Everyone go over to parenting and check out my thread and give me your opinion
I'm not convinced based on those pics but definitely test again tomorrow am.
I definitely built up the talk with DH too much. It turned out to be no big deal. We will try to have him start doing bedtime except the nursing of course while I clean up after dinner. We will see how that goes.
Sushi was good. His mom kept asking when N could spend the night with her. This won't be happening; ever. It's my hill to die on and it'll be a fight....
flippinchica, glad it went better than you thought. You live my life lol. We go through cycles. He'll help then not. Talk happens. Rinse and repeat..
He was cleaning up the kitchen while I did the baby stuff and that used to be fine but now the child is a toddler and fights every single step i can't deal with the battle of wills every morning and every night on my own. Plus DS seems to cooperate better for DH anyway.

A has been a monster today. I'm just so beaten up mentally and emotionally. I'm disappointed in myself that I could handle a room full of toddlers but I can't handle my own child's tantrums. She is really giving me the hardest time with everything. I live in anxiety worrying about the next time I'll have to tell her "no" because the tantrum is insane. She was awful in church today. We left before mass was over and I burst into tears the minute I got in the car. I have 2 book bags full of activities for her to do and she doesn't want a single one of them. She was extremely fresh and loud at the bridal shower I had this afternoon. The only thing I've found that calms her down all the time is the kindle and even that didn't interest her. I'm sorry this is a ramble and a vent but I'm just done with today.
taketheshot big hugs momma. We're having a lot of tantrums over here as well. I just try remind myself that this is just a phase. A shitty phase I hate, but still a phase. Hugs and wine for you.
taketheshot, I'm sorry. I can totally see how it'd be "easier" to deal with childcare kids than your own when it comes to tantrums- you send the others home eventually lol... Hopefully as 2 comes it'll get easier (the curve runningmommy519 posted)

taketheshot sorry for the rough phase. I, too, understand. The past couple of weeks M has been having some epic melt downs too. It is not fun. That was part of my fight with DH today. Hugs to you

Thanks for the love and support, Ladies. I guess I'm just learning the hard way that I do not have this age figured out. Doesn't matter how many toddlers I've had in my care, it's completely different with your own kid. Sigh... Off to start another day..
taketheshot I'm so sorry she's having such a hard time. I worked with kids as well and I'm always amazed at how much he gets to me. It's like he's throwing a tantrum AT me. Big hugs.
