Doe anyone's LO have infant acne? M seems to always haver a pimple on his cheek (red and often with a white headish part) . This morning he woke up with one on his eyebrow. I have to call the Dr to see when his one year check up is (I can't find it in my calendar, either I forgot to put it in, or I forgot to make the appointment) . I plan to ask about it at that appointment, but wondering if anyone else has experienced it?

H also initiated some sleepy sex this morning around 1am. I think. I'm laughing about it because I'm PRETTY sure it actually happened, but also a part of me thought it was a dream.
Also I woke up to missed calls all night from an unknown number and voicemails of American woman playing. She is fucking crazy. I'm calling the cops today.

tuscanlatte I would avoid the negative reviews until the "legal" stuff is done. I would hate for her to tack on something like emotional distress or loss of income. Even though you are 100% in the right.

This is what I was thinking. My mom suggested that if I see anybody that looks like they're interested in going there to private message them and just let them know that I would be willing to provide a reference over the phone and that's it.
tuscanlatte This lady is crazy and so unprofessional. I'd take the high road here. Don't stoop to her level. I would definitely consider contacting the police about the phone calls though.
@betweenthelines , I feel like H and I are going to be having a CTJ meeting soon too. We talk about TTC soon but I know that will add to the stress and with the tension we are having now, I can't imagine adding the stress of a second! Part of it is also I think I have lingering PPA that is somehow getting a little worse. I need to figure that out.
From experience, please talk to him before TFAS.. H and I were trying to work on us after DD, before we were going to TTC again, and when I unexpectedly found out I was KU the second time it did not put me in a good place mentally and emotionally. I was stressed about our relationship and then on top of that felt guilty that I wasn't as excited to be pregnant again as I felt I should've been because I was too worried about how it was going to make me and H worse. I eventually got excited about the pregnancy, but even still - our relationship is still not the same. Kids (especially young ones) add a ridiculous amount of stress on a relationship and I really feel like you need to be in the right place in your relationship with your H before you start adding more into the equation.
Also I woke up to missed calls all night from an unknown number and voicemails of American woman playing. She is fucking crazy. I'm calling the cops today.
@mrspanpan have you and your H been able to take any time to reconnect just the two of you? I know that helped me. Even just going to a movie helped us feel more like a couple and not just parents.
@mrspanpan, you know yourself best - but if you feel like you're spiraling out of control, definitely get a hold of it one way or another. I definitely understand the feeling.
Hang in there - it really does get easier. Before I got pregnant with DS things were starting to get easier with DD (she was 18 mo) which definitely started lifting some stress & strain off of mine and H's relationship. Then I got KU lol.
Toddler stage is a whole new level is craziness, but it's an easier craziness, at least IMO.

Yes - this too. Time with just the 2 of you is absolutely necessary. But if you can't get a sitter, then have a date night after J goes to bed. Play some board games over drinks, or watch a movie and just cuddle. It definitely helps.
abominationsnowman , I'm so looking forward to being done nursing!!!! We are only down to one night nurse now, but I just need my damn hormones to level off already!

I'm pretty sure my neighbor just called me out on our neighborhood FB page...
Couple of days ago, I ended up parking in front of our house because there were 2 vans in my driveway to get the AC fixed (we have reconfigured our driveway is we can easily move our 3 cars around) and I couldn't reach my normal parking space. We technically aren't supposed to park on the street but it is not enforced. I didn't move my car back after getting the kids to bed. I honestly forgot about it since I don't park on the street. Yesterday, I get home and there is an ambulance in the driveway of the across the street neighbor. Today, across the street neighbor posts this long rant about how the ambulance couldn't back in and how people need to respect the neighborhood. At first I talked myself down thinking he was referring to the two houses on either side because they always park on the street.
Had he approached me privately, I would have apologized. But a passive aggressive post on FB is going to get the silent treatment. I'm waiting to see if there are any more posts about it to see if I can confirm its about me.
Ugh skinandbones, I hate passive aggressive things like that.
Reminds me that this week a friend posted on Facebook about a ticket she got at my house. She came over on my birthday and we went out. I told her to park in front of my house since H was out and I didn't want to block him from getting back in. She texted me later that night that she got a ticket. That's never happened before and I was confused. Her court date was this week and that's when I figured out that she had parked on my lawn. Why the hell did she park on the lawn when I told her to park in the street? She sent me several texts about the $120 ticket that she can't afford and the trouble court was. Then she had a huge rant about how terrible the city I live in is and to avoid it. I kind of got offended, I love my city. No one had gotten a ticket before because no one has parked in my yard before.
I'm also probably pissed still because I found out after I had driven her to the city that she was drinking in my car. I'm so not okay with that.

tuscanlatte, your former daycare woman sounds disturbed. Definitely document and report.
@betweenthelines, from Starbucks?! I've been so tempted to try that. Maybe this weekend.
I just found out that the YMCA that I go to now has a childcare program starting at 2 years old that is less than half of what I pay now. Sign up to get on the list for 2017 is September 1 and apparently people start lining up at 4AM. I live down the block from the Y, so I am determined to camp out all night if I have to!

DH has his interview today for the new job. It started an hour ago and he said he would call me when it was over.
I'm thinking this is a really good sign.
I really, really hope he gets it. It's commission based but the base salary is about 4,000 less then he is currently making. I think it will be tight for a few months but not terrible until his commission kicks in. So hopefully more money. Not to mention we would have the same work schedule.
He's ok if he doesn't get it. But I'm crossing all my fingers and toes. I haven't told him how badly I want him to get a regular schedule.

skinandbones, your post reminded me of a street parking war I had with some neighbors when I was in grad school. We were in a city, albeit a somewhat residential neighborhood in a city; they had a driveway (so parking was not an issue for them), I didn't, and once/week I would park my car across the street, in front of their house (but not blocking their driveway) for street cleaning regulations. They did not think that anyone should be able to park in front of their house, because they owned their house, as opposed to rented. This is just not how it works in cities. The climax of the fight was when I, very maturely, created a "RESERVED PARKING FOR A**HOLES" Sign and placed it at the spot near their house.

Called the police, we made a file. I told them not to go talk to her yet, I think it would inflame the situation. He documented everything and I feel much better knowing that if she goes in there trying to complain about my new daycare they will know immediately that it is a revenge based complaint. The police officer agreed with me that the situation was ridiculous, and advised me to block her on my phone. He also said I was in no way obligated to ever meet with her husband. (she is saying she can't meet me ever only her husband can). He said my terms were reasonable and if she doesn't agree to them thats on her and I guess she won't get her money. My terms were that she meet me somewhere neutral, give me receipts and blanket and I will give her money.
Anyway I feel like a burden is lifted. If she pulls something fucked up then the police are already aware of this situation. I have validation that I do not have to conduct the transaction through her husband. The police also told me there is no way she'll sue over $150 and to just block her for good. I figured out how to block her on Facebook, and my daycare lady (the good one) has also blocked her, since she was threatening her too.

Good luck skinandbones! That would be great! Also I hate stupid Facebook vague call outs. It makes me want to park all the cars in all the wrong places!
ampaints, not cool. Also passive aggressive, and thats supposed to be a friend!
This interview is going well or he's had a car accident.
FX it's a long interview. That makes me nervous even thinking about my BF in a car accident. I may be mildly scared of putting bad vibes in the world by even thinking things sometimes. I know this is ridiculous tho.
