I want to kick him about this stupid bedtime business

Texting back and forth with FDH to find out if I should come over for my scheduled night tonight (which just so happens to be my birthday). I ask if he's too tired to hang out, he gives ambiguous answer. I ask that if I come over, could he please make sure bedtime is 9am for ME, for HIM, and for FSD3? He says that makes him feel controlled and manipulated and how could I possibly be OK imposing that restriction on our time together.

ARE. YOU. FUCKING. KIDDING. ME?!

Another sleepless night

Purely bitching to be bitching here -- FSD3 got up at 4am WAILING from a nightmare and could not be consoled for a solid hour. Then, she was a troll this morning on account of lack of sleep. And now I am troll -- I just wanted to SLAP her this morning while she was giving FDH lip about everything from breakfast to whether or not her socks actually matched.

I'm so glad he said it

"I know I'm being selfish when I let FSD3 stay up so late."

HALLELUJAH - I didn't have to be the one to say it. I didn't have to pick a fight or wait for another Attila the Hun event to point out to him that it's a BAD thing to let FSD3 stay up as late as she wants. I didn't even have to choose some other parenting flashpoint as a way to segue into the sleep issue. I am, in fact, dating a dad who knows exactly what parent fail does to a child.

Attila the Hun made a showing this weekend, but Father's Day was miraculously pleasant

FDH's birthday falls two days shy of Father's Day this year, which resulted in a protracted three days of ass-kissing. I spent his actual birthday cleaning his house (which I *never* do) so that he could throw his birthday party without much fuss on Saturday. Turned out there was a bit of fuss because FSD3 chose Saturday to turn into Attila the Hun.

And this just makes me mad (yeast infection rant -- TMI warning)

FDH's ex called this morning to go pick up FSD3 from daycare at 8:45 AM because FSD3 was complaining that its itchy when she pees. When he didn't pick up, she called HIS mom to go get FSD3. For once, FMIL exhibited restraint by calling FDH FIRST to ask if it was OK -- so that part I'm not mad about.

I invaded FDH's space, but FSD3 benefits... (vent)

My mother was in town this weekend, causing me to go into "Trying Too Hard" mode, which naturally leads to tension if not outright catastrophe. In this case, TTH struck FDH when I knew we'd be going to his apartment for dinner. As it turns out, FSD3 is going through a bed wetting and I-can't-sleep phase just as FDH is going into guilty daddy mode by letting her co-sleep. Which mean there are no two damp mattresses and not a clean bed sheet in that house as FDH "ran out of quarters" to do laundry and apparently couldn't be arsed to get to the bank for more.
