OT - DD's verbal skills

ksmom14's picture

So DD will be 3 in just a few more weeks. She has a good vocabulary, can understand everything I tell her, and she can communicate to me and DH well. The only problem is that her pronunciation of words is terrible. Most people who are not used to her would have a tough time figuring out what she's saying because she doesn't pronounce most words correctly (although she's consistent in the way she pronounces them).

Skid job vs visitation

DH is primary of skids, so they go to BM's every other weekend Thursday afterschool to Monday morning. SS16 just got his first job (which is AMAZING because this kid is totally unmotivated in life and we're all hoping that having a job and making his own money will help him grow up a bit).

Vent about DH being rude...

BM gets the skids Thursday after school (picks up at our house) until Monday before school (drops off skids at school).

In the summer SS16 takes his XBOX to BM's since there is no school. Well lately BM has been bringing SS16 to our house Monday mornings to drop of the XBOX. He opens the garage and puts it in the garage, and then leaves and she takes him to school.

During the time that skids are gone, sometimes I go out in the public space (open windows) not fully dressed, and DH and I don't have to be quiet in the bedroom (which is right next to the garage). 

On repeat...not my monkey...not my circus...

I'm on the schools parent contact list for the skids, no biggie.

Got an email from SD12's teacher, she has a 20% in the class currently, teacher wants her to go to Saturday school if possible (she's going to BM's this weekend which is an hour away).

Asked DH if he saw the email, he said no, told him what it said. He checked her other class grades ALL FAILING. He blocked her phone except for phone calls and text messages. She asked IMMEDIATELY why it was blocked,he told her, she said she was working on it, he said he'd unblock once her grades were up.

Should I let DH take SD to the concert over me?

**UPDATE: I just realized that this concert is actually on a Monday night, which...1. actually means DH and I potentially won't go but 2. now makes more sense for SD12 to not go

DH is really into rock music, is really big on going to concerts too.

SD12 looks up to DH so much, and listens to all the music he does (even some she shouldn't be based on the content). SD has been asking to go to concerts for a couple years now, and gets all mopey any time DH and I go, we've been to maybe 3 since she's started asking to go too.

OT - Simple meals for 2

So skids go to BM's every other weekend, Thursday evening to Monday morning.

I try to make some yummy dinners for us since we don't have kids to feed (they're not overly picky but I do try to make things I know they'll eat). Well older kids...DD2 doesn't count in my book because I always have to feed her separately anyways because she has to eat ASAP when she gets home at 5:15.

So since I'm pregnant about to pop (hopefully) does anyone have any yummy, yet simple meals for two they can share?

OT - 38 weeks pregnant, I want this baby OUT...like YESTERDAY

ksmom14's picture

Just a vent, I'm huge and uncomfortable and sick of everyone asking me when I'm due, or acting surprised I'm still at work.

I haven't had a decent nights sleep in weeks, either getting up to pee constantly, being in pain, or having contractions.

DH keeps wanting to encourage the baby out with doing the deed and I want this baby out, but have NO INTEREST in that and I'm ready to castrate him lol.

Ughhh I hope she comes soon, I can't wait to have my body back!

OT - Explaining to DD why skids have a different mom?

ksmom14's picture

DD is almost 2, and doesn't understand yet, but I imagine as she gets older she'll start to ask questions as to why the skids leave every other weekend, and why they have a different mom.

So what is your advice/experience on explaining to a very young child that basically DH was married before to BM but it didn't work out, all the while not making her question or worry about my and DH's marriage?

OT - Potty Training - Need advise please!

ksmom14's picture

DD is 20 months old...I know it's a bit on the early side to start potty training her, but I feel like she may be ready. Also she's a diaper digger (with poop) so I'd like to potty train sooner rather than later, plus we just had to transition her to a toddler bed because she was starting to try to climb out of her crib.
