that's all i have to say about that.
it's just so frustrating because he works SO hard. and it's not just long hours, but the AMOUNT of work he does when he's there is insane.
and he's the only IT guy for the company so he has to travel the tristate area......IF he leaves, they are screwed but he won't bc our area is saturated with IT ppl......
: his priorities are all messed up right now.......

in LWAB- i have a possibly controversial question: with self-feeding/baby led weaning vs. purees and spoon feeding- does it have to be all or nothing? i had a talk with otto's daycare provider today (who i really like and respect- she's been doing this for 25 years) and she is just not comfortable with self feeding at his age because of what she sees as a choking risk. (i think it has alot to do with the fact that she is responsible for several little people all at once!) she is willing to feed him food that i make with no problem but she wants it to be spoon feedable. so i guess my question is, can we do the pureed stuff at school until she is comfortable with him self feeding and continue to self feed at home without confusing the little guy too terribly? i would just let him do bm only at school but he is really hungry and i'm just not able to increase the amount of time i spend pumping while i'm at work. ok so that was really long and convoluted. am i making sense? |
: dh isn't too comfy with the self-feeding thing either. we just make sure that she guides when to start and stop when we do purees. she especially likes fruits in puree form (applesauce is a fave). so, we usually let her play with the purees, eat them off her fingers, play with the bowl and the spoon. it's a really relaxed process whether we're doing chunks or purees. while i know they're not "necessary", for our current situation, it works for us. she likes playing with them, and we feel like she's getting a lot of different tastes while having fun. as well, i think it's important for her to see BOTH dh and i in the eating process.
My mom just went through something very similar. She had been working for the same people for over 20 years, and they refused to promote her. Over the years she's watched people half her age get promoted and they have less experience. I don't know if it was agism or what. Finally she just said screw it and applied for a job at my old college, and got it. She's starting from the ground up but she's making the same, and she has a greater chance for promotion as well. I hope things work out in your favor, I will have my fingers crossed.
that would have been a big-a$$ earthquake i hope none of you got damage. mommajb - that's always my reaction to an earthquake too "WTH is so-n-so doing to my such-n-such?!?! Oh, earthquake.":. but she should maybe be trying food since she's 7.5 months. i don't know.....:
that's all i have to say about that. oh, and i really hope karma does it's job
: it sucks, because now i feel like we can't trust anybody and have to be on gaurd about everyone.

. The day care thing is just really bad some days and then other days it doesn’t bother me so much. I think it was because DH was off from work this week. That is my personal pet peeve more than anything else in the world when he is off and DS is in daycare. As far as the self-feeding/spoon-feeding dilemma…what has worked for us is that at daycare he uses purees/spoons and at home he self-feeds. I also send things that can be easily broken up to daycare so they can either let him do it himself or break it into pieces for him (cereal bars, whole grain waffles, crackers, etc.) I also send really ripe pears and apples cut into pieces so that he can feed himself. So far no complaints…my fingers are crossed!!
welcome back!!
I’m so sorry about things at home. Why do the people we care about most hurt us so frequently? I am feelin’ your pain…though today is a good day, those days are few and far between it seems. I hope DP turns around soon and those teeth come in quickly! Poor LO Thanks for reporting that post…sooo annoying!!
: biting boy!! Oh, I thought he was done with biting! Not so much apparently…3 times in 2 days…I’m so sore! I got a wicked migraine last night and girly pain (probably from the stupid pelvic exam) and fell asleep at 7:30 pm after DS went to bed. DH didn’t wake me and let me sleep until 10:45 pm when DS woke to eat and then I went to my real bed not the couch! It was so nice to get some shut eye, especially because DS was up SO much last night. What is up with these LO’s and the nighttime feeding?! to you all! 
:
L just looks at her like what are you doing baby???
it's ok mama. We all forget things, like sunscreen. Besides, I'm sure she'll forget a hundred times when she's older! Like today when I slathered my son in it and I am red like a lobster! At least you didn't have it in your hands and forget! How dumb can I be??
