@cara5565 - I have spoken to him about it numerous times. Once in a while he will get offended becuase it's him mom, the other few times he'll agree with me and things will change for a little while, but the majority of the time, he doesn't see a problem. He thinks that it's no big deal and that he wouldn't see a problem with my family doing the same. I keep telling him my family has never done that, but he doesn't get the point that I'm trying to make.
It's just a hassel to deal with his mom and he doesn't see that. Plus, she'll start to cry and complain that she never sees her grandson and it's not fair my family gets see him more (My family doesn't; she just assumes they do).

So only 2 wake ups last night, and babyG was still sleeping at 815am. DH was like, "of all the days that you should have off from work so you could have slept in too..."
Chances he'll sleep so well and so late tomorrow? <10% in my book!
And I want to leave DH with LO and DSD tomorrow and take my sister to the movies (okay, to see GoT in IMAX, but still)... waiting to hear if she's interested in it at all - if not, there's no point in talking to DH about it... Though he leaves LO and DSD with me all.the.time.... (obv not when I'm at work but as soon as I'm home it's default parent time!)

On an unrelated note, I entered A in a cute kid facebook contest through our local DS chapter. They had one in the fall, and I almost didn't want to do this one, but I decided to anyway. There's a lady with a kid about a year older than A who has a facebook fan page for her son (much like I do) but she has like 15K fans. So she posted it there, and her kid won the facebook contest by like 10k likes. She obliterated everyone else.
Part of me is raw about that. I know she didn't cheat, hell, she just used her resources to the best of her ability... and in the world of facebook likes, that's what you've got to do. It just sucks that her facebook network cannot be rivaled.
FRT A got almost 300 likes, which I thought was pretty incredible. I quit promoting it when her kid was about 3K likes ahead of us though, I knew it was a lost cause at that point.
HatTrick - Have you talked to her directly or is that something you'd be uncomfortable doing?
I have spoken to her directly, but it usually ends up with her in tears saying that she just loves her family so much. It doesn't get me anywhere and then my SO thinks that I'm being mean for even talking to her about it.

I just watched a report on the Brian Williams show (I mean, come on nbc, you're fooling nobody by calling it nightly news ) about the number of measles cases rising in Arizona just as thousands arrive for the super bowl. Now I'm twitchy.

I lovetitted because Brian Williams. Not because measles.
Hey guys!! I went rogue today and disappeared. Crazy (but good) day at work this afternoon.
We had a great doctor's appointment for W today! Weight is good, development is good, and she got her MMR shot. The only semi negative part is that our pedi is very gently (but consistently) pushing for us to stop cosleeping. We've made progress in that W spends the first half of the night in her crib before coming in with us. But our pedi straight up told us it's okay to just let her scream. She's not judgmental, but reminded us that it's going to become harder and harder to break the habit the longer we let it keep happening.
I have mixed feelings on this. But overall, it was a good appointment.
I skipped right up to Page 12 on here...did I miss anything? shellbell, did you ice skate? Did you wish you had heeded tLex's advice about wool socks? @elf828 did you hear from the job?
I looks like LOs first tooth is finally poking through his gums. I have been blaming sleepless nights on teething for 6 months, but maybe his crankiness the last few days WAS actually teething.
Oh crap @elf828 I just saw your post. I'm so sorry. FWIW, I think they're idiots for not grabbing you up the minute they met you. I'm glad you get to talk to your coach this weekend, hopefully she'll have some great advice and offer some great support. ((hugs))

I'm sorry to hear your job news @elf828. Hopefully once you get things figured out with your coach, you can pursue your dream job!
My DH put LO's crib mattress on the floor and has blankets set up next to it to give me a night to myself in bed. I hope I'll be able to sleep. DH has been on 3rd shift and LO has been waking up 7+ times per night. I need some decent rest.
codypup We normally cosleep because it was what was easiest. We tried crib training but I wasn't strong enough to keep it up and my DH was never home at night to help. We're attempting to put the mattress on his floor like paulheath does and hoping it helps some.
codypup - My LO sounds very similar to W in that he spends the first part of the night in his crib then the rest in our bed. He usually drinks 1 to 2 bottles after he moves over. I'm super conflicted about sleep training. If you don't mind, can you keep me (us?) posted on what you decide to do? I'd love to know how it works out for someone in a similar position.
My SIL is driving me a little crazy. She asked if I could help my niece with a school project (they have to build a model of either a castle or cathedral) and I said sure. She's telling me she's like for my niece to be able to use it (for Lego mini figs or dolls or whatever) after she gets it back from school, so do we think we could work something out. I say "Sure, maybe. When's the deadline?" February 13th. Well that's not that much time. Oh, and it also has to function as a valentine card holder while its at school. Alright, whatever, I'll figure something out with my niece and we'll make it awesome.
So I text SIL today. I printed off some instructions for a paper 3D model that we had found on Pinterest. "Great!" She says. I tell her I'm thinking of bringing the stuff over on Sunday while we're there for the game, so niece and I can at least look through it (she's not going to care about the game.) SIL says that they'll be too busy entertaining and watching the game. Okay. What about tomorrow on Saturday? Can you guys come over for a little bit? Well, we're going to be too busy cleaning the house for the game on Sunday. "Why don't you just bring it on Sunday then?"
Hair ripping out emoji. I understand she's busy, but so am I. I don't want to wait until the last minute to get started on it, and I have kids' birthday parties to get ready for before the project deadline too.
I start looking at the packet tonight, and realize the base is going to be smaller than the minimum requirement for the project guidelines. Okay. I text SIL about it, and suggest we go to a Kinkos or something to blow up the size and get it printed on cardstock while we're at it. "Okay, let me know how much I owe you."
