Why is it that some people will never say anything bad about kids? I mean, I of course know people who hate children and will go on and on about sticky fingers, and screaming and such. But it seems like when I say my son is being a pain in the ass to someone - they always want to answer with "oh no he's not." - And usually, I will admit, it's the people who don't have children.
Um, yes he is. I love my son. He is an adorable little boy who makes me laugh. I would give up my life for him without hesitating for a moment. But he can still be a pain in the ass. Is he worth it? Sure. But is he still annoying at times? Yes. Yes he is.
He's been acting out a lot these last few days - and I really think it's just because there's been so many changes. Daddy's been home for the last few days (and then was suddenly MIA today when he had to go back to work.) I started working, so I'm gone - and while it's only for about 3 hours, he's still used to having me around ALL the time. His things are being packed up, his dog is gone. Plus I'm getting more and more pregnant and I'm sure he's picking up on that. It's not that he doesn't have an excuse to be a pain or act up... I fully understand it, and being not even two yet, he of course doesn't understand when we tell him what's going on, and he can't communicate how he's feeling. But again, just because he has a reason to act the way he's acting, doesn't mean he's not being annoying.
It probably doesn't help that both Mommy and Daddy are stressed either. I mean, I'm 26 weeks pregnant. I'm tired, I'm swollen, my back hurts. I picked up this new job, and while it's not hard, it is a lot of up and down and bend and stand... I try to clean/pack while I'm here during the day but if Cayden's awake he tends to just go behind me and un-clean or un=pack... And I feel like while I've been non-stop cleaning or packing... Things still aren't done. I mean a lot of it we can't do until we get the truck because it's bigger furniture. But I'm impatient. And I would like it done... Oh, yesterday.
I dunno what the whole point of this post was. Mindless babbling I guess. Anyway, I'm exhausted and am going to give up on the packing tonight and hit the hay early. If you're still up - keep voting for Cayden! The contest ends tonight at midnight and we should know tomorrow morning if he won or not. Every vote counts!
welllll did he win!!!???
ReplyDeleteNo - he didn't :-( And in my opinion he's way cuter than the kid that did win!
ReplyDeleteThat sucks! But I wonder how many votes the winner got... u know Cayden must have gotten a ton of votes with you and everyone else voting like crazy, plus the fact that he is a total cutie.
ReplyDeleteI definitely feel your pain with the kids are annoying thing. The people who constantly post on facebook or babycenter or wherever about how amazing kids are ALL THE TIME are full of poo. I love my son like crazy... but then there are times when he just makes me crazy, you know? He'll be two in less than a week and this past week it's become more and more apparent how close we are to two. Multiple temper tantrums every day... getting more picky about what he wants to eat or watch on TV or this or that.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I love him more than I ever thought I could lover a child... and he's the cutest thing in the entire world (no offense), but some days he makes me want to scream.
And I'm sorry Cayden didn't win the contest. The other mom probably cheated and paid people to vote.
