I'm cranky and stressed (and know the hormones are exacerbating it, damn it all). This weekend is all about the ILs and the bachelor. I am going to be worried all weekend because MIL took DS1 a few hours ago for the first time ever without me or DH. I have said all along I didn't want him going until after nap today because the car ride wouldn't be long enough and he will be a guaranteed terror without a good nap. I put my foot down about it last weekend with her and was very clear abut it. What does she do? Call DH last night while I am getting the kids to bed and manipulates him into agreeing with her that she should come get DS1 before nap today. Her only reason is avoiding rush hour. So, thanks for putting your convenience ahead of my kid's well-being, that am really makes me comfortable with you having him all weekend. And WTF DH. He tells me this in front of his brother who is staying with us so I can't go off on him the way I would have alone. (I did later.) A big part of me wishes I had held my ground or just never agreed to this. DS1 is going to be off the walls and it sucks for everyone, him included. I did tell MIL outright today that I wasn't happy about this arrangement and she will have to deal with the repercussions. I am so over sugarcoating things to make other people feel better and hiding how I really feel about it.
Sunday they all descend on me at my house for brunch. No offers of "can I bring something?" or better yet "we'll take you out for brunch, you're busy with a 2-3 week old." Nope. All on me. Good thing I froze stuff before DS2 was born in anticipation. Just grrr. I think I'm going to take DS2 for some retail therapy tonight. I need it.
