Hey!!! I've been lurking and LTing. Hugs to everyone who needs them. I started back in the office on Friday and so far it's going well. Louis is doing okay and daycare and Henry loves going to visit him in the baby room. It's cute! I'll try to be around more now that I have designated pump breaks to TCF.
Oh, and PDQ but this weekend I had my first moment of true judgment of another mom. *poof*
BFP #1 December 2012 - MMC January 2013, D&C February 2013 BFP #2 October 2014 - DD arrived July 16, 2015 BFP #3 July 2016 - MC @ 9 weeks August 2016 BFP #4 Due January 2, 2018 - Please stick baby!
What would you put an almost 4 yo and almost 2 yo in for an evening church wedding at the end of May? Khakis? Khaki shorts?
Also, am I crazy for not wanting to take them? Or not wanting to go at all? It starts at 6:45 and bedtime is 7:30 (normally, obviously they'd be up late). They will have the church nursery open and attended but LOL at the idea that T would go with a stranger in a new place like that. It's H's cousin's wedding. I've never met her, she didn't come to my wedding and H says he's "never heard her talk." We'll have to make the 4.5 hour trip for the second weekend in a row (his brother's baby shower is the weekend before). H really wants to go because his grandma will be there. I haven't met her because she has dementia that set in right around the time we started dating but it took her kids years to figure out what was going on and that she wasn't just ignoring them. I say that someone else's wedding is not the time for this kind of reunion and to meet our kids, especially after bedtime.
Let your DH go and be his grandma's date. I would not take my kids. No one wants cranky kids at a wedding, especially momma trying to keep them quiet. Can grandma come to the shower the weekend before? Or he grandma and the kids can do something while you are at the shower?
EmMilAlly oh, that poor tired kid. I'm with @traceyos, what are they even doing all evening/night with a toddler?! I'm completely tapped by bedtime, which is 7:00.
EmMilAlly, I'm judging too. Who puts their kid to sleep at midnight??? WTF do you do with a kid after 7pm?
Right?! Apparently he won't go to bed earlier, and I was like "well it's not up to him!" I was on the verge of launching into the whole sleep begets sleep spiel when someone said "but if they go to bed early, when do you spend time with your kids since you WORK?" I then decided to leave the room before I burned the whole place down with my fiery death stares.

If someone ever tried to bring that nonsense to your door you should bring up that working moms today spend more time with their children than SAH mothers did when we were growing up. And that keeping a child up late so you can see them is selfish and wrong.
That poor kid. I'm sure he's probably a behavioral nightmare too, because isn't everyone when they're overtired?!
To add to the fun, ryan is taking me to urgent care, I slammed my head on the car door. I feel drunk, dizzy, my temples are radiating with pain and I am exhausted. Typing this even feels weird. Not my day.

Oh no @kateschristine18 that sounds like a concussion for sure! DH always tells his athletes to stay away from screens and tvs too much after a concussion. Try to take it easy after the doctor! If they are not helpful or you have more questions/concerns feel free to pm me. This is DH's area of expertise and I always volunteer him luckily he is more than happy to help others.😊
Inspired by the birthday thread we are doing play doh this afternoon. What do your kids do with the Play-Doh? We don't have any forms so it's just a few cans. Molly is just taking it out, putting it back in the can, closing the can, stacking the can. I tried to get her to flatten it like a pancake or stab it with a fork and she said "no."
Eta this is boring
Play doh is the worst.
But a rolling pin and some cookie cutters might be fun for her. It will never be fun for you because play doh is the worst.
State test #4 done. Three more to go. I said to myself many times today "this is what hell looks like."
DS1 also pooped his pants. He's done it probably 3-4 times in the last week. He went over a month with no issues and is starting back up again. It's so frustrating.
@traceyos we do cookie cutters etc. also I love the toy you linked last week but we are SO not ready for it. R just takes the whole thing and throws it so the pieces scatter everywhere. 😒 (but I'm looking forward to when he will use it to stack etc)
@officedronette he actually is really sweet and doesn't act out, but I know he's speech delayed. Their pediatrician wants him evaluated but instead they are "practicing talking" at home. I know that doesn't have anything to do with sleep, but the poor little guy was half asleep on the sofa the whole afternoon when we were there while the other kids were up playing and interacting. To add to the craziness, they are loudly talking about wanting to adopt a 5th child. This is seriously the first time I've thought, "wtaf" about another parent.

::: trying so hard not to judge these people::: Ahhhh, fuck it! THEY NEED SOME SELF-REFLECTION AND INSIGHT. IMMEDIATELY.
It's one thing to disagree on something a parent does that's maybe not your jam, but still in the best interest in the kid (no tv time, leashes, strict diet, extended breastfeeding, etc etc etc)
But depriving your kid of sleep AND not following doctors advice to at least get the kid evaluated AND considering the addition of another family member when the current family unit already isn't functioning well...
