Everything is so stressful...

MomToMany wrote: DH in particular is really making me mad. This house is a big mess; there's stuff everywhere where it shouldn't be. It's really bugging me. Then trying to get my work done is a joke! DH said I "really need to get working on them cables". I was getting real upset at this point! If I had 2 more hands I would be set!

Then we went to Duluth on Saturday to go to Sam's Club. What a nightmare that was! Kayla suddenly hates her carseat and was screaming most of the way there & back. Of course, DH had to have supper at Old Country Buffet. Well, Kayla got hungry, too. We were sitting in the way, way back in the corner so I could nurse her discretely. DH wouldn't LET me; he got REAL mad!! Which of corse I got upset, too! So, I went and fed her in the bathroom where I was crying too. He can be such a jerk sometimes!!

Kayla has been real fussy lately. I think once they get to be 2 or 3 weeks old, their true personalities show up. The only time she's truly happy is when she's attached to my BB's. So, that's where she is most of the time. And, she's not sleeping much at night, either, which of corse means I'm not. But DH is the one who gets to take 2 hour naps during the day!! Oh well, I have too much other stuff to get done! I couldn't relax enough to take one anyway!

Great; Ethan just woke up puking! What a lovely day this will be!!


P.S. Here's some pics:

Secondly - ((((((HUGE HUGS))))) to you! I can't even begin to imagine how difficult it must be for you! Especially with a DH who doesn't fully understand all of the pressures you are under I don't have a lot of advice, other than to sit him down and really explain what you need from him. And about the nursing in public thing, that is just outright ridiculous Tell him to go eat his dinner in the bathroom and see how he likes it. Or, tell him he can go sit in the car while you nurse her at the table. Grrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!

I hope Ethan's feeling better!!!

kimberley replied: i agree with Amy, the girls are adorable and Hannah is getting so big!!!

to your DH! if he is not going to be helpful, the very least he could do is shut up! sorry if that sounds mean, but his attitude towards you is mean! if he wants the cables and housework done then he needs to get off his behind and help! and don't even get me started about what he did to you in the restaurant! would he eat his supper in a restroom???? if not, then why should your sweet baby girl have to??? i find that attitude appaling especially when some moms are already uneasy NIP. i am sorry Kayla is being fussy but i am glad to hear that nursing is going well. Jade was like that for a little while around the same time but it was a short phase thankfully. (((((huge hugs)))) i hope things get easier soon. try not to worry about the housework too much. with every child comes a little more mess and the sooner we accept it, the happier we will be i hope Ethan is better soon.

A&A'smommy replied: I aggree the girls are beautiful and I think Kayla looks a lot like Hannah!

And I fully back up what kim and Amy said, uhh and about the nursing thing that was SO mean to make you go to the bathroom and feed your baby when your child is hungry you gotta feed them and if your nursing well I just don't understand...Anyway I hope you get some rest soon sweetie and i hope that Ethan is feeling better! ((((BIG BIG HUGS))))

coasterqueen replied: Ahhh she's such a cutie!!! And those ones of her and Hannah are PRECIOUS!!!!

Your DH makes me just a TAD bit angry! Noone would make me feed my child in the bathroom! Grrrr! I mean, I've done it before when *I* myself was not comfortable NIP, but DH NEVER made me do that. That is horrible!!!! Shame on him! Next time, I would tell him to go eat in the bathroom!!!!!

Sorry things are not going so well around home. I'm sure you know the routine after having a few kids, but it just doesn't seem to get easier, huh? I only have one and I remember what those first few months were like. I can't imagine what it would be like to have more.

Sorry Kayla is only happy with BB's right now. Those growth spurts seem to go endlessly for the first few weeks/month, they used to drive me crazy!!!!

If I lived near you I would come over and pamper you for a day

I was going to post the exact same thing. I hope Ethan is not too sick and it was just a random barf moment and I hope everything starts looking up soon.

DansMom replied: I hate days like that---so sorry you went through bad interactions with DH---that's so hard to deal with when you're already stressed

Hannah and Kayla look so much alike! I love the photos. You know, Daniel had the baby acne and was hard to comfort about the same age---it turned out to be cows milk allergy and he got better once I removed milk from my diet. It's something to consider anyway.

I hope Ethan's okay, and I hope tomorrow is a better, happier day!

MommyToAshley replied: (((HUGS)))

Sorry you are having such a rough day! I've had a few days like that and shed a few tears myself.


I agree totally! to your DH!! I hope he comes around and is more supportive, you already have a lot to deal with.

ediep replied: Kayla is jsut so adorable and Hannah is getting so big!!! What cuties!!!!

Sorry about the fussy baby, wish I had some advice.

MomToMany replied: Thanks everyone! I'm feeling better now. I just needed to vent a little. DH just drives me nuts sometimes!! He made another stupid comment today, too. He said Hannah will be coming home when she's 20 asking for Yummies (her word for nursing). I just wanted to smack him; he's so brainless sometimes! I think he's getting anxious for the BDing to start again, since it's been a VERY LOOONG time since anything like that has happened (like over 6 months for sure ). But, he's going to wait even longer with that kind of attitude!! I'm not ready for that stuff yet.





Ahh, Karen, that's a wonderful thought!! Thank you!!

CantWait replied: Shame on dh, I'm so sorry things aren't going very well right now. All I can say is that they will, even if at times it seems as if they won't. The girls are adorable, I love the pictures of the two of them together. Try and get some rest and leave the housework alone. I know it's hard, I'm a neat freak, but sometimes you just need some time for yourself. Hugs

jdkjd replied: Aimee-I'm so sorry about your DH being such a butthead. And I'm right there with you on the baby on the BBs. I feel like I haven't gotten a break in days.

I hope Ethan feels better and I'll cross my fingers that Kayla gives you a break.

MomToMany replied: At least today has been a better day (so far)! Ethan only puked twice, so I don't know what was up with that. Kayla is still attached to me, but is starting to take longer naps in between . The messy house still bugs me, but I'll tackle that on Friday since Hannah's birthday party is on Saturday , even though she turns 2 tomorrow .

Thanks again for all the encouraging words. It just gets real stressful at times.

Kaitlin'smom replied: well I am late in responding to this, the girls are beautiful...


and OMG I cant believe your DH said thoes dumb things to you...gurr how mean of him, I would deffinalty send him to the bathroom next time to eat! Hope things get better and slow down.....dont worry I have cleaning I really need to do but by the end of the day when I have a few minutes I am just to tired....

chloe&tysmommy replied: Your girls are soo sweet..

I totally agree with the other ladies...bad, bad dh!

I hope things start looking up for you very soon

Sounds like DH is feeling neglected. That doesn't mean he needs to be so rude and SELFISH!

HUGS

Guest_micah replied: Hello from Minnesota. Just saw the precius picture of your little girl.
I noticed her birhdate. My son was born on the 27th of March of this year.My dad's b-day). He passed away 8 yrs ago. We named him Levi John. John is my dad's name. Levi's due date wasn't till April 11, but came on that special day.( I know my dad had something to do with it) My daughter too prayed he would come on Grandpa's b-day. My other son's b-day is April 10, so I'm glad too that there is a couple week difference. Micah
