Thanks, Tamar- sounds like you really know where I am coming from. DH would also claim "just asking what you wanted" about the watch thing. I also think he is snippy with me sometimes because he is annoyed with work.
I am making more friends, and DD is getting to know people here so we COULD leave her for a while with friends, and I don't htink she would notice we were gone. But DH is the one who says he doesn't really WANT to leave her. Part of that, I am sure, is that he REALLY doesn't want to impose on people. Of course we could pay our friends, or offer to keep their kids in return, but he is just funny. Considering our anniversary coming up, though, maybe we'll get an evening alone. Another thing is that he works ~45 hrs./week, then runs or other exercises ~5 hrs./week, and he says he wants to be with her as much as he can. I am really thankful for that, because when I was pregnant I was worried he would never want to be home again!
And now that I have been home for 2 years, sometimes it seems like I don't have anythign to talk about except DD and her progress in potty training, or our friends, which is not exactly riveting conversation material. But I am glad DH is interested in DD's progress, and I try to listen to the same talk radio he does so we can discuss that. It is a little effort but I do try to keep the same interests as him.
Anyway, thanks again, Tamar. Have a great weekend!
