People say the craziest things....

Tonight while over at my mil's house she shared that the reason Allison hadn't started walking yet is because we don't have carpet in our house......
:-q

What are crazy things that people have said to you lately?

Oh, mil told me the baby isn't walking yet because we never put shoes on him...

While I was with Pickle, who was walking with shoes on, a woman told me that babies won't learn to walk with shoes on  :-??

Ew..all weird.

I facilitated a dinner two weeks ago and needed to stay over night and then had another over night that same week and two people asked me at the dinner if they could see pics of V...I was fine with that...they knew me. They proceeded to say how if he was their baby they could never leave him...he is so cute and sweet. "Oh how do you leave him all the time?"

OMG.

An older person asked me if he was real. ?!?! I didn't know what to say, so I just smiled and nodded.

Recently one of the judges I work for, a woman in her late 70's, asked me if Luke was sleeping through the night yet. I said no, he's doing better, but we're still getting up for the day around 4am. She said "have you tried reasoning with him?" I giggled, thinking she was kidding, but nope. Apparently, 1 year olds should completely understand when you tell them that Mama doesn't want to wake up that early so he can either sleep it play quietly in his crib until I'm ready to wake up.

Oh jeez. You know what did work for that?! Kim West's suggestions. James was getting up between 4:45-5:30 am for like 2 months. Brutal. Anyway, she suggested not letting them get out of the crib until 6 am. We sat by James' crib and kept laying him back down and patting his back until he went back to sleep. I thought it would never work but it definitely did. Now he's sleeping until 6:30 or even 7 some days.

That is just rude. I'm sure they weren't saying it to be judgemental but it certainly comes off that way. I wish people would think before they speak. You're an awesome mommy.

I know. It's comes off very judgey and it stung a bit.

She said you are supposed to have them off the boob and on a cup by 8 months. :-w She also was saying that a girl at her work still nurses her almost 4 year old and how disgusting it is. I guess she doesn't remember that I breastfed my middle daughter till she was a little over 3. I guess I am disgusting too. :-w

I hate those types of comments. The thing is - no one can seem to pinpoint why it's "disgusting". Probably because it isn't. Ugh.

My coworkers love to ask me when I'll be done nursing Finn and talk about how gross extended breastfeeding is. Interesting, since they are supposed to be breastfeeding advocates. :-/
