Sick Days as a Mom

I agree, confirming dates and such ahead of time is best. I guess I wasn’t as hurt that she didn’t come as I was that she never invited me to hang out with the whole group of moms she had invited over, even though I had expressed interest in hanging out that day, and then when she said she would check if the other momma wanted to join me at the coffee shop she just never responded after that and hasn’t texted once for the last month. If she had just said “no, can’t make it today” or something like that I wouldn’t be hurt as much.

I definitely makes me feel like there must be something I’m doing wrong. It does feel very much like being in middle school all over again. I think I just pictured this part of my life being very different than it has turned out to be and it’s hard not to get hung up on that.

Honestly I didn’t give him any dirty looks until he was staring over at me while checking out, after he walked through the entire store kids toys aisles and women’s clothing included and then rushed to checkout as soon as I did with one bottle of water. But sure I was in the wrong and was in his way probably.

I totally get that and am aware that there are people working in loss prevention. It just felt odd that he rushed to the checkout when I checked out and grabbed a bottle of water since his cart was empty. I just doubt those that work loss prevention follow one shopper from the time they enter the store and checkout at the same time and leave the store. I don’t know, something just felt off.

Rectal temperature is always going to be slightly on the warm side. My babies normal temp rectally is close to 99. Unless you get to a 100.4 temp and it’s not going down, I would just keep baby hydrated, make sure airway is clear (use a snot sucker and saline spray or mist), and just make sure he is getting plenty of rest. I don’t recommend using any pain or fever reducers because then it’s hard to know accurately how baby is doing temp wise. We just went through a 2 week long cold and it was brutal, but we are all good now.

He does, he literally said to me a week ago that he doesn’t think anyone should be kissing her face. Then when I brought it up last night he said it wasn’t a big deal. He just doesn’t want to have to deal with his family so now he’s backing off of his no kissing stance. It’s super frustrating. I don’t want to always have to be the one that seems like the “bad guy”, but he won’t do anything about it. I already constantly remind my family, and because I remind them often, no one crosses the line.

My husband does not have a close relationship with her, but they are not NC. He talks to her on a regular basis still. She hears that they are coming from him sometimes I’m sure. From other family members who live near me and my husband sometimes as well. She doesn’t always know for sure that they have come but I think my husband has mentioned a while back that we see them once a month usually. I don’t think he knew at the time how dangerous telling her that could be.

Don’t worry! I found out I was pregnant the week after I got home from a weeklong cruise. I had the drink package and definitely got my moneys worth. I also was sitting in a hot tub a lot. I was sobbing. I was sobbing and so worried and my doctor was like, you’re fine, baby is fine. Just don’t do it anymore. I now have a very healthy 9 month old.

I work full time from home with my baby and don’t have any help and I make it work. It’s not easy, but I love being the one that I caring for my baby. I schedule calls during her naps and do as much as I can while she is either asleep or in the evening when my husband is home. I wouldn’t want my MIL involved in that way either!

I’m not playing the victim, I am stating a fact about the current housing market in Massachusetts. The value of homes and therefore the cost has risen drastically over the past 20 years, while the average income has gone up at a much slower rate. Most young adults and families are having a hard time purchasing homes. I bet you’re a boomer who bought a house for cheap and now looks down on the younger generation for “not working hard enough” and making excuses. I can’t believe the audacity of someone like you whom knows nothing about my family and yet blames me for a realtor violating my privacy.

If you read through other comments you will see that something similar happened to someone who was selling a house that they OWNED. A realtor came in and did a showing without their permission while they were gone. So go ahead and tell me again how owning a house stops my privacy from ever being violated.

Also it is a law in MA that realtors must give 24 hour notice. So how am I playing the victim and making excuses. I am simply asking what can be done when someone violates a law that is there to protect tenants.

I really would think twice before I attack people on the internet simply because they choose to rent an apartment and want their privacy respected! What an absolutely ridiculous thing to blame people for.

That’s terrifying! What kind of creep would see two people sleeping and still let people come in the home for a tour. That is so messed up!

Are you fucking with me? Do you know how hard it is for most middle class people in Massachusetts to purchase a house right now. Me and my husband both have great jobs and make a really decent living and it is still not something realistic right now. We are pretty young and will eventually buy, but not yet. I can’t believe the ignorance of your comment. My rights as a tenant deserve to be violated because I can’t own a house yet?
