Well I should be driving back from Kansas right now, but instead we came back yesterday afternoon. I've never had a good relationship with my mother, mainly because I'm nothing like her and she can't stand it. However, she crossed the line yesterday and I don't think I want her around my kids ever again. I'll give you all the short version because my emotions can't handle the long one and it's long. Basically, I told my mom that my 3.5 year old needed to take a nap or he'd be a nightmare later. She and my sister flipped out telling me I'm a horrible mom and my kids are going to have serious problems because I'm so mean to them. They feel sorry for my children and I don't deserve them. They had babysat Alex for 3 hours while I took M to a dinosaur event, and they said he didn't cry the whole time I was gone but all he does when I'm around is cry because he hates me. Needless to say, my sister is 21 and still lives at home because she and my mom are two peas in a pod and my mom pays for EVERYTHING for her. So I shoved everything in bags as fast as I could and left before I fell apart. Now I have no idea what to do. I know I want nothing to do with my sister again, ever. Sorry to be a debbie downer. Yesterday was one of the hardest days, emotionally, I've ever had.

Should be a good day. Had to make another trip to Denver this morning, but DS slept most of the way, and I get to go to my absolute favorite coffee shop that has life-changing chocolate chip cookies. I have to work this afternoon, but I have a renewed sense of purpose, so I'm looking forward to it.
Uhh.. you must share the name of said amazing cookie makers!!

I want to punch your mom and sister for you. What horrible things to say. Hugs.

That's awful. I'm so sorry you had to hear that. When FIL passed away, some of DH's family said some really horrible things to him. Even when you know it's not true, it's incredibly hurtful to have people you love and care about say things that are so awful. It makes you question everything. Hugs.

You need some stat! I get them at St. Marks coffee shop on 17th Ave. & Race street.
Today is my last summer nanny day. Tomorrow is my last "summer stay at home mommy" day and Wednesday is the staff of thee days of training for my new teaching position (kiddos start Monday)
Exciting! Is this the first time you'll be going back after LO? Or have you only been off during the summer?
I've only been off during the summer. I have mixed feelings, I'm excited for a new opportunity (and health insurance since DH's company doesn't offer it) but sad to leave LO! I've been so spoiled being home with him for two plus months!

I'm so sorry they said those awful things to you. That sounds incredibly painful to hear...especially from people who are supposed to be supportive of you. Take a deep breath, drink some wine, call your H or BFF and vent about this. Hugs, girl.

Good luck with the transition back to work. I found it really, really hard for a month and now I really enjoy the balance of work and mom time.

Hopefully they will give you a raise you deserve. Good job standing up for yourself! Pretty annoying they forgot though. You should ask them to back pay you for it!
I like it! I may do that
You really should ask them to make up for it. This happened to DH too and he is currently fighting for a bonus to make up for his raise being 6 months late. Total BS, you deserve to be compensated.

I'm sorry you're going through that. It's always hard to feel that way but even worse, I feel, when it's family.

WTAF?? That is truly awful. I'm so sorry that your mom and sister are being so harsh, judgmental and unreasonable. Just wow. Parenting your children, following a schedule and having rules does not make you mean. And saying that your kid hates you? Seriously?? What a tremendously messed up thing to say to you. Hugs lady. I'm glad you got your kids out of there early.

I've only been off during the summer. I have mixed feelings, I'm excited for a new opportunity (and health insurance since DH's company doesn't offer it) but sad to leave LO! I've been so spoiled being home with him for two plus months!
I hear ya. I'm going back to full time in October but I've been home with DD since she was born so it's going to be a strange transition. I'm tentatively excited but also dreading it.
Hope everything goes smoothly for you. And also, yay for health insurance!

That's great you got to spend so much time with your DD! I hope you have a smooth transition back too!
We just got back from our fishing trip and it was really fun. DD wasn't wild about being on a boat for 6 hours but she still did really well. I caught 3 fish but they were all too small to keep. Luckily between DH, BIL and SIL we came back with 5 decent sized grouper fish. The boys are grilling them up for dinner tonight, I'm really looking forward to it

Second this. I'm so sorry your family said those hurtful things.
Hi I'm here - I was being lazy and love titting vs typing
I'm getting overwhelmed by the move. We move in 2 weeks and were going to pay the movers to pack for us. But the estimate was so high (I almost had a meltdown when I saw the estimate) that we can't justify paying them to pack us. I got 2 quotes but had it in my mind we would go with this company since 2 friends had really good experiences. Now I'm mad at myself for not getting more quotes.
so trying to pack 10 yrs of stuff with 2 full time jobs and 2 little kids. My husband is doing most of it at this point.
our toddler keeps asking questions so we have been explaining the move a ton to him. He is like a little adult - we can ask questions and get full answers from him it's really cute.
baby is 10 months today!! He is so adorable...babbling a ton and trying so hard to walk. He's getting separation anxiety from me and I'm not loving it at all!!
pinkie solidarity. We're closing on our house in 2.5 weeks and we have not packed anything. It's so overwhelming! I'm planning to have my mom or SIL watch DS so I can focus on packing over the weekend

Wow, that went super fast, no wonder you're overwhelmed. So happy and excited for you though!
