You were right and I was wrong...mark it on the calendar

I had my conference call between the caseworker and the dads this morning. They expressed wanting more communication, and I basically said we go through spurts. So we've decided a weekly phone call and if they want to check in they can. But I'm not going to really initiate unless there is something going on. Like today when I'm scheduling the ultrasound, midwife appt and private hospital tour for the weekend they are visiting. Lots of communication today. I need to get my head out of my @$$ an be better. Thank you for your thoughtful insight I really needed a fresh perspective.

  • I'm glad the call went well and you were able to work out some guidelines. And I'll keep telling you this because it is true...you are amazing for doing this for the dads!

  • I'm glad you came to a reasonable agreement!  I didn't chime in because I just chalked it up to pg hormones :)

  • That's great! I think in all relationships, no matter the nature, we sometimes need to take a step back and re-evalute things. Don't be too hard on yourself. You are doing a truly amazing thing :)

  • puppies and rainbows all day long. :)

    I'm glad you three came up with an agreement. You were going a smidge-a-ma-roo Bump crazy on us but I'm glad you are back, haha.  Seriously, though, I hope this once a week call really makes it easier on everyone (mostly you). Keep up the great work and keep growing that baby!

  •  Glad you all came to an agreement. 

     Just remember if you won't iniate then expect them to and you can't complain about that, as this is what you all just agreed on. 

  • Sounds like you came to a mutually agreeable arrangement. As long as everyone holds up their end of the bargain it will hopefully make everyone feel comfortable.

    It's good you kind of brought it back around and realized that it's normal for them to want to hear about what's going on in the pregnancy.

  • A lot of it was hormones, some of it was realizing I was wrong for not telling them that I was sick, and then I dug my heels in. I also think that things get a little too much now I can go to the caseworker with a more clear conscience.
