Guest guest Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 - Is your husband OK w/ being stay at home dad? That sucks about his job. Things are the same if not worse (as though they could get worse) with my husband. His new friend is V Odka... I feel like we are Russia in the COLD WAR.. We don't speak - only about the kids. He has been a quiet one lately, except last night he started turning mean and yelling. I am meeting a lawyer on Monday. I am scared but I will manage. I keep telling myself that I have handled everything thrown at me thus far and I will handle this but I am still a wreck over it. Thanks for caring enough to ask.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2003 Report Share Posted June 5, 2003 Rosemary and , good luck for the both of you with your upcoming new life. You'll be able to handle it. Sebastian is hungry all the time and despite Silke's fears that she might not have enough milk he has gained more than two pounds in less than two weeks at home. Fiona drove us crazy because she had no appettite, Sebastian drives us crazy with his appettite, it's hard for mother nature to do it right for us.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2003 Report Share Posted June 5, 2003 Rosemary, I am sorry to hear that it's back to where it was again with your husband. I am sure that is disappointing. The drinking issue is a real hard one. I was certainly hoping that things would improve. Good luck with the meeting with your lawyer. You definately seem like a survivor to me. I am sure you will get through this. We can't be there to help you get through this but don't forget we are here if you need to talk/write and our thoughts are defianately with you, pulling for you. My husband seems to be okay with being a stay at home dad. He certainly understands how trying Emma can be and how difficult dealing with her feeding issues will be but I think he is actually looking forward to spending more time with the girls. He is fried out at the moment and needs a break from what he was doing. He loves kids, is very creative and likes to get down to their level. He isn't always patient with them but we all have our moments of frustration with our kids, I don't think he is overly nasty with them or anything. His big issue is being organized. He is not. He never notices what time it is or things that need to be done around the house. Basically, he can only focus on one thing at a time. This will definately be an issue but hopefully he will adjust some or I'm going to be a pretty busy person at night. Talk to you later, - mom to Emma almost 3 years old w/cf and acid reflux and Isabelle 4 1/2 years old wo/cf ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2003 Report Share Posted June 6, 2003 My guess would be neither, maybe someone of a higher spirit......... : ) I am with you, I really don't know of many men that can multi task, at least when YOU need them to. My husband can't seem to do any multi tasking at home, but at work, he seems to be all about multi tasking (he's an ER nurse).
