Parenting after a Loss

my mom is driving me crazy.

Yes I was totally looking forward to having her visit but GOOD GAWD this woman drives me insane.

- she is so spacey - she opens all the cabinets up looking for a glass/plate/etc - and the next time she goes to get the same item - she can't freaking remember what cabinet it was in!

- I was freezing my BM today and instead of gently pouring the milk into the bag, she hastily dumped the bottle into the bag that wasn't quite open and it back washed and she probably spilled 1.5 oz... GRRRRRR

- Groceries are expensive where we live - today when I went grocery shopping I heard her tell me again how expensive they were like 294696034 times...and then continued to freak out when they taxed groceries. 

- She will play with Avery right after she eats... but she is jostling her around and It makes MY tummy hurt thinking about it.  Avery spit up today for the first time in I don't even know how long

- My mom has long curly-ish hair.  And she will run a brush through it when it's dry - which just makes it frizzy and poofy.  She never cleans out the hair brush when she's done.  It totally grosses me out.

- She sleeps in her underwear - this is ok at HOME but it grosses me out knowing she was sleeping in her underwear on the comforter in the guest room...

- While playing with Avery's toys - she totally has ADD and is LOUD!!!  It's ok for a ~7 month old to bang on the zylophone but not the 51 year old woman

- she doesn't make our dog obey and she riles him up and I want to scream.

 

but... all this (and more) aside, I'm glad she's here.  its good to see her
