This morning went about as well as one might expect when a toddler was up til 10:30 then had to be up at 5:45. Thanks for that H! Also it was super helpful when you sat on the couch watching tv while I struggled to get the gator-rolling 2 year old diapered and dressed for 15 minutes. I really love when I don't have time to make breakfast for myself.
linny12, you are a better woman than me. I would have through the Florida thing in his face right then. Something like, "why would you care if we went to Florida, it's not like you are helping me with her right now!"

Oh we're currently still in a fight about it. He refuses to let us go, stating "he hates sleeping alone and would miss W" as his reasoning and that we'd be far away if anything were to happen with either of us or the baby. This wasn't a concern when he planned his fishing trip last month (to Florida). Apparently it's somehow different.
I hate that I feel like I have a dad rather than a husband. He's more strict than my actual father ever was, and also, I'm almost 30. Pretty sure I should be able to make decisions for myself.

I was at the doctor last night with Eli for 1.5 hours waiting. He had a sinus infection that needed meds, but the doctor was backed up. Not fun being in a super hot room with a busy toddler, and standing in heels and work clothes.

linny12 - NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. I would be putting a smack down on that. Did you ask him for help? Or did he just see you struggle and ignored you?
I didn't ask for help because it's usually met with sass and I am already short on patience with him right now and trying to keep our interactions to a minimum. Plus if I ask for help it usually gets thrown in my face that I "don't do anything," so yeah.
This isn't unusual. On the days I WFH he'll still wake me up to pack lunches and get W ready while he watches the news and eats breakfast.
I know I should be grateful that 21 months in, he's starting to help with bedtime a few times a week, but don't keep a toddler up that late.
I found the stroller I've been drooling over on ebay for like $350. New they're $530. I think I'm going to go for it! I've never bought anything off ebay before, so I'm nervous. I'll just have to buy the second seat kit and we'll be all set for the two girls. I'm going to go to BBB on my lunch and play with it, just to be sure.
W fell in love with her stroller on vacation. She'd wake up and hold my face and say "stroll." and insisted on sitting in it whenever she wasn't on the move- like on the day it rained so we sat around watching Peppa Pig all morning.

linny12 - Wow. I feel like your DH doesn't understand your worth. He could not live without you, and certainly couldn't care for a toddler without you. He really needs to wake up and get his act together.

I was trying to watch "This is Us" last night (I watch on hulu), and have been trying to watch this episode for two days, but DH talked the whole time. This is why I binge watch them on my WFH days...
