motownthrowdown education degree here too. There is also the factor of what to do when you have a kid who doesn't celebrate Halloween. I had that student teaching. A student was a Jehovah's Witness and not allowed. His mom called that day and asked if we'd be celebrating because if we were she wasn't sending him. The teacher I worked with said we weren't but then handed out candy at the end of the day anyway. *eye roll*
It kind of sucked for this kid because if they were celebrating birthdays eg the person brought a treat then he couldn't participate
I was raised a Jehovah's Witness. During Halloween parties or Christmas parties or whatever, my mom asked me to be sent to the library. If there was a birthday and cupcakes were handed out, I would always decline. I never got any of the treats but I never minded or felt like I was missing out. Witness kids are taught well lol.
Jackson used to be perfectly fine with taking a bottle straight out of the fridge but ever since we got our new fridge it makes the bottles too cold for him even on the lowest setting. He likes to drink fast so I think he gets brain freezes. I think I need to invest in a bottle warmer.
I don't have a bottle warmer. When I use a bottle I boil water, fill a thermos (and a cup for my tea), drop the bottle in, wait a couple of minutes and then check it on my wrist and good to go! I also get a cup of tea out of the deal!
Also. It's a small world because the LC that came has a 3 Yr old and Isaac and her son go to preschool together.
You can keep that shit over by you! Unfortunately, I know it'll be here in about the next hr. It dropped 10 degrees from the time that I went into target until I came out.
Edit--Eh, wrong quote. I was talking about the snow obviously.

I've been in Michigan for 5 days and I have a job offer! One of DH's colleagues practices in Chicago but is opening an office in Detroit and needs someone to help him with paralegal work/law office administration. DH mentioned my experience and he was pretty excited about it and wants to meet when he's up here in a few weeks to discuss specifics. I wasn't really looking for anything but he said I could work part time from home and have calls forwarded... Seems like it'd be pretty low key but I'm pumped!

What does an ear infection look like in an infant? Little Bones just got diagnosed with a double and now I'm wondering if I shouldn't take Littlest:
If they're screaming when they're laying down (and you've ruled out that they don't need to eat/get a diaper change/all other usual issues) that's a pretty strong sign. Is Littlest Bones congested at all?
Ns first day of daycare went well.. I cried so much though. I basically have no time at work to interact with you all anymore I do catch up on the posts when I'm taking my pump breaks.
Oh, my store manager (she's new to our store and the companyzz)got huffy with me when I told her I was taking my last pump break. I think I may start rephrasing them to "my 15 minute break" since I'm fucking entitled to it. ANDDDD it's the LAW for letting me pump even if it wasn't my entitled break. Whore.

He had been early in the week. They both had a slight cough (though DS1 was much worse). DS2 has been a little fussier at the boob which I had thought was him wanting to stretch out his feedings. He also has been preferring to be up right. I thought was just babying things up but now I'm not sure. And I feel like a shitty parent for missing it in DS1.
Ladies, I am really struggling. H and I have been at each other's throats for a while now. He says I don't support him in anything and that I "get my way" all of the time. Tonight / today was especially difficult. He texted me saying his sister was really interested in watching Collin and he suggested Saturday. He then went on to say that we should keep it a secret from dd. Well SIL has two daughters (7 and 5). Why wouldn't she offer to watch dd too or take dd instead bc her girls could play with Emma. That rubbed me the wrong way. The other thing is I am away from C five days a week and next week is a hell week with parent teacher conferences in the evening. I don't want to give up time with with either of my children this weekend. I also don't want to pump on the weekend when I could just nurse and I want to nurse. I think my SIL has bothered me bc she made a comment about just going and getting C from daycare to spend time with him. Umm if you wanted to spend time with him why didn't you offer to watch him full time? Oh wait it's bc she didn't want to do it full time and she watches other people's children. (I wouldn't have done this even if she had offered. She doesn't vaccinate and wouldn't tell me if some one in her household was sick.) Then she will make a snide comment about my mom not splitting babysitting duties with her. My mom wants to be just grandma she doesn't want to discipline or not be able to go visit my sister who lives 5 hrs away whenever she feels like it. Plus my dad travels for work a ton and she goes with him too. Anytime this SIL offers help it's when it is convenient for her. And if I ask for help she can never do it. H is mad at me bc he says I favor my family over his. My family always invites us places with plenty of time to plan. His family it is always at the last minute or day of. (Not my style). I even offered the suggestion to hang out while I am stuck at conferences but that's not what H wanted. H then brings up BS about my parents liking my sister's h better and he has no support. What am I chopped liver? I can't fix that his mom passed away (bc she refused medical treatment for over a year and had cancer in the end and his dad is a douche. (FIL lives 45 mins away and seen dd - max of 10 times in 5 1/2 years and the baby 2 times). It's the same argument over and over. Let's even forget the lack of intimacy. I am just worn out. I am the main provider. I have lots of responsibilities at my work. I do all of the drop off, pick up, scheduling, transportation with the kids.

smore such a tough situation. In-laws can be difficult to deal with sometimes, especially when you don't have a united front with YH. Is the fighting a new thing after the baby? Everyone told me the change in my relationship would be hardest after we have our first child. For me the biggest change/challenge has been since we had #2. Sorry you're having to deal with so much right now.
smore, that sounds so frustrating! Will your H rationally talk about it with you when you've both had time to cool down? Hope it gets worked out soon, it's overwhelming to keep all that in.
RandomName, we go in cycles but it has been a hard adjustment with 2. Adjustment after 1 was a dream. We also had big lifestyle change with dd going to school. Plus I feel like H has waves of jealousy bc my parents are supportive but not overly involved. It's like pulling teeth to get his dad involved. His world was rocked when we lost his mom. He has said to me he wishes his dad would just invite us to his house more. FIL and MIL were divorced and FIL has been remarried for years. I just wish he wouldn't take everything I say or do as an attack on him. There has been one step forward. He did apologize for blowing up at me tonight. He's never done that before.

I hope. I don't want to argue and I want us to get back to a good place.
I think need to buy a new carrier. I have a ktan and really love it. But I'm pretty sure I ruined it. I didn't realize just how tight they are supposed to be so MH and I stretched it out quite a bit and tossing it in the dryer is a temporary fix. It is so loose it basically isn't working at all. but I have no idea if I should get another ktan or venture deeper into the baby wearing world...I still haven't made it to a meeting yet.
