My FIL came by for lunch, almost 2 hours later than he said. So of course A is ready to sleep shortly after we eat and I basically had to ask FIL to leave because he wouldn’t take my hints. lol it’s only me and the baby here today and he only likes to nurse and nap while on me. So...
I keep asking him about Christmas and he keeps bringing up his brand new girlfriend like it depends on her schedule? I’ve come to realize that this is a pattern with him and women he dates. I’m letting this one go. It’s like we’ll see ya if it works out. 🤷🏼♀️

I love my family but N is napping like shit and going 3+ hours between naps bc they get him so riled up and I just can’t fight him for an hour to fall asleep so I’m waiting for him to be “ready” and it’s just exhausting. I’ve also taken one nap since they’ve arrived on Sunday. So much for all this extra help and extra naps for me... 😒

Or clean the house! Lol but that hasn’t been the case. They mostly love him from afar.

When my parents come my dad usually helps my DH with yard work or fixing things while my mom hangs with the baby and I usually get some cooking done. I'd be annoyed if they didn't at least offer to help

cwbh928, sorry about the Little’s being so sick. It’s the worst. king26, I have not had my pp period yet and you’re scaring me. I hope it eases up! A also constantly stomps his legs while sleeping now. It’s driving me nuts! thinkchocolate05, yikes! I feel bad for your FIL. If you don’t get ahead of that quickly, it becomes such an issue. jt2378, sorry for the lack of sleep. It makes me super cranky too. Hopefully yours isn't as bad as mine. I'm just glad I got it yesterday morning and it didn't get bad until I got home from work.

My husband is so so lucky to have me. Sorry not sorry. He spent 7-4 working on a car with his dad. And I just about tweaked. I said time to give her a bath and put her to bed. Ahhhhem. TIME TO GIVE HER A BATH AND PUT HER TO BED. He actually said. Well aren’t you going to do it ? No DH you are. It’s my night off. Tomorrow is my night off to. He says OH. Set him all up had to remind him what to do because I DO IT ALL. Oh and he was complaining an hour ago that we haven’t had sex and it’s really messing with him. Ahem. There’s probably some things you can so so I can sleep and actually have energy for that. Probably. ugh that sucks. If be so irritated if DH left to do something fun then didn't want to hang with the baby. Usually he only leaves for work stuff or will leave an hour or two for stuff for himself. I don't blame you about the sex....who has energy for that??

Oh my god. My husband says. Don’t you just put her in the crib and walk away? Yes after maybe 30 minutes of struggling to put her to bed. It’s a last resort. You have to actually try. Why do you think this is easy? I am way to nice to you. I can't remember so ignore my ignorance but do you work outside the home? If so is DH with her on his own? If not you just need some you time out of the house on your own. For months I would set everything up for DH before I went anywhere, would give him.instructiins, and put j down for a nap before I left. About 3 weeks ago I just left one morning while j was awake. I think dh was surprised but you know What? He figured things out himself. When I went back to work on Monday the only thing I did was set out clothes for j to wear. I was worried but DH has really stepped up. He texted me once or twice this week with questions but otherwise j has had good naps, has been fed, and is happy when I get home. So the moral is, you need to leave DH alone with her and he will figure it out.

Omg yes @starzia! MH is good when prompted but wtf?! When I’m here it’s like he thinks it’s all my job which is completely annoying or constantly asks questions like he forgot what it is to parent. Um you have stayed home and watched DD1 3 days a week for 3 years, you know how to do it. Clearly being lazy. Sorry just have rage for you because he pulls that shit too sometimes and since I’ve had a broken ass since July, I’m grumpier than usual 😂

So the moral is, you need to leave DH alone with her and he will figure it out. I work on the weekends. And am not given any crap if I want to go out for a few hours and do my own thing. But he acts like when I’m home taking care of the baby is automatically my job. And I just called him out on it hard. The bolder is beyond irritating. I find myself asking if I can shower and it’s absurd. It’s just as much his responsibility as mine.

Lol jt2378 your ass jokes are wonderful but I feel Terrible for you at the same time. OT I always call you Justin Timberlake on my head. Is that what the JT stands for ?? Anyways my answer to king26 was short because DD woke up ( because he put her in the crib asleep instead of drowsy. Not a good listener ) and I was like HEY ITS MY TURN. WE ARE TAKING TURNS. Just emphasizing it’s our daughter our job. I have 100% full confidences his ability to parent when I’m not home however if he only takes care of her when I’m at work. He’s equal to a babysitter. And when I said that I’m sure it stung. Thanks for listening. Don’t know why my husband brain works the way it does. But I’m not going to take it. It’s not the way it’s going to be. Can’t let this slide because this is not the way the next 18 years are going to be Haha the JT stands for my initials or at least was with my maiden name. Justin Timberlake sounds cooler 😛

I’m so tired. Yesterday we went to MIL’s. Her sisters were in from out of town. H’s cousins were there. The four sisters had four boys and they had six daughters among them, no sons. T had a lot of fun. Grandpa dressed up as Santa Claus. T was super excited and yelled out “Pop the Pig.” She was pretty disappointed she didn’t get it, but it will be under the tree tomorrow.
PDQ T is in the pink stripped shirt. R is on Santa’s lap. Deleted pic
Today we are hosting my brothers and mom.

Luckily it was a one time thing. Thanks, hope you are feeling much better too. The worst of the flu is behind me luckily- thanks! The side effects of the new meds are making me feel extra rough right now though but i know tis temporary so trying to just take it one day at a time. Trying to be nice to myself and am resting on the couch a lot enjoying a lot of extra cuddle time with D.
