My BIOT

My maternity leave is up in a week and I just got word I'm going to overnights. Guess that's my calling to start applying elsewhere.

My BIOT - welfare rant

Today I went shopping and a lady In front of me made a big deal because she had to pay $3 out of pocket for her giant cart of groceries. Her bill was $259 and she seriously complained about $3 dollars. She realized she didn't have enough on her card. The perception of this lady was bad, she had 6 kids with her and one of them was pregnant.

I look down at my cart and only have a few items and I don't buy anything unless it's on sale or I have a coupon. When I do shop I make sure I don't break my fragile bank account.

Just a random vent about the future

Dh and I got on the subject of BS2months and SS12.5. He said he wanted to take ss out and do something with just him because he might be feeling left out due to baby. I said that was fine for now but eventually he will have to take both kids along.

He didn't understand why. His thought was bs lives with us and would always get daddy time and ss would get individual dad time when he is with us eowe. I tried explaining that is bs always see when ss comes over dad takes ss out and leave bs home, bs will start to resent ss and feel second class.

Ss annoying me

I'm very irritable right now. BS 6 weeks is colic and won't let me have a second to myself. Only time I get a minute is in the shower with the fan on.

Well this past weekend started skid summer visitation, 3 weeks, and SS12.5 is annoying me with petty stuff.

We go out to eat tonight, ss thinks he can order a soda. Nope nope, not until you learn how to brush your teeth. He never brushes at BMs and this results in his extremely stained teeth. Make me upset, I had crooked teeth as a child and would have done anything for his straight teeth - take care of them.

First time vent about DH

I have never really complained out dh on here but I think he has changed since the baby. Our marriage was perfect, we never had big arguments. Not we argue over the care of the baby. I have DS 5 weeks all day while dh is at work (dh has a nice sit down office job). When dh comes home from work he will only care for bs if I ask him too. We have talked about this a week ago when I said I shouldn't have to ask him to help me. Last time I checked it took both of us to make bs, I should not be the sole care giver. Today he changed 1 diaper, because I took a quick shower.

Keeping it classy.

My SIL has a SIL that is a photographer and she will be visiting in a few days. SIL wants to get pictures of all the kids, that way we can give it to FIL for Father's Day. SIL called BM, Bm likes to look nice in front of dh family so if we want something this is how we do it. SIL asked to have ss12 for a few hours and they worked out the logistics. I guess also during the conversation BM asked SIL if she could give her names of families there where in need of donations (SIL is a social worker).

Just a random vent of dirty people

I was taking a nap today and my husbands phone receives a text. I looked at it and it was from BM. Before anyone blasts me for looking at his phone just know we look at each other's phone all the time. We have iPhones and use it as our main source of internet, our computer now collects dust. If his phone is dead and charging he will use mine for entertainment and vice versa. If I receive a text while he is using mine, he will read it and respond for me - exactly what I say.
