So I just put j down for a 3rd nap. I haven't had to do that in weeks but he was crabby and had a crappy second nap. He did not want to go down but has been sleeping for 45 minutes now. If I didn't make him nap he would go down at 630 which means he would be up around 430 and that is not happening..
Just found out they are taking the other special ed teacher at my school and giving me one that is sick and never comes. Fun times. This is the 6th teacher we've had in that position in 6 years. It's not fair to the kids, to me, or to the other teachers. That person works with kids in K, 1, and 2 so those kids have a different person each year. I'm the only constant and I just see them at breakfast, bus, and if they have behaviors. I'm pissed off. I do not need to train yet another person....

That sucks about work king26! Ugh. D usually takes 2 naps a day tho depending on how long out short those are I will put in a 3rd as well. Rather have her stay up a little later for once cause of the extra nap then have her call apart over dinner and sleep early and be up for the next day at stupid o'clock in the am! These past nights she had been waking up every couple of hours again which is just so exhausting.

Oh my goodness. DD fell last night and hit her face, and it looked like just the tip of her nose was scraped. Well today her nose/under left eye is all bruised and swollen. Then DS pushed her over and she got a goose egg on the side of her head. She has her 9 month check up tomorrow and looks like she got in a full contact baby brawl. She barely cried for either incident so I’m sure she’s just fine but ugh.

M seems like she is starting to feel better but the toddler is a disaster. She is coughing and now has been fevering since last night ugh. Omg I swear it’s June wtf. Now MH has me all paranoid because she has a few mosquito bites that have swelled up like crazy and with the fever he has me feeling like it’s something with that but since she is coughing I assume it’s a cold or virus.

Ok question for you ladies.my nanny is on vacation this week. It was a recent request (like 2 weeks ago) and both sets of grandparents are busy so they couldn’t come up to watch him. So I have two days of work this week I don’t have anyone to watch him because my friend that agreed to, flaked. 🙄
So I got an 18yo recommended as a babysitter, her references are amazing, she’s going off to a great college in the fall, and I’m meeting her today for an interview.
But my worry is leaving her with him for 10! Hours on their first day together. Am I overreacting? It just seems like a lot for both of them, esp since he doesn’t know her. I’m just very worried and idk how much of it is warranted. Like is it first time mom worry or normal mom worry? Of course I could end up hating her and it’s a moot point but....
Thoughts??

Oof, 10 hours feels like a lot for the first time. I think if it was only a few hours I would feel more breezy about it. Will she be watching him both days? Maybe I’m overreacting too but I would be worried. Buuuttt no one ever watches my kids except my inlaws occasionally so I have no experience with it. Sorry 😐

I have to call into work on Thursday regardless bc I can’t find anyone else. I think I should just call in on Wednesday, too. I think 10h is just too much. If it were like 4h I’d be all over it but it’s SUCH a long time. I’m also irritated bc I asked DH if he could call in one day bc hi, his kid too, and he gave me such shit for it bc he has to get someone to cover his patients and his resident won’t be there either so the sub would be on their own, and I get it, that’s tough, but 🙄 why do I have to call in twice. I feel like unless you have a WFH dad then this shit falls to the mom a lot and I’m already feeling overworked at home and dh isn’t pulling his weight lately (which he acknowledged and apologized for last night) so double ugh.

Yeah that really sucks both days are on you. I would be pretty annoyed too with MH if he pulled that shit. Like your job is just as important. Sorry your stuck in this situation but if you would just be stressed and worried the whole time it wouldn’t even be worth leaving him with the babysitter.

Ugh I'm sorry addymac yes 10 hours seems like a lot for an 18 year old. Does she have experience with infants? If so I might feel different. I'll be honest, at the age of 12 I was babysitting a 3 month old for up to 4 hours at night. When I turned 13 he was 9 months and I would watch him for up to 6 hours. I know this was a long time ago and my parents were down the street but I handled it fine and I was a kid. Now there is no way in hell I'm leaving my kid with a 12 or 13 year old but if the 18 year old had infant experience i would consider it. Also, I feel like when I get home from work I do everything but I have to keep telling myself my h is a wfh dad and needs the time when I'm home to get his stuff done. Sometimes it's frustrating but I know he needs the break.

king26 good call. Your H needs a break too. It’s just hard for everyone. Woof. So I met the girl. She’s sweet, she’s smart, she has never watched an infant. Lowest age has been a 2yo. So I don’t know. 😣 I think I will keep her for afternoon and evening babysitting so we can go on dates but I don’t think I can be confident in having her be with him for 10 hours. Sigh.

addymac ahh tough call but I dont think I would feel comfi letting her babysit for that long for the first time either. I totally get your reservations.. and it sucks YH doesnt seem to want to call in one day as well and it all falls on you! Having a back up nanny for other events will be nice tho?

Yeah I decided against it. Guess I get a mini vacation from work! I worked Sunday and I’m not back til Saturday night now! Yeah I’m irritated as all heck with him But N STTN! 2nd time since Saturday! He is 2/4 on STTN these last four nights. Fx he keeps it going!! It’s funny bc the two nights he did STTN we’re both nights DH was in charge of wake ups. So I told him he’s in charge EVERY night now lol. And yes. We need a permanent backup nanny in. Case something happens and our nanny needs off. We really need to get on that. And have the backup meet Noah and get comfortable w him. And also have experience with infants / littler ones. Oh well. Live and learn.

So E hasn't nursed since 5am. She won't take a bottle either. Lovely that she can go 6+ hours during the day but is still up every 2 fucking hours at night. I'm so annoyed.

So J thinks wake up time is 5 or 530. Doesn't matter what time I put him to bed. It's killing me. Could this be a sleep regression? It also doesn't matter of I get him up, pretend it's motn, feed him, and put him back down, he's still up. It's driving me nuts.

For the last week or 2, she's up every day at 5. 😴

What a stressful situation addymac. I’m sorry YH isn’t helping out with calling off one of the days. Is your position able to take a half day, instead of the full 10 hours?

If I have to call off it’s for the entire shift oh well. I’m trying to look at it like more time with N and not focus on the irritation I have at DH or how my sick hours at work are dwindling down to nothing 😒

She finally nursed around noon and is now again after nap. 🤷♀️ babies, man.

Oh no kristyw, every two hours at this age is so hard. That's how my ds1 was. I think there is a sleep regression or something. Baby h had started sttn, but suddenly he's not anymore. Hopefully it will pass soon for everyone.

Hopefully it will pass soon for everyone. She wasn't this bad as a newborn. And my DS STTN at like 6 months and never looked back so I'm very WTF about it. I mean, she eats and goes right back to sleep. But still. So unnecessary. She eats SO much during the day (today is definitely not the norm).
