WOH and sleeping issues
| Sun, 05-22-2005 - 10:34am |
We were at a dinner party last night at the home of one of dh's coworkers. They have 2 boys, 6 and 4. They have a bunch of sleeping issues (kids 'scared' at night, won't fall asleep in their own bed, won't go to bed without mom or dad cuddling them, etc.) The mom blames herself because since she works all day and misses them so much she tends to cuddle with them late at night and they fall asleep in a pile on the bed all together. She said that if she SAH, they wouldn't have the same issues.
I sah. For us, bed time is a rigid, welcome respite at the end of the day. Dh has no desire to keep them up either, lol.

I took off for Europe on a couple of whims before having children. It's not the sort of thing I need to do every year, or even every five years.
A client of mine used to work for an online travel broker, so as part of the deal, he got free flights on one particular airline. Every Friday after work, he and his wife went to Gate 7 at that airline's terminal, and wherever the flight was going, they went. One week it was Acapulco, the next Detroit, the next New Orleans. They are trying desperately to get pregnant now, and I doubt that they'll regret the lost Gate 7 flights, because they've already done it.
(I don't have much of a point after all, but I do like to share the Gate 7 story because I think it's cool)

There's always Viagra. ;-)
I meant, deferred until you can get a sitter, not for 20 years.
Great point. Meldi, your posts in this thread are all about not being judgmental, but you're being quite judgmental yourself. I love 2.5. I think it's my favorite age, with both sons. It's not because I'm pining for three years ago. It's just how I feel.
2.5yos say the *craziest* things. It's like when an alien lands on earth and finally learns enough English to tell you about his world. It's interesting, it's bizarre, it's funny, it's otherworldly in a lot of ways. It's sublime.
I don't say that to make you or your mother feel bad, and I don't say it as the result of some character flaw of my own. Honestly. It's really OK for me to feel this way.
