Last night I got home and put on pajama pants before starting dinner. I wore them for 3 hours before I realized that there was dried spit up (LOTS of it) all down one pant leg.
FFTC? I left them on until I went to bed.
You have inspired me to confess that I have been wearing the same yoga pants and hoodie (different underwear and tank top underneath) for 3 days now. I've showered, but seeing as though we have been hibernating I give zero fucks.
I have such mixed feelings about that article. The case is really extreme. But there is just so much gray area in between the three types of parenting, that I do feel like it neglects the fact that you don't have to be at the baby's bedside 100% of the time to have a successful relationship. And yes, we are the only mammals that sleep apart from nursing babies, but we are also the only ones that go to work, pump breastmilk, and leave infants with other caregivers. I am totally against CIO as described above, but I also think that there are happy mediums that are ignored in here. The whole things bothers me.
Also, can we turn the tone of this randoms around?? You guys are actively depressing me today! I of course support you all and know you are having a tough time, but I'm so sad after reading all of these!
I would agree about what you're saying. That's why I've suggested using it for the H's who think that THIS CIO is not acceptable. Which is what my H keeps trying to say to me. No No NO! DH's boss tried to tell us that his kids STTN on the first night home! Then he found out that at 8:30 his wife was shutting off the baby monitor. Uhm, messed up...
So the sitter told us Friday that she has to go from watching the kids 3 days, to only watching them 1 day (we got one week's notice), then my mom drops this bomb, then I miss my photo shoot, then the fucking Seahawks lost. DH and I are seriously all fucked up now.
First: wine. All the wine. Second: do you have a backup plan for the kids? Dude that's so much all at once.
We THINK we have a plan...just have to run it past my boss and see how it goes!

nicb13 so sorry it's so hard to be away from family, but you're a tough chick! You'll figure out how to make it bearable. Is it totally out of the question to consider moving out there to keep your family close? The northwest has a high cost of living and a ton of rain, so I get it.
alfibet pneumonia sucks. It's ok to be scared, my H had it a couple years ago and it was terrible. And he was 30years old and healthy. I can't imagine how it would be for an elderly person.

I change my clothes as infrequently as possible. Between DD and DH I already have more laundry than I can keep up with. Plus every time I put on something new it ends up covered in spit up within 5 minutes anyway.
I think DH and I hit our limits on how much undivided time we can spend together. It was yesterday and, after 3 days together, we were done. It didn't help that the snowstorm left us trapped and we hadn't really done much all weekend. I was getting DS to take a nap because he was frustrated and crying and DH literally said "just put him in his crib, he'll cry himself to sleep, that's what my mom said to do." I explained we don't let him CIO and I didn't mind rocking him to sleep and he said "well that's why he is the way he is." I don't know what that was supposed to mean, but I'm going to throw his phone in the garbage disposal and let him CIO when he can't talk to his mommy every 5 seconds. And then he pouted all night and went to bed at 6pm. And, when I got up for the MOTN feeding he asked why I was getting up and I responded with "BECAUSE WHEN YOUR KID IS CRYING AND HUNGRY YOU GET UP TO FEED HIM."
tl;dr - 3 days secluded with DH is too much without any outside influence (other than his mom on the phone).
I feel you. We were only trapped inside for a day and I couldn't take it.
My rainbow arrived 10/15/14.

Talk about random...
About 3 years ago, H & I went to an Eric Clapton concert in New Orleans. We sat next to this awesome woman and her son. I was trashed (shocker!) and we danced and danced and danced. She ended up adding me on Facebook and we chatted a little about different concerts coming up, etc. About a year ago I guess she deactivated FB (or deleted me). Haven't heard from her since.
She just called me because her daughter and SIL moved to BR, and SIL got laid off this morning. She wanted to know if I knew of any IT jobs available.
Dude. It's a pretty big step and your first date. Cut yourself some slack!
This. I would probably be quivering in the corner if I was going on a date. You're doing great!
This! You'll freak out until you get in the car and the first thing is said. You'll be great! I get it. When I went to meet DH for our first date, I threw up. Lol Take some tums you're going to give yourself an ulcer
