My gosh, such a good looking boy you got there volley!

What the hell? Out of nowhere Richard just decided he wanted to fight about me not having a job. He doesn't believe me that I'm having a hard time finding a part-time job. True, it's not like I've gone out wandering around to hand out resumes, but that's just not all that do-able with Aden, and since the snow just melted a few days ago... yeah, I wasn't that eager to walk around town for hours. And even if I were to do that, the amount of places that are actually hiring wouldn't even be worth walking around all day. He thinks I'm just all "I can't do this", "I can't do that"... but that's not the reason I can't find a job. He apparently thinks everyone in the world is as capable as he is to do everything. And I am not. I can't do manual labour-type jobs, so I can't work in factories or anything. He thinks I should just suck it up, but... even if one of those places was to hire me, I'd probably be fired in a matter of days (or hours, even), because I'm just not capable. I'm a retail kind of person. And there are just no available jobs like that around. Grrrr... I don't know why he decided he wanted to fight about that just now. We were having such a good day too.

Richard wants Lukas to sit naked for a little bit... to "air out" his private bits. lol I was like "sure, but you hold him... and if he pees on you, don't make me help you. " rofl

lol If you have a fleece blanket (polyester fleece) it'll help keep everything from getting wet underneath him.

[Hugo Chaboe]

me and my siblings were all whoops babies, so was my husband! Just wondering, how many people are breastfeeding or formula feeding?

I'm breastfeeding and supplementing with formula

[PetitChat]

I breastfed Aden until he was about 9 months, when we started to wean him. He was pretty much off the boob completely by 10 months.

[SpiderMum]

I'm breastfeeding. We've been playing with solids now, but she doesn't really eat any of them...just squishes them between her fingers and makes a mess. lol

[Dr Thirteen Hadley]

I'm breastfeeding also. I was going to supplement with formula and switch back and forth... But Richard didn't want to, so I told him I'm not pumping lol

[Hugo Chaboe]

@petit:maybe it was bothering him all day, thats the difference between men and women, if something bothers a girl she will let you know, boys let it build up and then lash out at the most random times!

[PetitChat]

Playing with food is an important part of learning to eat it, I think. You'll never stop them from making a mess, so why not just let them go for it, you know? We bought these rice cake things for Aden, and when he has one, he breaks it up into little pieces all over his tray and THEN eats it. I don't know why he does it, but it's funny to watch him. He still really likes to squish up his food (which is not always fun to clean up) and rub it all over the place and see what it does.

[Dr Thirteen Hadley]

Oh, and spidermum... Lukas can roll over, lol and he scoots so much he'd be on the carpet in no time. rofl

I have to supplement, she isn't gaining enough weight for the doctors so i have to give her at least 4ozs a day.

[Dr Thirteen Hadley]

Mea; makes sense! Lukas is gaining lots of weight. He was 8lbs 10 oz at birth. He's about 19 pounds now, at 3 months. Big boy, haha.



My chubberz.

[PetitChat]

@ Mea- It was out of nowhere, definitely. He was joking saying we have a ton of money and the only reason we haven't bought a house yet is to inspire me to work. It was all in good fun, and then he just kept bugging me... so I said I didn't want to have that conversation AGAIN, and he did. Like... it's a weekly thing. I look online for jobs and in both local papers EVERY WEEK, and there's nothing. I don't really qualify for ANYTHING that is available, and even when I do, the job is usually filled by the time the paper comes out! So stressful.

[Dr Thirteen Hadley]

My brother in law got his face beat in by a bat. The idiot deserved it, too. I... Don't like him. Stupid child molester evil

[Dr Thirteen Hadley]

Lukas loves to stand. I love seeing his face light up when he does.
