Screwed up tonight... could use some help or a 2x4

[sparks14]

Thanks all. It was just a crazy moment. Yes, the swaddle is something you figure out with a baby. Mine even at 6 months will simply not go to sleep without one.

W came bright and early to pick up our S to take him to daycare and school. He had been up since 5:50 this morning, so I had everything set before she got here. He had been fed, changed, bag packed, bottles filled, and just ready to go.

Next to the bag, I made her a to-go coffee cup with a taped note on it. (I know, I know). This was in a much different tone from the apologetic text from last night. It simply said that I recognized how this week (first ever daycare, new job, etc.) has been completely emotionally and physically exhausting for her. I couldn't imagine how she felt right now and understand that she just wanted a quiet night with some dinner and a bed. I told her that I hope she had a better day, and that I promised it would all get easier.

No apologies. Just validations.

When she got here, she actually apologized for her behavior. This was very welcoming. (I am a very apologetic person when I do wrong. W not so much.) She said that she was just so tired and only wanted a small break while I had our S. I accepted her apology and told her to have a great day as she left.

Crisis aborted. I'm pretty sure.
