I've mentioned that SIL is not a planner and therefore she did little to no reading/research before bringing a helpless infant into the world. She told MIL that she knows "they say no blankets, but it's just so soft and she (the baby) loves it"
Picture me making the Grumpy Cat face. Fuck. No.
Okay, but you're going to talk to her re:suffocation, correct?
Oh, yes, I clarified for BIL how serious and unsafe that is as soon as I found out about it.
Just found out my SIL is loosely swaddling my 4 day old niece and covering her with a fuzzy blanket.
I may shit all the bricks tonight.
How did you find this out?
MIL has been over there and witnessed it. She was concerned but doesn't know the current recommendations on things. I guess I can see where it isn't that bad for a nap if an adult is sitting there the whole time, but I told him baby will scoot around in the night and no loose blankets.
I just can't handle the, "I know it's unsafe, but I'm going to do this anyway" mentality. I don't understand why you wouldn't always err on the side of caution for your child.
Today was a good day. I was able to work without getting to down and we ran errands and went to dinner. DH got an awesome job opportunity that we'll know more about tomorrow after a meeting with some project managers from his work. Cross your fingers for us!
Unfortunately my mom caught our stomach bug..
My uncle has pretty much given up. My cousin is devastated and pissed as hell at my aunt (uncles sister, not wife) she lives with them and is constantly nagging uncle and cousin about everything and he's just at the end of his rope with her. I think if she moved out (never really moved in, just stopped going home after her husband died) the mood in their house would get better and he would keep fighting the cancer. But how do you ask a grieving widow to go home? You don't..
Sometimes TB is one big hate read. I love a lot of ladies but sometimes I want to reach through the computer and shake people.
I love a lot of people and I've made a lot of friends but sometimes my favorite thing to do is scan through new bmbs or the tri-boards just for a good WTF.
I have a lot of feelings tonight and most of them are bitter. It's not anyone's fault. I thought that I could just drink and have fun but it might one of those nights where I just need to ride it out. I should probably stop drinking and go to bed. I don't even know what I'm talking anymore.

----EFFF YOU QUOTEBox---- Did you just quote yourself? I honestly didn't know you could do that. Well played.

Yes! I love quoting myself when I don't want to edit something.
Moody Monday is right. A lost it when we got him out of the bath and refused his bedtime bottle. He was clawing a kicking like a wild animal, just like the tantrum he had the other day. I tried holding him several different ways and rocking him, but he didn't want anything to do with it.
I finally had to set him down is his crib. I told him, "Good night. I love you" and left the room. He screamed bloody murder for about a minute and then just rolled around chewing his lovey for 10 minutes or so until he fell asleep. It makes me so sad that I can't help him calm down.
Can I just say how glad I am that I am not the only one with a baby who throws fits/tantrums? I was beginning to think we were doing something wrong because he will literally throw fits (mostly if we tell him not to do something like touch the lamp) and scream and thrash around. Glad we are not alone!!
GP, I'm just seeing this. I'm having a shitty night too. I love you. I wish we were geographically closer so we could drink and cry together. You're the best and you deserve the best things. I'm sorry you're having a tough night.
My aunt and uncle's plans changed and now they are coming over...DH works late tomorrow so it works out for us. I have a Honey Baked Ham in my fridge right now for the get together. Which makes me happy. Christmas has always been getting together with a ton of family. So this is a step in the right direction.
Glad to hear it! Hope it's a nice get together. L looked like he enjoyed seeing Santa!
Re: Moody Monday!
After I finish dinner it's on.

No more words are needed. The fact that you care is enough.

Sorry, those last two are profane. I just know the F-bomb is in there somehow

@trtlcrzy Yes. This WW is awful.
I know we want to be the ones to make it all better, but I think they have to have these moments too. Hugs!
