    Nick names

    I agree with greatdad. You should let them know you would really appreciate them calling your son by his given name, the one you chose so carefully to give him. I had to tell my grandmother the same thing as she called my son junior and he is not. His first name is Jeff not Jeffery like mine...

    Pressure

    I agree with NoEnergy that you have to communicate. My wife has never put any pressure on me and I am thankful for that. I brought home roses for her Monday and her reaction "aww you didn't have to".

    So Tired

    It has been 4 years since I have had a sound restful sleep! My son is just now starting to sleep through the night fully and if he wakes he goes to the bathroom without waking us up! Sleep when you can that is what my wife told me how she got through it.

    Tractor pull

    Wow that is pretty inexpensive for a hotel room! Tractor pulls are a lot of fun, my wife and son love to go with me and we make it a family event. I have not traveled to see any that would require an overnight stay though.

    Breastfeeding in public

    My wife pumps a bottle for our youngest if we are going out to a restaurant or public place. But at families houses she just covers with a blanket and everyone is fine with it. It is what we feel is best for our baby so we don't care what others think.

    "What's that?" "What's that?" "What's that?"

    YES! I am going through that right now with my 4 year old! When I know he already knows the answer I just turn the question around and ask him what it is. That usually gets him to smile and answer.

    Errands

    Sam- my children are the same way. It depends on who they are going to the store with or going away with to how they will act. My parents pointed it out about a year ago! Now we are all on the same page and it doesn't matter who they are going with and they behave properly.

    I feel outnumbered!

    I actually go shopping more than my wife does. But we usually all go as a family together. If it is to the grocery store for a few things I will take my son so that she can get a little break.
