F*&! daylight savings

[frogprof]

Ugh.

 

[roxiegomez]

@frogprof For real had no idea how much one hour could screw up the entire day

 

[ayryil]

@roxiegomez Like WHY was this one hour change so freaking dramatic

 

[johnny394]

@frogprof Yep. Fuck them in the fucking ear.

On top of his routine being royally fucked, he's got a cold, we've just had to stop swaddling because he's started showing signs of turning over and his first tooth appeared.

The universe can eat my ass right now.

@johnny394 When it rains, it pours ammirite

 

[johnny394]

@victory76 You certainly are my friend.

On the positive side, I reached out for help and my sister is coming to collect him and have him overnight. His first ever night away from me.

I'm skipping between 3 feelings about this:

1). Omg! A night off, sleep! Sweet beautiful uninterrupted SLEEP

2). I'm the worst mother in the world. I'm sending him away. And while he has a cold.

3). I'm going to miss him SO BAD

I've been assured thus is a normal parental response.

@johnny394 My 13 week old has spent 2 nights so far with his Gigi, and I can't help but feel 1) proud of myself for letting him spend the night with someone else and 2) like a bad mom for offloading him on my mom twice so early in his life.

 

[johnny394]

She took him a couple of hours ago. I just called for an update and he's miserable. Cried the entire time. Feel so much worse now.

@johnny394 Totally normal! But it will be just what you need!

@johnny394 I think it’s so healthy for parents to have their kids get accustomed to staying with trusted caretakers! We did this for the first time when my son was 3m old and it was such a needed break for me, but as a bonus he is now 13m and really great about staying over at his grandparents’ houses. The first time is the hardest!

 

[johnny394]

@emmy_88 It didn't work unfortunately. He cried all the time and refused to eat (really unlike him, he's usually a gannet) at my sisters so she brought him home. She had him for roughly 5 hours, so he was miserable for 5 hours. I only slept for an hour of that as I thought I had the whole night. He came back later than his normal bedtime as well, and was so excited to see us and hungry that he didn't go down for another 2 hours. All in all it was a bit of a shitshow. Ain't parenting fun? Lol

@johnny394 I feel your rage and I feel like we are kindred spirits haha. Time change and rsv have hit my 1 year old and me hard. Fucking bullshit!!

 

[johnny394]

@fox4god It's shit, ain't it. My poor little man is worse today and so am I. I hope you and your bubba get well soon, and that me and my bubba do too. Hugs x

 

[fox4god]

@johnny394 Thanks same to you! Sending good sleep vibes your way because I don't know about you but our sleep is wrecked.

 

[johnny394]

@fox4god Sleep? I'm sorry, I'm not sure I know what that is, I mean I've heard of the concept I think

 

[academicexploration]

@johnny394 Add teething to that list for us :/

 

[boracayangel]

@frogprof It's been the longest day in creation already and it's only 9am.

 

[katrina2017]

@frogprof I thought we did away with this shit. Luckily it’s affecting us more than baby. My 7 week old finally went to sleep before 9 and slept 10 hours last night.

 

[cleo721]

@katrina2017 OMG, I hate you.

My 4wk slept for about 4 or 5 hrs last night... because we both fell asleep while nursing.

@frogprof This has been tough. Ready for dinner at 430 pm and eating breakfast at 430 am I’m dying
