    What a miracle! I remember reading about this years ago. It's amazing how accurate the age progression photo was.

    Just found out today the boy is having his grommets operation and possible adenoids removal next Wednesday! There was a cancellation and this drops right during the Easter holidays so I jumped at the chance. Bit shocked, but rather get it over and done with before he starts school at the end of the month. Dreading the general anaesthetic, but distracting myself by organising fun activities to do while he recovers. So much play dough equipment...

    That’s what I was thinking. I can’t eye roll hard enough. Men will always be Peter Pan.

    I hope it gets better for you soon Nicole.

    So maybe I am an awful person, but to all those dad friends who just moan and whinge about how they have no fun any more and their whole lives have changed, I am judging their dad and husband skills majorly. Of course your life is going to change, kids are a massive upheaval, but you can change too to adapt and enjoy. Sure my husband gets less time to build robots than he did before, but he gets more time to play with the kids which he loves.

    Also, I am so rolling my eyes at any husband who complains the wife has let herself go and that he isn't getting any. She will KNOW he feels that way even if he hasn't said it to her, and that will not help her feel sexy. And chances are she has even less time to herself than he does, so if he expects her to 'look after' herself, he needs to step up and give her the opportunity before complaining to his childless mates.

    Your husband will step up, and he will be fine. And you'll probably have less sex for a while, but your relationship is strong enough to ride through that, you'll be ok.

    Anyway, rant over. Tldr: unimpressed at man who is shocked life changing event changes his life.

    Anne-Marie, I agree. I remember going on a women's retreat with my church when Tamara was 5 and Ian was 2. The moms got to talking about where the kids were and I said mine were at home with Denni. Someone actually said, "You let your husband babysit?" I replied, "He's not babysitting. He's parenting his children like he always does.". And I have heard him tell new dads to stay home and do laundry for their wife instead of coming to guys night out.

    Godspeed to the boy. He will feel ever so much better. Popsicles, mom, lots of Popsicles.

    Happy Friday!

    I confess I ate Mexican buffet for lunch (only one plate, yay, me!), and a big bowl of ice cream AND Cadbury mini-eggs for dinner. And I didn't log any of it!

    Weight was still down this morning. :bigsmile:

    Meanwhile, I have been under calorie goal for 3 days in a row, and have steadily climbed .2 lbs a day since. :lol:

    Wait I looked at my log. I lied. 2 days in row. What the heck?! :tongue: The day I gorged myself on mexican, I hit a new low on the scale. Wait... Maybe I'm on to something here. I vote we start the "Mexican and margaritas" diet. Take that Paleo!

    Let me do some googling. I'm sure I can find an article touting the health benefits of a daily margarita. (Something about the uh alcohol in moderation every day, and um, the uh digestive benefits of lime juice.) Yeah!

    Yeah, I’m making the slowest progress known to man. Down 2lbs, up a bit, up a bit more, up a bit more, down 2lbs. It equates to about 1lb a month. It sucks balls.
