Thomas, stop complaining. You are a mod now. A mod's life is supposed to be improving always (see: Matt, j).

It is always improving, but there is always room for more improvement, and dissatisfaction at the pace the improvements happen.

(upside, I finally got off my duff and ordered the tools and parts I need to fix the wife's A/C) finally.

Thomas is a mod? When did that happen? Hope it doesn't deter him from his haiku-creation.

I have been at work since 5:30 this morning and I won't get out until after 6. Then I have a long overdo haircut. I will get home probably around 8:30 and I have to be at work around 5:30 again tomorrow morning. Life is hard.

She'll be two in September. We switched her to a toddler bed which was disastrous. As for sleep training, one of us (mostly me) rocks her to sleep after her bath.
...aaaand now I have printer problems. The big barcode printer is going haywire. ****.


this is totally none of my business, but you might want to try another method. it might really improve your childs, and subsequently your, sleeping habits. PM or FB be if you like, or better yet, the stitch wife for best info. again, i dont want to sound pretentious or preachy, and to each their own, but the offer is there if you like.

also, we had a rough time with the bed switching with the oldest, so we kept the next 2 in the pack and play until they were ready for a real mattress. worked out much better. again, just our experience.

You remind me of Jamie because you are both spoiled rotten.

a little wife problems

my wife seems to be depressed. I think hitting 40, and having the twins starting school, is hitting her now. she is having trouble getting her housework done, she has little energy, she is spending her days playing vidio games and facebook/UrbanMom. which means that either I ahve to do my work and hers, or let the house become a pigsty. but more than that, I am worried about her happiness. both of her parents suffered from depression, but they also had sucky lives, I didn't think of this as a hereditary thing, I was thinking that they were brought up poorly and fucked up their lives.

so, I am not sure what to do. pushing her to talk to her GP and find a therapist, or just trying to push her to get back to routine. anyway, not happy.

Find her someone to talk to. Most importantly, this person shouldn't be you. If its you, then its just her husband harping on her over and over again. Just keep up with the reinforcement (love you, you're doing great, that sort of ****) and get her into a therapist. Stats show that its often as beneficial as taking pills. See if you can get any recommendations from friends and family. Also, have her hit the GP and get a physical. Check out the blood levels and **** like that.

Sorry to hear globe. A significant other who is down and out is hard to deal with and not take personally. For me at least. You've been mentioning your wife not doing housework often recently. Maybe she just has too much time on her hands? My girlfriend has been in a funk for so many reasons lately and I found something that has made her feel better. We have been taking classes together, like art, cooking, I've beengiving her guitar lessons, etc. on days we normally wouldn't to break the routine a bit. It has been both fun and educational. We are very happy when we do things like that together. I have even gone to functions with her that I normally wouldn't such as rooftop drinks at an inconvenient friend's house during the week and such.

thanks - yeah, she has too much time on her hands, but she also deals with 3 kids, and I think that the issue is that it is sinking in that she will never have the career she invisioned when she was younger. she traded that for kids. and now I think that might be hard on her.


anyway, any advice welcome, frankly. this isn't my strong suit.

a little wife problems

I think hitting 40, and having the twins starting school, is hitting her now. she is having trouble getting her housework done, she has little energy, she is spending her days playing vidio games and facebook/UrbanMom. which means that either I ahve to do my work and hers, or let the house become a pigsty. but more than that, I am worried about her happiness. both of her parents suffered from depression, but they also had sucky lives, I didn't think of this as a hereditary thing, I was thinking that they were brought up poorly and fucked up their lives.

jeez, that sounds rough globe. from what i understand, depression can be very much passed down, despite significant differences in quality of lifestyle.

obviously, i dont know either of you well, but it sounds like she could use all the emotional support you can give her, which im sure you already do, and a good therapist to help her get through this. its a very hard time, hitting that age, and not having taking care of your kids being the focal point of your life, at least not in as far as what takes up your day. so it sounds like she is struggling with how to handle that shift.

and like you said, she may now ne realizing what she traded carrer wise for. that is much easier to accept when one is involved in the kids needs day to day. now that that is changing, the fact her career was affected is much more in her face.

im not an expert, but it really seems like she could benefit from a good therapist. also, it is not too late for her to get back on the career path.

my wife gets much more done around the house when she is also taking care of the kids. you might think having less to do, would make it easier to take care of other stuff, but emotionally, when there is that kind of shift, apparently, that is not the case.

best of luck to you and your family globe.

Got an email in the morning as im getting ready for work saying I'm to be staffed in Denver again for a three week mini project.

I was so angry and livid that I threw my badge across the room and broke it. I had complete road rage while driving and I even managed to drift my rental car in the parking lot as I turned and hit a puddle of water.

I was screaming and shouting in my car the entire time.

Wow. **** this bullshit. I'm so fed up of this city, this damn client, and of being told to expect one thing and getting the complete opposite. Seriously **** this *******.bullshit. this is the third time they've dicked me over like this. Three weeks in a row.

If I didn't have a contract tying me to the company then this would be the catalyst prompting me to search for another job.
