It was a horrible weekend. I didn't get my pictures taken because my mom came by and dropped the bomb that she wants to move to Arizona. Not only is she my only family here, but she's my child care half the week and my closest friend. I was heartbroken and didn't go get my pictures done. Just thinking about what this will do to DS breaks my heart even more.
And damn that Seahawks loss is a tough one to get over....
I sent DH that article about about CIO and the effects on your baby and he said it made him sad. He no longer suggests I just throw her in the crib and let her cry
I think I missed the article. Was it here or on FB? I would like to send it to DH because I try to explain and he just says she will be fine. It makes me want to punch him in his face.
nicb13, i am so sorry. I would be crushed if my mom moved far away. Why does she want to move?
She hates WA and is only here because of me and the kids. Her sister and brother live in Arizona and she can actually afford a house there. She isn't working because she has too many medical problems and when she turns 65 in a year, she loses a shit of money she's getting from the government.
She was crying, I was crying, I just didn't see this coming. I never, ever thought she would THINK about moving away and leaving me or the kids. She lives 5 minutes away from me and I literally have no other family near by. This blows.
I'm so sorry. I would be so sad too. My mom moved away a couple years ago because they're several years short of retirement and couldn't find anything close by. They had to leave my brothers and their kids and then moved further away from me. Honestly the kids adapted pretty quickly but it still sucks ass. My mom and I are really close. She's said several times that she cries when I send her pictures of DD. I definitely know how you feel. ((hugs))
My guy had his four month checkup and shots yesterday. My husband took him since I was working a 12+ hr day. He screamed so hard that he puked, poor guy. The baby, I mean. I think my husband only cried a little.
is he feeling better today?
He seemed fine when I fed him before I left for work, but my husband said he woke up screaming a few hours later. Hopefully the Tylenol is helping.
hugs nicb13 I couldn't live that far away from my mom either so many T&P's for your family alfibet mrsbabe614 - hugs - you're a great mom and doing the best you can
My grandma who I'm really close to called my mom Friday night saying she couldn't breathe right. My mom rushed her to the hospital and she has pneumonia and her lips were blue. She was supposed to be released weds, but she's not doing well so they won't be releasing her. I'm so scared. I'm going to see her today and I'm terrified. My mom said to text her to amuse her, so I send her funny pictures of my dogs and kids, and she responds with nonsense. Ugh, life is so god damn unfair. Sorry to be the party pooper.
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).
My husband thinks the same thing except I had to leave for three nights and he did let her CIO even though I told him not too. He told me he googled it at 2am and whatever he read said it was fine. I'm not leaving DD again until she STTN.
Oh fuck no. My H might be strangled if he did that.

Maybe you can link me this article? I've explained it to him, but his response is always "but my mom said" and if I hear it one more time I will literally punch him.
I'd like to see that article too. I told DH that I couldn't do CIO the other day and he said that he would help me through it. I told him that I wasn't comfortable with it at all but he thinks we have to do it at some point

Yeah that warrants a dick punch. I would be so pissed and I told DH if he did it that I was going to be livid.
alfibet I'm sorry about your grandmother! I love my granny so much. Losing her or watching her go through end of life stuff is one of my biggest fears.

Ughhh. Does that make you want to move at all? Arizona is so far away from you. You could move there and hang out with tickettuesday. I live about eight hours away from my mom and it blows. We are besties. It's one reason I want to move home.

Me too, I've been dreading it forever. I've never known anyone who's passed away, so I'm not sure what to expect or how to feel. Hopefully that won't happen right now though, and she'll recover. Trying to stay positive
