for sure super-attached to me. Anytime she's crying, she stops immediately if she sees me. I thought they weren't supposed to realize you still exist if you are out of sight until they're 6 months old but I guess not!

I'm so irritated with MH. He can't seem to adjust to DS2 needing to be in bed by 8pm. Tonight we went out to dinner and then shopping for DS1's birthday. It was about 7:30 when we finished shopping, perfect timing to get home and put DS2 down, except at the last minute he decided to stop at Best Buy. And then the grocery store and then the gas station. We didn't get home until after 8:30 And then he insisted on giving both boys a bath. Fast forward to right now at 9:30 and DS2 is screaming in my face because he's so over tired because his bedtime was an hour and a fucking half ago! Even more frustrating is that I literally had a conversation with him just last night about how we need to be home before 8pm so I get the baby to bed without a battle.
I'm just going to stop leaving the house with him in the evenings. I get that DS1 can go to bed later and there aren't any issues, but we're on a baby's schedule now. I'm tired of having him fight at bedtime because he's so overtired because MH can't seem to get us home on time.
Sorry for the rant. Today was actually a good day until now.
jubilantsquirrel LT for commiseration. I'm sorry your good day took a turn!
We have the same issue all the time as it relates to bedtime - H doesn't quite get it. My mom (even though she works full time), if she visits on a weekday she rushes out of the office to get here for 4:35 (I'm either already at home WFH or on the days I go in the office I pick up the kids from next door at 3-3:15). Because H works a little later on the days I go in the office my mom helps give baths,clean bottles, start dinner, and help me get the kids ready for bed - knowing they go down around 6:15-6:30.
Hs mom, does not work (no shame in that just part of the set up)... And not like she does ever visit. But when she does, she insists on it being a weekday at 6-6:30. Ok, well that's when the kids go down sooooooooo no. She makes it to H like "poor her" we don't let her see the kids and he doesn't see the big deal in pushing it out. Alec will just shut down and fall asleep right on the spot. Adeline will turn into a monster and I'm the one that gets to deal with it.
So yeah, screw you guys I'm sticking to their routine right now.

kleigh O doesn't go down until 830 so I start the bed time routine at 8 and my MIL still complains what she only gets to see him for an hour! Trust me, you don't want to see him after 830 if he's still awake!
hangry I love Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, and Prosseco.
I really need to run some errands today but I honestly don't feel like taking O. We tried to take him to lunch yesterday and he melted down again. Wouldn't sit in the car seat so I'm holding him (not eating) and then he even got tired of that! My H had to leave the restaurant w him while I shoved food in my mouth and paid the bill. This is not fun. He took a 3 hour morning nap, was fed and changed. I don't know what else to do.
