MBF 5/18

[Leapinglizards]

Let the bitching commence

[Leapinglizards]

My whole body hurts for no flipping reason. I know PT is going to kick my butt tonight.

And I gained back 3 lbs over the weekend. I am so tired of being big and my self esteem being in the gutter.

[mary1217]

Baby why do you not nap for me? I don't understand. You nap great at daycare but not for me. I've tried everything. I'm at a loss.

MBF about my body. No ovulation last month means that my period coming this weekend was a COMPLETE surprise. Temping to avoid getting pregnant right now and also so I can know when to expect my period really only works when I actually ovulate.

MBF 1- I hate mosquitoes. What purpose do they serve? What good do they do? DS was attacked at night (in our house) and woke up with welts from the bites. I now have to deal with a bite that is located not only on my bum, but on my pantyline.

MBF 2- SIL needs to back the f up with her breastfeeding comments. I will breastfeed until he is one, and that doesn't make me "weird". Also, do not suggest that I just give him my freezer stash and be done with the whole thing. While I'm at this "f" you MIL for telling SIL he doesn't want a bottle, and making her feel justified with her advice.

MBF 3- "F" you teeth. You suck. That is all

That sucks- you're sil sounds like an ass, good for you for being able to breastfeed so long..she needs to back off. Hope your DS mosquito bites don't bug him too much, poor baby!

I ordered a new carseat for our 4.5 year old to use while at my in laws. It is a high back harnessed booster seat. My in laws went to pick up him last week and DH's ex flipped out at them, saying he couldn't use that seat because it was seat belted in, rather than latched in. So she made them take her seat for the weekend.

The thing is, latch maxes out at 65 lbs. DS is 45 lbs and her seat is 24 lbs. So it cant be attached via latch. I SO SO SO SOOO want to text her to bitch and say he cant use latch, just to prove a point. This would start a war between us. DH did suggest she look over latch requirements to her. But I still think she didnt get it. The bottom line is DS's safety, which DH pointed out to her.

Sometimes I just want to pick a fight to pick a fight. She has been a super bitch ever since the boys told her we are expecting # 2.

Why won't my child sleep anymore? She makes it till about 2:30 and then is done for the night. The only way I'll get her to sleep is to bring her to bed with me. I don't want her in my bed...

Did your inlaws still use the seat you got once they got home for the weekend?  

[isolemnlyswear]

F U neighbor. Your tree removal woke up C from her nap. I just need her to freaking sleep! Ahhh!!

No, they used the ex's seat, and then returned the seat I bought before we got there. The Ex has no problem being mean to my inlaws and they are intimidated by her. They will not stand up to her. Even to say using a seat belt is just as safe as the latch system, just more inconvenient.

Our trip sucked. I'm pissed we went and spent the money on shitty weekend when we could have done something else and had fun. My friend and her husband are not kid friendly, they left weed on the coffee table multiple times, lighters, ashtrays an open pocket knife. Really?! Wtf. We left a day early and are going to the mall to do some retail therapy. I also think they have a drinking problem. we went to a children's museum and they left us to find a bar, when we would drink coffee in the morning they would drink beer. Also they drink PBR, if you can't afford good beer don't drink.

[anotherdreamer]

Mbf 1. DH's work still hasn't said anything about his fate. They are importing everything to their new system though, so it doesn't look good. His boss has a meeting with them at the end of the month... so maybe they'll be there that long? Seriously, just tell us what's going on -_-

2. Babies, why you climb everything?

3. Not enough time or arms to get things done here.

That's awful. I would have been out of there pretty fast, too.

Id be pissed! Did they not see anything wrong in what they were doing?? 

[mamanorris]

No! They kept offering us beers and to smoke weed in front of the kids. Ummmmm no thanks. I do enjoy some weed but only after the kids are in bed and only one of us smokes at a time so if something ever happened one of us is sober.

[Liv]

that sucks, mamanorris! I'd be so ticked off with them!

I'm sorry your trip sucked. It's kind of crappy of your friends to not be more accommodating of your kids.

DCP had a death in the family (her dad's GF that has been with him forever). The service is tomorrow, about 7 hours away from where we live. DCP is going to the services (totally ok), and originally planned to leave tonight, and come back tomorrow night, so we'd only be without care for a day, which H can stay home to cover.

She called this morning to ask if she could stay until Wednesday.

We can't take another day off, so aside from asking a couple of friends to watch her for the day, the answer is a big fat no!

If we had more than a day of notice, we might have been able to do something about it, but I feel bad telling her no, even though it's her job to be there!

[liziz]

Also, I feel compelled to post this whenever we talk about it. kellymom.com/bf/can-i-breastfeed/lifestyle/marijuana/

[anotherdreamer]

Just an update on MBF1- one of the owners is coming up next Wednesday to talk with them in person. Will probably be let go then.

[dawnfire]

anotherdreamer, that sucks. They need to stop farting around and just let him know something. I hope he's able to get some good bites for his resume!

MBF #1: My boss is on vacation, so I'm in charge of the building. I have the late shift today, so at 9 am this morning one of my employees texted me that the building had a natural gas odor. I told her to call our Facilities so she did. (Meanwhile I was busy calling the pedi for little one.) Facilities didn't show till 2 hours later (when I had gotten there) and they couldn't smell anything. The place reeked! I was worried the building would blow up, so we had our monday staff meeting outside in the heat and humidity. The facilities guys wouldn't call the gas company either like I asked, they had to go through the plumber. WTF?

MBF #2: I don't know how I'm going to get everything done that I need to have done before I go on vacation. Customers and my staff are being entirely too needy.

[jnnfrrose6]

MBF #2 I haven't been able to get online all day because I spent it reconciling a bill. It's the 15th bill for this job (billed monthly). I took it over maybe 4 months ago. The way the person doing it before me reconciled it was basically a big circle, so of course it looked correct. I broke it down to the very basics and it looks like it's off by 20 hours for a total of $750. $750 on a $10 mil job and I've got to find it. 6 solid hours of looking and I still can't find the error.

[anotherdreamer]

dawnfire, Yeah that is what's annoying me most. If they're going to let him go, just man up and give us a timeline. Is it next week? The week after? Next month? All we know is that they're abandoning his software and transitioning over to a third party. C'mon already Why wouldn't they call the gas company?!

[mamanorris]

anotherdreamer, has he heard anything from his interviews? I can't imagine how stressful it is to be in that kind of limbo.

[mamanorris]

We went to Billy Beez and the mall and had such a great day. Billy Beez was having their sensory friendly day, so it was nice and slow. I'm so proud of my little Jack. We saw a nonverbal autistic boy around 12 that was having a hard time and Jack went over and tried to make friends. I love that he has a heart of gold and wants everyone to be his friend. He also is crazy and was introducing himself as Chewbacca. Lol

[anotherdreamer]

mamanorris how sweet! Glad you had a good day after all. DH is just waiting to hear back, they said they would contact him sometime this week.
