PEACE OFFERING?
Yesterday i was miffed, upset, angry and annoyed at husband. Why you may ask? For the simple reason that he allowed Kayla to sleep in our bed instead of her bedroom.
Let me start by explaining. First of all Kayla is 5 yrs old and she needs to sleep in her own bed and in her own room. We decided that we were going to strictly enforce that she sleeps in her own bed by herself when school started. She has been doing great but would regress back to wanting someone to sleep with her when daddy is home and after she comes back from her mommy’s.
Its not that I’m heartless its just i want her to really get use to her sleeping alone first and then we can have a sleep over in our bed on weekends. What got me upset last night was that husband didn’t ask if she could sleep in our bed, he just told me that she will be sleeping in our bed. I kind of felt like,what am i? Don’t i have a say in this? The other reason why i didn’t want her sleeping there was that Ralph has to get out of bed at around 5:30 am and get ready for work. I didn’t want to take a chance that she might wake up and then starts crying because she doesn’t want daddy to go to work.
I slept in my other daughter’s room on the floor. I was so upset that while watching the movie “another Cinderella story” i cried. Crying out my frustration,annoyance and anger helped. At times like this makes me want to see my mother and just talk to her and tell her my problems..Still i went to bed a little upset.
Waking up at the sound of the alarm in the morning really gets to me, i have to scramble to find the clock to turn it off so not to wake up the baby. Went in our room and shook him awake, i couldn’t resist saying a parting shot
“good-luck getting ready,i hope she doesn’t wake up“
She woke up after her daddy left,seeing that he wasn’t in bed she went searching for me and the baby. At this point the baby was already on the floor with me, i took her out of the crib after i woke up Ralph so she could snooze in my arm while we wait for the alarm to go off. Thank goodness Kayla didn’t have any meltdowns that morning about getting ready for school,she normally doesn’t but with kids you never know.
When daddy got home he bore gifts. He doesn’t really like to apologize and he knew that i was upset so he bought me M&M peanut. That melted me right away,lol he knows my weakness. He didn’t have to say the words sorry,i know him enough already. I’m working on that though,someday it will get easier for him to admit HE IS WRONG AND I’M ALWAYS RIGHT!!!!
