Cheers for daycare mrsrek10! I love seeing all you updates on FB. It does get easier. Yesterday I even had the epiphany that maybe a third wouldn't scare me that much! Only took 13 months to get there...haha.

Ha! We had the shop permanently closed during my csection. 2 is enough for us!
jfresh, how have you been lately? I've seen you pop up here and there for comments and support, but I haven't heard a lot from you lately? Are you and O still staying with your parents? How are things/did things go down with your H?
It sounds like O has made some really great progress with his therapy and the language delays he was having which is great!
Hugs jfresh. I've been there done that with my ex h. If you ever need to talk. He was getting married to his wife and was texting me the week of. Classy. You and Oliver sound like you are doing great. How is rotating huswholds with him going?
Thanks for the update jfresh, I'm sorry it's been so shitty. I can't understand the rationale behind what he's got going on... Even if you were on a break, you're married! You're not dating, your married! It's totally different. Anyway, as much as that sucks, it sounds like you're dealing with it pretty well.
I'm so happy to hear O is doing well and seems to be thriving right now. I love seeing the occasional photo of him on FB.
jfresh - I'm sorry to hear you've been having to deal with all that. You definitely don't need your ex or all the drama he is creating. It sounds like even with all that going on, you and Oliver are doing well. <<Hugs>>

irish1213 she 's beautiful. I am glad you have a great support system around you. Don't ever feel like a drive by. It is hard for all of us to keep up with the board at times.
jfresh what an ass. I hope you fi d something better and more positive for you and Oliver. You deserve better than that.

tribute17 how did the move go? Does your H like his new job? are you adjusting to the new routine? (Sorry if you hashed this out already. I have been MIA the last few weeks because of work and kids.)

mrsrek10 there 's no shane in the daycare game. It is a savior in the beginning. It gives the older siblings some activity and interaction with friends while you recovery.

jfresh, I'm sorry for all you've gone thru. You are a class act. It's gotta be hard not to get wrapped up and carried away in all the drama of it all, but you show just how amazing you are by holding your head high above it and just plugging away at it. Oliver will appreciate at that someday. You'll find the right guy some day, probably when you least expect it. And he will treat you like you deserve. Post anytime, you are missed. Oliver is adorable as always, miss his adorableness over here too!

jfresh, damn girl. You absolutely don't deserve that crap in your life. I'm so glad you're moving on and have your parents to support you and Oliver during this crazy time. Just remember we're always here for you too!
tribute17 how did the move go? Does your H like his new job? are you adjusting to the new routine? (Sorry if you hashed this out already. I have been MIA the last few weeks because of work and kids.)
We are doing really well out here. It is definitely an adjustment going from working full time as a teacher and basically a single Mom for two months to a stay at home mom in a new city. I always feel like there is something I should be doing and there is. It is just different. H really likes his job and just working again. This lab is so different than his previous one. His old PI was a jerk and about to retire and just a dick in general. H had to fight all of the time for people to understand that he knew what he was talking about. He is the expert here. There are two grad students and about 20 undergrads in the lab and they ask him all of the time for help. He told me one night that it is finally nice to be respected and be able to help people that truly want to learn from him. He is also really being challenged because they basically gave him all of the projects that no one else could get to work. This is like his ideal job if only it paid anything. We were stuck though so it's nice to be moving forward a little. I don't handle change all that well so I've been proud of how I'm doing. That may sound weird but it is intimidating to be on your own with two kids and in a new place. I almost had a breakdown at the grocery store because I couldn't find anything. But I just said to myself, buck up tribute you are an adult you can do this. I know it sounds silly but for some reason that got to me. I also took the kids down to the old town library for storytime. It's like any downtown college town so not easy parking and busy. But we did well. I guess it is the little things that count right.
That got long sorry. Anyway, doing well. Trying not to allow myself to turn into a hobbit.

tribute17 i am so glad your H loves the new job. It sounds like a really good fit for him. All of his hard work has paid off. It is a big adjustment to move so I understand how overwhelmed you feel. I hate change too and am a creature of habit. You will find your groove in the new city and as a SAHM.

jfresh I also think of you often. I love to see how happy Oliver seems! And your ex is a douche. You are amazing and you don't mess around when "on a break" from your WIFE! Did you let gf know you are his wife still?! You deserve so so much better!
tribute17, sounds like you're doing great. Moving to a strange city is never easy, but it's even more difficult with a newborn and a little kiddo. Heck I moved back home with a toddler and even though it's 90% familiar it was strange at the same time and there were times I didn't want to do anything, or times I wanted to cry or scream at not finding what I needed.... Granted I was pregnant, haha.
Either way, I'm glad you're H is enjoying the new job. I wish it would have paid more, for you all, but having him work and do something he can apply his degree towards must be great!

jfresh I'm so sorry you are having to deal with all that! Definitely not worth your time. I'm hoping things go smoothly for you during this next phase.
