Nut's day with dad

The Bear took Nut to a supervised visit with the evil in-laws. Nut slept the whole time and probably never realized he was there. Mom in law was babysitting Aunt M’s kid while she went shopping with her friends. In-law says kid looks just like me. (This in-law was the one who suggested the paternity test when finding out I was preggers). Aunt M came home and said he was cute and calm and that I am “so lucky to have a husband who will do this type of stuff” for me because her boyfriend “doesn’t do shit.” I told Bear to remind her that he only does it once a week and I have the other 6 days. What I really wanted to say was something like, “it was your choice to be with the guy, don’t blame me that I have it better.” Guess who was infatuated with the Nut? Uncle M. I have no problem with this because, despite everything that the evil in-laws had said and done, I really like Uncle M because he doesn’t get involved in the bullshit. I also met him when he was 14 and in my opinion he was able to make his own judgments about me. It’s also really cool that I ma from Humboldt and could get him the coolest stuff from Humboldt for his birthdays and Christmas. Yes, I have no problem with M watching Nut unsupervised.

But the cousin…. Here are the reasons why Bear had decided that the Nut won’t be chilling with his cousin anytime soon.

1. The house has been hot boxed several times this past year with the baby in it. What are the effects of that on developmental abilities?

2. Aunt M’s boy friend has left his UNLOCKED, LOADED gun on the living room table, despite her requesting it be locked.

3. The kid eats no thing but junk food

4. The boy friend has a temper and an attitude problem and is escalating

5. The kid runs around the house, picking things up and throwing them. He’s not even one yet and mom doesn’t bother to tell him no.

6. If kid doesn’t get what he wants, he starts screaming. Mom always gives in.
