Amazing tgrimes I'm so proud of you. It is absolutely not funny and he needed to be told. I'm glad you were feeling strong enough to confront him.

tgrimes This is obviously someone who has never experienced anything like this close by. What a bizarre thing to make jokes about. I'd probably be fuming too. It's amazing you had the guts to speak up!

I feel your pain trtlcrzy. Bedtime with M has been shit lately. It sucks and you have all my sorries. I actually resorted to using melatonin for the first time this Wenesday. tgrimes You go girl. It's crazy that you even had to tell someone that subject matter is not funny. TP to that ass wipe.

So frustrating, trtlcrzy. Can you do a reward system with her? Like if she stays in bed quietly for 3 nights she gets xyz. We have been doing this with C and it's worked amazing! Some of our incentives have been a movie and ice cream sundaes, a small toy, going to see some kids he loves to play with, ect.

You are amazing tgrimes!! I'm proud of you! I can't imagine anything he could possibly have said about that subject to ever have been even remotely funny. Some things are just not to be joked about!

I am so over sleep time battles. H has been awful at nap and bedtime for the last few days. Tonight we put her to bed at 8:40. It is currently 10:50 and she is still up. I can't just lock her in the room because S is in there. Earlier I looked at the monitor and she was trying to climb over the crib to wake her up or something. I don't know what to do but this is the ducking worst. Do you think she's ready to drop the nap?

tgrimes I meant to ask last night, but please tell me that no one in the audience was laughing and it was a super uncomfortable silence?

tgrimes I meant to ask last night, but please tell me that no one in the audience was laughing and it was a super uncomfortable silence? So there were still a few people that laughed but the majority of people were silent or looking at their friends with eyebrows raised. His whole set was kind of uncomfortable though. His fiancé is a poc so he was making jokes about race. I didn't find it that funny. Tim Meadows also made jokes about race but his were hilarious. MH and I talked about this afterwards and we think the difference was that Tim made the jokes about himself or in relation to his experiences, if that makes sense. Seriously, I'm still fuming today. I'm strongly considering making a fake FB account just to tell him again how innapropriate those jokes are.

*** TW
It will surprise no one that my BIL used to make those types of jokes. I'd always tell him to stfu, etc. After my miscarriage, I told him I better not ever hear him make another one of those jokes again. Surprisingly, he has obliged.
I'm not going to google it but i believe there was a time where these jokes were a thing. Similar to how yo momma jokes used to be a thing.

Good for you tgrimes. Maybe an anonymous phone call needs to be made to Texas Children's about possible Hippa violations?

Shit, I'm so sorry. When is your brother going to bring them to you? I thought Sunday, but apparently it's Wednesday. I have a Dr appointment Monday, so I may have the Dr submit the refills so that it gives me some same day.

She still takes 2-3 hour naps.
