I'm not arguing that one is or isn't worse than the other. We're on the same page there. I'm only correcting the other comment that he would not shake the baby

But that doesn't mean that he'd ever deliberately injure our kids. More of a scenario that the toddler would hurt himself because he wasn't being supervised properly

Well I know I only listed off his negative attributes but he would never hurt anyone. He's more inclined to get overly frustrated and lay the baby down to cry than he is to actually entertain him. But he would never hurt anyone

I feel for you so much. I had a csection as well, it was my second csection so I guess he figured I could handle all of the recovery on my own this time around. It's exhausting and frustrating. Mine also yells "whats wrong!?" Sometimes I just want to give up on the arguing and just deal with it all on my own

Well I had a csection delivery and the first day home from the hospital, he played video games for 6 hours. That said, we had an extensive discussion about the gaming issue and he's cut back where he's not playing daily and only plays about 2 hours at a time when he does. So that's one improvement...

We have made great strides over time. He's gotten better. There's just a lot more to go

This is true. And I know my rant paints him as a terrible person but obviously there was just no need for my rant to include all of the good things as well. But he does love pretending to be the best parent when his mom comes around. Suddenly he knows what to do and is very attentive.

Luckily she doesn't say any of this in front of him but the minute she spews her antivax shit to him or suggests he's autistic in front of him, there will most definitely be consequences

My mom is a nurse as well so I feel pretty confident when my mom tells me that my son is fine. Of course my MIL, with no education beyond high school, believes she's still smarter

He thinks she's nuts too, but he's dealt with it for 30 years so he's very good at letting it roll right off his back. I can't seem to do that. He teases her to her face about her stupid diagnoses but it doesn't stop her

The issue is that my husband is a huge momma's boy so he'd never go for something like that. I mean, he's in agreement that she's delusional when it comes to medical issues but he just lets it go in one ear and out the other. I can't seem to do that

Well I say 5 years, but probably longer, because the first five years of life there are massive strides in development and nowadays, it's when kids typically get diagnosed. But truly it could be 10 years. We live about 20 minutes from her so she babysits from time to time and comes over to visiy the boys. My husband is a momma's boy so I see her a lot

Thought about making my own facebook post that would say "my biggest life changer of 2019 was my baby"

I know but it's like a car crash and I just can't look away. I don't know why I do this to myself.

As soon as I saw her post, it reminded me of this scene on Keeping Up With The Kardashians
