How do you guys handle electronics with your SO? Dh and I keep having the same stupid fight about him being on his phone. He says "well, you were just on the laptop, so I started looking at something!" But I feel like when I shut the laptop then I'm present. With his phone he's constantly checking and getting sucked into something. I just want to throw it out the window.
I have the same problem. I literally take his phone from him when I want his attention. He knows I am serious when I do that. He is a lot better than when we first got together. Our meet with the OB Coordinator to find out what to so or not he was on his phone the entire time. I even caught him on I in church once. I wish I had advice other than take it from him but that's all I have..he does the same with me if I am on mine too much. Best of luck.
stinybean thanks I hate it when that kinda thing happens
We're on a 2.5 hour road trip to H's family's house and my once a week pooper decided to poop after ten minutes in the car. She's also puked and had hiccups already.
This will be a long trip, and that's not even dealing with old-fashioned in-laws and smokers!

I feel for you with the smokers and old fashioned in-laws!! We will be dealing with his dad and step mom next weekend when we go to the beach with them!!
Make everyone wash their hands and change their shirts if they want to hold the baby!!
My first was due in October! He was evicted in November though. I liked having a summer baby better
Funny, I'm the opposite. LBB is October and I definitely preferred a fall baby. Getting out and active when it's 105 degrees is so much harder!
Although I know it's going to be difficult next year when all of LBB's friends start kindergarten without him since he's after the cutoff.
I hated being super pregnant in the heat of August/September! I also felt trapped inside from late Nov-March with the snow and cold in Chicago, for his newborn period when he was colicky and refluxy. I think sunshine and warmth would have helped us survive! Maybe I'd feel differently if DS1 was an easier baby...
I used to want a Christmas baby, but am so glad I ended up with a June due date May baby. My family has so many birthdays from Halloween to the end of January (most in the month of November) it's crazy and add holidays to the mix. I'm hoping baby #2 is an April/May baby. DH says no trying for #2 until we are all moved and settled into our own place. I originally wanted them back to back (not "Irish twin" back to back more like start trying for #2 when Cole was 6-9 months old) but since we still haven't found a new place and it looks like we may be stuck like this until the spring when people start relisting their houses.

carolyngrace I hint to DH when his phone is out inappropriately. Like, "Hey, I bet DS would love some daddy time." Then we move into the ,"What's so interesting on the internet, honey?" questions.
If that doesn't get the point across, I tell him to put his fucking phone away and interact with people/do something productive. Then he gets all grumpy. And now that fantasy football is looming, it's gonna get worse. So stay tuned for my rants, lol!

That makes total sense. Colic is so rough. Add reflux on top of that and you should be given a gold star for making it through spring!

wegrowsheep, by some miracle my DH lost interest in fantasy sports a few years after we got together. Seriously a miracle because he used to be on like 6 leagues.
I knew I couldn't be the only woman giving passive aggressive hints about the damn phone all the time!
I'm with you guys too w the phone. DH is always on Instagram or the Redfin real estate app. He is constantly looking at homes in our area for sale even though we aren't selling our house.
On Instagram he follows over 300 people so it's just non-stop. My friend has a joke word for it. MBS. Media breakdown syndrome.

My mil bought LO so many Carter's clothes, omg. I told her to get some 6 mos sleepers and she bought three and then a ton of the little sets. LO is barely in 3 mos so I think they'll be fine, but I already have a bunch of 6 mos sets...so I'm probably going to exchange some of the more lightweight ones for 9 mos.
Carters has some stinkin' adorable baby girl clothes right now! I love the florals.

Mom fail of the day for me... We let our lab come in this afternoon. He totally jumped up on the couch to snuggle with me but I'm afraid he may have stepped on LO with one paw. LO was asleep in my arms and it only woke him up he didn't start crying and no marks on him. So leds me to believe he didn't really but I'm just pretty sure he did. I'm confident LO is just fine but it does make me feel awful!

My pup steps on V all the time and it doesn't phase her unless she is cranky to begin with. I am trying to work on that with the pup. Frustrating!
I found out today that my friend's 12 yr old daughter has bone cancer. She just started 7th grade. I'm so heartbroken for them. They start chemo immediately. The good news it is only in her leg and they confirmed it is isolated and has not spread. I'm praying for them. Ugh the cards we are dealt in life.

Praying for your friend's family:( kids should be exempt from crap like that!

Um. H got up this morning and washed bottles, changed the baby, and is now feeding the baby. Normally he parks himself at the computer for a solid hour in the morning, maybe helping by making a bottle or changing a diaper. And I checked, the Internet is working fine. Now to figure out what he wants...

Oh how awful! I hope that the chemo can take care of it!

Oh goodness. Childhood cancer just shouldn't exist! Thinking of and praying for you all.

Can you have your H talk to mine?
I'm sure this was a fluke. He did ask me if I would bring J up to his work Friday around lunchtime, so that may be the reason...idk.
