DH and I went out last night to two (!) events, and dinner. A poetry reading then burritos then a concert. Saw a bunch of friends. It was fun. I didn't go to bed until two. DD woke up at 6ish. But she was kind enough to eat and then sleep again until shortly after 9. Thank you DD!
Nope. We've been in our house for a year and a half, and most of my shelves aren't even lined.
Oh crap, am I supposed to line my shelves?!
Oh my gosh, this reminds me of the time I came home right after we bought our house and mil was in the kitchen lining our shelves. WTF lady.
She's pretty much always been overly involved and acts like we can't handle anything ourselves in the name of "helping". And she wonders why I never asked her to come over while I was on mat leave.

It's actually awesome that she lined your shelves -- I hated doing it and gave up after like 4 cabinets. Free labour, take it! Does she want to come over and finish the job for me?

I think a big part of the annoyance for me is that she just did it without asking. And chose the liners.

seamonster sorry you have to work on vacation hollydfromtn yikes, hope S remembers that sleep is good soon. ChickenOnSunday $22 seems ridiculous for a kid! And no I haven't wiped down my kitchen cabinets in the 3.5 years we've lived here. I should; it'd be easy enough since I lined the shelves. cloe111479 the little town SIL lives in is having a festival this weekend, of course when LSU has the stupid early game. Unsure what we're doing. taberbtb those leap alarms are the most ominous notifications PikoPiko hope you can convince your boss to do the international travel if that's what you want

My husband and I got dumped by another couple we thought were really good friends. Worst part is that she went about it in the most immature way possible. We're both just kind of over here like, WTF? Is it wine o'clock yet?

I too am nosy, and it always is wine o'clock somewhere.
coming to 3pm soon. I wrote like 5 emails today. I think it's time I call it a hard day at work and go pick up DS. I'm making a chicken soup/puree for him this weekend. Here comes even worse smelling poop?

I'm nosy, what happened? That stinks though.
It's kind of a long story.
Basically she had a son right before me and we both got together a lot so the boys could play. She's a smart girl, but she tends to be over anxious and cautious to the point that she's driving herself to a nervous breakdown.
She's done a ton of research into raising kids and does have a background as a Nanny and like all of us, she's convinced her way is the best way, which is fine, but she's very in your face about it to the point that discussions about our kids were almost a competition.
Any time I said something I was doing with DS that didn't follow her way, she would get very defensive and tell me about the research she's done and why experts recommend this way and blah blah blah. She even did it with baby products. I couldn't buy freezer trays for baby food without her comments. It really got exhausting.
And then her kid could just be mean. He sat on my son's head, nearly suffocating him and bit him. I didn't get an apology, just a "boys will be boys," which is the biggest bull shit excuse for any behavior ever. But whatever, my husband and I moved on.
Her husband has been out of town for work recently and we had her over two weekends in a row so she wasn't alone with her kid and had her over Tuesday for dinner in a way to take some responsibility off of her. We've also offered to help pick her son up from daycare on nights she's had to work late. Then on Saturday when DS's fever spiked and I was on the phone with the nurse trying to figure out if I should take him to the ER, I gave the nurse his weight (19 pounds) and she immediately commented on how fat he was.
So DH and I were a little pissed and decided to put some distance there. Then I get a text from her about how I'm not supportive enough of her and her family, I'm not interested enough in their lives, I'm so rude, basically all this crap, and that they need distance. I told her that I was sorry to hear that but if that's how she felt, then fine. Then she u friends me on Facebook and limit profiles my husband.
So we're both over here like, WTF just happened? I get needing distance, but I don't get all the drama that had to come with it. And she did it all via text, which just shocked me because as friends, she could have at least picked up a phone and called. So I'm annoyed but I'm just gonna let it go and act like the bigger person.
I am SOOOOO Bored at work today. It's the family law CLE thing.. so there are like 5 attorneys in the entire office. It is so quiet. I am praying we close early. It is such a nice day too. I wish i could have stayed home and maybe gone to the zoo or something with DD. Oh well...
No real plans this weekend. LSU game is away so DH Is home, but we have no plan other than watch the game so early on Saturday right lilyelayne,.. and then go to my moms on sunday.
this is going to sound creepy, but I was at the table next to you at company burger today. I was waiting for my food as you were leaving. I didn't want to say "hey, cloenumbers, Cornball here" so I just sat awkwardly. Hi!
Lol! Really?! you should have! I wouldn't have thought it was crazy! And company burger was sooo good!

My kid is so weird-we are in the car driving 3 hrs to my parents house and its past bedtime-he literally just spent the last 20 min trying to suck on his toe then would rub his head against the carseat like he wanted to go to sleep then repeat until he finally fell asleep. Seriously such a weirdo

kaydee0402 ugh. I know friend break ups hurt, & it sounds like y'all spent a lot of time together so her absence will be noticeable, but I bet pretty soon you realize you're better off not wasting energy on her. Also wtf calling your baby fat?!
kaydee0402,Better off without her. I'm offended for you re: baby being fat comments, esp while you're dealing with his illness. She needs to acquire a filter or 2.
kaydee0402, for someone who has done so much research she didn't handle poor behaviour very well. I'm surprised she could have the nerve to say that you don't support her and her family...two weekends, day care pick ups, dinner! Seriously, that's pretty generous.
Honestly I don't think I would have held back saying that space was probably good since you are having a hard time with her know it all attitude or something like that
So I just got home from being at my mom's all day long. Without a diaper bag because my husband and I are awesome at parenting. He left for work with it in his car and I didn't realize. So my son has a tea towel for a diaper as of the moment. Also, my mom's house is so very not baby proof for my crawling troublemaker.
But we went to a cosignment sale and got some PJs and a few other things. Shopping with my mom is always fun, and got to hang with his uncle while we shopped so that was nice.
kaydee0402 I hate to hear anyone seriously call a baby fat. That is awful. Sounds like the drama won't be missed, but the interaction will, so hopefully you find awesome friends or she turns a 360.
Why cat!? Why don't you move away when you see a baby barreling towards you?! Trying to clean cat hair off grubby little hands is not fun.
One of my cats is the same way. Infuriating. (and he's gotten mad and scratched baby too. Ugh! Just get out of the way. You KNOW the baby is going to pull your fur out).

kaydee0402 She sounds nuts. It's hard to lose a friend, but she doesn't sound like she was much of a friend at the end. If it's ppd/ppa talking, hopefully she apologizes and is a better friend again.
