I still lurk daily. I'll start posting again if that's ok. Sorry I've been so inconsistent.
TW
SO wanted to give it one last try. So I agreed.
We ended up with another loss this time at 10 weeks. Just had my 2nd D&C a couple of weeks ago.
I told SO I'm done TFAS. He's not ok with it but I'm hoping he comes around.
I'm hoping SO will let me stay here this time. He's the only reason I'm still fence sitting but I don't plan on going anywhere for the foreseeable future.
Hope you guys will have me back. Again 😳

Thanks guys:)
I saw a couple of you are in the midst of house selling/buying/moving. How is all of that crazyness going?
We are STILL not finished the renos on our house. I am so hoping we'll be in by Christmas this year:/

We have officially sold our house & are in the process of moving out into storage units. Lol We give up the keys tomorrow night. It's been... A weekend. I strongly discourage moving with a 6-7yo. DS has been rather difficult/hard to navigate during all of this. Complaining about everything being taken away from him, wanting things he hasn't played with in months, & just not understanding things don't happen instantaneously. I mean, our transition does suck being in limbo for a good week before we get our new house but even the weeks beforehand have been pretty much non-stop drama one way or another. 🤦 Besides us doing this all on our own & being stressed as is, I am just tired.

Whelp, we'll be doing just this shortly. DD keeps melting down that she doesn't want to leave the city, she wants to stay near everything she knows etc. I'm hoping once we're in the new house & she's started her new school she'll be fine. Is your DS starting at a new school?

The fact that we're moving doesn't really bother him, it's the moving itself that he's been nonstop whining about like he's the one doing it. 🙄

It was much easier when he was barely 2 last time around when we could throw some goldfish his way & plop him in front of the TV & call it a day. 🤣

She's super nervous about starting at a new school.

I'm healing really well. I'm working on my arm strength so I can drive again.
DH enlisted his dad to come help me with the little things around the house and driving for now. I don't like him very much and I'm regretting it already. Before we pulled out of the airport parking lot FIL was talking about how he doesn't want to eat much because he's "watching his waistline." He talks about weight every time we see him and always when DD is with us. Then at 7am today he greets me with "hello sleeping beauty!" Like I'm a fucking child. I was already fully dressed before I came out of the bedroom and not a hot mess. I hate condescension that's tried to pass as a joke.
This'll be a very long week.

Ugh. Sorry @threegiraffes that would drive me nuts. My mom is like that so I get it. Hopefully you can get through this without your head exploding. NamasteBirches and bellatrix I do not look forward to moving with DD. Luckily the new house is only 10 minutes away from where she and I live now. And she's almost 5 so I'm hoping it won't be a huge deal when we finally do move. We have owned the house for 3 years so we visit the house to play when SO is working there...but now SO is so fed up with it that he wants to just sell it and buy something that doesn't need renos and wants to buy in a neighbouring town which is a terrible idea for both me and DD. But honestly at this point I just need him to make a decision and stuck with it. Either get contractors and finish the house or just put it on the market as is. The house is seriously ruining our relationship.

We were at the children’s museum today and some lady got a bitchy attitude with my son because he dared to walk by her kid when she was trying to take a picture of him 🤷🏻♀️
For the record, he had no idea she was taking a pic. The room was pretty crowded.

AFM, we are officially out of our house as of last night & survived to tell the tale. 🤣 I am exhausted like a mofo. We are in an Airbnb for the next few nights. We have closing on our new house this morning but she's not giving the keys up til Sunday. When we went for the walk through, she was probably more than halfway moved out so our realtor has been pushing for us to get in there earlier since she's obviously not living there. Hopefully this can happen. 🤞

yellowwallpaper she probably thinks her kid is the only one in existence. God forbid she be reminded that's not true. I hope your son wasn't upset by her. Adults can be such assholes to kids.

Day 2 with FIL and I'm not feeling better about him. He just sits around like he's waiting for me to give him a list of things to do. It's the BS "let me know if you need anything" but with the person in your house all day. I'm not giving a list. He came here specifically stating "you don't ask a recovering person what they need. You just show up and do it." Yeah, okay.

I’m sure if he took a minute, he could think of a few things to do to help out.

I'd rather just do everything myself instead of telling him than him asking a million questions. It's basically like he's babysitting me right now.

yellowwallpaper People are ridiculous sometimes. It drives me nuts when people give death stares or get obviously annoyed by things that happen inadvertently. I also laugh when people try to take pictures in crowded places and expect everyone to just get out of their way.
