lou: DH is being a bit of a tool again. I organised for my SIL to take Chase for two hours tomorrow night so that we could have some alone time. Tells me its his 'friends' birthday whom I'm sure he hasn't seen or spoken to in months (unless over call of duty) and that he wanted to go out on Saturday night. You'd think the stupid bugger would learn but apparently he is a moron. So I say, ok thats fine go to your friends house. I thought it wasn't costing me any money and we were going to spend time together that night anyway. Then the kicker, they are going out clubbing and he needs money. WTF. Him losing his job pretty much ate up our savings so here I am trying to get us back on track. I manage to save $200 last week and now he wants to take $100 to take clubbing. If I had a spare $100 I'd get chase or me or both of us some clothes or a elmo toy that I want to get chase, at least if I had $100 Id have something to show for it. But at the end of the day H is going to come home with nothing to show for $100 except a hangover then proceede to most likely sleep off his hangover all father's day. Making himself wake up for lunch at his mothers where he will pretend to be the perfect father then make us go home early because he wants to sleep off his hangover. I know this will happen because its happened before, many many times. I don't know why he 'has' to go clubbing. Why cant he just say happy birthday dude but I can't afford to go clubbing cos i have a wife and baby im supposed to be supporting?? gah I should have put this in the vent section....

on the Chase side, my boy is beautiful although the growing of his two teeth has messed with my ability to put him to sleep without holding him. The musical seahorse is no longer useful He was so happy to see me when I picked him up after work. And then he cried whenever I left his sight. Sigh, at least someone around here loves me Chase used to click when I picked him up sometimes and I kept thinking I'd broken him but he still works

sammie: i totally agree Sarah and Mel are champions for having 4 kids. I looked after my friends 19month old and Chase on tuesday and by the end of the day I was so exhausted. I can't imagine doing that every day with more than two. Not to say Sammie that you and Rhi and Lou and Kate aren't hard workers because damn 2 kids is a mission as well. (I hope i didnt leave a 2x mummy out...I feel like a I did...hmm...)

jaki: lol mr wyatt i think i want to try giving Chase foods of his own to hold too just so he has both. Is it just steamed vegetables that you start off giving them, like really soft vegetables??
