So, DH and I aren't really speaking
Just the essentials. I was so mad that I slept in the guest bedroom last night. The cats chose sides: one stayed with him, one went with me.
On the plus side (?), DH now says that he's looking forward to our appt. tomorrow. Considering that he initially refused to go, I think that's progress.
If I can just avoid killing him between now and then, we'll be on the right track.
Re: So, DH and I aren't really speaking
BOO @ sleeping separately.
Yay for the appt and not killing your H.
geez. i hope the appt will provide some hope for you two.
Me too. Over the weekend, things were going well and I was hoping that we had turned a corner. Yeah, no, apparently not entirely.
That's a plus. In the mean time I'd buy treats for the opposing cat, so he comes on over to your side.
Seriously though, I hope things get better.
^^^This 100% - we were there in October, and things are 1000% better right now. Our therapist was amazed at the change between December and January.
Kuus, are you Bump stalking me?
That was what set it off this time, yes. It was longer than what I posted, but that's the gist of it.
My issue is that DD gets tired at the same times every day. That's when she needs to nap. If she doesn't nap, then she is overtired, cranky, and unhappy. And she doesn't sleep well at night.
Kids are different. Some do better with a routine, some don't seem to care. DD functions better in a routine, and DH is basically like, "TS, I have things to do." My point is that he has three full days a week to do whatever, plus any time that DD isn't napping on the 2 days that he has her. She takes 3 naps, for a total of about 2 hrs. 20 min./day, so that leaves a lot of time to get things done.
He seems to see it as some kind of power struggle, I see it as ensuring that DD's basic needs are met. So we were both really pissed, and I decided that separate corners was a better strategy than lying in bed arguing in between DD's wakings.
Only a little, to a leave creepy gifts on your doorstep extent but not to a kill you and your family extent.
I can see both your points on this one. It's a matter of perspective on whose whims and natural patterns are more important and who should be the one who caters. There's an equally good argument for the kid fitting the parent's schedule and for the parent working around the kid's natural rhythms.
