What are some qualities you enjoy about your DH?

I've been reading a lot lately about dh that are the problem in these scenarios. It gets me thinking about my dh and what I enjoy about him. I am happy that BM has never had him by his an parts, dh hates Bm more then I do. For the most part dh will also punish ss when he is in the wrong. Dh is also a hard working man and has always provided for his family.

How about you?

So we just got back from vacation, it was meh for me. I had to spend I week at MIL house (with ss13) who enables all her kids. Ss13 went down to her house first with nephew 10. Side not: SIL is still mad at me that we could not bring her nephew home with us. She wanted us to fit 5 people in a car for a three day trip home. BS1 had a giant car seat and there was no room, yet I'm the bad guy.

Ignore your father on Fathers Day

So it is 4:20pm and ss13 has not once said "happy Father's Day" to DH. My nephew that is 10 remembered to call his dad this morning and my niece who is 20 also called her dad. But oh no, can't expect ss13 to say a damn word. I reminded him twice and even talked about the subject I front of him casually and still nothing. Somedays I just think he is arrogant or stupid.

Poor guy

A co worker of mine is currently starting a custody battle with his ex. He has a daughter that is 6, and supposedly she said she wanted to live with him. The only thing negative he can say about the mother is that she is a liar. He works retail hours as well. I take in all this info and just think, poor guy you are wasting your money.

Vaccinations causes autism, what?

I was having a heated debate last night with an old friend. He got a girl he knew for only a month pregnant and now that baby is 3 months, not long enought to really get to know each other's values.

Anyways, the debate was that this BM believed the MMR vaccination causes Autism. I wanted to slap her silly, but I couldn't.

Attachment issues with BS

I am having attachment issues with BS1. I spend two days alone with him, my husband spends another two, and he's in daycare 3 days a week. Whenever it's all three of us together, my husband is more so the main care taker. I'll do all the bathing, feeding, cooking, cleaning, I just don't overalls enjoy that one on one time. I like to be alone.

The days I am home alone with him, I sometimes find myself crying if he is having a tantrum day (one after another). I had post partum depression and I'm not sure if it has gone away or if this is just my personality.

Birthday party and family drama

It's been a week since BS1. A lot of crazy crap went down.

None of the family directly related to the child rapist came to the party, completely fine with me.

My grandma told me that I've always had a weight issue, "gee, thanks grandma". I threw away my food and tried to ignor her the rest of the party. I was a size 5 in high school, so no, not always.

Same grandma told me I needed to have another child right away. When I said maybe 5 years away, she said it wasn't fair to BS1. This is my family that believes in welfare as a way of living.
