Hey sorry it's been a while. But we've had a busy couple weeks. I'm doing okay. Just trying to spend as much time with the kids as I can. Dds birthday was last Wednesday. We got to go to the Science Museum. It was a blast I hadn't been since I was pregnant with her. She loved it and it's her new favorite place! I can't believe I have a 4 year old she started pre k last week as well. Thursday we start tumbling classes. I can't believe how grown up she's becoming. Ds is learning new words everyday. He's such a little ham. He's still refusing to learn to walk but he's definitely pulling up a bunch more. We are about to have to schedule surgery for him for undescended testicle. So I'm a little nervous about that but I'm sure it'll be fine. Now as for me health-wise I'm okay but mentally not at my best point. I'm bipolar and I can't seem to get my anger under control very much the past couple weeks. But at the same time the stuff I'm angry about is Justified. Like I'm hurt the DH parents didn't reach out to tell DD happy birthday. But yet they threw a fit to be involved in the DS's birthday. It is not okay but of course I'm not allowed to say any of this to my husband. Because that's his parents and I should respect my elders. Sorry was not raised like that. But his parents have free reign to talk crap on me. I have also decided I am not speaking to my mother until she acknowledges that she is a negative person. Every time I see her she points out I've gained weight she told me I look like a boy and I have gray hair. I know that may not seem like a lot but I'm very self-conscious about my hair so all that hurts badly. But of course I bring it up to her and I'm delusional she never said any of that. But I have aunts and SIL that heard her say it. So of course I probably shouldn't have I know but I lost my cool. But at the same time I know it's my mental health that's letting all this get to me as bad as it is. But there's not really much I can do because I am taking my meds other than let it run its course. But all things considered I think I'm doing pretty well. I know I'm at least enjoying time with my kids and that's all that really matters to me.
Thank you for the update.
Keep focusing on your LOs
Bless your heart❤️
Thanks for the update i’m glad you are enjoying your time with the little ones that’s what matter most as far your mother in law or anybody that make you feel bad don’t pay attention to them I know is easier saying than doing I been there but you know what just cut them from your life you don’t need them if anything they should try to make you feel better the way they treat you is not fair so just cut them from your life prayers your way🙏🙏
I was just thinking abot you and asked a few ppl about you the other day. Im glad to see your still coming to give us updates and that your gettjng lots of time spent with your children.
As for the negative people in your life cut them out you dont ha e time for that ! Ive started doing that this last year when people piss me off or put me down i dont waste my energy on them. Being silent is even more powerful then giving them the satisfaction of a reaction! I have saved my self lots of energy that way and kept away from people who dont have anything positive to add to my life .
Your an amazing person 🙏🏾
Wow, your mom really needs to back up a minute and realize how horrible she's treating you. I'm so sorry 😢 she has no right to berate you and make you feel so small. I hate that for you.
And the clear favoritism with your in laws is not okay, either. There's favoritism with the grandparents of my children, too, and my kids seem to draw the short straw every single time. So I know how that hurts as a momma to see that. I have yet to find a way to correct the issue, so all I can do is commiserate.
BUT!!! You're spending time with your little loves! Sounds like a very busy but fun time. Especially the Science Museum! I love that place (I'm a transplant from Oklahoma, living in Colorado currently lol). You just keep it coming with the happy memories and spending time with your family. Glad you are doing well, even if emotionally/mentally struggling a bit.
I'm sorry your family is being assholes. Dont you worry A THING about what they, or ANYONE for that matter, has to say girl. You just focus on you, your health (mental & physical) and your babies. That's all that matters right now. Keep enjoying that quality time with the kiddos mama!
By the way, it was GREAT to get an update from you! Thanks for posting!
I’m so glad you’re getting to enjoy time with your kiddos. It’s so sad the way your family is treating you. You so don’t deserve that. I’m sorry mama. 😢
Well I’m happy you’re enjoying some time with the kids. I’m sure they are enjoying it also!! As far as the other stuff with your mom and dh don’t let it get to u too much. I know easier said then done but just focus on the kids and feeling well for them. Good luck
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
Thank you for your update. I think about you often.
I am glad you’re getting to spend so much time with your kids. I hope your son’s surgery goes well.
As for people that are being negative in your life. I hope they shape up.
