1. I don't want to get out of bed. 2. I vaguely remember SO coming in the room to get his gun lastnight, then going to sleep in the living room for some reason. I want to ask him why, but he's still sleeping. 3. I really want sushi
Uhhh what the fuck?
My thoughts exactly... He doesn't ever do that unless he's worried about something, so it makes me wonder wth happened lastnight... I mean he always keeps his gun accessible at night, but never sleeps with it beside him like he did lastnight...

yeah, I kind of need to know why your husband came in for his gun too...
What a clusterfuck of a morning. Drank my glucose drink. Traffic all over Charlotte heading to uptown. I was luckily able to go to a different office at the last minute to do my blood draw or else have to drink it again.
The girl in the lab could not find the vein in my arm so she had to do it in my hand.
Left my purse at home that has my breakfast. Waiting for DH at the MFM office. He is stuck in traffic too.

So you have a toddler at home and your DH slept on the couch with a gun next to him in the living room? Seriously? And your only concern is what HE was concerned about?
A question, ladies: DH's mother died unexpectedly last year on Valentine's Day. While DH is very excited to spend the evening with me (dinner, etc) for Valentine's, he is really sad this week as the day gets closer. Should I give DH a card or do something special for him to show him I care? Not really sure what to do except comfort him, but I didn't know if a card or something else would also be helpful. I am open to any ideas.
I'm so sorry, I know that must be hard! I would def get him a little something. Deaths around holidays are so hard to deal with.
@ajzmommy - Thank you. I will maybe make him a nice card. He loves homemade stuff, and his mother was a watercolor artist. I hate seeing him so sad.
I've been a sucky May probie lately. Right when we switched over I was doing a good job staying active, but then I realized I wasn't on my April 12 board as much I wanted. I apparently suck at balancing acts because now I've been MIA from here.
And it seemed every time I'd go to check in here it's just a giant randoms thread, a thread to "up your post count"*, a thread with a question that already been answered by a million other people (making me feel no need to post), and a GTKY thread. So I would just do drive by GTKY posts and leave. :/
*what is up with the "up your post count" threads? How about you just post as usual and let your number of posts come from you posting meaningful stuff? No one cares what "status" you have next to your screen name. Maybe this is my early UO...?
Nah. Just jealous and lazy, see my other responses above. Haha.

@sastahlman - Too many people (including young children), are killed from accidental gun shootings in their homes way too many times. If your DH was in that much of a sleepy trance, for him to sleep beside his gun is very dangerous. What if he rolled on top of it and it went off? Or-- what if your child woke and grabbed it from sleeping daddy and killed themselves or someone else? It happens so much, and I'm just looking out for you in hopes that you can put that gun up somewhere safe and UNLOADED. I don't want anything bad happening to any of your family members.

Ok, that does sound bad, but I promise where he had it is in no way accessible to her. We are very careful with it because we don't want accidents to happen. I didn't mean to make it sound like it was just laying around where she could reach it. That would be very irresponsible, and I should have worded that better. SO was in the military for almost five years, and is very smart about gun safety, and ensuring that while we have it for protection, our children will never find it, or be able to access it.

Well you said he slept in the living room which I assume means on the couch, and you also said he slept with it beside him. So unless there's a safe in your living room, sounds pretty irresponsible to me.

He put it in his small safe in the living room close to him. The key is up where she cannot reach it. And he said that it wasn't loaded, he just wanted it close to him for whatever reason. I swear, we do not ever leave guns laying around for DD to find, nor would either of us do something to endanger our child. Again, I should have explained a little better. That being said, I understand all the concern, and will be asking him to keep the safe in the closet on the highest shelf where we agreed to keep it.

Whoa whoa whoa he just has a gun easily accessible with a toddler in the house?? That shit needs to be locked up and he shouldn't just be sleeping with it
Just done putting one load of laundry away and the dryer goes off... I'm considering nudism for my family.
My DH constantly asks me if we can invest in "paper clothes". Haha. He HATES laundry and mind you, I actually do the laundry and lay it out for him so it doesn't get wrinkled... he just has to put his clothes up. A whole 5 minutes of his time and he complains about it so much, lol.

I still don't know how HE goes through so many clothes a week! DD gets me gross with stuff so I wear yoga or pj pants at home and only put on slacks or jeans to leave the house. She goes through 2-3 (including pjs) outfits a day. He sleeps in underwear and works in jeans and casual shirts. Why do I have SO MUCH FRICKING LAUNDRY EVERY WEEK?!?!

This is about the dumbest thing he could do. Then again common sense isn't very common any more. SMH
Ok, you know what, this is ridiculous. 1. I understand why everyone jumped on what I said. I should have worded my original post better, and not made it sound like the gun was just laying around where my daughter could get to it. 2. I have explained that where he put the gun is in no way accessible to my daughter, and when I say that, I mean it. Neither of us would ever do anything to endanger our child. 3. SO and I both understand the importance of gun safety, and know what can happen when you are not responsible and do not take preventative measures to keep children away from guns. 4. I'm not going to get into a fight over this because I respect all of the women on this board, and am not going to cause drama. 5. I understand that I'm going to be flamed for all of this, but seriously, when I say there is no way that DD could access the gun, I mean there is no way DD could access the gun. 6. I will tell SO that the gun needs to stay in the place that we designated for it, and that it is not to leave that place unless he is taking it to the shooting range, or it is needed for protection.
I just want to clarify, one of my old squad leaders shot himself in the dick for being lenient with an M9. It was on safe when he put it in his holster, but he didn't clear it, so when he sat down, BAM. He was in the military for 16 years. I just want everyone to know! Just because you're in/have been in the military, doesn't give you automatic constant gun safety awareness. Things happen.
