We took the skids (5 and 2) to a New Years party last night at a friend's house. One of our friends at his son there who's about 8, and the skids spent the night playing video games with him.

Well, both the skids have started yelling "yeah, baby!" and "I'm ready for this, baby" and also "awesome, baby, yeah!"

I didn't notice until this morning when they wanted to play a video game together and they both started yelling at the screen--something they've never done before.

Anyway, it's hysterical to me, but I'm not sure what DH will make of it. Any similar stories?

Its 3 am and SS2 just woke up for the 6th time. He was rolling around in his crib crying for medicine. Literally. He told me he needed medicine four times. He cries at night all the time and days random body parts hurt. Knees. Feet. Ankles. Ears. It can be anything. After tonight I am beginning to thonk he is experiencing phantom pains from withdrawals from whatever medicine she is giving him.

I am about to blow up.

I have told my mother five hundred times that the boys have to eat normal food. They cannot eat chocolate cake and f*ckn candy all day.

Well, I just busted her giving them chocolate cake for lunch.

She tells me the pieces are small.

I tell her I don't care.

I retreat to stop myself from screaming at her in front of the kids.

But maybe I shouldn't. Maybe I should blow up on her in front of the kids. Maybe I just let it fly.

After telling DH that he would not be seeing the boys at all for the next three weeks if he doesn't agree to take them this weekend (which is completely against the CO), BM has now changed to an all new bizarre claim.

The following nonsense:

I didn't mean that you would not see them. I meant that you would not have them overnight at all for the next three weeks. If that is what you want, then I don't have a problem keeping them the first weekend as well.
