lollipop YIKES! So scary!! C has threatened to run away a few times and packed a bag to take her dolls (lol) but she hasn't actually walked out the door yet. I remember doing that around 6 or 7 and my mom opened the door for me and said, "Go ahead." It cured me pretty quickly. Your neighbor's kid has moxie. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How do you tell your H he's rude? His mom is here and he just doesn't seem to have common courtesy around his family. I often find myself cringing as he's talking. He's not mean, but he'll point out gifts they've given him that broke, or instead of asking say something like, "So you're babysitting for us, tomorrow, ok?" He swears he'd already talked to her about babysitting even so...yikes. Not how I'd phrase that.
I've made a point of telling C (in front of him) multiple times that when we have guests we don't sit and play on our tablets Bc he thinks nothing of it and will tune everyone out. I think he got the message but we will see.
However, I know if I tell him he's not being very polite he'll get a major case of butt hurt and be cranky st me.
Don't get me wrong. He's a great guy. He just gets weird in front of his family, like too relaxed.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I threatened to too. My mom never thought anything of it until after we moved here (I was almost 9). She was convinced that one day I'd get angry and just pack up and go to my grandparents. 3000 miles away. S hasn't yet, but another neighbour kid got the same idea later in the day. She didn't get far. The first one is in so much trouble. Her mother was so mad she was shaking when I talked to her. |

Having MIL here has helped me realize that I'm not the nicest person. I'm so annoyed and irritated with her and H, though neither of them are doing anything wrong. Just the way they're talking is driving me up the wall.
Oh, hi, period.

I try to let it slide and go get some time away. (Usually that's just going into the bedroom to read if we're visiting them.) We only see them a few times a year, so I try to be a good sport about things. I actually really love my in laws, but it's always nice to get things back to normal after the visit is over. Good luck! How much longer is she there? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I got the big coffee today. S and I got home around midnight last night. We had an awesome day, but so long. So we're having a lazy day today.

We survived the week. L had a horrible fever for about 36 hrs. I didn't have my thermometer but definitely the hottest she has ever felt and listless at one point. I was a little scared. But she perked up and then was back to normal the next afternoon. She has a rash now and I think my one mom nailed it suggesting Roseola. Anyway despite that and also a clear move towards terrible two temper tantrums the week was a success. We are home for a week now and then back to the show the next week. She has her 18mos well check tomorrow. Also here she is relaxing at the stalls.  |

kcrkcs, yep, sounds like roseola. That was the first high fever for each of my DDs, too. I'm glad she's feeling better now! Only 4 more days of preschool left, then it's summer break. I've started turning down freelance jobs so I'm not too stressed and can hopefully get some stuff done around the house with the LOs here. I wonder if I can talk them into thinking that pulling weeds is fun?

MIL is on her way to the airport and not a freaking moment too soon. I cannot handle the way she needs drama and an audience for her at all times. Also, make a freaking decision? We'd all starve to death if left to her. I've never heard "Oh, I'm fine," or "Anything is ok with me" so many times. I get that it's to be polite but it actually is frustrating. It took me 15 minutes to figure out what she likes for breakfast. "MIL, what do you like to eat for breakfast?" "Whatever I can find." "Ok, bit what do you like?" "Anything laying around." "Well what was laying around for you before you left?" "Oh you don't even want to know."
?!*%k!@$!!

Well, there went an hour of my work time today. DD1 got stung by a bee on the neck at preschool, so I had to go get them all an hour early to keep an eye on her. I'm glad preschool called and all - it just sometimes seems like there's always something.

copperboom - OMG, my mom is the SAME way. It drives me CRAAAAAAZY. I have tried to tell her that by not making a decision she is not being easy like she thinks she is, she's actually making things harder because I have to make all the choices myself. Also, when my mom ever decides to make a decision (usually about something big, complex, important, and multilayered) she then becomes completely stubborn and must execute said plan NOW and will not listen to anyone else's input. Like the time she put her perfectly healthy dog down, or decided she needed a double mastectomy. Good times. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

geez nellieoleson, I thought I was looking at the forecast for PHX. Glad your MIL is gone and you can relax, copperboom! I hope DD is doing ok now despite the bee sting, crimsonandclover. But yes, it is always something! Murphy's Law! Glad you survived hell week, kcrkcs! DS had roseola as an infant. Glad she is on the mend. I'll join you on the toddler tantrum bench. Off to start a new week thread! |
