My 3 yr old ran out of the bathroom and said he just had a ghost poo. 🤦♀️ HAHAHAHAHA!! An invisible poo?? That's hilarious! Also, speaking of poop. I am so happy, DS1 has been doing such a great job wiping himself! I think I might finally be done wiping his butt forever now. I'm still double checking his work, but so far it's been clean! OMG can he come teach W. That boy is nowhere near ready to be wiping on his own and I'm starting to think it will never happen.

I was wondering at what age the butt wiping can stop completely 😂 I'm still wiping...but Miralax.

That boy is nowhere near ready to be wiping on his own and I'm starting to think it will never happen. It just started happening all of a sudden. He's been wiping for a long time now, but just not very well. Then one day I noticed that he's getting himself pretty clean and it's been like that for a few weeks now. Of course, when we were at home and he poops, he runs out of the bathroom with no pants or underwear on. So, we're still working on somethings.

But then as I said he's terrible at it so it's a huge problem. tgrimes, buy underwear in bulk.

But then as I said he's terrible at it so it's a huge problem. tgrimes , buy underwear in bulk. Oh, been there! One time DS1 was walking around and I started to smell poop. I thought it was DS2, but he was clean. Then I noticed DS1 had poop on the back of his shirt. So I took him into the bathroom and sure enough, poop all in his pants. At first I thought he had an accident, but nope. He just didn't wipe and then put his pants back on. That was fun. Also, like I mentioned, he doesn't like to put his pants back on after going to the bathroom. So there's been plenty of times where he'll come running out with a bare butt and start jumping and sitting on things while I run into the bathroom to see if he pooped and then go chase him around with some toilet paper before his butt smears more poop on things.

W is starting to ask some really pointed and insightful questions about Santa and part of me wants to be honest and tell him it's just a holiday game we play.
Then I feel grinchy.
But he's really asking good questions

Happy birthday to M tgrimes! And happy birthday to O @jubiliantsquirrel! I was drowning in HR analytics today at work, not fun at all. Kids are playing, aka destroying the house. I’m hoping to catch up on some tv as soon as the kids are in bed!

Ok the poop wiping is great and all, but at this point what I’m really interested in is when do kids start independently blowing their nose?

Well, H and MIL had a huge fight about the dog nipping at the twins.
I was putting W to bed but I could hear every word. And basically MIL was screaming about why didn't I say anything when it happened (because SIL was right fucking there and I don't need to report in to MIL specifically), it couldn't have happened as I described (I don't even know what to say to that), J must have startled her (no), J must have done something to piss her off (other than touch her back, no), the dog would never do anything, why is H being this way, the dog is SILs "baby" and she will be included in all family events, we need to teach the kids to stay out of her face and not touch her, etc. She told H that we need to figure out Christmas because the dog will be here and there's no changing that. Basically deny, deny, deny that there's a problem and put it all on us to deal with.
I'm kind of speechless at how it went down and some of the things she said. I don't believe I've ever felt more like I'm just the faceless daughter in law to be impugned and blamed in this way.

And fuck no to you needing to figureout Christmas. You live there too and the very least your kids deserve is a safe home, and it's not safe with that dog following you all around and trying to show dominance over your children. This is seriously some fucked up shit and I am so heated on your behalf right now.

Was this woman always such an asshole or is she having a life crisis now that retirement and their move is coming up? Because that is very much not a normal response. Like hello, this is SG, the girl who’s name is that of her dog and is willing to part with $$$$$ in order to make sure all the furry creatures in my home have matching HA fam jams. Her behavior is just downright disrespectful and you don’t deserve that. I continue to be so happy that your H always puts up a united front against it all with you though. Wtf MIL

I was there when the multicultural day nonsense went down, but my tolerance for family drama is v v low. She’s really putting you through the ringer. It's been nagging at me since that moment, some comments during Kavanaugh that I don't think I shared because it was too much for me, the expectations she laid out just a few weeks ago (storing SILs shit and the basement room being "theirs" forever and ever amen), and now this. Like...this could have been a really great gift but honestly at this point it's becoming more of a burden. The bottom line is the house will always be theirs - no matter who actually owns it. So we are growing increasingly wary of living under this specter for the next 15 years or so. H and I have been talking for the past few hours and I think what we've settled on is not making an emotional decision. Our ILs gave us the option to rent a while if we needed to financially. So, we are probably going to try to rent this house starting in January. Then we have between Jan and August (when we get W's Kinder raise, and by then hopefully I'm FT and H has a higher paying job), to look for alternatives and in the mean time we will live here a while without her and see how it goes before we commit to long term.

H and I just stumbled on some lots for sale. Like to complete a neighborhood. It's quiet, right up the road from here, close to the kids school. How much does it cost to build a 2k sq ft home?

I think that’s a great way to handle the entire situation. You have a very even tempered ability to make, or at least discuss, decisions even when very upset. My hope is that she retires, moves to (SC, right?) and just chills out big time. I’m sure that she feels like she’s losing control and trying to grasp into whatever pieces she can while the reins are still in her hands. Her personality sounds extremely type A and that usually, from experience, doesn’t deal well with change. Her behavior is inexcusable, but I hope for the sake of her future relationship with your entire family she calms her tits and has a bit of a wake up call. KOKO, lady. You’re handling this with a lot more grace than I would be. I commend you.

It’s after 10 and M is still awake. She’s starts coughing as soon as she relaxes a bit and is starting to sound really wheezy. I forgot my stethoscope at work last week so I can’t check if it’s low and we need to go in or if it’s just junk that she needs to cough up. Couldn’t she start the season off with just a simple cold instead of this nonsense?
